ECU Remap for KTM Duke 200 by Kiirus Autosports drops by INR 2000 .

Recently we had notified you  about Kiirus Autosports coming up with an ECU Remap option for the KTM Duke 200 . Kiirus Autosports is the first company with ECU remap option for the newly launched KTM Duke 200 , this news was well received among the KTM Duke owners and guess what owing to this overwhelming response  Kiirus will now offer the remap solution for the KTM Duke 200 at a price of INR 10,000, down by INR 2,000 from the earlier price of INR 12,000 .

Kiirus for Speed in Estonian is the first Software Programming company in that offers complete Auto programming solutions for new generation vehicles that are controlled by ECU (engine control unit).Remapping or Programming the existing chip in KTM Duke 200 gives dramatic improvements in performance and economy.

The rev limiter which usually kicks in at 10,500 rpm in stock form is increased upto 11,700 rpm at each of the six gears which is 1,200 revs higher than what the motorcycle does in stock form . This 1,200 rpm over rev will result in the Duke 200 managing top speed  of about 148 Kph ,with proper gear shifts we cant rule out the possibility of even clocking above 150 Kph

Apart from the outstanding increase in the top speed  , Kiirus Autosports  also claim that the flashing of the ECU with a new map  results in softer idle and less stress on the engine. People have already got this done on their Duke 200, which has resulted in a 10% increase in mileage too.

Kiirus Autosports is run by Abhishek Mukherjee in Mumbai
Abhishek Mukherjee, the owner of Kiirus AutoSports can be contacted on +91-9594060920 or through email: info(at)kiirus(dot)in.


They are based around Mumbai  and will need your ECU for 4-5  hours to complete the job, which if you are in Mumbai can be done by visiting them, while people staying away can ship over their ECU’s and Kiirus will ship back their ECU's the same day . Don't forget to get yourself registered as there could be limited entries available .

Though Kiirus have mentioned increase in performance and top speed , as every coin has two sides there are some risks considering this remap solution as well . The most important of them all is the risk of voiding your bike warranty . Not only this , an increased revv-limit will also result in more wear and tear of the engine. Basically revv limit has been put for the longevity of the engine by Bajaj Auto . While we don’t doubt the claims of Kiirus, we will wait till a dyno reading is revealed to show the actual gains with this ECU remap ,
and mind you we are the first one in media – to burst out this news .

KTM Duke 200's Rev Limiter , Key Code Card , Mileage,Top Speed plus some more details revealed!

The KTM Duke 200 is the first of many KTM’s that will come to India via the 40% Bajaj connection.A few media outlets were invited by Bajaj Auto to spend some quality time with the Duke 200 and give thier feedback . No doubt it is an outstanding performer but there was a small disappointment, Bajaj had introduced a rev limiter in the KTM Duke 200 which kicks in at 10,000 RPM. This restricts the speed at a mere 126  km/h which won’t be liked by the motorcycle enthusiasts.Bajaj Auto seems to have addressed the problem somewhat and increased the limit from 10,000 to 10,500 RPM thus taking the top speed to about 138 km/h (on the speedometer).

When you hit 10,500 rpm, the rev limiter cuts in quite sharply; so sharply that riding at full throttle, even in 6th gear is impossible as the ECU keeps killing the power when the bike touches 138 kmph. They bike definitely can go way faster. At a constant 137 kmph though, everything is fine and you can keep cruising. Increase the speed by just another 1 kmph and engine seems to be stuck deciding between delivering full power & delivering no power. That’s how sharp the cut off is.. In case you won’t be satisfied with the speed, you have to wait for sometime as we have news of people working on removing the rev limit altogether.

All KTM Duke 200s which are being delivered to the first customers across the nation have had their rev limiter raised by 500 rpm to 10,500 rpm. So, the top speed of the Duke is now 138 Kph on the digital speedometer it comes with. with an average speedo error of about 5%, the Duke 200 effectively does a true 130 Kph, which is no means a slow speed. Even so, speed hungry folks will have to resort to after market piggy back ECUs or remaps to get past the rev limiter on the Duke 200 or go in for a sprocket change to improve the true top speed by 5-10 Kph. According to the on-board computer, we obtained mileage figures between 21 & 34 kmpl depending on the riding conditions and speeds. Expect no more than 22-23kmpl if you ride around the city mostly in the first 4 gears. On the highway, we obtained a decent 34kmpl while cruising in 6th.

• Bajaj is offering a 2 years/30,000 kilometer warranty on the Duke 200 with free service intervals at 1,000 Kms, 5,000 Kms and 10,000 Kms.
• For the first 1,000 kilometers, the Duke 200′s revs will be limited to 7,500 rpm as a measure for good running in of the engine.
• This limit will be raised to 10,500 rpm post 1,000 kilometers.
•  Service interval for the Duke 200 is 5,000 Kms.

A surprise touch on the Duke 200 is the key chain that it comes with. The key chain (known as the Key Code Card) is a smart card which contains all your service information and you can get your bike serviced from any location in the world, yes, in the world.All you need to do is swipe this card to retrieve your motorcycle's service data . By this new innovative idea there's no need to carry the service booklet for your general services and warranty claims.


KTM 200 Duke is a special motorcycle, just as comfortable puttering around town as a zippy commuter bike or being thrashed while you attack your favorite section of twisty tarmac. KTM and Bajaj have certainly found a sweet spot, as the Indo-Austrian KTM 200 Duke has all the trappings of quickly becoming a best-in-class 200cc street motorcycle. All in all, the KTM Duke 200 brings a lot of refreshing features, many of which are segment firsts and mates it to a high performance-high value package .Deliveries of this motorcycle have already begun and you can head to your nearest KTM store to test ride the Duke 200.
