Hi sifus, getting my first bike it's a 2nd hand ktm duke 390 (2015), mileage 18k.. one thing I'm not sure is.. how do I know when to do valve clearance? Where to do it? Really noob on these service things. Sifus otai please tolong this newbie

how much? if look not a problem for u, then try google modenas dominar 400, same engine with duke 390

vc is done according to the manufacturers recommendation, it is stated in the owners manual. if can get a copy online.

do a valve clearance as mention in the manual.

I did research on that prior buying but it seems abit big for newbie like me

Thank you boss!

WC,

i checked, VC for duke390 once 1k, every 15k KM,


very hot bike.. pencuri suka...

Omg I just download it is 15k km and 1k.. and the seller told me too low mileage to do..

Haizzz now have to deal with pencuri also

sure want to get a CKD Duke.. second hand summore?

If you can diversify your option to other brand and model.. please kindly do so..

=( already paid downpayment, is it famous for problems?

every bikes has it quirks....its just KTM has a lot of them...
1. leaking front forks
2. Burnt coil
3. broken water pump seal
4. water get into meter cluster
just to name a few... and coz the part is hard to find and expensive to boot...the bike itself became a thief magnet for spare parts....

Aiks.. anyway I can safe guard the bike better from stealing? Should have gone with dominar 400

park in your living room wit locks/chains.

dominar handling wont be like a duke bro.

u go test ride you will noe...

ktm will make sure the dominar wont be like duke..

A good padlock at the sprocket, damn susah to potong wan most thief they see will just look elsewhere unless they come with a lorry and angkut lol

i never done any valve clearance to my duke 250. Now 40k mileage. Never really worry about security unless you park at unsafe area.

my brother own 2014 ktm duke 200.

lists he had done for the bike:
1. o2 sensor/lambda sensor kaput
2. electronic haywire... dunnue whats wrong but it was sorted out by the workshop
3. LCD meter went kaput. bought a new one
4. leaking forks
5. change the foot gear 2 times now. the shaft connected to the transmission somehow went limb and it was hard to change gears

after spending quite sum of money, it still ride and he still use it to go to work. i wont say its a bad thing but sometimes shit happens and u end up spending alot. surprisingly the engine still running good and pretty much decent.
all those i mention off was in the range of the time he got his bike (brand new one) till now.

worth it or not its up to u lah to weigh down the pro and cons
