Another Duke joined the club!

Hello fellas,
I own a Duke 125 for about 2 months, bought it at the price of 2500€ with 216km! Yeah I was very lucky since the KTM Store where I bought it from used it just for test rides and they could only sell it at this price
! I live in Greece and I need to translate the page so I can read what you write but that's fine.
Tommorow my Duke is going to be dressed with this sticker kit:
[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir cette image] and I have to say I can't wait!

As of now the only thing I managed to do to the engine is to remove the speed limiter my Duke had. Do you have any recommendations on what to do for a better performance? I am also planning to get an Akra in the next days.
Thanks for listening to me, hope to have a great time here! Happy Easter!

First you should present yourself in " Presentation" section.

Hi m8,
Welcome here!
2500€ / 216kms...good job!!!

This sticker kit is absolutely wonderful! Could you tell us where to find it, please?

About engine performance...you won't get much better performance. No special engine kit has been done for our machines. But many members here changed:
- origin air filter ---> DNA air filter or K&N air filter
- origin spark plug Bosch ---> NGK Iridium LKAR8AI-9
- origin exhaust system ---> Akra / Ixil / Fresco... (not sure it gets any changes about performance)
- 14/45 teeth front/rear sprocket ---> changed to 13/44 sprockets (6th gear is more efficient)

Merry Christmas

Thanks for your answer! This sticker kit replaced the "old" one:
[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir cette image] and it is officialy produced by KTM!
It costs 67,66€ and you should refer to your KTM Dealer (you can find it here: https://www.ktmdealer.net/ but access to this site is only given to the official KTM Dealers)
Here are some photos of it:

Now as for the mechanical part, what is the top speed you managed to get with these changes? Did these changes improved the acceleration?
Thanks everyone!

Thx m8,
go to the "mecanique" section (mechanic), you'll find lots of informations about all those changes and improvements.
If necessary i can try to translate what you won't understand.

Canyou help me find a comparison between the DNA and K&N air filter? I can't search because of the language What would you suggest?

Those filters are used to replace the original one. The benefit is that you don't have to replace it anymore...just clean them. It's also cheaper.

I know what a filter does Since I can't use "search" I just wanted to know what is the most preffered air filter for the little Duke

Huh...not easy to answer...
I mean, it's mostly a question of feeling. The engine "breathes" better than with the original one.
