    Minimum Mods for Track Days

    Okay. Brake Pads Tires Shock Rearsets I think I can handle that.

    It is funny, the Ninja 300 forum has a lot of beginners. This forum however, seems to be mostly occupied by trackday junkies.

    Yup, I have a Kriega R20, it's amazing​, I highly recommend it.

    Minimum Mods for Track Days

    Nah, I've been there before. The reason I ask is because with my current bike, 2009 FZ6, I was very limited in how fast I could go before I got rearsets. Once I got rearsets I got considerably faster. I actually tend to have my foot maybe a little bit too far out on my pegs causing it to hit...

    Minimum Mods for Track Days

    My organization doesn't require water for coolant, at least not in my group. Suspension for sure helps, but is it necessary? Also, is there a cheap alternative to spend thousands that would get it 95% there? I know I could splurge on the WP Cup bike suspension, but maybe I'd like to do...

    Minimum Mods for Track Days

    Just curious, what do you guys think the minimum mods are to get the RC390 track day ready? Obviously you can just roll it off the show room floor and run it, but is there anything that's so bad it needs to be fixed asap?

    Balance Bikes | 2015 Lightweight Sportbike Comparison Test

    Interesting comparison. I like that they pointed out what each bike was good at rather than just ranking them.

    Those are gorgeous photos. You don't happen to have high resolution versions you would be willing to share? I'd love to put them into my RC390 wallpaper folder.

    I'm glad I'm not going to be an early adopter with this slipper clutch uncertainty.

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

    Well... I think that's just the style of bike that's popular with that crowd. Let's be honest, the RC or any sport bike doesn't exactly make a good touring rig. That being said, I'm young and in great shape. So I can spend all day riding around on a sportbike. At any rate it's still fun to read...

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

    Yeah. That's my favorite motorcycle forum, although I mostly just lurk over there. I mostly just read the ride reports and live vicariously through them. Except for the track, there's not much good riding in my part of the country. Anytime I want to hit some good roads it usually requires an...

    New from Illinois

    Last weekend at the Chicago IMS I stumbled upon the RC 390. I had previously read about it, but never really gave it much thought. I got to sit on both the cup bike and the regular street going variant. Needless to say, I'm impressed. The build quality isn't quite what I would want it to be, but...

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

    Well I sat on one today, I think I'm going to take the plunge back into a small displacement machine. I'm purchasing a home in june, so I'll be looking to get one after that. I wasn't too sold on the triple setup (with it being part of the handlebar) and you can tell that it's a budget bike...
