KTM Duke 390 Scrambler Build: BMW G310 GS Suspension And Insane Ground Clearance
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The KTM Duke 390 has always been a hoot - especially the untamed, raw Generation 1. No wonder, the owner of this bike did not want to part ways with it and get the KTM 390 Adventure, a very capable bike in its own right, but a little soft (throttle response, engine character) than the original Duke 390.
But the owner did want to travel distance and tackle a bit of light off-roading with his bike - dirt roads, gravel roads etc.
The stock Duke 390 with its limited suspension travel and ground clearance is not the most ideal bike for such roads.
So, what did he do? He went to Speedmonks Performance Centre in Gurgaon, where they installed a pair of BMW G310 GS front forks with altered fork oil level (stock BMW forks are just too soft), a rear suspension tuned by Zedling Suspension for the riding style, conditions and weight of the rider, among a lot more things.
Watch this video to find out what other subtle changes have been made to this motorcycle.
If you'd like to get such modifications done to your motorcycle, you can contact Atul Singh, the Technical Head at Speedmonks Performance Centre, at +91 9811517624
You can also visit Speedmonks in Gurgaon for servicing your superbike or to buy any performance parts for it.

Thank you for giving me your time. I hope you have a great day.
Cheers

Really cool build!
This looks amazing sir 🤩

BS3 390 Duke was quicker to accelerate, lighter and had a fun, crazy character. I wish I had bought that instead of a BS4 model.
Great to hear English video good job mate.
Beautiful work bro 👍👍
Finally Video At Speed Monk's !!!
Amazing setup, i was just waiting for the exhaust sound, exactly what I was about to do on my husky. Old headers decat with stock exhaust

Abhinav, I also own a 390 since 2015, I have noticed - lot of my friends tried changing 390 profile (suspension, tyres, rims) they have faced serious power-loss. This bike already factory tuned for max output. We have noticed, if you make any change in suspension, its center of gravity get's changed and there is sudden drop in power (in rear wheel). Also if you add extra weight or if you change exhaust you will notice power drop. ThiS bike performs best when its stock, i have parked my 390 in my home-town (Dehradun), i take it for a spin in vacations :) its a stock unit, i use it like a supermoto 😁
Nice build.
A dream build
Similar kinds of mods I have done in my FZS. I am using it for the past 3 years. I have added Racing Master Cylinder, Pro-Taper Handle and Riser, Round Head Light, Quick Throttle, Adv Footpegs, free-flow exhaust to name a few added products. Now I am planning for USD forks, I am in search if I get a better deal.

Nice 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 duke looks cool
Awesome... I'm too modding my Svartpilen into a Supermoto/Urban Scrambler... Used Adv 390 forks at the front (euro spec) and a custom rear shock... I also rerouted the exhaust to gain ground clearance. At first I used the same decat, but being a BS6, it was loosing a lot of power... Even my Powertronics ECU was not able to compensate it 😭 So had to put in a Duke 250 BS4 chamber...

Great video as your usual way Mr. Abhinav 👍, we are thinking about building a scarmbler from a 2 Stroke Kawasaki KB chassis...
Updates on your R15 build please.... it's been a long time.
Nice
Woow.... love it 👍👍👍👍👍
Could you please do a project for KTM duke 250/390 bs6 ground clearance issues, it sucks. Can we install bs4 exhaust system on bs6?
Was able to see some smoke when Atul started the bike
Hello abhinav… m in delhi and whenever i see any motorcycle on road bhai tumhari yaad aa jati hai bhai😅 will love to meet you if possible specially for your modded interceptor.
Waiting for Abhinav's sound when he saw the 🦎. Without the DB killer, obviously. P.s. Lovely KTM!!
Hey Abhinav can you update us on your r15 build 😃

Please do ride review also
Do you guys have any garage outlet in hyderabad ?
Thanks for sharing this video, Abhinav. I have a few comments and questions, if you don't mind. 1. Do the guys at Speedmonks also do the more common mod wherein the front shocks from the Himalayan/Xpulse are transplanted on to the Duke? 2. The GS front fork - Are the stock Duke's front wheel and disc a direct drop in fit into that fork? Did they need to add a spacer between the hub and disc like is required when using the stock wheel in an Xpulse fork? (A friend had that mod but he has a wire wheel up front now.) 3. The Adventure swingarm is not absolutely necessary, though it does provide some extra clearance. On my 200 Duke, I have used two 130/80-17 tyres (390 Adv stock size) one of which was with a brand new rear wheel and chain set. The tyre did scrape the swingarm at the centre for about 20 km but not after that. Negligible loss of tread. I was, however, using the stock 200's front sprocket with a 390's X-ring chain and 250 Duke's rear sprocket. So the chain was 112 links instead of 110 and the rear sprocket was 46T instead of 42T. 4. Did you know that the 390 Adv foot pegs fit perfectly horizontally in the BS3 Duke's stock holder assemblies? Lucky me! 5. What must be the approx. labour charge for this work? I want to put the Xpulse stock shocks in my 200 Duke's stock yokes (using fabricated bushes to fill the difference in diameter) to keep cost low. Sorry for the numerous questions. I will appreciate any inputs on them. Thanks.

Please upgrade the dual disk braking telescopic suspension system of Ninja 650 or something like that in your R.E. Interceptor 650..
The exhaust has been changed to the newer model? Coz 1st &2nd gen dukes came with an under belly exhaust.

Try getting the front fork of the 390/250 Adventure. Your bike likely has a 320 mm disc so the transplant should be easier. Do not change the triple clamps (tee) and just get the front shock absorbers. 21k for the pair. Rest will be labour. This will be an experiment, though. I want to try this on my 200 Duke but I don't have the funds since I will need to change the front wheel and disc too.
Our Interceptor 650 detail modification video love from bilaspur chhattisgarh
This is a dope setup, however BS3 engine tends to overheat a lot and on slow speeds the engine feels very stressed. Not sure how good of a offroader this will be.

Hi Abhinav. just a small correction. you probably said it by mistake. it's not even an issue. still, the exhaust isn't the stock original one. the first gen 390 had an underbelly. this one came with the facelifted model. still, i love what they're done to the motorcycle. really tempting
