Hello david, quick question for you, at 22:08 under the M, there is a black tube tucked inside the frame. Today i found my one is disconnected, is it like that or is it connecting to something? Thank you for your help 🎉
The video that i was looking for, planning to re paint my bike to metallic orange mist, my question is if you still have gas on the tank when removing will it spill gas when i disconnect it to the bike. Your ktm bike tutorial is one of the most indepth on the platform, most are fast forward and does not explain step by step process. More power yo your channel good sir and ride safe as always🧡
When I removed the tank it was full of gas. It's a basic safety feature of any bike tank that it will not spill (don't turn it upside down) - you will get a small spillage of what is inside the hoses. Of course if you paint the tank as well it will need to be empty. Thanks very much, always appreciated and good luck with the respray!
Hi, your question isn't very clear - is it leaking fuel from the vent hose or the overflow hose? Or both? Fuel from the overflow is normal if the tank is overfilled or if fuel is splashed when filling the tank.
It is possible to remove the spark plug without removing the tank if you have the right tools and small hands. But most people do it when the tank is removed as it's much easier.
Am i correct when i say 'even when there is fuel in the tank, it will not drain itself when hoses are off, because the attached fuelpump prevents leaking/draining fuel when not on '
@@MotoMirius thanx. Good to know. After my accident i have the ability to upgrade/rebuild my bike, so rapidbike, new exhaust from first bend to end, 2 wavediscs, complete decal covering, new plastics, new filters. Lot of fun work.

@@MotoMirius thanks. My only concern is the sparkplug now that everything will de opened up. I heard too many opinions, and i can't find good info to know if it's worth to replace with a better version and then which one. But,since i follow you, i think you have the same question about relyability and best pick.

I buyed a ktm duke 125 used and there is no aktiv carbon kanister for what is that exaclty? And were can i buy that bc i didnt find it in the ktm spareparts shop
The carbon cannister is to absorb fuel spills and evaporated fuel so that it does not contaminate the environment - the bike does not need it or use for running.
Hi, so someone tried to steal my petrol, and now there's a little tube hanging out of the rightside of the tank with the word 'drain' on it. I don't think it is supposed to be connected anywhere, but do you know for sure?
Have you ever seen the fuel pressure regulator in 21+ models ? Doing research it has a hex hole in the top of it, to screw and give more pressure to the spring i assume, i way to raise the fuel pressure, do you know anything more about it ? Or have you even try it or done it ?
@@MotoMirius right at this moment i pulled the tank out of the bike and go for it, in effect, it does come with an adjustable fuel pressure regulator, has a 6mm allen hex on the top, i give it a couple or turns down to push the spring a little, i’ll be testing it this afternoon. The ideal case was to measure the presure but i dont have a gauge.
The water vent has a rubber hose running from the bottom of the tank. It has a cover at the bottom end you will need to remove, or it may be kinked stopping the water running out - I don't recall which side of the bike it comes out and may depend where it was routed if the tank was removed.
Just to be sure: if I unplug the fuel hose from the bottom of the tank it will not result in all the fuel leaking on the floor? Is there some sort of valve that prevents that? Doesn't fuel just leak on the floor with the help of gravity?
The line is designed to be removed without leakage - aside from a little fuel that is inside the line itself. There is a pump inside the tank that delivers fuel - it is not gravity fed from a hole in the bottom of the tank.
Thanks @@MotoMirius! Sounds completely logical. Just had to double check before attempting.

Congrats about the video! And I that was thinking that remove the fuel tank of Yamaha XVS 650 was annoying because has to remove 4 bolts and the speedometer.... On Duke is a "little bit" more difficult....
Hello, I have done it, but when I was putting back the body panels (around the tank) the left one doesnt fit as normal (there is around 5mm more space between the tank and panel / plastic). Interesting is that the right one is fitting perfectly. I have been trying to fix it for an 2 hours, but I cant resolve this issue. Have you any idea how to fix it?
Hi, I have done that - it is always something that you are overlooking - there are several places where the panels need to fix down at the same time but you can't see them. Take a break and come back to it normally works for me - if it all fitted before and you haven't broken any fixings then something is simply in the wrong place or not clipped in properly.
Hi, depends what you want to know. In practice it isn't a lot different except that the ECU has the ability to modify the signals for things like ignition cut, but given the ECU is locked this doesn't help very much. You'll only be able to make changes with external boxes and if you already have that technical knowledge you won't need a video - and if you don't the video probably won't help a lot. Skäl David

