Gandhar Sawant Rosso IIs are better than M5s but M7RR which are also available for those sizes are much, much better than both Rosso II and M5 ;) Pirelli owns Metzeler by the way.

Owner of slipper clutch version and watching this video again in 2019 just love the reviews of these old dukes. Tbh, I've grown old with this machine and couldn't imagine my life without this little monster. This machine always made me smile through thick and thin and it has the character to take out the children within you in a flick of your wrist, trust me its an honest confession after an ownership of 4yrs. Anyone who's reading this if you wish buy one they're cheap at secondhand market and preserve her she deserves all the pampering and you'll ever regret. The decision of buying one is what I'll always cherish and thanks to powerdrift for this review it did help. Thanks Sarge the pdarmy misses you. P.s: do read the pros and cons before buying one. If you can accept her for the way she is, she will serve you well.

@kshitijsharma26 look for white smoke and check for any cracks at the air filter box. If thrs any crack, it'll start throwing white smoke sooner or later. This means a block/piston replacement. Check for the history if any air filter box replacement is done or block/piston is replaced. No white smoke or airfilter block piston replacement done thn go ahead and also if you have no issues with the engine being worked on you can still buy one and enjoy her as it is. Always keep an eye on the airfilter box crack.

+Sagar Sheldekar - I am planning to upgrade to a ktm rc390 next year. And with speculations of slipper clutch being added to the package, it makes the deal a lot more sweeter. Just wanted to ask how bad is the engine vibration on the rc390? Does it really get to you or is it ignorable once the 'run in' period is over. And the radiator heat. The new Duke seems to have made some adjustments. Is there a chance of seeing the same through the rc fairing? I will mostly be using the bike for super short alternate day city commutes and weekend getaways. Your input on this will be highly appreciated. Thanks and keep up the good work.

Now coming to this Video i was watching this along with ma frns & there seems to be a bigger rant among us as to how the slipper clutch works, some argue that while shifting gears we need not use the clutch, some say that the downshifts are more smoother but one still need to use the clutch, some say the upshifts can be done without pulling the clutch lever, so experts could you please help us get this confusion cleared of our heads??? its ok if i am sounding dumb to all but i would love to clear ma head.. :)

@powerdriftofficial8 жыл бұрын
+Chandan Ghosh Yes, it does face heating issues, lags at lower RPM's because of its gearing! Battery issues is something that we did not face during our test run! The 2015 is a much better version now. Expect the 2016 version to knock off these issues!

Dear Powerdrift, Seeing your videos on duke390 I just thought it was a nice vehicle with a lot of bluff and praise. I just bought the bike this day(black color),and I realised that it's not just a nice vehicle,but a rocket!!Man it's an awesome bike and im happy. After all I made the best decision in my life and I'm so damn happy😀. thanks guys

I am a invested follower of Power Drift....Really like this video review for slipper clutch...... I have a question on my older 2014 Duke 390.... is it possible to install the slipper clutch as an upgrade on the older duke ??? If yes, should i contact the servicing guys at KTM for this one.... Any pointers are appreciated... Thanks ...

Proud to be 2015 Duke 390 (black) owner, this bike is such a beast. This one doesn't heats that much than the old one. I did feel the brake lack bite but kinda getting use to it. It feels awesome to own a motorcycle like this. Black looks way more better than the usual white.

As always you guys are awesome. But I have a suggestion for you guys, At the time of reviewing please don't concentrate only on corners but also hit bikes on bad roads and straight roads so that we can know how it withstands with windblasts and unstteled roads.so we can know about its practicality. I know it will take more time but will be very helpful. Thanks.

does the slipper clutch has any effect on the engine braking?
@powerdriftofficial9 жыл бұрын
Yes and No. If you engine break right, you won't make the wheels hop and so there will not be an impact. But.. If you are simply downshifting and being Genghis Khan on those clutch plates and sprockets, then yes it will let the clutch slip and ease you into the engine braking range

I intend to buy the KTM Duke 390 version 2015 the thing I wanted to know was that the older model of the Duke 390 had some heating issues and also people used to say that your thighs get roasted when you ride the bike in shorts. The new model by KTM claims that the radiator fans have been designed in such a way that the heat from the engine is thrown to the ground instead of the rider. As you'll have had an opportunity to ride on the new model of the Duke 390 I wanted to know how are the heating issues with the bike and does One's thighs still fry with the NEW Duke 390 . Please let me know ... thnx
