Anyone seen any white marks on their dash like this? Didn't think much of it until I got home and tried to clean it off with window cleaner but wouldn't budge. Ended up having to use headlight polish for 10 mins to get 99% of it off.
Also noticed the brake reservoir cap was weeping so thinking it's brake fluid but can't see any other evidence of it except the dash. You wouldn't think it would hit the dash anyway and fly backwards as you're riding
Could be petrol droplets, one of my indicators has white spots. get the cover protector on fast. I doubt it would be brake fluid. Ive seen petrol do that on a Street fighter dash.

It's odd as my GPS sits before it and the tank so you would think it would have got on there too. Keeping an eye on it today.
Others have reported the same issue when I posted on Facebook. Ordered a screen protector but has to come from Germany as I could not find anything local
Order up some "The Last Coat" and treat the screen now it's clean. It seems to keep most things from sticking. A mate in the USA put me onto it. It also is great for KTM plastics.

100% brake fluid and now I know how it happened. Was doing some Doohan'esk lean angles (in my head lol) and when you take a left hander you can see the very edge of the brake res would be over the dash. Just takes a drop to hit it

Came home from an afternoon ride on Saturday. Heard a squeak noise at lower speeds and noticed when I got home the right side wheel seal is gone and grease / grime buildup is present.
It’s a 38 minute ride to the dealer via the highway or 55 minutes on back roads.
I can have the dealer come pick...
Anyone experienced this? When starting the bike cold (i.e. has been in the shed at least overnight) the bike starts, hesitates slightly and then revs to anywhere between 4,000 to 5,000 rpm before fairly quickly dropping back to a more correct 1,500-ish rpm. Note that when I say 'cold' I don't...
Hi, I am thinking of purchasing KTM duke 790, I would like to know how real is the oil leak problems? will it still leak after the dealer fix?
I appreciate for the upcoming inputs that you all can give me. Thanks
So since today my duke 790 has started making some squeaking noise, it has 2200 km under its clock, oil change, new filter at 1km.
Chain cleaned and lubed every 500km ish so don't think it's a chain problem although no idea tbh.
Noise seems to be most apparent when I'm running in 2nd gear and...
Curious to see the number and frequency of failures on the 790. I've compiled a list of the most common problems that I've noticed (including ones that I've experienced myself). Feel free to add any other issues in a reply. If you own or owned a 790 and have had ZERO problems, please comment...
