Dino you explained actual issues every one face but many can't find solutions even in the service centres...you are helping such bikers alot through this video...keep it up bro

[@TwistedVorteK]

*Legs get roasted like a Shawama* I laughed so hard at this XD This might actually be the only way to make people wear shoes while riding XD

[@DinosVault]

Twisted VorteK glad you enjoyed that buddy 😃😃

[@alfiedj]

[@teerthupadhyay3931]

[@carmelofrancisco9464]

By far the best duke 390 2017 ownership review I've watched

[@akhilnair1662]

Thanks a lot. I was worried how can I take care of my Duke 250. Now I know how to. Ride safe. :)

[@adrianaldueza]

Very useful video sir. It's past 3 years now since you post this video and yet it is full of information. If I am to compare this video to any other videos, your video is remarkably the most detailed. God bless you good sir.

[@PrithuDeb]

This vdo contains more imp info than the total number of bike vdos I watched in my entire life!

[@sharonskariahkurian6846]

Thank you bro for ur tips about 390..... My friend have already booked 390, thanks to u now I can share these tips with him

[@subhojyotidas7314]

By far the best maintenance video on duke 390.

[@DinosVault]

the sad part is no notification yet from KZbin regarding that, my KZbin manager told me it'll take 3 months to arrive because it has to come from California :(

[@ankitraturi2219]

oh it's sad to hear that, but don't worry sir jee sabar ka fal meetha hota hai ;-) i'm waiting to see that :)

super Sir...!! This is a really really useful video for upcoming bikers who wants to love his bike...😀

[@UhYeahWhateverDude]

Outstanding. Just waiting for the 2017 to get to Thailand so I can go pick one up. It hurts having to look at the available 2016's while I wait, lol.

[@PhantomRides]

Interesting... weird that KTM would ship off bikes without few parts being fit properly, this would explain why some buyers got the white 390 Duke lol

[@jatinmali9310]

I can't understand, what did you said?

[@ajaynelaturi7786]

dude you covered all the maintenance issues ,good job

[@retishsuresh4270]

Bro can you please tell me which bike is better duke 390 or rc 390

[@lavishpagaria]

I am a tall man(6 feet) and unable to decide between purchasing Dominar 400 and 2017 KTM Duke 390. I have test ridden both the bikes and considering the following few points: 1. Dominar which is bigger, looks better on me(public opinion) 2. Duke's ride at 20-30kmph speed is jerky - is it so or there was some problem in the test ride vehicle? whereas the Dominar rides gracefully even in 3rd gear at that speed. I could not ride the Duke at 20-30 speed in 3rd gear(either 1st or 2nd only) 3. The acceleration of Duke is phenomenal but Dominar felt more linear in power delivery 4. I will use the bike for daily commuting(in Gurgaon) and also weekend rides with a pillion (Dominar rear seat is more comfortable it seems) 5. I like the tyres and the TFT instrument cluster of Duke 6. I like the exclusivity of the Duke(no service lines and trained mechanics) whereas Dominar will be serviced with the other Bajaj bikes :( 7. Dominar is serviced per 5000 kms whereas Duke is serviced per 7500 kms - less cost of running and hassle? 8. I felt the Duke's power is concentrated in the mid/upper range whereas Dominar is more linear - is it so? 9. Does Dominar have ride by wire as well? 10. I like technology heavy things! 11. I think both bikes are equal value for money so cost is not a problem(although there are huge waiting times for the Duke) - but it is ok! 12. Which one has less vibrations? I am riding a Stunner CBF right now which vibrates like hell and I don't want that in my new bike

[@coolpras26]

Just a small question - If we take the bike for small minor things like air filter clean up or chain clean up + lube or chain tightening or clutch cable adjusting type of minor things, why would you have to pay a 'nominal charge'? It should be free since the bike is in warranty right? Or else what's the point of warranty? Just wanted to clear this out.

[@KrazyKanucker]

2021 manual says RON 95. Thanks for the vid, very helpful.

[@ojasvi23sweden]

Zero Haters...Mast Video Hai Bhai...Kafi Kuch Bataya Hai Duke 390 bare me...👍👍👍💯✌️

[@DinosVault]

Tech Awaz thanks Bhai😃😃

[@Ajx1314]

I was waiting for this vedio sir..really informative ..thank you sir👍

[@shanesadan3597]

Mr Kiran is the KTM service genius for sure......thank you Dino Sir for the video about KTM Kompally :-)

[@gopuallath7477]

was waiting for this one really long...

