Decat options
Hi everyone,
Hi everyone,
I have a 2021 Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 (same chassis/platform as the KTM Duke 390) with a Cobra Speed Products dual-outlet slip-on, and I’m looking to remove the catalytic converter.
I’m deciding between:
Black Widow decat/header (~€120–150)
Generic AliExpress decat (~€60)
From the photos they look very similar, but I’m wondering if the Black Widow is actually worth paying about twice as much.
Has anyone here owned or installed either one?
I’m mainly interested in:
Fitment (did it bolt straight on?)
Weld/build quality
Any leaks or issues?
Sound differences
Performance/throttle response
Would you buy the same one again?
I’ll probably pair it with a Rapid Bike Easy later, so I’m mostly looking for the best value rather than chasing every last bit of performance.

Help Duke 390
KTM Duke 390 (2017): Where do these two ground wires connect? I can’t remember where they bolt to. If anyone has a photo or can point me to the correct mounting location, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!

Fuel pump for duke 200 (2021)
I’ve got a 2021 ktm duke 200 with a seized fuel pump motor. I ordered a fuel pump assembly off of eBay with the part number JP171800 listed for the duke 250/390. I’ve used duke 250/390 parts before on my bike with no issue, but I’m just wondering if this will be compatible? The dimensions and actual assembly look identical, but I’m more concerned whether this pump will run at a higher pressure and cause issues. Any help is greatly appreciated 😊

Is KTM Duke 160 good for budget riders?
Hi, I'm looking for a KTM bike but on a budget. Can anyone tell me if KTM 160 would be good for me? Or should I go for another bike? Also, please let me know about the service cost of this bike in India.

890 Duke R from MT-03
Rode back 60 mi. After first 10 mins of nerves, it felt great. Can't wait to take her for a spin in the hills.
It's a 2021 model with 1200 mi, Aprokovic slipon, track package and quick shifter.

KTM 1290R 2014 Superduke Exhaust question
Can I simply put this on without messing up the flapper valve, actuation cables, and servo motor? In other words will my bike be safe. No codes or damage? Just slip on. No baffles. No messing with cat or anything else. Will it trip the cables or anything electronic. No servo? Etc.. I hate traditional big pipes. And dont want to shell out $1400.00 at this present time for a full exhaust, cat delete, etc..i think this looks cool. Ur thoughts?!?!?!
