    First Track Day complete and I'm stoked!

    Bought this 18 a few months ago and got it track ready and I was very pleased at my first track day at NJMP Thunderbolt. A few pics. This was only my second time ever on the track and I had way more fun on the RC than I did on my Street Triple last time. Can't wait to get out again. I need to...

    very occasionally ABS/CANBUS light

    very occasionally, I'll get this to come up on my dash for just a few seconds and then it goes back off again in a few more seconds. Like once or twice in a month or so. Its annoying and I don't want to get a real problem some day. I don't see any corrosion etc, or rubbed wires. No codes in...

    Chain Slack

    I have about 400 miles on my 2017 RC 390 and the chain is very loose and lower part of the chain touches swingarm if I move it; it was like this from the day one. Is it normal, if not how much slack it should have?

    Looks like the 2017's are starting to show up at dealers in the States.

    Go-AZ in Scottsdale, AZ had 3 come in today, one of them is going to me, not sure about the other 2. I'm sure this means other dealers are getting them too. I was kind of bummed about the Motorcyclst.com article from the other day Long-Term KTM RC390: Final Update | Motorcyclist and the run...

    Preseason Testing @ Hallett - 3/25

    My teammate (guy on the #23 Ninja 300) and I got down to Hallett for a little preseason testing this last weekend. Despite some morning rain and cool temps all day, we were able to have a productive day and it really helped to shake off the cobwebs from 5 months off! We put together a little...

    YCRS @ Buttonwillow Raceway

    Had the privilege of being part of the Yamaha Champions Riding School this week at Buttonwillow on my RC. I can say it definitely changed my life as a rider. They teach two main aspects: 1) How the best riders in the world ride. 2) How a modern motorcycle is designed to be ridden. As these...

    Do you need a track day hauler?

    I am replacing my 1997 E-350 that is set up for hauling motorcycles. It has tie down eyes bolted to the floor along with a welded steel box to brace the bikes against and chocks to hold the front tire of a motorcycle. Two sport bikes and everything needed for a track day (including a 10X20...
