I have had 3 different cheap slip on mufflers so far. These are my thoughts and I include my bum dyno results, I should stress the bum dyno is not always accurate.
First off I replaced my standard muffler with an Akropovic slip on, I should point out that this Akropovic came from the rare...
Hi Guys'n'Gals
I have a 2019 RC 390.
At last I have removed my huge mirrors, replaced the mirror mounts with Ebay blanking plates through which I have mounted led indicators.
I then took of the bar end weights and put on bar end mirrors.
The best mod ever, the bike feels so much better, looks...
Hi Mate, no not yet.
Apart from the Duke forums I have only read a review from another Aussie who built a track bike
and used one of YSS top range rear shocks. He raved about it.
The duke forum responses are mixed, some seem really happy and some dont.
The YSS shock only had rebound, not...
Hi mate, I too found motorcross ones, but was unsure of fitment. Being able to return if wrong is fantastic.
I asked KTM at my first service about overheating and at that point the bike was stock as a rock. They explained that the normal operating temperature was 2 bars below the top of the...
Hi Mate, I too had trouble finding one in Aust.
I bought a Helix one from USA.

I filled my RC with engine ice coolant also.
My fan comes on heaps less, and is not on for as long when it does come on, as before.
There is heaps...
Hi Guys'n'Gals.
Has anyone had any experience with YSS Suspension?
I have included web links to rear shock and fork springs and preload caps.
I am not a track rider, just road use. I dearly love my RC but I do not love the back shock.
I feel it is lacking in damping, and rebounds too quick. I...
hI Mr Canyon chaser,
Thanks mate, I set mine to exactly the same for the same reasons.
My bike loves it, as do I.
I bought a cheap chinese "Akropovic". Sounded tinny and was slower.
Replaced that with a Delkevic, sounds better and through my "bum" dyno the bike has more mid range,
where you...
That is not normal. Firstly refit the standard exhaust and see what your top speed is then.
I have a 2018 model, i have an aftermarket slip on muffler fitted, top speed is the same as before.
Hi Brokenbuddha,
I am Dave, Sydney based, I too purchased a RC390 in August last year.
Likewise, I wanted a small bike and these are simply the pick of the LAMS bikes.
And the best value, mine was $6000 new, ride away.
This forum has been great for information and is my first point to go to...
Hi Guys' n Gals,
My name is Dave and I just purchased a new RC. At 56 I am the oldest RC owner on the planet.
A important bike for me as I have not owned a road bike for 10 years, my KTM Duke 640 was sold just before my daughter was born 10 long years ago.
First impressions, light nimble and...
