I think it's crazy how the mind works. I'm curious to know how other people get over that "hump." I put together a little video of how I most recently dealt with it.

I put together a little video of some of the action that happens when these three bikes end up on track together. Unfortunately for me I ended up with a busted fork seal. So if anyone has any advice on how to deal with a busted fork seal and possibly a bent fork, let me know!

Thanks! Funny thing is I've never actually done a trackday before. Only racing and practice days. But all of the other KTM and R3 guys I race with typically run A group.
So the inevitable happened and I took a little trip through the dirt with the rubber side up at about 70mph. I'm happy to say the bike faired pretty well! I still need to take a more thorough look but for the most part my T-Rex frame sliders did their job. Current damage total is about $140...
After two years of development and saving up for parts and graphics I finally finished my project and it was time to put both the bike and my skills to the test! The bike is a 2015 RC390 and it clocked in at 42.68hp on the dyno with 26ft/lb in torque. I'm curious to hear what kind of HP numbers...

So far I haven't touched my front suspension settings but I know a lot of the KTM guys down here are adamant about raising the rear and dropping the front to help with turn in. On the rear shock I set my sag and had a friend of mine who's really good with suspension help me dial in the rear. My...
Thanks for the compliments! EnergyHou, I'd be very curious to hear how the bike holds up in an endurance race. Are you guys planning on keeping the bike stock?
I started racing my KTM at the beginning of 2016 and the bike has progressed along with the season. I started out basically stock and the most beneficial mod I've made since the beginning has been the the suspension. Recently I installed the Cometic head gasket to prevent blowing a gasket (which...
