Our photographer recently booked one. And after my 220's fuel bills have made me go bankrupt...am still waiting for the 200NS. I feel it should be the second wisest choice after the KTM.

He is finally home

(Night time photography and mobile cameras aren't the best of friends)

Only 70kms done...

Sadistically prevented myself from taking a test ride
But had to practically re-learn riding for the first 20 kms. It's that different from my ZMA.

Congratulations buddy...!!! I just saw your post...

Got my Crazy-Nomad a.k.a KTM's first service done today at Ghatkper

Oil filter changed - Rs 92 with taxes
Oil changed to Motul 7100 20W50 ---- from A.H.Helmets cost Rs 725 *2 = 1450

Just came to office after the service..

The below items will be replaced by KTM once in Stock
- Rubber below the swingarm due to which the khat khat noise comes
- Petrol round lock part will be replaced (not the lock but the area below which has 7 or 8 bolts) Falty - once removed cannot be fitted again hence replacement is required

RPM1 set to 7.5k
RPM2 set to 10k

Experience after the Service
- Gears are super smooth
- No slips
- Easy Neutral from 2nd and sometimes from 1st also
- engine noise at high RPM is reduced .....touched top speed of 110 at 8k RPM at Bandra higway (while returning from Ghatkoper)

advised by the Service stations guys .......do not touch now the rear suspension setting as of now .....can change in the next service.

ICE click man .........super like it

[L.P.]

My Quick Notices on the Fist day of Duke,

Did 171kms in total in 24 hours, In Delhi's Traffic also attended office for 8 hours.

I feel it warm near the legs after being ridden in traffic.

The FAN didnt kick even for once.

Good FE uptil now, Around 42KMPL if I am not wrong

Ultra Smooth gear shifts.

Awesome lighting.

Phenomenal braking.

I find the rear tyre washing out if I accelerate a bit till 2nd gear. I guess needs to harden the suspension.

Small perky brake and Gear shifter.

Can do stoppie or wheelie like any thing

If you need to put corrective inputs at speeds or even when you are braking, it will accept it.

A little vibration from the Chain on to the footpeg.

Definitely an Eye Magnet

Chicken strips gone on the first day itself, does nice powerslide, if you get a surface of less traction

Shit Scary for the pillion if she is not holding you

[L.P.]

Thought I said a Lot, I let some of my pics do the talking

[rahul_rn]
