Seems lately that I have excessive pressure in the tank when I stop to fill up with gas. I've checked the vent hose and overflow hose all are clear and not kinked. I did notice that within the cap itself their seems to be vent or something. You can see a half moon rubber seal with a hole in it...
I attended the AIMExpo Motorcycle Trade Show in Columbus, Ohio a few weeks ago and the Dunlop tire rep I talked to stated that next year the Q3+ should be available in RC390 sizes, 110 front, 150 rear. I'm hopefully this happens as I use Q3's on my other bikes and really like them.
I noticed after my last ride that I had a couple of drops of oil on the clamp that holds the breather hose on the air box that comes from the valve cover. The hose attaches to what appears to be a small box attached next to and part of air box. Any ideas on a fix? This is the only area that...
Me and my RC390 made the weeks best photo's on US 129 Photos, scroll down on home page bottom left second one up. Just past the bear!

Today I was changing the oil, filters, etc....when I noticed a oil color difference in two alike liter bottles of Motorex? I use Motorex Top Speed 4T 15W-50 which meets the JASO T903 MA requirement in the owners manual. I use this type as my dealer doesn't carry the Motorex Formula 4T and the...
I was trying to figure out what next to do to the bike to lose weight and I thought of a new product idea. Plastic or Carbon Fiber Fuel Tank.
My Aprilia has a plastic tank and so long as you use no ethanol fuel its no problem. Here in Tennessee no ethanol is available at many locations.
I installed my power commander today and have two questions.
1. Item 15 in the instructions says to unplug the stock crank position sensor, it's a black 4 pin connector near the FRT, LH side of cylinder head. Picture in instructions shows a 6 pin and a 4 pin connector. I could not find a...
I'm currently installing the air box mod and PCV module. I'm at a point where four bolts are removed from gas tank mounts and battery removed. Do I need to loosen or remove the battery box? Do I need to drain the tank? Can I just move the tank up and back a little to access wire connections I...
Yesterday I mounted up my new Tyga exhaust. Once I got the stock exhaust (2 1/2 hr. battle) off it was pretty easy to install this exhaust. I think KTM built the bike around the stock exhaust! Anyway, new exhaust looks awesome and sounds good. I started it just for a minute or two as don't have...
Anyone know the torque specs for the upper and lower triple clamp bolts? Just got forks back after Andreani Kit install and need torque specs. If you need a very good suspension guy go to Kent at GMD Atlanta.
About Us
Installed the MNNTHBX quick throttle and new renthal grips. I did not like the stock grips as they were to fat for me. The throttle and grips to me, make a big improvement in performance and control. Well worth the money and time installing these parts.
I did my first oil change and three screws on the lower cowl were cross threaded when I tried to remove them! I had to tap out the treads and buy new screws/bolts from Lowes. I'm not impressed by this, did the factory install the cowl or the dealer? Otherwise I'm happy with the bike, but it does...
