What are the problems in KTM Duke 200?
17 April 2025 23:15

The KTM Duke 200 is prone to several common issues. One of the most significant problems is the low oil pressure, often caused by a faulty clutch side gasket that does not seal properly, leading to oil leaks and reduced pressure. Replacing this gasket and ensuring it is properly sealed can resolve this issue. Another common problem is the leaking of the stator wire socket rubber, which can be fixed by resealing the area with a gasket maker. Additionally, wiring harness issues can cause various problems, including starting difficulties and error codes, which may require repairs or replacements. Starting problems, sometimes accompanied by a clicking sound, can be due to low voltage issues, often related to the stator coil. Regular maintenance such as changing the oil, replacing the fuel filter, and adjusting the chain can also help mitigate these problems. Furthermore, installing a voltmeter can help monitor the battery voltage and prevent low-voltage-related issues.

Why do I have a feeling that some riders will not buy the KTM Duke 125 if Yamaha MT 15 V1 is available at a similar price?
03 February 2025 05:33
Riders might prefer the Yamaha MT-15 V1 over the KTM Duke 125 due to its more powerful engine (18.1 bhp vs 14.3 bhp) and better fuel efficiency (around 56.87 kmpl vs 46.92 kmpl). The MT-15 also offers a more refined riding experience and better visual appeal, which could sway buyers away from the Duke 125 if priced similarly.

The only thing I’ve heard about was some electrical gremlins, but nothing major. It’s mostly just little annoyances.
What is the Duke 790 like for touring long distances?

For A2 riders, it’d be perfect! Less power with the restrictor, but more power when derestricted, but still manageable with the restrictor.
Is the KTM Duke 490 project dead, or has it gotten delayed?
14 January 2025 07:08
The 490 project was a loser from the get-go. Rather, KTM should be concentrating on refining their current models rather than stuffing yet another engine size into their lineup.
Why does the KTM Duke 890 sport an overblown electronics package?
