Last of the Duke..... For Now.....

[@HushHushHandle]

Thank you for all your content. These have been the best duke 390 videos.

[@RhoadsChristopher]

Cheers. Hoping to have more in summer.

[@TheMoghrabimahmoud]

One of the best 390 builds on the internet

[@RhoadsChristopher]

Thanks! I really appreciate that.

[@X_l_V_I]

Ist literally the best and there isn't any more videos about it

[@X_l_V_I]

And another thing I don't see is a turbo duke 390 🎉😂

[@CreativeCriminalsBangalore]

Bro! I absolutely love this build and I've been upgrading my D390 just the way you do. I'm jealous of how many parts you get over there. Even though these bikes are produced here in India, we don't get jack shit without paying almost 150% import duty. Please, please make more of these videos. Godspeed

[@RhoadsChristopher]

Thanks bud. We will see, my bike is in Texas and I'm living in Norfolk at the moment.

Ight my boi I’m waiting for the dyno vid

[@RhoadsChristopher]

Me too! It's gonna be a while = ( I'm living out of state for work and won't be able to do much with it for a while.

dude! I got my 2022 390 Duke 1 month ago.. got it back from the dealership 2 days ago after handing it over to them for it's 1st 1000kms service.. if you couldn't tell I've come across your channel all the way from Melbourne, Australia. you've already helped me so much and I've only come across this video literally now... Ive done so much to the bike in the month Ive had it.. with so many parts installed already, list as long as my arm. but with more serious ones to come as my Powertronic ECU is already on it's was.. and more.. thanks for all the knowledge you've helped us all with, stay safe and hope to hear from you again sooner than later!

[@RhoadsChristopher]

Cheers mate. I have a few small videos I'm going to do over Christmas, but I have a project inspired by a friend that is coming out that just might be insteresting to a lot of people.

[@raoulrr]

Hey now, I DO CARE about Volswagens!! :) I just got a 2023 290 Duke (sold my old ZX-6R), but I also own a modded 2017 Golf GTI stg2 (which gets track time regularly) and another Mk7 Sportwagen TDI with a Malone tune (which is my daily). So whether it's Golf R or 390 Duke, I'm there LOL.

[@RhoadsChristopher]

Nice! I'm waiting for IE to freaking release the flex fuel tune for the mk 7.5 R

[@Prootus]

What have been the top mods for the 1st gen duke in your opinion? Currently got a fuelx lite and a 3d printed airbox lid on mine, always looking for more things to change on the bike :)

[@RhoadsChristopher]

Shift shaft bracket with short shifter. Also, the quick shifter has been fun haha😊

[@theaustralianconundrum]

The oil change on those things is so complex. LOL

[@RhoadsChristopher]

They only get more complicated with the newer models too.

[@theaustralianconundrum]

@@RhoadsChristopher Just the one KTM was enough for me! Cheers.

[@kennytofu9848]

Hey man just purchased a 2015 rc390 with 2k miles. What all can I do to try to prevent reliability issues??

[@RhoadsChristopher]

Get a fueling computer, use good oil and swap out the fan.

[@kennytofu9848]

Appreciate the reply! Could you recommend me an ECU?

[@khmerghost]

I'm moving on toward the Yamaha r6. But the wife likes the zx10r more. 2 times the price but if the wife likes it. Nothing I can do haha.

[@kishoreachar8054]

Which exhaust are u running

[@RhoadsChristopher]

MIVV GP Exhaust. You can get it at a great price from Ebay.

[@theaustralianconundrum]

I jumped off a 2022 version of these things and onto a very low 7,000KM mileage 2020 Yamaha XSR900 and it's night and day. My goodness the build quality of the Yamaha is utterly fantastic compared to the rubbish KTM churn out.

[@theaustralianconundrum]

@@sonny9608 The Yamaha 2023 XSR900's are 10 grand rideaway. They are 100% made in Yamaha's Japan factory and build, component and assembly quality is 5 stars. Absolutely stunning. They were never over priced. KTM are 100% Made by Bajaj in India and are absolute rubbish. The 390 engine sounds like a baked bean can full of ball bearings rattling around inside. They sound like a Ducati which is arguably another piece of junk. The wiring loom and connectors on KTM's look like what they are. Cheap Indian or Chinese garbage. Assembly, fit and finish are second rate.
