If you're doing exhaust and filter, make sure you also do Power Commander V. As for keeping it cool - Spal Fan and Engine Ice combo seems to be working for some people (do a search on this forum). Welcome and have fun! Best of luck with reliability!!!~

I haven't checked this page for like the LONGEST time, my bad. But yes I ended up with a 2015 RC390 that i bought off of 1st Gear. Might be trading that in soon though in the new year for a 2017 unless there are MAJOR changes for 2018s. I'll see =D Any one doing any more rides? Today was a...

Looks good though regardless whether its a function'able part or not haha. Where did you get it?

Why not Motul 300V? (if price isn't the issue). If not, then the 10w50 will work too since the "10w" is cold weight, Operational viscosity will still be at 50 which is fine. Having a lower cold rating might be better too should you have cooler days cold starts. Cheers!

Absolutely depends on your budget and how much you're willing to spend. Obviously if you have the money and don't mind spending it the 17' comes with a lot of nice little "upgrades." Is it worth the extra $3k? Absolutely not. However, for some buying new gives them a bit more peace of mind and...

I am sure Race Fuel might be overkill and won't make a significant difference on your butt dyno on a Stock RC. If you have tunes and mods, then it might might a slight difference? (I am speaking from experience derived from racing cars and NOT bikes). Also, seems like modified bikes usually...

Hi Guys! Just got a call from the KTM Dealer (Holeshot) and they FINALLY received some 2017 RC 390's. The person over the phone told me they have got in around 10 units and around 3 or 4 are spoken for! Go and pick em up or check em out if you're in the area if you guys are interested!

Damn, totally forgot about the Members Map thingy. You guys are a tad bit too far for me to ride out in a day or two xD... Have not gone on long distances riding on the RC yet, don't really plan on doing so. Have a lot of fun guys Q____Q||| absolutely missing out on some great roads in interior BC.

Where are these rides happening around? xD If it ain't too far from the lower mainland I would love to meet the rest of you guys!!

I'm not so sure about down south (in the US), but here in Canada distilled water can always be found in the pharmacy sections of super markets and or directly at the pharmacy themselves. (i suppose distilled water is used for medical reasons for cleaning/washing etc.) Check out your local...

Picked up a used 15' with 15xx km. Been riding as much as possible (for commute and going to the gym etc.). Put on around 600-700km and already got my first problem... Nothing major but annoying nonetheless. I realize that the kickstand bolt must be loose because there is starting to be some...

@cornerslider & bahawton. Guys, no need to dwell on difference in terms of usage of the bike and how hard we push it =D We understand both your perspectives. for cornerslider, @2100 miles (mostly track), the engine is for sure quite "reliable" if nothing major has come up yet with those kinda...

Hi Bud, I am too concerned about the reliability. Absolutely taking a risk with the used 15' but I just don't want to wait anymore. When the 17' shows up in our showroom I am sure I'll go check it out and maybe trade up for it (for the added upgrades - Throttle by Wire, Bigger Brakes, Slipper...

That's including tax i suppose when you mean OTD? My dealer here in Canada is $7665.28 CAD OTD including taxes and fees. That equates to approx. $5590 USD. Also here where i am taxes are 12%. I ordered one and they STILL cannot tell me when it will be arriving... I'm lucky enough to found a...

ya, my main purpose with this bike is for commute as well as weekend rides in the mountains/ twisties. Not intending to push the bike hard often and seriously not considering tracking it unless i do a full rebuild of the engine first to make sure that the build is solid. It's just that the 390...