[@DinosVault]

thanks for patiently waiting buddy

[@mohammedirfan2487]

awesome Dino bhai really enjoyed the technical detail provided for the service info. Mohammed Irfan

[@abdulm_7]

i too bought the bike from Kompally 3 days back had the same issues as u. thanks for the video!

[@JohnDoe-ut6dl]

Awesome as always Dino

[@DinosVault]

thank you so much :D

[@anujagarwal6631]

sir your style of walking 🚶 is way level above than most of our superstars😍😍😍😍

[@lunarsolis8109]

Thank you for the video. I just bought a new 2019 duke 390 and it is leaking coolant on the frame. Do you recommend mods like a cat delete and exhaust without a powertronics ecu?

[@mohamedyashar2402]

One of the best review video of 390 😘😘

[@joeyg7188]

Why bark busters on a road bike? How much to switch from orange color scheme to white since it would just be fender and tank plastic? Is the new 2017 ok for someone 5' 11" 165 lbs? Looks like a very small bike. is the 2017 690 the same frame size as the 2017 390?

[@17asif]

hi Dino, is new Duke 390 the right choice for long tours all over India or mojo would be better. seriously confused between the two.

[@jens3945]

How is the bike now? I've been considering buying this bike, but I'm worried about how it's going to perform long-term.

[@saravananv850]

Hi Dino, I have some query regarding my duke 390. in bright sunlight, do the low beam is in off states or it will always on ?. but the low beam is automatically on when it is in low light condition

[@AkshatDevaraj]

Hey Dino, do you experience vibrations in the foot pegs at 3500rpm? And due to that does your headlight assembly give this buzzing sound at that rpm?

[@farmansd3574]

good .. review bro .. how is pillion comfort ??? it's good for couples??

[@siddhanthrao5021]

You're such an inspiration!✌🏻😇

[@DinosVault]

Siddhanth Rao thank you so much, you guys make me who I am today

[@sumanthb.s.5526]

That's a lot of maintenance headache. I will maintain my Z250 like a common man.

[@jayanthkumar7964]

Most of these apply to all the bikes.

[@tirupatidinesh559]

riding jacket is cool which brand is this??

[@zelo533]

I just change oil on my drz 400 40k miles 😂 this ktm doesn't stand a chance to last 40k miles without any major interference with the engine

[@taknevydder]

Thanks bro! I worried that I'm the only one with the chain sound problem!

[@aniketparab101286]

real n honest + informative video bro. thnx 4 all ur inputs

[@hailingstar]

Thanks for uploading the videos. Its really helpful. I have just purchased the new duke 390, and today while riding it went on low fuel for maybe 3-4kms, and i got it refueled. But since then for some reason the fuel light is moving between being on and off. Have you faced this issue at all?

[@DSC00155]

@Dino's Vault which software version did to upgrade to, in order to fix the date reset issue? Thanks

[@rohankhanna9473]

Hello Dino can you tell something about vibrations in the bike?? At lower gears/rpm and higher speeds/rpm??

[@RohitSubramanian]

Dino Bhai, I have booked the 390. Will get delivered on 2 week of June. Can you please suggest a starter riding gear on a budget?

[@Nitro_Zeus13]

Hi I am really confused between this and RC390 which should I be going for?? I love the technology in the new duke and the sports in RC can you please help me out.. Thanking You..

[@bhanusharma9314]

Hi Dino, i purchased this bike some 3 weeks before. I know not a right time to buy because of rains all around. But i want to know from you something. My bike riding experience has been very jerky so far. I know Mumbai roads, traffic is slow and bike is powerful, but just want to know your experience. Also along with front DRLs, does the tail light also comes up and the battery shows 14.4 when the bike is running. is that normal? Thanks

[@harimahadevan23]

i don't know if you've already commented on this question to someone else, but i liked your gloves. please let me know the name, where you bought it and the price. a nice and informative video for the potential customers...keep it going..!

[@rajeshnagenthiran995]

Sir what's yours top speed... Overall all bikes... Which is Ur favourite bike....

[@vinayakswami8309]

Hey Mr.Dino i am opting for this bike previously i had an 200ns and i am thinking to go for the 390 but with all its malfunctiong buzzing in the media should i go for this bike and i was planning to put an aftermarket exhaust on it so that i could get more bass out of it so could pls suggest me

[@utkarshsingh8638]

Hi, Dino there is one query, I bought rc 390 one month back and on some long rides while struggling in traffic console shows a warning of "High Coolant Temperature". Just wanted to know what to do and what to not do in such cases. Also like to inform u that i already completed 3k kms with her and completed the 1st service at 960km.

