Review of FuelX Lite on Duke 390 BS3 with Benefits/Advantages | Installed FuelX lite on Duke 390

[@interstellarguy]

Got the FuelX Lite for my BS4 390 after your recommendation. I am really pleased with its performance. The bike can be rode like a 200CC bike under 50kmph now. Before the mod, it was so annoying to ride this bike slowly. The engine feels are so much smoother and crispier. The clutchless upshifts are also so smooth in lower RPM. Engine is also running cooler. Changes in FE. I used to get 35-40 kmpl if I rode under 4000 RPM before the mod but the bike felt so sluggish and hot and I never used to run like that, did that once to compare before and after FE diff. Now the bike rides smoothly under 4000RPM but the FE understandably reduced to 30-35 kmpl. Under normal riding conditions, I noticed that there is a tiny bit of improvement in the FE, mostly due to lesses gear shifts. This is how the bike should have been from the factory. I would recommend this to anyone with a 390 especially if you ride in city.

[@FernmeisterTV]

Glad you found my video helpful and also glad that u took a good decision buying it for ur bike, sure does make a difference to the bike.

[@WolfyMarcus]

How the heck were you getting 35-40kmpl on 390

[@FernmeisterTV]

@sathvikpurushotham for me also it shows 30 to 35kmpl on speedo, but in reality it gives 22.5 to 24. So must be the same thing for him

[@WolfyMarcus]

@@FernmeisterTV oh okay I’ve never seen it go above 28-29kmpl on my speedo in bs6 250. So was very shocked when I read that 😂

[@FernmeisterTV]

That means ur bike is showing u a more accurate mileage on speedo as compared to reality. for me it's basically a joke😂, shows 30 to 33 and gives 22 to 23 reality.

I installed the Fuel X lite on my stock 2014 Duke 390 in December 2022 and man I love the bike now. It's my daily machine and I take it to work everyday which involves 40kms of riding each day including both highway and city roads. The power band is soo usable now and the bike feels a lot smoother in the low rpms the jerkiness is a lot less now and the heat too is very manageable now. I would feel really irritated from the heat before and now that's not the case. The bike can handle low speeds at high gears very well without any knocking and the jerky nature of the 390 which is uncomfortable in traffic is almost eliminated. Like you said I did feel the bike now pulls a lot better post 3k rpm. Over all it's worth investing in the Fuel X lite if you own a BS3 Duke 390 By the way man love that exhaust setup and how the bike looks!! I'm thinking about getting a BS4 exhaust setup for my bike soon. I even have the NS 200 ABS front disk installed on my bike which has a noticeable improvement in braking. Another mod that makes a difference is installing the BS6 Dominar 400 mono shock which I've done on my bike. By the way can you please share the link for that graphics decal kit??

[@FernmeisterTV]

Yeah, fuelX lite is pretty good and totally worth it, if your thinking about the exhaust setup, it's one of the best sounds you'll hear on a single cylinder with very good bass depending on the muffler you install, and if you have a DB killer the bike sounds like a stock BS4 390 incase you have trouble with cops around your location. Thanks bro, Graphics kit I got from abroad through my relative though. Also to improve braking get the Versah Cermaic Brake pads, huge difference in braking performance I've felt after installing those bikesterglobal.com/shop/product/vesrah-ceramic-brake-pads-for-ktm-duke-250-ktm-rc-250/

[@vishucomp]

Hey Chetan Bro can you please elaborate the difference after switching the rear mono shock from the Domi 400 BS6 version... I mean is it much more comfortable or is it harder hence easier to handle during cornering on the hills and highways... Has it made handling of the bike stable at higher speed which is the negative of our old BS3 Dukes... Thanks again for the info has anyone tried the Powertronics ECU along with this FuelX lite has that made any substantial difference in the reducing the initial vibrations and city tractablity...

[@levimerari9708]

Thanks for your nicely done video. I'm going to install fuel X Lite, k&n filter, DNA lid and also cat delete, hopefully Fuel x Lite help me out

Bro does it make pops nd bangs

[@RSourav_Dey_SINCE_1998]

Fuel x lite is better than fuel x pro where fuel x pro the maps are in your hand you need to choose it intelligently then it will benifits where the fuel x lite 1 map completely autotune by own thats the besy point

[@amiresfandiari2470]

no man fuel x lite do auto tune to 13.6 air fuel ratio in close loop ,,,, fuel x pro you have 10 maps from map 1-14.6 up to 10-12.2 and fuel x lite is the same setting off fuel x pro map 6 ,,,, and map 7 and 8 are the best for power

[@vijayam1]

Mate, how is this holding up, how has it transformed the bike? What's your top speed after fuel x install? Current status quo of the setup, your happiness quotient and how reliable it is thus far, please..

