KTM Duke 640

[Jayy]

Looking at getting one of these in the next couple of weeks. Anyone on here own / owned one or similar?

What they like for reliability?
Any known problems to look out for?

Got a 640 Duke. Not had it long enough to comment on reliability but from what I read and see they are well made and simple enough to maintain. Stick to the oil and filter change schedule and check the valve clearances. Changing oil needs to be done n a certain way to bleed the oil the frame or you end up with no oil getting to the cam, easy enough though. Keep an eye on the oil level, mine uses a bit but dont overfill it or it ends up in the airbox via the breather. There's loads of info on the UK KTM forum and also an American site called Supermoto Junkie.
Which model is it cos some of the enduro derived supermoto's have shorter service intervals.
For me the standard suspension settings were too soft but the WP suspension is quality when set up right.
It needs to be ridden from the back wheel rather than on the front like a sports bike, but when you get it right you can really embarass the plastic rocket unused knee slider brigade.
Hope this helps and you enjoy the bike.

Very helpful thanks

Seem to be pretty hard to find as well, not many for sale in the local area which means I may have to go further afield to get one but I really want one of these bikes, they look like so much fun.
