    Slipper Clutch - On The Way!

    If I were a bettin' man... I'd wager that the models already in the pipeline will come with the standard clutch... And the models not already out the door will come with the slipper clutch... I don't think they're going to say much as they'll want to sell off the standard clutch models and I...

    Slipper Clutch - On The Way!

    Well...Speaking from personal experience....I have a single cylinder high compression 470cc dirtbike (Suzuki DRZ 400 stroked) converted to a Supermoto and I can assure you that it would be much better going into a turn with a slipper clutch...I'm pretty sure the compression is going to be fairly...

    Slipper Clutch - On The Way!

    Well...That's good news...However...I suspect that there's a good few 2015 KTM RC390s that are already in the channels and have arrived here in the U.S. already (in warehouses)...So...I'm going to "standby"....I want the slipper clutch and I don't want to spend a grand on an aftermarket...

    I'm going to the IMS this Sunday. Any questions about the RC390?

    But race track/series aside...The real competiton will be between the KTM and the R3...I suspect the twin cylinder R3 engine will greatly surpass the KTM single BUT the weight difference will come in to play in favor of the KTM...The true story will be when they are released and see how much...

    I'm going to the IMS this Sunday. Any questions about the RC390?

    Ask if the Slipper Clutch will be incorporated into this year's model (In to bikes that haven't already shipped).

    Slipper Clutch....

    Yeah I really don't think there's much of a cost difference between a normal clutch and a slipper clutch if it's original equipment from the factory...The inflated $850 to $1000 price for a slipper clutch is from an aftermarket company retail to a customer...A factory made or procured slipper...

    Slipper Clutch....

    Same here...I had three RZ350s from 1985 to 1992 (Two of them smashed to pieces along with a life flight trip for me).. The last one I must have been crazy to sell in '92 because I needed the money for something else..I kick myself now when I see what beat up RZs go for on Ebay (But maybe it...

    Slipper Clutch....

    Reposting since my previous post disappeared (?)... KTM thinking about adding a Slipper Clutch to the RC390... KTM to introduce slipper clutch on RC200 & RC390 | Shifting-Gears This is a very good idea as that high compression single cylinder is going to have a lot of engine braking... A...

    What are you planning to do with your RC390?

    I'm thinking this high compression single is going to have a LOT of engine braking (Similar to my dirtbike/SM)...So I'm thinking the first (best?) mod for the RC390 will be a slipper clutch...They've got them for the RC8 so I bet it won't be long after the RC390 makes it to the States before...