Clear the blockage in the drain tubes - this is part of the normal service. Check also the drain tubes that sit by the engine which have a plug on the bottom - they fill with water and spilt fuel.
@ one month ago when I visited the service center they opened my fuel tank and again installed it after that it’s happening I think the vent pipe will jammed ?
@@dibyaswain7501 If the issue wasn't there before the removed the tank and it was there after, it's possible that they didn't install it correctly and the hose is pinched or not installed properly.
It's something I've considered. I even have a tail frame on watch on eBay.... It's not difficult, but it is time consuming because there is a fair bit of unbolting - but the same is true of the tank.
Very helpful as always. Quick question, how did you route the two open ends of the carbon canister? I know they aren’t connected to anything but I cannot figure out how to reroute them. Any tips?
@@MotoMirius the charcoal canister has tube that ends with a box-like tip. I ended up tucking behind the frame. At first I freaked out then I read somewhere that they really aren’t connected to anything. Thanks and cheers!
@@jakejones8354 OK. Yours sounds different to mine. Mine only has one tube at the front, the rear ones feed into the cannister so are connected elsewhere, routing isn't that important so long as nothing is kinked.
No. Having low fuel makes the tank lighter but it will always happen that you need to pull the tank when it is full and heavy. No need to drain. Skäl. David
Cutting out on hard braking is common, but doesn't sound the issue here, sounds more an idle issue and could be a number of issues. Has the bike been serviced recently? If not then I suggest a good check over of the connections, make sure that the spark plug is connected properly etc, clean the air filter etc, just rule out normal service stuff/ electrical connectors etc. Good luck

@@jagathhettiarachchi9373 Could be any of a number of issues - this is one of those occasions where internet diagnosis is almost impossible as the fault almost always turns out to be the thing not mentioned but would be obvious with the bike in hand. Valve clearances could be an issue.
@@MotoMirius Thank you David, for your wonderful reliability. I guess I'd better take it for an OBD reading. it is 2018 model but did not ride much till recent. [odometer is still 13900km], that's why I thought that has to be a simple issue. Thank you again.
@@jagathhettiarachchi9373 Quite likely it is a simple issue, but hands on is always faster since there are a number of different things that could give the same result.
Hello David, thanks for yet another great video. I think I need to change the oil pressure sensor because of an intermittent low pressure warning. It doesn't look it can be changed without taking the tank off so this will be useful. If you have any tips that would be appreciated.
@@MotoMirius thanks anyway Dave. In the end I had the sensor changed at Fowlers of Bristol. It did the job, didn't cost much and gave me a chance to take out a demonstrator! I was happy with my fault diagnosis and no damage done.
I have not tried it, but I think it would be possible - the frame is similar, but probably not bolt on. Then too the fuel pump will be different so you will have a lot of things to work on - the seat is different for example so may need to be modified where it meets the tank.
That is a little vague. Fitting a piston ring can be found in one of my 2CV videos - technique is much the same. I have no plans to take apart my engine until it blows up.
I think that’s a little harsh. Engine rebuilds aren’t that technically challenging but wrong compression ring install technique will leave you with a bent and binding ring.
Just subbed to your channel sir, now I have a question for you. I recently purchased a 2020 duke 200. I’ve done a few cosmetic mods as well as modded the under belly exhaust added a k&n air filter and just today I installed a booster plug. I managed to get to the AIT sensor and install the plug without removing the fuel tank, it was kinda challenging but my 14 years of being automotive mechanic helped me out there. While I was there I wanted to install a iridium spark plug but I noticed cable is sort of tall so I called it a night. Am I better off removing the fuel tank and then installing the plug? Or will it turn into a 🐒🏈 situation? Thanks!
Hi Dan and thanks. My advice would be to remove the tank. There are people who can change the plug in situ but there are many more who have failed and I'm not sure if you might have more room with the 200. Tank isn't too bad to remove, biggest pain is just getting the fairing out of the way - which is sort of unexpected with a naked bike! Good luck! Skäl David
Thanks a lot for your advice Skäl. The fairings indeed where somewhat of a pain lol I managed to removed the ignition cable and swapped out the spark plug by just lifting up the fuel tank a few inches with some small blocks I had handy. It was enough room so the need to disconnect the entire tank was not necessary. The NGK iridium plug made a huge difference! Thanks a lot for the great content and keep up the great work! I did this on my 2020 second gen duke 200 bs6 model.
@@danzam374 Great work. I guessed that you had a BS6 from the exhaust reference. Interesting for the Iridium - some mixed opinions as to whether they make a difference.
From my personal experiences on my personal vehicles and that of my customers iridium plugs are definitely the way to go. I won’t make claims that they make power or anything crazy, but the engines do run smother and that tells me the combustion is that more efficient. I have a customer who has 256 thousand miles on a bmw 325 with original engine that makes a 140 mile round trip commute everyday Monday - Friday . Every 5 thousand miles the oil is changed and every 60 thousand he comes in for a tune up. I’ve had the opportunity to do his tune up 3 times now and when I inspected the plugs they are clean, no signs of excessive carbon buildup or irregular spark ware on the probe. His also getting optimal fuel mileage out of nearly 20 year old car. I’ve noticed the same on my vehicles so I decided to give it a try on my bike. My duke has now 700 miles sense it is new and my commute is fairly short, I pulled out the factory conventional Bosch plug and replaced it with the ngk iridium. Here where I’m from it’s been 37-40 degrees US morning and I did I cold start at 5:30 am when I normally go to work and the time of cranking at a cold start was reduce. Also a re warm start up was that much faster and just seems to idle a heck of a lot smoother. Have not had a chance to go for a ride being that it’s raining. I’m not after any type of power gains or expecting any. After I go for ride I will report back to you and give you my final thoughts sir!
Sorry if this has been asked before and it's a bit off topic BUT did you ever finish the Lomax? I've just sat through 26 episodes looking forward to seeing the finished car AND nothing!

