KTM Duke 390 Gen 3 | Its Been 8000 Kms | This Is What I Feel | Review 2024

[@debopam-x5]

Really difficult to find good contents on Duke390 gen3 in yt. You are doing a great job. Subscribed. Does the fuel gauge give accurate reading? Mine seems to have a lot of difficulty in giving a consistent reading. Highly unreliable. I got my tank removed to check if the level sensor is correctly calibrated, but the sensor seemed ok. The issue is even if I fill the tank up completely, the reading would show the bar not completely filled. Similarly it would show empty tank, even if there is more than reserve amount left. Also, anything that could help reduce the vibrations (mine has the most between 5-6K RPM). Mainly the tank, footpegs and handle. Balls hurt on long rides from prolonged vibrations. Mine has run for 3000km so far. Also, do you face any engine oil leakages along the bottom of the engine where the left and right casing joins?

[@DipayanBose]

@@debopam-x5regarding fuel level indicator, you need to show it to the ASC. Seems to be the sensor issue only. Vibrations will lessen after second oil change, provided you have done a proper break-in of the engine. Try changing it early around 3500 to 4000 kms. Oil leakage is a major concern. Show it to the ASC ASAP. Ride safe

do yourself a favor and sell 390 and get updated 250

[@Saga3282]

@@bestcocbaseswithlink5069get the 3rd gen Duke 250 instead? Is there a reason? I am considering to buy the 3rd gen duke 390 any feedback would be much appreciated.

[@bestcocbaseswithlink5069]

@@Saga3282 is not for indian roads...your likelihood of dying is significantly increased with 390...+shit mileage,vibrations,heating especially is summer...much more expensive maintenance

[@Saga3282]

@@bestcocbaseswithlink5069 I am considering other alternatives such as de MT03 and the NK450 as well. I appreciate your comments BTW. I’ve been a KTM user for over 3 years and I like the brand but, I want to make a safe investment when buying my next bike and I also want to make sure if I make the investment that, it will not turn into a head ache for me. I want something I can enjoy for a long time free of problems.

[@rtrider5622]

What service interval u will suggest in terms of KM...

[@DipayanBose]

@@rtrider5622 go as per the service schedule in the manual. Have the engine oil replaced every 4000 kms. Stock Air filter every 2000 kms. Chain maintenance every 500 kms.

[@rtrider5622]

@DipayanBose In manual..engine oil replacement is after 5 to 6k KM only

[@DipayanBose]

@@rtrider5622 yes, but its better to replace early. Thats what I felt for this engine.

[@Anythingbuteverything-uz9bg]

I don't agree to you, I own the BS4 2019 Duke 390 and My brother owns the current duke 390 gen 3, the gen 3 accelerates way better and faster than my Bs4 390 duke, I guess you are trying to refrence to the BS3 390 duke, which was raw power, most of it was because the weight of that bike was just around 140+ kgs compared to today's duke. What the new duke has done us brought that first generation duke's slight acceleration and power, way better than the BS4 or BS6 models from 2017 to 2022.

How does the pull of this motorcycle comoare to speed 400? I did a test ride of duke 390 gen 3 and Speed 400 ... personally i felt the vibrations even in idle condition in duke ...but the thing is while riding the excitement makes u ignore the vibration ....but in speed 400 man the engine is smooth and it has the comparable amount of pull ....i am more inclined to speed 400......but would love hear your side of opinion for Triumph speed 400 vs ktm duke 390 vs Triumph scram 400x

[@DipayanBose]

Yes Duke definitely is more viby than the Triumph 400`s. If you want good performance with gentleman style motorcycle, you should definitely go for the speed 4. But if you want an absolute powerhouse with the right amount of features all of which aids fine tuning the performance even more and don't mind the vibes which is more of a character than vibration, go for the duke eyes shut. in between speed 4 and scram 4, its personal preference. If you are tall enough and like tall bikes which are better for longer rides, then go for the scram 4. But if you primarily would be using it inside city, then Speed would be a better choice. Hope it helps. Thanks.

[@vishalkumar-th4gz]

@DipayanBose Thanks a lot brother

[@kittu0077]

please review once new 390 adventure comes and how much it is better than the RE and Triumph in highway and in city

[@DipayanBose]

I will most definitely try. Thanks

[@SeventhSonRiders]

can I cruise this bike Bengaluru to Mumbai NH4 Highway at 140 MKPH ?? Please reply me because I m from Belgaum and I m working in Bengaluru I just booked this bike for some time go for month end ride around 550 kms is it worth ? please suggest me I'm 5.5 feet pls ?

[@DipayanBose]

@@SeventhSonRiders yes absolutely. Engine wise no issues at 140. Wind blast could be an issue in that speed. Bike is comfortable and very stable in every terrain except off roading. However this is not a bike for touring. Hence the compact design. You would need frequent breaks. And yes fuel consumption is also an issue. From a tank of usable fuel of 10 litres, with a highway milage of 25 if ridden bellow 100 kmph in 6th gear. So again frequent visits in pumps for refuelling.

[@shrikantthakre3546]

How is the the ride quality and feeling compared to highness

[@DipayanBose]

@@shrikantthakre3546 you cannot compare this to hness. Both are poles apart.

[@jessiepinkman9987]

I really want to know how u feel...since am also owning a hness​@@DipayanBose

[@nazeerchowdry]

How are the vibrations below 5k rpm? Is it something that bothers too much when you want to have a lazy ride?

[@DipayanBose]

@@nazeerchowdry no serious vibes anywhere. But mild buzz all through.

[@DipayanBose]

Lazy rides are absolutely possible in this. Of-course not like cruisers or long stroke engine bikes, but it can be done. A video will be made on this soon. Stay tuned. Thanks

[@maek112]

​@@DipayanBosecan I expect reliability from it atleast for 8-10 years ?

[@maek112]

​@@DipayanBoseplz answer because I am confused if should I go for this safely

[@DipayanBose]

@@maek112 sorry I can’t comment on that. 10 years is a lot of time. Longevity of machines depends a lot on how well you maintain it. How you ride it. But 1 thing I can tell you, performance oriented bikes have less engine life than other bikes. In general, Honda engines are known for their reliability in the long run.
