An open letter to all bikers in India. Please read fully before commenting. Never buy a KTM in India. It's with utmost disappointment I'm writing this. KTM is undoubtedly one of the best European motorcycle brands and Duke 390 is truly a piece of art. But their service provided in India courtesy of Bajaj is among the worst out there. Buying a bike is only half the story, ease of maintenance is a major factor in its ownership. Throughout my 9 month experience of owning a KTM Duke 390, I experienced how badly KTM service centers can screw things mainly because they don't even know how to work on it. I have seen horrible things in KTM service centers, how unprofessionally they work. To give a taste of it, I have seen a service center in Bangalore tilting the brake fluid reservoir to empty it and filling it with new fluid and screwing the cap back on. No pumping whatsoever! I have seen another service center claiming to adjust accelerator cable in my ride by wire bike. Whenever they fix something, they make room for new faults. My particular bike has visited various KTM service centers across south India for more than 20 times in just 9 months / 15000 km of ownership! After they did some work on clutch, the whole clutch assembly got loose and got disconnected from gearbox shaft inside because it was not properly fitted. It happened twice! I am right now in the process of shortlisting good mechanics outside KTM to take my bike next time. There are plenty in Bangalore who works on superbikes and are happy to work on KTM bikes. It's a great bike and if works are done as per KTM service manual these bikes are highly reliable. But how pathetic, I have to find a good mechanic to work as per KTM standards which I can't find in their own authorised service centers. KTM India needs to learn a lesson or two from Honda 2 Wheelers India . Honda has a separately qualified technician to work on CBR 250R in every main Honda service center! KTM India support doesn't even reply to the emails if they figure out the mistake is on their side. With experience from my life as well as with my close friends, I suggest anyone who is planning to buy a KTM in India to drop the plan, spend more, get a Japanese bike and have peace of mind! Even the new Apache is a better choice as they claim they have technicians specifically trained to work on it. Or if you're someone who likes to work on your own bike or if you know a good mechanic who can work on KTM, just go for it. It's the best! Just don't rely on KTM authorised service centers. They spoil perfectly running bikes. Just search RU-vid for other KTM owners' service center experiences.

Awesome review man 👍 Fist time I am watching your video and I loved it

Your vlogs feel like you are more likely with us rather than in front of the cam 😘😘😘😍great that is why i love your vlogs!!!

Informative. What we can derive from this is, never buy 390 Adventure in its first iteration.

Nice video. I took delivery of my Duke on Feb 3rd 2018 and I've faced some of the problems that you mentioned. 1) Firstly, the time error. No matter how many times you set it right the time always changes in a few days. 2) the unsettling RPM is kind of an issue. I don't really completely agree with you. That is because this bike is meant to be ridden fast. Most of the power is delivered right from the mid range to the top end. The bike really does complain if you ride it slow. 3) sometimes the bike does konk out and the display says that it's an ECU failure but all you have to do is turn off the ignition and turn it back on and then you're good to go. However, there are a few things that I do not agree on. The first thing that I'd like to point out is the loosening of the bolts. This bike is not designed for off roading from the get-go. The bolts and nuts are not really designed to handle the stresses & vibrations induced from off-roading. I'm not going to tell you how to ride your bike but I would refrain myself from taking this bike off road if I were you. Thanks for the video, it was quite informative and I have an idea of what other owners face when owning this bike.

I purchased 2018 duke 390, gear position indicator does not work at times,

4:17 same thing happened to me with the gear lever after replacement. it came of in the middle of my 1100km trip and dragged over the road after replacing the entire gear rod section by KTM

Most searched question on RU-vid by bikers now solved *TRUE MSKIAN*

Really great that u showcased these probs, even my rc 200 is having some of these similar probs, but ktm hasnt been able to fix it yet. Nd i really love ur editing, ride safe.

All the errors have been rectified in the new 2018 duke 390. None of these problems mentioned by MSK I've faced. I have completed my 2000km ride yesterday and my experience was no less than extraordinary. Quality of this bike is Top Notch. I was doing 140+ for 100kms straight and it was stable. It does get unstable at 130+ when there is heavy windblast. Fuel consumption depends heavily on your speed like my fuel economy was- 32-35kmpl @ 70-85kmph 28-30kmpl @ 90-100kmph 25-26kmpl @ 100-110kmph 22-25kmpl @ 110-125kmph 18-20kmpl @ 130-150kmph It is undoubtedly the best bike in its price range and segment. P.s. The only thing I didn't like much is the Seat. It gets uncomfortable after 200kms or so.

Wow!! Beautiful bike and Very informative vlog for bikers..literally, m watching first time ur vlog. Lots of love from Arunachal Pradesh Northeast, India.💙💛💚

hahaha looks like a very honest review,atleast from how he is talking about the bad stuffs 🤣

Well i have my duke 390 2017 model. Nd i have done around 15000 km in 11 months. But the only problem i have faced is ECU failure nd none of the others.

Pls suggest which is better .. Duke or rc 390 2019 edition

Man I subscribed to this guy when there were some 100 subscribers..he has over 220k now in a short time..good job msk.

I am pulsar 220 user. I have been using pulsar 220f since 2010 and I haven't faced such issues either with engine or spare parts. Made in India is the best u can ever trust. Now modern featuristic, sophisticating technology makes everything complicated whether it be with engine or smart phones.

how much cost for that part mine got some heavy scratches 😪

Aaj Jo video bheja bahut accha laga bhai meri taraf se dil se thank you

osm...Bhai....all the best or videos ke liye

I was about to buy this bike....... ..bro but u changed my thought 😂😂😂😂😂btw bhai it was a good review

6:03 My Himalayan too had this problem.

Should you suggest Apache RR 310 over KTM Duke 390?

Which one do you prefer for long rides Himalayan or duke 390?

My same bike is 14days old, 557km only and the top right leg guard bolt is broken and stuck while riding. Bolt is now stuck in frame, flush with no user way to remove. I mean first service bhi nahi hui hai abtak.. And why everyone is having issues with leg guard in front left, top bolt? I think it's great from fan as it comes from that side only and engine heat.. And heat se hua metal expand, halka sa jhatka and bolt gone.

Hey MSK! Add Polytron to solve that RPM issue. Ping me if you wanna try it out. ;)

Have faced these issues with regards to the trip and also the nut bolts bcumin loose..There are still a loads of problems regarding the KTM duke 390 2017 and I have heard KTM is going to call all the buyers one by one to sort out the issues..Hope they do it soon..Nice video MSK

What about excessive heating problems? Does your bike overheat? Are the radiator fans always on? Do they make a lot of noise? Please share.

8:56 to ........ I want the music please 💖💖💖💖🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
