Hi guys.
2020 390 Duke.
64 yrs old returning to riding. Previous bikes all 1000cc. Riddled with arthritis now but happy that I can still ride this amazing little bike.Short distances only.
Just had the 390 Duke in for first service.
KTM Dealer that I bought the from did the service.
1. They put a semi synthetic in (Silkolene 10/40). And they overfilled it. I have just replaced it with Motul 7100 Full Synthetic.
2. They didn't take the belly guard off to drain the oil. They dropped it into the guard and let it run out. That has now been cleaned up.
3. Bike started up a lot quieter after the oil change. Smoother. Will try it out tomorrow to see the difference with gear changes.
Needless to say I will be looking for another dealer to do any work while under warranty.
Anyone had dealer problems like this?
Thanks
