You need driver education and ongoing road signage alerting motorists to lane splitting. For example, I almost took out a lane splitter on the 405 out of L.A. a few years ago. I have been an active motorcyclist since 1965. All of my riding was/is in East Coast states where lane...

I second that on my bike. The anodized orange levers add some bling, too/

I now have a set of those Chinese CNC levers on my RC390. They bolted right on and look good. Be sure to Loctite the tips in place before riding, though. I am halfway to the folding tip setup! I don't race, so it is not a high priority. Plus I have the OEM levers for spares if ever needed...

That should buff right out. Bikes are replaceable but body parts are not. Glad you came through it okay.

I have not yet put bar end mirrors on my RC390. I have them on all my Nortons. They give a very good view of the road behind me instead of my elbows, like the stockers on the KTM do.

i can't speak with certainty about the rear brake lever, but cheap alloy levers are very prone to breakage when you try to bend them back into shape. Some claim better results if the lever is heated. The same goes for the front levers. I can recommend replacing both front levers with a set of...

Thanks for cluing me in. I just wanted flash for the street, not function for racing. The cheap Chinese knockoffs looked good with the anodized orange aluminium. I think I will pass on these.

I was searching Ebay for a little bling for my RC 390 when I came across this: Orange Laser Fuel Gas Tank Keyless Cap for KTM RC 200 390 | eBay Does anybody have any experience with these, not necessarily this vendor (picked at random among several suppliers all selling what appears to be the...

Finally got around to connecting my heated grips, thanks to the info posted by fasteddy. This motorcycle is the most convoluted bike I have ever worked on. I have disassembled Norton Commandos down to the point of unbolting the crankshaft. I have completely broken down my Aprilia Futura using...

That's where you are wrong. Mine has a supercharger.

Thanks. Looks like I better leave it in, then. Too bad the inadequate owner's manual did not include a wiring diagram.

On the right side of the frame is located a two wire plug that is connected to the other end that merely loops back upon itself. From the harness, one wire is blue/purple (or blue/pink) and the other is black/yellow. The black/yellow loops back upon itself on the removable side. Does anyone...

Actually, I misspoke. The proper question was how to remove the plastic cover over the fuel tank. Once i figured out that the sides were a press fit over a post, I merely pried them off. Then it was a matter of removing the cover of the fuel filler, and Bob's your uncle! Don't forget to...

Thanks, I did not think to look under the battery. I was afraid it was going to be something like the procedure for the Duke, where you have to cut the heads off bolts to fabricate screws to keep the tank from warping.

Thank you. Much appreciated. When I bought my RC 390 service manuals were not yet available to the public. And still weren't the last time I stopped by my dealer. (Sixty miles away on the other side of the beltway.) I have had a service manual for every motorcycle I ever owned since I...

Posted elsewhere i asked for a wiring diagram so I can install some heated grips. As a corollary, "How in the heck does one remove the petrol tank?" I tried to dismount it, but I am obviously overlooking some fasteners, as it is still solidly mounted. Again the owner's manual tells me how to...

After a couple of cold weather rides I realized that i missed the heated grips I had installed on my Aprilia. I need a copy of the wiring diagram so I can find a power source that is controlled by the ignition switch. Switch on - power, switch off - no juice. The users manual does not have...

What Ergo Seat? I need to learn more about it. In the meantime, I installed a set of cheap Chinese CNC machined adjustable foot pegs I bought off Ebay. These basically allow a 1" offset that can be rotated about the center. In my case I set them down the maximum position to give me an...

Thanks. The service manager fixed mine out of my view.

When i was wheeling my KTM into the garage I noticed that my left rear turn signal was dangling by the wires. KTM mounted the turn signals on flexible stalks to prevent breakage in case of a minor get off. I must have hit the turn signal hard enough with my boot when I was dismounting to...
