For 2020, the KTM 390 Duke BS6 apart from a greener motor and new colours, got a bi-directional quickshifter. That makes it the most affordable motorcycle to have one. The next one to get a quickshifter is the larger and thrice as expensive KTM 790 Duke. Can we have the quickshifter retrofitted in the previous generation 390 Duke as well? To find answers we reached out to KTM but it turns out the procedure is not a quick fix job or one that KTM recommends.
