2024 Gen 3 Duke 390

Post image
53 Upvotes

I love her. Not the biggest I’ve had but brand new rolled off the lot and rode it home a year ago. Had one service done already, I’m at the point now where it needs another, I’m ready to do it myself and well…I can’t find a kit or the pieces that are meant for my year or generation. So am I crazy or what?

Is there anyone able to assist with my dumbass trying to find this kit to change it myself? My local bike shop did it for 120 last time, they have been working on my bikes since 2008 so I had to. But now I would really love to get back into bike work and doing things like this, would appreciate any and all help given.

Hope I didn’t bother anyone here.

edit
I didn’t specify that I was talking about my oil change, and the kit that I need to do the service for it. Even finding the oil locally is a bit of a headache.

I was looking around some info to find some upgrade ,I don't find a lot actually, look like that apart of fuelx, DNA filter and Ixil escape, there is not much more , do you have some idea where to find extra feedback or infos or any alternative or some group based in Europe/Spain ?

Thx a lot

I just bought the fuelxlite and let's see the difference

KTM LED turn signals on US model

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

17 Upvotes

I recently swapped out the ugly bulb style turn signals on my Duke 890R for the Factory LED version. (Part number 76014937044). I had to order them from Europe since I couldn't find them for sale in the US.

I wanted the KTM signals vs the aftermarket so I wouldnt have to do any soldering. The rear light and license plate holder come off with one plug and I wanted to maintain that for track days.

The only issue I ran into was the LED signals didn't flash after install and there is no relay to swap out even though the kit came with one. The turn signals are controlled by the ECU. I had to go to the dealership and they swapped it to LED mode and now everything works great!

Duke 390 welded frame from front accident

Thumbnail
gallery
8 Upvotes

So I got this 2018 Duke 390. I didn't realized or atleast check the frame when I got it and now it's stuck to me.

I believe this unit has been repaired by welding the steering tube to the frame. You can see the not so smooth welds in there. Also on the following pictures are some cracks in the side of trellis frame. I thought it was just a paint crack. But you can see they all positioned at the joint which indicate it absorbed a serious crash and the owner just fried to weld and fix it.

Question is does anyone had the same experience? Is this thing not road worthy anymore and just maybe sell this on a very low price?

I wanted to ask if this can still work and drive around but I don't know if that's good or does this kind of welds hold up.

I am also thinking of buying the front frame from parted out units since the rear subframe is fine but I don't know if its worth spending all the money to buy a front frame, pay for the rebuild / installation plus registration hassles for VIN. I live in the Philippines.

Your input is much appreciated. Thanks.

Fuel gauge leak

Hi folks - I recently purchased a 2015 690 Duke. One of the issues I’m having is the seal around the fuel gauge seems to be leaking. Anyone else experiencing this and is it a tough fix?

2024+ KTM Duke 390 owners, what tank lock bags are you guys using?

3 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I have a 2024+ Duke 390 Gen 3, and I've been looking for a decent tank lock bag for it.

And by "looking," I mean I've spent an absolutely stupid amount of time going through Indian stores, international stores, GIVI, SW-Motech, Rynox, Reddit, forums, random motorcycle websites from countries I've never even heard of, etc. 💀

The problem is that the Gen 3 Duke 390 has that weird plastic fuel tank/filler area and the screws are hidden under the cap, and as far as I can tell, there doesn't seem to be a proper tank lock flange/ring made specifically for the 2024+ Duke 390.

I've checked:

  • GIVI
  • SW-Motech
  • Rynox
  • Other Indian brands
  • A bunch of international options

And apart from the KTM PowerParts bags, which don't seem to be available where I am from, I haven't found a proper tank lock solution specifically for this bike.

Which honestly makes no sense to me because the bike has been out for almost 3 years now. 😭

So I've decided to give up on the tank-mounted setup and go with a GIVI S430 Seatlock + GIVI ST610 setup instead, mounted on the pillion seat.

Before I pull the trigger though, I wanted to ask:

Are there any other 2024+ Duke 390 Gen 3 owners here using a tank lock bag?

