Hello everyone,
Something unacceptable happened to me last weekend. I was racing with my 2017 KTM RC390 and my engine just blew up during the last lap of a 12 lap race. It happened in Homestead, FL, during the FMRRA 3rd round.
My bike is almost stock. I just did minor mods like exhaust, clip-ons, rear set and bodywork. My engine is stock, the bike has 1500 miles. No flash tune, fuel commander or anything like that.
For whom knows Homestead, it happened between turn 1 and 2. Turn 1 is a full gas turn and turn 2 it's a slow corner. So, I was in 6th gear and downshifted to 3rd. When I got the 3rd the engine just blew up and spill oil in the hot line. Someone behind me slipped in the oil and crashed so hard. In other words, she crashed after braking in the oil that my bike spilled. She went to the hospital and I got some updates that she is fine. I felt bad once it was my bike that spilled the oil. Everyone that race knows that shit can happen anytime for any reason. However, it's totally unacceptable a bike that says "ready to race" make almost a disaster.
I am so upset with this situation and I am considering to go to Kawi 400 to keep playing on the same bike class.
