THE COOLING FAN CAME LOOSE AND STOPPED WORKING WHICH CAUSED THE MOTORCYCLE TO OVERHEAT AND LOSE POWER. THIS RESULTED IN NEEDING TO BE TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER. THIS WAS AFTER ONLY 10 MILES ON THE BRAND NEW MOTORCYCLE. STILL AWAITING THE RESULTS FROM THE DEALER.
THE WATER PUMP SEALS RUPTURED CAUSING THE ENGINE TO OVERHEAT WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. ON A SEPARATE OCCASION THE BIKE HAD A SUDDEN FULL TRANSMISSION LOCK-UP WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAY.
THE COOLANT IN THE RESERVOIR TANK BECOMES EMPTY WHEN DRIVING THE MOTORCYCLE FOR AROUND 100-130 MILES IN NORMAL CONDITIONS. THERE SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE VALVE SEPARATING THE ENGINE OIL AND THE COOLANT. DUE TO THIS ISSUE, THE COOLANT LEAKS INTO THE ENGINE AND CAUSES ISSUES LIKE HIGH ENGINE TEMPERATURES, MURKY ENGINE OIL DUE TO MIXING WITH COOLANT, HEAVY SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST. THIS SEEMS TO BE A WIDER PROBLEM IN MANY OF THE DUKE 390 FROM WHAT WE HAVE READ ONLINE FROM OTHER DUKE 390 OWNERS. THIS WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN SOME OF THE MOD…
GET LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING RANDOMLY THAT WILL LEAD TO INTERMITTENT POWER ISSUES TO THE POINT OF STALLING OR TOTALLY HAVING THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. AFTER THAT IT WILL NOT BE ABLE TO START FOR A LONG TIME OR WONT START AT ALL. HAS BEEN PLAGUED WITH ALOT OF SENSOR ISSUES AND OVERHEATING FOR NO REASON TOO. THIS ALL HAPPENS EVEN THOUGH IT HAS ALL NEW OIL AND COOLANT. WAS DOING IT SINCE EVEN THE FIRST 100 MILES TILL IT HAS NOW GOTTEN TO THE POINT THE BIKE IS UNSAFE AND NON FUNCTIONING.
WHEN IN MOTION, AND GEARING DOWN, AS I PULL IN THE CLUTCH THE RPMS DROP. AS THEY DO, THE BIKE WILL INTERMITTENTLY STALL. THIS IS A CONTINUOUS ISSUE. THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RUNNING COLD OR HOT. ALSO, THIS BIKE WAS JUST BOUGHT FROM PREVIOUS OWNER. THE TITLE IS NOT YET SIGNED OVER TO ME.
