    Anyone try this digital shop manual?

    I bought a hardcopy of Service Workshop Shop Repair Manual Book 2017 RC 390 from ebay for $35. I don't like how all the photos are black and white, about 2" x 3". Kinda hard to see good detail in a small, black n white photo. Nevertheless, here it is in case anyone interested...

    proper routing of radiator drain hose

    I'm putting the left side panel back on, and I can't remember where the radiator overflow hose goes. As you can see in the photo, I have it fed through the proper hole, but I just don't know where to feed it after that so it doesn't get burned. Do I pull it through further? Then where does it...

    I put oil in coolant tank

    Update: First I tried using a giant syringe to pull the oil straight out of the expansion reservoir, but the 1/4" tube attached to the syringe could not get past the overflow T, so that option was out the window. I was about to just make a custom attachment so that I could Shop vac it...

    looking for muffler clamp washers

    I am missing two of these shown in my hand. The washer being held is from my Dad's Duke 390. When I took the muffler off my RC, I did not realize these were washers, I just thought it was one attached piece. Went riding, and they must have vibrated off. I have had zero success searching for...

    I put oil in coolant tank

    Ok this is super embarrassing, but I thought I needed to add coolant, because when looking at reservoir, it looked empty. I quickly grabbed a quart I had on the bench, thinking it was coolant, because I remember buying some and I thought that's where I set it. Very dumb, yes I did not even...

    Oil change kit

    Have my first service coming up and I'm trying to save a little money by changing the oil in myself. I was thinking of getting this kit https://www.ktm-parts.com/90238015010KIT.html for 50 bucks but I don't know.... the dealer says they charge me $70 for an oil change so that's a whopping $20...

    Columbia River Gorge Oregon

    I want to get to that point, but I don't have the confidence to mess with valves, even with this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sScXWEoSqyM great video. My dad bought his 2017 390 Duke at Gresham Powersports. At the time, he didn't know that Fun Country had KTM bikes. Funny thing, when it...

    Columbia River Gorge Oregon

    Thanks for the welcome Fasteddy. I'm in Hood River, and bought bike at Fun Country in The Dalles. I feel like my helmet is fine, it's just that due to the handlebars being so low, forcing you to ride with your back angled forward, you have to always have your head "looking up" in relation to...

    1st service mileage limit

    Thanks for the info Matt. I had no idea about metal dust during break-in. I'm 16, first bike ever, so actually I know very little about bikes, but I am eager to learn. Darn, I was really looking forward to my ride on NF-99 to Windy Ridge today (Mt St Helens East viewpoint). 200 mile round...

    Columbia River Gorge Oregon

    I'm 16, and I've had my 2017 RC for 3 weeks and I got 1,000 miles on it. I'm in the heart of the Columbia River Gorge and this bike is great for Canyon carving. I love it but I'm wondering if sport bikes in general, because of the riding position, causes neck aches. if I'm on a long ride I...

    1st service mileage limit

    The first service due at 620 miles, and I'm already at 1,000 miles, just having too much fun on this bike. I suppose I should have called to make a service appointment when I hit 620 but here I am at 1,000 and by Sunday night I'll probably have 1300. I plan to call them Monday morning to make...
