Sorry for the late update guys. I’m just in shock still I guess. AFL finals here in Aus so work is absolutely hectic. Head gasket is leaking and so is the water pump. If I go for the repair (2k AUD for both). Then I will have spent more on repair than the bike is worth. Mechanic says the bike...

Well i'm back with another problem... I got my bike back from my mechanic a few days ago and had a ton of work done on the bike. Including rocker cover gasket and a general service. When I pulled up at home after a totally normal ride the bike started to spew out a ice-coffee coloured liquid...

Hey guys sorry I haven't updated. Ive had some intense weekends with a birthday, gastro and a spartan race. Back in it now. Heres my update atm: bike is stuck in the shop due to failed welds letting unfiltered air into the engine... Thats what ive been told so far hopefully should...

Im jealous Eddy! Sounds like a great solution to the exhaust! Packing is ordered, will hopefully have it in sometime in the next two weeks!

It was heaps quieter! With the Werkes exhaust it can be pretty embarrassing to get up to speed, I usually ride around in 5th to keep the noise down. Once packed you could go full throttle and the noise level was totally comfortable! I could sit in third at 60kmph and it was great! It still...

Hey everyone! I've been fiddling with my Werkes exhaust for a while now. It was originally shipped to me with no packing whatsoever and when I contacted Werkes (through HardRacing) they said they would send me a repack kit. I did that repack, and later on another high temp ceramic repack and...

After replacing my throttle body i've switched the filter over to K&N. No issues so far after 6 months or so of daily driving. Can't recommend it enough.

Just and update for everyone. I seem to have fixed the issue after many many months of not doing a lot. After replacing my throttle body under warranty, using a K&N air filter over the BMC and getting a good tune done for the bike everything in smooth! The main issue was a giant gap that had...

I spent so damn long trying to figure this one out! Holding the windshield fixed my rattle so I tore that out tried foams etc nothing worked. After breaking everything down I found it was those stupid goddamn plastic rivets in the windshield! I replaced mine with the orange ebay ones and problem...

Would have spoken to them within the last month.

I also got my bike new from Peter Stevens in the city. They guys at the service center always tell me the map is not available and has not been release yet. Maybe you could find out for me why they refuse to do it? Perhaps there is a genuine reason. The guys at Peter Stevens have always been...

A word of warning to anyone in with the Australian model bikes, I don't know if this applies to the American or European bikes, the BMC air filter is NOT suitable for the RC390! The BMC air filter is made from a hard non-compressible plastic whereas the K&N and stock filter are made from a...

So bike has done a day at the workshop and I have the culprit. First up the company that did my first service on the bike did not replace / fit correctly the gaskets under the rocker cover when adjusting the valves in first service. So the engine is leaking oil... My mechanic has said it will...

Ill give my dealer a call when I can tomorrow and demand nicely the akra map and see if they have any ideas about resitting the whole airbox. I think connecting that back to the throttle body might be a little bit beyond my mechanical knowledge. I pointed out the leak last service and they said...

Culprits So I bought some carb cleaner today and went and sprayed around the bike. The only time the revs seemed to surge was when I sprayed the pinhole in the exhaust pipe. That was when the bike was cold, once the bike had warmed up it didn't surge again. Now I noticed that I could see my...

Thanks for the reply Matt. I see you don't favour the Werkes exhaust too much! I've had a serious issue with mine where the entire thing has faded and just looks awful due to it not having the correct packing... I love that sound though! Tomorrow's plans are to replug the ECU and the O2...

Possible Culprits So I pulled the LHS fairing off to get a look at the whole pipe of the bike, i'm starting here because I think its the most likely cause of the possible leak. I sprayed from the slip on to the headers and found a few possible points where there may be a leak that I further...

That very well could be it. On deceleration the exhaust does make a popping sound and the occasional backfire. Maybe when I removed the stock exhaust, which took a LOT of brute force the manifold was damaged. To find a manifold leak I need to bring the bike up to temp and then spray around...

I've owned my RC390 for one year now and loved every second of it, so much so that I'm going to keep the bike even after getting my full license. As much as I enjoy the bike its the little imperfections in it that drive me insane! The first things I did to the bike was fix EVERY little rattle...

I have heaps of experience with the bike going down on the left side! I've downed the bike on the left side twice now... It does take a crash really well. Once was due to the side stand falling off, which resulted in ignition cap getting damaged (very minor) and the handle bar ends + mirror...
