My tryst with my new duke 250 2024..disappointed
So got the delivery 4 days back and et voila first issue right after I left the showroom for a fuel up.."the display showed service warning" asked the dealer and he said don't worry ride it and whenever you get time just visit the sc they will reset it..I said OK and 2 days of riding the check engine switch was on and my heart dropped..first bike , pretty costly for a 250 and already a year since launch..things should be smooth right? I contacted rhe dealer again and he said no problem ride it till the 1st service will check it then..I wasn't convinced..took the bike next day to the sc and they ran some ecu flash or updates etc and both issues were resolved..I was happy again finally ready to ride peacefully and hardly 10 kms on the odo again the check engine light got on and I was disappointed. I mean who expects a bike 120 km on the odo to show these faults right? I went to the sc today and they said some lcd ems and speed sensor issue..didn't understand much but then they flashed the ecu and the light was gone..the person took a test ride and handed the keys back to me ..and as soon I started the bike it started stalling again and again and finally refused to start..since I was right outside the showroom I went back inside and the executive started it and took a long test ride and told me to idle the bike for 10 mins in the showroom itself..I said OK and let it idle and it didn't stall..but on my ride back it did stall a few times in 1st and 2nd gear..although as of now there is no check engine light..but I'm scared..if the lights come back again the sc said I'll have to leave the bike for them to work on..man ktm really disappointed me