Fantastic. Thank you so much! Your videos really help me with maintenance jobs. Quick question, once the tank is removed, is there a specific way to sit it to stop petrol leaking out or can you just sit it on the table on top of the fuel pump as it sits on the bike?

2:45 the plastic in your hand. Is it interchangeable between the Duke 125 and the Duke 390? I’d like to order 390 plastics for my 125 because i’m a liar, Lol.

Hlw sir my pipe from tank to canister has jammed that's why wherever I open my fuel tank whoosh sound air comes pls. Tell what to do
Clear the blockage in the drain tubes - this is part of the normal service. Check also the drain tubes that sit by the engine which have a plug on the bottom - they fill with water and spilt fuel.
@ in fuel there are 2 holes one is water hole and another is a hole to canister I have to clean the canister hole
@@dibyaswain7501 How you clean it will depend on what you have to hand, but both tubes should be clean and clear.
@ one month ago when I visited the service center they opened my fuel tank and again installed it after that it’s happening I think the vent pipe will jammed ?
@@dibyaswain7501 If the issue wasn't there before the removed the tank and it was there after, it's possible that they didn't install it correctly and the hose is pinched or not installed properly.
How difficult is it to remove the rear frame (white part) and have it repainted/powder coated?
It's something I've considered. I even have a tail frame on watch on eBay.... It's not difficult, but it is time consuming because there is a fair bit of unbolting - but the same is true of the tank.
Please do it so I can also do the same lol.. Great videos, everything is clear, well thought off and explained.
Very helpful as always. Quick question, how did you route the two open ends of the carbon canister? I know they aren’t connected to anything but I cannot figure out how to reroute them. Any tips?
I'm not clear what you are asking. The front pipe is short and just sits where it is. What two open ends?
@@MotoMirius the charcoal canister has tube that ends with a box-like tip. I ended up tucking behind the frame. At first I freaked out then I read somewhere that they really aren’t connected to anything. Thanks and cheers!
@@jakejones8354 OK. Yours sounds different to mine. Mine only has one tube at the front, the rear ones feed into the cannister so are connected elsewhere, routing isn't that important so long as nothing is kinked.
What issues would be caused if the carbon filter is failing?
I am from India bs6 Duke 390 TFT display how get in duke 125
BS6 125 in Euro spec has TFT as stock. The bike will run the TFT but you may have a different wiring harness and ECU.
Did you emptied the tank before disconnecting all the hoses?
No. Having low fuel makes the tank lighter but it will always happen that you need to pull the tank when it is full and heavy. No need to drain. Skäl. David
@@MotoMirius ♥️♥️
Hi my 2018 duke cuts out when slowing down and runs bad at low speed do you know what could be the problem thanks
Cutting out on hard braking is common, but doesn't sound the issue here, sounds more an idle issue and could be a number of issues. Has the bike been serviced recently? If not then I suggest a good check over of the connections, make sure that the spark plug is connected properly etc, clean the air filter etc, just rule out normal service stuff/ electrical connectors etc. Good luck
@@MotoMirius My 2018 duke 390 too cuts off at times and does not start up as I press starter once, but engine keeps cranking. I have to switch the key off, wait and switch on again, wait till display is ready, then only it starts up sometimes. any help, please?
and how often the fuel filter to be replaced?
@@jagathhettiarachchi9373 Could be any of a number of issues - this is one of those occasions where internet diagnosis is almost impossible as the fault almost always turns out to be the thing not mentioned but would be obvious with the bike in hand. Valve clearances could be an issue.
@@MotoMirius Thank you David, for your wonderful reliability. I guess I'd better take it for an OBD reading. it is 2018 model but did not ride much till recent. [odometer is still 13900km], that's why I thought that has to be a simple issue.
Thank you again.
@@jagathhettiarachchi9373 Quite likely it is a simple issue, but hands on is always faster since there are a number of different things that could give the same result.
Hello David, thanks for yet another great video. I think I need to change the oil pressure sensor because of an intermittent low pressure warning. It doesn't look it can be changed without taking the tank off so this will be useful. If you have any tips that would be appreciated.
I've not needed to change it, so I can't offer any specific advice.
@@MotoMirius thanks anyway Dave. In the end I had the sensor changed at Fowlers of Bristol. It did the job, didn't cost much and gave me a chance to take out a demonstrator! I was happy with my fault diagnosis and no damage done.
Thanks used you as a reference for the fueling lines
Good move! Skäl David
Mystery solved, now I know the tank plastics push slide to the rear. Thanks.
I always forget and have to figure out exactly how they come off!
Thank you soooo much for the video. Super helpful.
