KTM 390 Duke [2022-2023]

I purchased the duke 390 in June 2021 but from September 2021 it has had a starting issue your service center at chinarapark kolkata changed the throttle body of the bike but after 3 months it started again. I have visited your service center several times but the issue is not resolved. Though the service people tried their best.
So, I made a complaint on 17.04.23 and the representative told me that someone will call but no one did. After that, I called 2 times there, and both times I have been told that someone would call me but that never happened.
Even I have spoken to 4-5 people.

Hello reader
if you're planning to buy KTM Duke 390 please consider reading this. I'm owning this bike for about 2 years now.
This is not any paid review, whatever am writing is just personal experience.
Firstly, buying is very much hassle-free if you're going for a cash purchase. Just remember to bargain. There is always room for price negotiation.
If you're going for EMI please check with multi banks for offers and interest percentage. And always go for a fixed rate of interest not floating. That can save you few thousand.
The second most important part is maintaining the bike.
Always try to do the servicing from an authorized service center. Not only it will extend the life of your bike, but at the same time it will be very helpful in times of any sort of emergency situation.
Don't have the miss conception that it's bajaj so the service cost will be less. Be ready to pay around 3k - 4k every time the bike goes for service. In every 10k - 12k km chain sprocket and clutch plate assembly need to be changed which roughly costs something around 9k. Do change the tires between 20k to 23k km. Mrf tyres don't last more than that.
What KTM is known for, Duke 390 absolutely stands strong over there. Fully loaded with power ' n ' specs, pick up is absolutely top-notch, till now I have managed to touch 168 km/l top end without any performance upgrade, with all stock parts. What we all want to know after buying a bike is what's the mileage of the bike. So far my bike delivers 330 kms of mileage in a full tank. But mostly, my bike is used on highways.
Try using Michelin road 5 tyres for better performance. Am using liquid moly street race mobil. Indeed it's better than Motul 7100 10w 50.
For chain clean and lube am using 66bhp products.