[@chiranjeevbakshi8460]

Sir what do you think about cb300r vs duke 390... in reliability wise... I've heard from lots of people that KTM are not that reliable as compared to Honda's.. I mean yeah Honda is reliable but how much reliable the KTM is if one is looking for 5-7 yrs of use.

[@nishanthkanala]

Hey , Good vidoe! I was looking at this video to see if someone has encountered bluetooth connectivity issues past the v39 software update. After the update my phone is not able to connect and receive calls or do anything. Its pairing up but not connecting. Pls help if anybody else has faced this issue.

[@kashyapsushil5]

You mentioned about not doing sudden revving. Is it only for first 1k kms or always ?

[@aruns5750]

DINO'S VAULT- DARE TO BE DIFFERENT FROM OTHER VLOGGERS..acid attack... shawarma.... ha ha :P I always watch ur videos for knowledge plus funny english phrases .super nice video..Please keep uploading more..

[@DinosVault]

Arun S thank you so much buddy

[@cooldevansh1]

Hey Dino, please make a video on how to prevent bike theft. What things should we keep in mind and suggest some anti theft devices.

[@oporider3009]

Hey buddy, I got a 125 new 2017 ktm duke, and date and time keep reseting, also I had some wierd color showing up on the display when reaching Hi-revs in night mode. did you had the same and the software update solved it? what is your software version?

[@concujak]

regarding the heat cooking your feet like a shawarma, any solution to it ? I seen some guys on youtube install a dual fan? I wear sandals all the time and dont want my feet to cook....

[@antonythomaspurackal2892]

just want to know how the suspension is good or bad and also what about the engine heating issues

[@manishjha3990]

Hey Dino! Firstly, a heartiest congratulations on reaching 100k subscribers. Pretty well deserved!!. Secondly, I am facing a lot of heat issues with my Duke. I got it checked several times at the service center and got coolant refilled. Got to know that it is a common issue among KTMs. I seriously doubt that but don't have any proof to back me up. By heating I mean that engine overheating warning in the dash. At one time, the Duke got stalled on the highway after blinking warning for some time. Had to wait to cool it down. Could you please help me with some information on this? I would really appreciate it. Ride safe..

[@m.rraghav817]

do you think it's a sensible upgrade from a CBR 250r?

[@viratdewan959]

Sir have you figured out how can we connect our smartphones to bike and intercom/bt headset simultaneously and use controls on the bike to pick up the call and the audio comes in the headset/intercom directly. I'm a d390 owner and I don't see a use of bluetooth on our bikes if this thing is not possible🙄.

[@ashrith602]

hello sir! I met you at the shawarma place in sainikpuri. and we spoke about the heating issues of my ktm rc390 idk if you remember it. so, there's one more issue I wanted to get to your notice. the front disk makes sound while running. and it increases while braking. is it a problem?

[@saswatmishra2759]

Do such a ownership experience video on your Yamaha R3.

[@hemanths5447]

Sir,I'm gonna buy a bike,I'm confused whether I should buy Duke 390 or rc390 Which one is better according to you

[@akshsalanke3794]

Hi..! The milage that u have got(25+).…! How much was the RPM that u we're Revving....?

[@niroopreddy6910]

can i know where can did u get that orange gear and Armour that matches the beasts color. provide online link if any

[@krishnan9544]

I didn't get an User manual from KTM (hardcopy), the showroom guy told me to download KTM app from Online Store and use the same. But unfortunately that also is not working.App is having some issues :( Dino Sir, do you have an online copy of the manual ?

[@sarahdell4042]

Here in the states we've had a lot of issues with these. I would love to own the refreshed 390 duke, but the reliability keeps me far away. These light little bikes have to be an absolute blast to toss around though!

[@karanpanchal115]

Sir . plz guide me should i go for ktm 390 or dominor for long ride. my usual route is mumbai to jaipur.

[@arivarasur2487]

Bro I am using Axor a026 model helmet and wind noise is creeping inside the helmet even at 60kmph... Any suggestion to reduce wind noise? Since I believe you are also using axor helmet I thought you might answer my quesion...

[@robot25530]

Thank you dino Bhai for video . Abhi duke 390 leneke time 100 time sohenge ki Lena hai ya nahi , bike ittna pareshan kar to Kya Matlab. Bike Road pe kam or service centre me Jada dikhegi ..

