I have not adjusted the valves. do you have any recommendations for someone to go to for that type of work around the Seattle area? Wondering if this issue may be covered under warranty but I can't find my warranty book....

Throttle assembly is tight on my bar but my idle doesn't sound great. Almost sounds like it wants to cut out. Not sure if it is related to top end power loss. Now thinking I may have lost 6th gear. I am wondering if when I am "shifting into 6th" I am actually just stuck in 5th, which is why...

Hi guys, I just hit 1000 miles on my RC today at the track. After the first couple of sessions I noticed a significant drop in power in the higher gears 5/6. If I redline 5th, then shift up to 6th it barely changes the power output. i can get up to about 78-80 in 5th and then barely manage to...

I wanted to paint my Formula390 fairings during the off-season and am looking for any advice/recommendations regarding paint or clear coat. I would like to hand paint a fun design across several pieces of fairings. I was planning to sand down the fairings, layer of primer, and then create a...

Thanks Ryan!

Looking at it again, are you supposed to remove the screws on top, remove the top plate, remove adhesive protection, slide the part on from the bottom and then screw the top plate back on?

Hi Everyone, Just ordered a Driven top triple and clip ons and got the Tyga Steering Stopper to help with clearance. Couldn't find any instructions on Tyga's website about install. Seemed like a simple enough install until I tried checking the fit of the piece of the orange flange above the...

Track day through OPRT. Had fun riding with several other RC390s....which left me in the dust! Two laps at Pacific Raceways

Just updating this for "completedness". Had a chance to check out my bike again after getting home from vacation. MIL was not on. Attempted self-diagnostic procedure of (a) holding the throttle open, (b) turn the ignition on, (c) held throttle open for 5 seconds, (d) and then closed the...

This was my first guess but in all the excitement/confusion of losing power and trying to safely get my bike off the track I didn't get a chance to really look at what could be going on. I know the bike tends to run hot and being my first day on the track I did feel like I was mis-shifting a lot...

Thanks Ryan. I'll try to ride it around a bit and see if I can get it to do the same thing. The bike isn't street legal so that should be fun! haha. Track Time sounds great, especially that group size. I had about 20 people in my level 1 riding group and I was stuck behind a guy on Triump Rocket...

Yea, riding at the Ridge. I never let it get lower than 50% fuel level during the track day. Would you recommend topping it off before each round to make sure the tank is full? Anything I can do to prevent this? Thanks for the reply.

I took my bike onto the track for the first time last weekend. Bike only has 350 miles on it. It ran really well for 2/3 of the track day and then going down the front straight in 6th I noticed the mph just dropping fast and my bike slowing down. I couldn't apply any throttle. I turned the bike...

Thanks for all the input guys. I'll probably go with the clear Stomp Grips so as to not cover up the decals! I'll let you know how they are after my next track day.

After my first track day with this bike I found myself sliding around quite a bit. I wondered what other riders have tried for tank pads to add grip. Any recommendations would be great, thanks!
