Ex first gen RC 390 owner. I modded that one with brakes and suspension, tuner etc to get a pretty good lil sport bike. Still, I had a R3 that was bone stock that was just a better street bike, zero mods.
Anyway, the local dealer is blowing out 2017 RC/Dukes and the price caught my eye. So, researching this n that, 320 rotor like I did to my 15. Good.
FBW throttle, did this do enough to smooth out the fueling to be able to skip a piggyback tuner? I know it wont be a twin, but did it get as smooth as some video testers claimed?
Suspension. I see new pn listed for the shock and forks, and HD forks on the Duke. My stock RC was terrible, wallowy and zero damping out back. forks had incredible stiction and again, very little damping action.
I appreciate any feedback from those who have ridden both generations.
And any hints of a new generation RC390 for 2019?