[@FernmeisterTV]

Holding up very well, currently completed total of 14000kms over a period of exactly 2 years with this exact same setup, haven't had any problems as of now, no smoke, no oil leaks, no power drop, no heating issues, no coolant issues, etc. I'm very happy and the bike is currently very reliable. Stock top speed was 178-179, after exhaust it went down to 168-172 due to back pressure issue, after fuelx lite back to 178-179 top speed hitting the limiter as u must have seen in my top speed video

[@vijayam1]

@@FernmeisterTV so which one do you suggest Lite or Pro buddy?

[@FernmeisterTV]

@@vijayam1 for normal everyday use Lite is the best, pro is more for track use and u need to know exactly which map to use

[@Ankesh_00]

@@FernmeisterTV do you plan to install powetronic piggyback ECU? i am curious what will be the top speed on a bs3 390 without the rev limiter.....

[@FernmeisterTV]

@Ankesh_00 no bro, will not be installing PT Ecu anytime soon

[@Sriram-rj8hu]

Bro i got fuel x pro and i dont know where to connect the ground eyelet connector should i need to connect in the battery negative terminal or ignition coil?

[@FernmeisterTV]

I myself am not sure, there are a couple videos on KZbin, just check those and install it, or else any good mechanic will do it for u, he won't charge much also just to connect ground wire

[@om1000rr]

bro top speed after fuel x 177 and what was the top speed before installing fuel x ?

[@FernmeisterTV]

Stock top speed 178-179, after exhaust 168 to 170, after fuelx 178-179

[@aalphonse33]

Hi. Will the exhaust that u are using fit a 2013 duke 390? And how much did u pay for it? Thanks for the above video. Very helpful.

[@FernmeisterTV]

It'll fit your bike just like my setup, you'll have to search for the exhaust 2nd hand from instagram parts pages or buy new from ktm spares. 2 years ago I paid 8.5k for 2nd hand

[@aalphonse33]

Cool thanks. Is it a full exhaust or a slip on?

[@FernmeisterTV]

[@RSourav_Dey_SINCE_1998]

I early research on fuel x and found that it will help only in low rpm low torque problem Will a 13t sprocket will did the job same?

[@FernmeisterTV]

13t will help in low rpm torque, but the bike will still knock and jerk at low rpms, fuelx lite solves all the issues

[@mr_man_on_wheelz]

Very Useful Mate ❤

[@DhanuUnni]

Brother , when u fitted 15 T sprocket in your 200ns , were u able to fit back the black plastic type cover which covers the front sprocket

[@FernmeisterTV]

Yes I was able to fit it back, you can check in my NS200 video

[@mangenashiva]

Bro, I’ve just acquired the Duke 390 Gen 3. Since my usage mainly involves commuting between home and the office, with occasional long rides, and having already covered 2k kms, which setup would be more fitting: Pro or Lite?

[@FernmeisterTV]

Lite would be better for daily use as it runs on auto mode whereas pro u have to manually set the map

[@Sriram-rj8hu]

Bro after installing the fuel x lite did it resolve your top speed after installing the bs4 exhaust system?

[@FernmeisterTV]

Yes it did help, cause due to the free flow muffler the back pressure was less, so I was losing top end performance above 150kmph, but that's fixed now

[@TheGourisankar015]

Very helpful...thanks

[@interstellarguy]

Really informative.

[@abrarmazhar]

Which clutch cable are you using? Mine stock is falling a bit short due to risers and gives a clunky shift and I don't want to use cheap avenger or any RE cable due to quality issues.

[@FernmeisterTV]

I use stock ktm clutch cable

[@FernmeisterTV]

@@Ninja.9777 if you use your bike on a daily basis and rides, and if u don't use ur bike on track or for racing, plz get the lite version because lite autontunes the map according to ur riding style and mods done, whereas the pro version u need to know exactly what ur doing and what map to use when, if not, ur gonna have problems with power delivery, heating and reliability using the pro version if u don't know exactly how to use the maps
