Has anyone installed the AutoTune for PowerCommander V on their RC 390?
Is the PCV w/ AT-200 the correct kit?
Looking for more information on the installation procedures for the AutoTune on this bike.
Does the O2 sensor need drilling/welding or is it a stock fit?

I'll spare ya'll the pictures but dang them little buggers (swallows and sparrows) are hard to avoid.

In no particular order, I've found these things to eliminate a lot of the vibration people complain about:
1.) Change the oil (too much oil seems to contribute to vibrations)
2.) Lube the axles/bearings
3.) Adjust/Check the exhaust valve clearances
4.) Tighten/Adjust chain tension
5.) New...

Anybody get more than 5k on the stock tires?
My rear tire is showing cords after a little more than 5k and needs to be changed. Kept 'em @ 29psi the whole time.
Manual says Metzler Sportec M5 (which most places are out of stock) but mine came with Pirelli Diablo Rosso II so that's what...
Doing a valve clearance check at the 5K mile mark, found both exhaust valves @ .11 re-shimmed to .15 using a HotCams shim kit.
When putting the cams back in at TDC, there are 2 horizontal marks and a T on the cam gears, the horizontal marks should be level and even with the block and the T...
When the "Low Fuel Level" message displays, right below it, is displayed "28 miles".
Does that mean the bike has an estimated 28 miles remaining before being out of gas?
Is that number automatically calculated or is it able to be changed manually?
Does a dealer have to ride a new motorcycle before selling it (i.e. some kind of law) or can one just buy a crated motorcycle (i.e. one with 0.0 miles on it)?
In other words can I just buy it off the floor and do the setup at home?
Not sure what the manual recommends and just a street rider myself but try to lube every 200-500 miles (using chain wax atm...) don't like to put too much on because the rear rim get's full and it builds up under the front cover.
Coming up on the second service interval for my bike (Around 4.5-5K miles, I believe).
Did the first service myself and may end doing this one myself too, not sure I trust my dealer.
Just wondering if anyone has had this done at their dealer and what was the cost?
Just trying to get an idea for the different weights and oils that folks are using.
I used the factory break in oil and the Castrol 4T 10W-40 mineral oil then switched to full synthetic Mobil 4T 10W/40.
Engine seems to have a lot of power and "kick" to it (for it's size).
Excuse my...
Purchased a new RC390 OTD $6440 includes tax, title, license, setup and destination fees.
100+ miles on the bike the first day.
First impressions:
Very rough and tumble compared to the Japanese bikes.
Build quality is ok - but not great.
Reminds me of riding a farm tractor - rough and...