Thanks, glad it was of help! Skäl David
Can we fit this tank in duke 200 2012 model
I have not tried it, but I think it would be possible - the frame is similar, but probably not bolt on. Then too the fuel pump will be different so you will have a lot of things to work on - the seat is different for example so may need to be modified where it meets the tank.
@@MotoMirius okh thank you so much for the information ❤️
Where can I get a 14 tooth countershaft sprocket for a 19 duke 390????
Depends where you are Tom. Pretty common sprocket and for example JT makes one. Skäl. David
Sr please give me 1 video KTM rc 200,390 how to install piston ring
That is a little vague. Fitting a piston ring can be found in one of my 2CV videos - technique is much the same. I have no plans to take apart my engine until it blows up.
If you need a video on installing piston ring, you definitely should not be doing piston ring install. lol
I think that’s a little harsh. Engine rebuilds aren’t that technically challenging but wrong compression ring install technique will leave you with a bent and binding ring.
Just subbed to your channel sir, now I have a question for you. I recently purchased a 2020 duke 200. I’ve done a few cosmetic mods as well as modded the under belly exhaust added a k&n air filter and just today I installed a booster plug. I managed to get to the AIT sensor and install the plug without removing the fuel tank, it was kinda challenging but my 14 years of being automotive mechanic helped me out there. While I was there I wanted to install a iridium spark plug but I noticed cable is sort of tall so I called it a night. Am I better off removing the fuel tank and then installing the plug? Or will it turn into a 🐒🏈 situation? Thanks!
Hi Dan and thanks. My advice would be to remove the tank. There are people who can change the plug in situ but there are many more who have failed and I'm not sure if you might have more room with the 200. Tank isn't too bad to remove, biggest pain is just getting the fairing out of the way - which is sort of unexpected with a naked bike! Good luck! Skäl David
Thanks a lot for your advice Skäl. The fairings indeed where somewhat of a pain lol I managed to removed the ignition cable and swapped out the spark plug by just lifting up the fuel tank a few inches with some small blocks I had handy. It was enough room so the need to disconnect the entire tank was not necessary. The NGK iridium plug made a huge difference! Thanks a lot for the great content and keep up the great work! I did this on my 2020 second gen duke 200 bs6 model.
@@danzam374 Great work. I guessed that you had a BS6 from the exhaust reference. Interesting for the Iridium - some mixed opinions as to whether they make a difference.
From my personal experiences on my personal vehicles and that of my customers iridium plugs are definitely the way to go. I won’t make claims that they make power or anything crazy, but the engines do run smother and that tells me the combustion is that more efficient. I have a customer who has 256 thousand miles on a bmw 325 with original engine that makes a 140 mile round trip commute everyday Monday - Friday . Every 5 thousand miles the oil is changed and every 60 thousand he comes in for a tune up. I’ve had the opportunity to do his tune up 3 times now and when I inspected the plugs they are clean, no signs of excessive carbon buildup or irregular spark ware on the probe. His also getting optimal fuel mileage out of nearly 20 year old car. I’ve noticed the same on my vehicles so I decided to give it a try on my bike. My duke has now 700 miles sense it is new and my commute is fairly short, I pulled out the factory conventional Bosch plug and replaced it with the ngk iridium. Here where I’m from it’s been 37-40 degrees US morning and I did I cold start at 5:30 am when I normally go to work and the time of cranking at a cold start was reduce. Also a re warm start up was that much faster and just seems to idle a heck of a lot smoother. Have not had a chance to go for a ride being that it’s raining. I’m not after any type of power gains or expecting any. After I go for ride I will report back to you and give you my final thoughts sir!
@@danzam374 Sounds good. I might give them a go on my next plug change! Thanks!
Do you need to take the tank off to change the fuel filter ?
Fuel filter is attached to the bottom of the tank so yes. You are supposed to drain the fuel tank too. Skäl. David
Moto Mirius you done what I would have done filled it up first lol 😂
@@Firby1988 Its a law isn't it? I don't think I've ever removed a tank that wasn't just filled.
Sorry if this has been asked before and it's a bit off topic BUT did you ever finish the Lomax? I've just sat through 26 episodes looking forward to seeing the finished car AND nothing!
It’s a great question and you aren’t the first to ask. I need it out of the shed and finished so it is a high priority but I haven’t managed to find the time. But soon! Skäl. David
Someone please help I changed my gas tank and put everything back together and now the damn bike wont start it starts for at most 2 seconds then dies
Most often caused by a kinked hose. Unbolt the back end, lift it up a bit and check the hoses aren't trapped or kinked.
Que fantástico video aunque seria genial si fuera en español o subtitulado al español!!

