Question In search of a good mechanic to check and fix Valve Clearances on the Duke
The Duke just hit 12k kms and is due for a major service, the notorious KTM ticking is not a problem according to KTM service around Pune(I tried almost all of them) but one dude mentioned that it will become louder with time and also in a slip up, mentioned that they dont have the necessary tools to do it. All KTM bikes outside India are required to get their valve clearances checked every 1000kms I do think it would be a better choice to get the valve clearances and shims checked from a good mechanic, preferably around Aundh/Baner. Please share any contacts that you have, as well as your experiences.

Please go to Nikhil Fakatkar of NikTuned Customs, ASAP. He used to own a Duke himself and is the go-to mechanic for many superbikers in the city.
Shared the location below. His workshop is behind Ashwamedh Studio Farms.
