    Can Someone Help Explain "Limp Mode"?

    I took my bike onto the track for the first time last weekend. Bike only has 350 miles on it. It ran really well for 2/3 of the track day and then going down the front straight in 6th I noticed the mph just dropping fast and my bike slowing down. I couldn't apply any throttle. I turned the bike...

    Anybody got a 2016 yet?

    I ordered my 2016 last September..... My dealer has been saying "any day now", since February. I've never owned a KTM before, is this normal? Most manufactures get their bikes out in January-February. Getting impatient, I've got a (pre-paid) track day in three weeks, and still don't have my bike...

    How much gasoline do you typically bring for a track day?

    Hi everyone, I'm going to be taking my RC390 to its first track day at the end of May and was curious how much gas it eats up? Riding it hard on winding roads I can typically go 3-4 hours before I need to fill up (though my gas light starts to flicker around 3 hours). Curious how this would...

    Well, I woke up this morning and it was gone. So it looks like my bike was stolen last night. Had just over 200 miles on it. Got it about a month ago and it's been freezing. Terrible day. Let's see how Geico handles the claim.

    Track day at Auto Club Speedway, Fontana, CA

    I did my very first track day last Friday at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, CA! It was insanely fun and I'm hooked for sure. I was running 2:05s by the end of the day and from YouTube videos it looks like the fast Ninja 300 guys are running 1:55 so I have a ways to go but I figure that's not bad...

    Lap times for Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, CA?

    Does anyone have race results or some other indication of what competitive RC390 lap times are for ACS in Fontana, CA? I just ran my first track day there (my first track day anywhere) and got into the 2:05s. I figure I'm leaving at least 15 seconds on the table, probably more. Any idea?

    Old dog, new tricks....

    Hello All, I've been lurking a while here, and just created a profile. I have a Supermoto background. I will always LOVE riding Supermoto on the track, but a SM track bike is just a lot of constant wrenching..... Got to be a bit too much for my likes. Last fall, I took my wife 2013 Honda...
