I'm hoping to hit VIR some this spring summer to really have some fun. There are some great roads around here but I have never been to the track so it'll be a good experience!

15 RC390 and 13 sx250. Love my bikes!!

EDIT** sorry the pics are so small.. dont know how to make them bigger lol

some action shots from the twisties today!! lovin this bike. Just enough to really hone your skills. had no problem keeping up and giving bigger bikes a run for their money.

Cant go wrong going up a tooth. especially on a tight track. Youll notice a little more get up and that could be beneficial.

the packing i used was the fmf "pillow" packing.. you have to trip some of it off and then turn it sideways.. when you turn it sideways it literally fits perfect into the can length wise. I sent you a message with some more detail.

I bought the werkes exhaust from someone on ebay.. the werkes exhaust doesnt seem to have good packing to begin with. I drilled out the rivets and repacked with fmf 4 stroke packing and it made a huge difference. it has a nice sound now that isnt super loud and seemed to pick up some tq. If you...

GOOD NEWS: the packing that i used is holding up excellent!!! ive put almost 700 miles on my bike this week. sounds the exact same as the day i did it.. thats a win in my opinion. im thinking its going to last a long time!! i run my bike very hard too, so im sure if you ride it regular it will...

no problem man! I think we have found a solution for the werkes! ill keep checking in and let you guys know how long this particular packing lasts. if it doesnt last long ill go with the spec-31 stuff.

I repacked my werkes exhaust today too!!! it was pretty straight forward. drill out the top rivets, pull apart, pack, reassemble with rivet gun.. it took all of 45 minutes and WOWWW it made such a huge difference!! when i pulled mine apart it had no packing whatsoever. no wonder this thing was...

I tried to put my stock exhaust back on today.. and yeah.. that didnt happen at all lol good lord KTM doesnt like making anything simple do they? ive had 4 ktms and its always something weird. I guess ill wait to see if buildable comes up with a good solution like you said

I just put on my werkes exhaust today... man this thing is waaaaay loud.. I wish someone would find a end all solution to make this exhaust a little less obnoxious. Looking forward to it so i dont have to sell it lol and i like loud stuff so thats saying alot.

i will say that at that lean angle you see on the rear tire, the front seems to be running out of width, it wasn't bad at all and I was REALLY pushing it to get anything sketchy to happen and that was only with the front. I only incident I had was it started to low side, or push in a max lean...

haha!! Hey i gotta do what i gotta do!! I really need a proper stand, i suppose that would make it slightly easier hahaha :cool: this bike is light but not THAT light.. kinda didnt take into consideration my dirt bikes frame sets a good foot higher lol

haha im no badass, but i like to think i can ride pretty fast for just getting into street riding. (first street bike) Ive raced motocross in 250a and 450a for years so its definitely transitioned into street bikes. Always rode ktms so it was an easy decision when i stumbled upon the rc390 at...