Well this is useful for polishing the tank, paint is a bit too soft
Good luck with the polishing!

How much did a new tank cost?
A new tank would cost you £344 in the UK plus shipping. One day I might replace mine, but no real reason to do it yet. Skäl. David
Because mine is also damaged. I can’t imagine any other reason for replacing it. Of course you could always fill the dent and respray. Skäl. David
@@MotoMirius OMG here in india a new fuel tank including fitting will cost £68
I don't know about the rest of you but when I heard the police sirens in the background, I immediately pictured MAD MAX chasing the ToeCutter.... Oh hell yeah!!!

@@MotoMirius do you get chased by the cops a lot?
@@Robocoppat They have the helicopter for when they chase bikes around here.
@@MotoMirius I'm a cop...ride safe. Love your channel.
@@Robocoppat Thanks. Round here the police are authorised to, and do, knock riders off their bikes. It was a pretty effective response to the moped gang issue we had here a few years ago.
A little fiddly but nothing difficult 👍🏻
Yah. Time consuming but well within everyone’s ability to do I reckon. Skäl. David
Fantastic. Thank you so much! Your videos really help me with maintenance jobs. Quick question, once the tank is removed, is there a specific way to sit it to stop petrol leaking out or can you just sit it on the table on top of the fuel pump as it sits on the bike?
Unless you run the pump or you have a leak, no fuel will leak out - aside from a few drips from the fuel in the pipes. Try to put something under the tank so you so not crush any pipes etc. Skäl David
can you use this tank to an old model of ktm duke 200. Because the old tank and cover looks ugly. 😂
I'm sure it's possible, but you will need to make new tank mounts.
Please video clean injector ktm duke
I will add it to the list but I have other work to complete first. Thanks
Very quiet audio, I only say this as I am watching this at work on full volume and still can't hear you...
Unfortunately there must be an issue with your connection as the audio is fine for me.
When you turn on your bike can you hear your fuel pump activates like the older model?
Yes. That’s pretty much normal for any bike with a fuel pump. Skäl. David
