I got a 2001 Duke II recently and the battery just died. I've been having to kickstart it. I've never had to replace a battery on a motorcycle before, but I'd ...
... Duke batteries are gel by default. I don't think the sizes they use are available as non-gel, at least not from the OE mfr Yuasa. Though why they're called...
... The battery pretty much just lifts out on a Duke 2 (after disconnection, obviously:), and should be labelled with a code, eg YTX9-BS. Which is the right...
The problem has become more interesting. I was in the middle of a ride when the bike would no longer start via the ignition and I had to kick it to get it...

Yah, tried full choke, never touched the throttle. But it's not really possible to do it with the lights off, is it? Damn, the 12V9-B is only $58.95 from...
... Are they permanently 'on' on US models? My GB model has a switch. Dukes do hate weak batteries, and if you have no ability to turn the lights off that will...
Yesterday i noticed an oil leak all over the bottom gasket of the cylinder, i cleaned it and took a ride to come back and check it. What i found out was a hair...
WOW! That is some impressive mileage out of that single. Is this your first major issue? Is the bike stock? ... [Non-text portions of this message have been...
Wiseco makes very high quality pistons, but they usually offer higher compression. If you can find the suitable KTM piston, I'd stick to KTM (Rotax). If you...
Thanks for the recommendation! The battery came in a couple days (free shipping). Took about 5 minutes to swap it in and the Duke fired right up. Now if it'll...
Almost 10000 km per year ....everywhere anytime with my Duke..;).I'm the first owner at taking care of him as much as possible. My Bike is stock except the...

I believe the intervals are an oil/filter change and valve check at the first 300 miles (or was it 1000?) and every 3000 miles thereafter. I believe most Duke...
So I'm curious if any of you have found some good aftermarket solutions for mounting your licensce plates. Mine's mounted behind the rear wheel on the mudflap...