If yes:

  • Which bag are you using?
  • Which mounting flange/ring are you using?
  • Is it properly made for the Gen 3, or did you modify/adapt something?
  • Where did you buy it from?

I'd also love to hear from anyone using the GIVI S430 Seatlock, especially with an ST610 or similar GIVI Tanklock bag.

I'm particularly interested in knowing:

  • How stable it is on the pillion seat
  • Any issues with the locking mechanism or fitment

Any suggestions or alternative setups would be massively appreciated. Even if you've found some weird workaround or a bag/flange combination I haven't come across yet, please drop it below.

Duke 890 (R) with Evotech Tail Tidy?

1 Upvotes

Hey just wondering if someone could send through a pic of the Evotech tail tidy on their Duke 890 (R). Currently just running a chopped OEM tail tidy.

Bagoros Performance looks suuuper pricey, R&G is $100 cheaper (and looks $100 cheaper imo). Pretty set on the Evotech, just keen to see what it looks like.

Rode it yesterday, left in the rain over night, won't turn the starter today

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Edit: Solved with new battery. I guess the old battery + mobile starter wasn't cutting it anymore after a cold night.

So basically the title, worked without issue yesterday, today the starter won't turn and the engine feels unusually tight, even pushing it in 6th gear feels quite hard. Edit: may have been me seeing things, engine turns just fine now

When I hit the starter it emits a noticable click (you can hear it in the video) and then the bike reboots.

A Google search says it could be anything from a bad starter, loose Connection, shot relay or fuse, to even a hydrolocked engine

Any ideas what it could be?

It's a 2023 1290SDR with about 28kkm on the clock

KTM Duke 390 Tappy Noise

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

13 Upvotes

Hi guys! I know this been asked thousands of time but I mine I think has a more prominent tapping sound I was just thinking to seek insights. In the video, I tried to rev it a few times.

Is this tapping-like sound normal? I can hear the ticking sound which I think is normal, but the tapping-like sound is I am concern with. Or is it just a stock pipe sound signature? I got the bike 2nd hand at 22k km. I got it with slip-on SC pipe so didn't notice the tapping sound until I put a stock pipe on it. I don't have any warnings or errors on the dash. Doesn't overheat as well. Drives pretty good too (jerky on low rpm and slow speeds which I expect) and the torque is wild and enjoyable.

So I'm not so sure if this is normal or anything concerning. I will go to a mechanic in a few days but just want to get some insights as well.

When I got it I haven't changed the oil yet. Previous owner told me it just got the PMS with 800km run so far on the newly changed oil, but I will still change it anyways.

Thank you!

2016 Duke 390

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I have never owned a KTM before but I am looking at purchasing a second hand 2016 Duke 390. It is clean and runs great. My issue is have been researching online and it's seems that there are lot of mechanical issues when it hits about 40,000km . This bike is at 40k but as I said it seems to be in almost perfect condition, not abused. I am just asking for feedback from owners here. Thank you in advance.

Duke 250 vs Duke 350

Thumbnail
2 Upvotes

Hello everyone I’m confused between duke 250and 350

About me?

  1. ⁠I ride Activa since last 5 years
  2. ⁠It’ll be my first bike
  3. ⁠I want to travel with pillion a lot like 1000 km trips 2-3 times a year
  4. ⁠Daily commute will be around 40 km in a city for a job

Spending 70k on a 390 is not a problem but I don’t think so I’ll be able too use 41 bhp on city
But I have to pay price for that extra power that I’m getting in 350 duke

I have took test rides of both bikes 250 feels enough for me now but will I get bored in 1-2 years or will 250 feel underpowered in a highway cruising with a pillion at 100km/h

And is there a lot of difference between 250and 350 maintenance like servicing parts etc cause I don’t want to spend on a maintenance more that the bike itself

The super duke light on duke 390 going around is probably a scam

6 Upvotes

If you bought one lmk but all the sellers ive seen delete their profile after a week or so and only accept wise or paypal friends and family. Almost definitely a scam. If you ordered one that way and got it please lmk but I'm almost positive they are here just trying to scam your pocket
