I haven't ridden them in the rain yet.

I'm running the Powercone with no other modifications and I really like, I wouldn't go back to the stock exhaust again, with the DB killer in I don't notice any loss in power, I think it sacrifices a little midrange for a little more top end, but that's going by feel alone, the Powercone was...

I lowered the front end ages ago by about 6mm, from memory it only lowers the peg height by about 1mm though, I'm roughly 180lbs in my gear too, but I have the shock on position 7, I've removed the hero blobs, and I have a 140/70 rear tyre which adds about 6mm clearance under the pegs, and they...

I decided against using the ebay levers for this reason, assuming this was the reason, I went with the official power parts lever instead, some people have said they felt drag before the brake locked up, so depending on how much lean angle you had, drag could have caused the front to wash out...

I've got the alpha 13's on mine too, but my point was the lean angle should be the same front and rear regardless of how sticky the tyres are, so if your already using all of the front but still have an unused 10mm strip on the edge of the rear, then if you managed to lean it over further to the...

I assume he was on the 150? Sure a grippier tyre will allow more lean angle, but that lean angle should be the same front and rear, people have been to the edge of their front, yet they have chicken strips on the rear, so if they some how manage to go to the edge of their rear, then surely they...

Yes that's correct, from memory the 140/70 gave me 6mm more clearance under the pegs compared to the stock 150, I'm no expert on suspension, but I wouldn't think you would need to change the ride height of the shock (that's assuming you have a shock with ride height adjustment) unless you don't...

On the RC 390? where about's? I might not be going fast enough (it all depends on who I'm being compared to) but then if that were the case my front tyre would have chicken strips too, which it doesn't.

You're right, I forgot to mention that it also alters the profile of the tyre, here's a brief article on the subject. Does Size Matter | Sport Rider Also the promo video where they say "the rear tyre is the widest tyre for this class of bike" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ew9ETVqIJvU...

That depends on ones opinion, the main reason why I went with the 140/70 apart from the whole chicken strip thing, is because it gives you more ground clearance.

Because a 150 looks more impressive, KTM even mention in their marketing that it has the biggest rear tyre in the class, the150 has chicken strips, the 140 doesn't.

Someone on this forum, I can't remember who, took his pads out and found they weren't wearing evenly, I think only the centre of the pads were making contact with the disc, maybe there's quality control issues with the pads and you got one of the bad sets? The brakes are powerful on mine, they...

I don't know where onethump is from, but in NZ we get a 24 month warranty, it states it in the warranty booklet.

I have the Powercone, which looks similar to the Ghost, I don't have any dyno data, but I won't go back to the standard exhaust again, its heavy and quiet, I would buy the Powercone or Ghost just for the weight savings alone, not to mention the sound and the hidden exhaust look.

It also says "including the dealer.net service registration number" which my dealer wrote down in my warranty booklet when I had my first service done, you could risk it of course, I personally wouldn't though, not while its still in its warranty.
