Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the 125 and 390 are assembled/manfuctured in India whilst the 690 up is Austria? I've heard the 125's are shoddy, didn't realise it affected the 390's too Confused makes sense though

When you block people you only get half the conversation Wink

The Duke 125 hilarity-fail thread had an Indian resident claiming that the 200s are made to higher standards than the 390s.

I mention this an something that's interesting rather than informative. It's a nation that keeps buying Royal Enfields, after all.

Someone also claimed the 390's went through Austria (after being manufactured in India), so were somehow of a higher standard Confused All 3 are AFAIK based on the same bike and made in the same place, so any distinction's going to be a dwarf among midgets scenario.

Interesting point. KTM aren't quite Suzuki though, they're not punting a huge amount of 3+ year old models as "new" stock.

That said, in 2016 they registered (not necessarily the same as sold) 218 x 2016 models vs 92 x 2015 models vs 11 x 2014 models.

I had the bike for just over 4 months by the point the shock was like that. The motorbike was stored in a "heated garage" so the manufacture time is irrelevant as the bike was stored in there until I owed it. Also, the miles I put on this bike were on the road. The only off roading I did was going across the public path to get to my drive Laughing.

Why don't you want to tell us the age of the bike now?

I'm guessing it's a lot older than 4 months. Edit, your thread shows July last year. This has been dragging on a bit hasn't it?

To be fair, your original thread mentions the stalling issue withing a couple of weeks or purchase, so could also be used to backup your claim . Thumbs Up


Yes, it has been dragging on a bit! Thumbs Down I am hoping this time next month I will finally have a different bike on the drive and can forget about all of this. Thumbs Up

Yeah, I did put it in the original thread I created, I should have posted the link earlier in this thread. It's a shame the way things have turned out since then as I really did love the bike (as sad as that sounds).

Thankfully the Financial Ombudsman have checked all my evidence and it has been enough for them to know that what I have said is the truth. Thumbs Up

Old Thread Alert!

The last post was made 7 years, 34 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful?