[@tusharkadu8026]

Dino's Vault I'm from chembur east bro mumbai

[@chinmayagadi9762]

Awesome very useful keep up the good work Man

[@lakinang109]

I have always have my right leg rest upon the brake lever, and i always feel like i press the brake while riding and sometimes its feel very uncomfortable, and if i don't put my leg in the brake its feel very awkward so any recommendation oh how i should rest my right leg in the brake lever?

[@isabellah1927]

Put the balls of your feet on the pegs, not the brake lever. It's awkward at first but you'll have more control and you won't panic brake in an emergency (which could cause an accident in a situation that's easily avoidable). I got my advice from a superbike racer and damn, it helped my riding greatly:)

[@lakinang109]

thanks :) . I'll give it a try.

[@nishantpratapsingh6628]

can you show in a video how to clean air radiator.. I am going to buy this bike(also upgrading to this segment) in near future but don't know about air radiator. Secondly, is there any way to make both indicators work simultaneously(hazards lights) because you said not to go to local persons to make any electrical adjustments.

[@DinosVault]

Nishant Pratap Singh get the hazard lights thing done post the warranty because altering company wiring will render the warranty void. that can be done easily by adding a control switch on the dash.

[@saleemathani477]

By seeing your review of Hyundai Tuscon I booked it is a great review thank you

[@nitishnitish4245]

my 2017 duke 390 chain is getting loose frequently sir .... do have any idea what I can do ?? ( I have been tightening it 3 times for the first 700km I drove )

[@justvish]

Awesome Informative review... You have superb understate sense of humour. Feet "roasted in Shawarma grill" 😂😂 1 Question - Is this bike good for motovlogging considering the radiator fan is very noisy. Will that noise creep into the motovlog audio ... Eagerly looking forward for your views.

[@jyothisjoy7263]

Dino Bhai..have you ever faced ECU/HLU failure?? Please provide us the instructions to avoid frequent ECU failure,which is a major problem for most of the 2017 duke 390 owners.

[@manojvenkatnarayana2208]

What was the final cost of bike (on road, accessories, etc..,)

[@suyashnagar9689]

Loved the video and the information too

[@spreadingreen3069]

There was a group of gixxer guys behind you can I get to know how to set that flashing turn indicators without messing with the wiring on bike,,

[@atiqurrahman8765]

Sir, can you help me on how to adjust the throttle of 2017 KTM Duke 390 ?? It's too loud.. & I have already done my 1st servicing but still their is a sound in the radiator and also it gets too hot ... Please HELPPP !!!!!

[@saravanaraaja7402]

how much will cost for disk pad, coolant liquid, and for oil etc...

[@yathoshkumar5374]

Hi Brother.. Hope you are fine... I'm a regular viewer of your channel.. Thanks for all the updates and informations about two wheelers... can u please tell me when our government is mandating abs for two wheelers.. since I read the news that it will come into effect from March 2018 onwards for new two wheelers.. can u please confirm me on this ??

[@kiranmallika1]

Dino, howz the heating issue ? can you ride in bumper to bumper traffic ?

[@DinosVault]

i mentioned that in the video bro, you'll feel the heat on your feet, that too only if you're wearing sandals or chappals, you don't feel anything if you're wearing shoes.

[@siddharthdandin9912]

what jacket are you wearing? looks damn good with the bike!

[@vishalkhatri6723]

Dino Sir great video, I am also planning to buy a bike for touring and commuting. recently i went on a small tour from Ahmedabad to Mount Abu!!( its a hill station, which has got one the most dangerous and fun filled, adrenaline upping twists and turns) On my uncle's RE Classic 500............................... And it was awesome but thhe bike wasn't as you know rider friendly and heav and it would just scratch while kneeling bit in turns so i want my own Bike now confused between FZ25 and Dominar, or a duke! i want a fuss free ride with good mileage and enough power to easily cruise on highways and low maintainance... Thanks! Keep uploading such wonderful videos.

[@raaghavignesh8396]

Hey bro .....low oil light glows while moving in heavy traffic and goes off when the engine is revved...pls let me know if this is normal cuz svc centre guys say it's a expected behaviour

[@cibincbz]

hi sir my new duke 390 is not connecting to android. a video i saw told its due to new upgrade from version 38 to 39. can you share any info on that

[@akshayveralkar4611]

Dino after completing the run in period do a small tour in your city with a motive of spreading safety awareness in your meet up. I am sure at least 50% of the people will be riding or driving with more safety as most of the people aren't aware of how to ride safely. Just think how many life you will save and blessing you will get from all of them.
