High Guys. Thanks for the welcoming messages ! I did join a Duke Forum last year but it was for the USA which I did not know at the time, did post a couple of messages on there but did not get many replies. I have just ordered a rear hugger from powerbronze for my Scrambler, anyone else fitted one yet ? For me So far so good with the Scrambler, one little niggle, I think the lower gearing [1st & 2nd gear] could be better/smoother in slow moving traffic , other than that its a great/fun bike to ride. Cheers Greaser
Old Rider. Its my 1st Duke , but all I can say when I had my 1st test ride it was on the icon & the gearing on the icon was with a doubt different from the independent, in fact it was quite the opposite I found it sharp & snatchy in the lower gears especially 1st gear, my Thruxton is much the same, but this obviously did not put me off buying one.
Hiya Ducbird .... yes I do like red especially on a Duke or a Ferrari.. mind you the red Top looks good on you too:flushed:..:sunglasses: PS... Thanks to all for the Welcome messages
hello and welcome dude. maybe a sprocket change may sort the issue? Pop a thread up in the scrambler section to see what others are running?
Yes I have done sprocket thing with other bikes, but I think I will stick with it & get use to the Duke I don't really want to alter all the gearing on it which changing a sprocket does.
Quote "Pretty much normal practice" what is Changing the rear sprocket ? As I said previously I don't want to alter "all of the gearing" which changing either front or rear sprocket would do...but I suppose if I did pop another rear sprocket on to get rid of the issue with 1st & 2nd gear it would mean perhaps one with a couple more teeth...:sunglasses:
