Can you lower a KTM Duke 390?

If you have money, anything is possible. I assume you’ve sat on a 390 to come up with the distance you need it lowered. The easiest tricks are to raise the fork tubes in the triple clamps as much as the handlebars will allow and drop the shock to its lowest preload so your weight causes it to settle more.

Can we reduce seat height of Duke 390?

@ Vamsy | Thanks for quick answer. Very much appreciated. So If I understood correctly it is not advisable to reduce seat height using preload adjustment and there is no otherway that we can reduce the seat height correct??

Is MT-03 worth buying?

Overall, the MT-03 is a great naked machine, for all riders. Just as Yamaha has promised, it’s a great entry into the MT naked lineup that provides enough performance to entertain riders with more experience. Don’t think of it as an R3 without a fairing. Its less makes it much more—more or less.

Which is better Yamaha MT 03 or KTM 390 Duke?

Which is better the Duke or the MT-03?

The Duke, on the other hand, is the happiest when kept in its powerband. Anything below 45kmph in sixth gear and the bike starts throwing a fit. Overall, the MT-03 is longer, taller but narrower compared to the 390 Duke.

What’s the difference between a Yamaha Duke and a Yamaha R3?

To put things into perspective, the R3 puttered around at 30kmph in sixth gear without ever stalling. These characteristics are likely to be found on the MT-03 as well since Yamaha has not tweaked the motor in any manner whatsoever. The Duke, on the other hand, is the happiest when kept in its powerband.

Which is better YZF-R3 or 390 Duke?

What works in favour of the 390 Duke is the abundance of torque that the single-cylinder mill is able to churn out. While we haven’t ridden the MT-03 yet, we have sampled its faired sibling, the YZF-R3, which is powered by the same motor.
