I understand the 2016 Cup bikes use slightly restricted tuning from the factory to approx. 38 bhp. Is it possible with just a power commander/dyno to open up the power a bit on the exact same exhaust?
Or would you have to at least remove the cat on that Akropavic to open it up further with a...
I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction with actually being able to get headgaskets for a KTM 2017 RC390.
I'm in Australia and i have had two gaskets on back order for a 2017 RC390 since 10th october as no one in this country has one in stock. Apparently it takes 4 to 6...
This bike came to us with a mild super sport setup and we made a few gains! This bike is a high comp, closed airbox, K&N filter, Yosh pipes, Ti retainers, PCV, with a fair bit of Gray Area special sauce. This bike is on track and absolutely destroying it!

She's awesome. First bike too! I'm a bit short with like a 29" inseam and feel super comfortable. Hot as hell out here in Phoenix so I need to get a venty jacket & pants. Mine is a bit loud with some vibration noises (if anyone has a clue where I should try and tighten to fix please let me...
So I am not crazy about the height of the stock handlebars and want to put clip ons on to get a racier position. From what I can see the lowest I could go with true clip ons would be about an inch because the throttle cables will hit the fairing ,I wonder if that little bit will make a...
First long(ish) ride today, over a very good road through the Monashee mountains. Absolutely loving the RC! But...seems every time I glance down, the red "shift" light is flashing at me! Anyone else with this problem? :p
Plus, what's up with the "Low Fuel" display? Comes on, says I have 57...

Guys I took my bike to the ktm dealer Tuesday to have the valves adjusted so I can at last ride my new bike now ,,, I took it over there in a van my boss kindly let me use.

Hi Everyone,
New to this forum but have to ask the question. My daughter has just got her learners and is riding her mothers Sym 300 scooter which is ok but not real cool, at all. As well acknowledged the Ninja is cool and has been for ages. But I'm a long time ktm dirt bike man decided to...
I've been intrigued by these bikes since they came out and there's a dealer ride opportunity coming up in a two weeks that's relatively close by, as well as a well provisioned dealer (NC shop, etc) about an hour or more south of me. If I can sell off one or two of my other bikes this winter (I'm...
Can anyone provide some info on the model year differences. Thinking of buying one of these bikes and can still get new older model year for quite a bit less.
After my first track day with this bike I found myself sliding around quite a bit. I wondered what other riders have tried for tank pads to add grip. Any recommendations would be great, thanks!
Had a little time to make a proto type piece here to verify fitment and check operation. I am using Frank's captive spacers in the front wheel. Please give me some feedback and or interest in it so I can get a price on having some CNC'ed. Works very well, just loosen pinch bolts and axle and...
I think I probably would have stayed with the more stock bodywork, but I have to like what they did with the engine mod. :)
Apologies if this has been posted already. I did look around and search a bit first. :cool:
I should probably wait a while to post this--like once I have it actually mounted on the bike, but ah, well...
There's a bit of a story that goes with this little treat. My friend Greg got me checking out the Tyga website. I noticed that they make some parts for an Aprilia, but the model number...
To start off, I've got about 1300 miles and counting on my RC390. I live near San Diego, and regularly like to go hit up Palomar mountain and the surrounding areas that are in the 3000-6000 foot in elevation range. When I first got my bike, I took it to the top of Palomar (6000ft) and it puked...
Stunt rider Robbie Maddison figured out how to do that by trial and error. He talks a bit about it in this short BBC video The motorbike that can 'surf' on water - BBC News
And here is the finished 4 minute HQ video Pipe Dream which is the result...
Shopping for a front stand that connects at the steering stem. However the front fairing on the RC looks like it points downward a bit and could cause interference. Anyone know of a particular brand that works?
Try beating this for embarrassment!
So I collect my brand new RC and manage to drop it in front of the dealership gates with the entire staff watching!!!!!
Luckily the only injury was to my pride. Lol
With hindsight I blame it on the swine flu which I think was brewing and was making me a bit...
10 years after selling my last bike (2001 sv650s) I am returning to riding. I am having a lot more nervous feelings about it now that I have made the decision and the day approaches when the new bike arrives. Memories of some of the close calls I had with unattentive cagers have started coming...
