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...
I just wanted to give a shout out to the incredibly helpful supporting vendors and their businesses.
Specifically, I wanted to thank Matt@formula390
I tucked the front during a track day this weekend and needed some replacement parts for a Tyga rearset.
Through 8:00pm on a Sunday Matt was...
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...
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?

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.

Can someone help me with information on what fuses to pull before a track day? Pictures will also be much appreciated, as I still don't have a service manual. I was able to locate the radiator flush procedure on the Duke forum. Just picked up the 2015 RC yesterday and am signed up for a track...
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...
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...

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...
hey everyone, just got my RC 390 2 weeks ago!!!!!
Had 100's of track days on R6.
So I'm running A group 70% carrying decent momentum, going through very fast chicane (Portland International Raceway OR. Turn-7,8) and crash. (this chicane is simular to T1 at Auto Club Speedway, CA)
Wondering why...
After our journey down the coast years ago on our RS50's my best friend and I have been talking about taking the coast ride north. Now it appears this long time dream is coming to fruition and we will be heading out on our KTM RC390's September 17th and returning around the end of the month! If...
