    Parting Out 2015 RC390 - 7k Miles

    Can you send the clutch basket? The silver piece with 3 prongs to hold the springs. Not sure how much you want to break apart the engine

    Need Help Coolant disappearing from 2017 KTM RC 390 race bike

    Sounds like a good plan. I really don't want to split the case and I already ordered those upgraded water pump seals. Fingers crossed!

    Need Help Coolant disappearing from 2017 KTM RC 390 race bike

    Well I already got the head and the piston shaft thing decked just in case so that won't tell me anything at this point. Going to tear down the water pump and see if that tells more of the story before splitting the case. Fingers crossed that'll solve it.....but I'm worried that I'll put it...

    Need Help Coolant disappearing from 2017 KTM RC 390 race bike

    So not to bandwagon this too much, but I'm in the same boat as OP except my engine is now apart and it appears the head gasket was not the issue as it still looks pretty mint. Looking in my case a bit, it doesn't look like there is much bead left from the original case sealant so that means I...

    Engine shuts down after hitting the rev limiter?

    Never experienced personally but the engine might not be happy if you over rev it--sounds like you might be dropping too many gears. You can get the Akra map at your dealer which unlocks a few more revs, might help with the ECU cutting your engine.

    best exhaust system

    I would also like a more definitive answer...for reasons. power reasons Also the differences between tyga and yoshi double in particular are vague and I'm not sure which is best

    Strange noises...what to check?

    I'm running the map provided by Chad for the open airbox and ~stock. Quality map I've been very happy with. Ya I have adjustable levers and one was flipped up (right side) and my mirror was moved(left side). Very strange. I investigated and everything looks ok, body wheels, rotor, etc. But...

    Strange noises...what to check?

    I have determined that the additional noise is a buzzing sound, especially when decelerating. Might just be my imagination. That was my first though but it is still nice and secure. Probably just my imagination. I do need to get my abs light checked out though. Some kind of issue there

    Strange noises...what to check?

    Okay peeps...this is going to sound vague but this is all I have. My bike is sounding weird and riding weird. First off, backstory/mods: Gaffer 320 rotor, PCV, open airbox, removed that stupid hose, manual cam chain tensioner. Did the airbox mod, got used to the nice growl and intake...

    Oil leak from Valve Cover bolts

    No issues at all! Forums are the place where people go who have problems so you'll rarely find it's a bunch of happy campers. I'd go with what mattv said--possibly some new bolts(the standard bolts are shit) or some more loctite. Or both! Also make sure your loctite is the special oil...

    Understanding Warped Head Gasket

    I'm in So Cal too and so far no problems. Still have a year left on my warranty so I need to hit the track to hopefully flush out any issues I might have with my engine. ;)
