KTM has requested owners of the 2017-18 KTM 390 Duke to visit their nearest dealerships for a ‘Monsoon Kit’ fitment as part of a silent recall. The Austrian bike manufacturer says it will replace certain faulty components which will rectify the various issues reported by owners of the second-gen 390 Duke, which was launched in 2017.
The ‘Monsoon Kit’ will include the installation of a new ECU bracket which will protect it from water, dust and other elements. Additionally, the redesigned pillion seat brackets will replace the existing ones, which in turn will increase the gap between the seat and tail light. The older setup led to the cracking of the tail light when a heavy pillion was onboard. Other major issues reported by customers like headlight vibrations and LED’s malfunctioning randomly will also be rectified under the recall.
Even though the KTM 390 Duke has impressed everyone with its features and performance figures at an affordable price point, it has faced a number of quality issues over time. Over the last few months, KTM has rolled out a number of fixes and updates to resolve these issues, one of which even included completely redesigning the radiator for better heat management.
Powering the KTM 390 Duke is a 373cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine that produces 44PS of power at 9000rpm and 37Nm of torque at 7000rpm. A 6-speed gearbox transfers power to the rear wheel via chain drive.
Over the years, the KTM 390 Duke has been a tremendous success for the bike manufacturer. The naked streetfighter received a major overhaul in 2017 and the latest iteration received several new features like an LED headlamp, a TFT instrument cluster, multiple ABS modes, a new instrument cluster and ride-by-wire technology.

I choosed duke 390 because of its raw power and it's stylish, look and it has good features at this price point. And it looks way better than other bikes and back in 2021.There was no such bike as this so I chose this bike This bike goes crazy. It has crazy power and the suspension on it also is a stiff you can adjust it so it's good and the breaking on the bike is very good till now I love it. and the quick shifter also is really very good. I would recommend this bike to every guy who wants raw power and good features at this price point because ktm is really very good bike but if you're a beginner, then I think you should get a duke250 cause. This bike goes crazy you can crash . .But it's in your hands if you can handle it or no.
