fan

Hey so I don't normally post and I know this could/should go in the technical forum, but I think this one is important. Many of you have notice by now that the RC390 is not, actually, Ready-To-Race. In fact it's not even ready for particularly hot weather. There are three problems that I had...

Hi, Everyone. I recently purchased a used 2017 KTM RC 390 at an amazing price with only 500+- miles. With that said, I took it out in its first ride today. Five miles throughout the neighborhood, not exceeding over 25 mph in speed much at all during that time. For a couple city blocks I did...

Got my bike apart today to do a handful of mods including swapping to the SPAL fan. A couple of observations and a question... My 2018 doesn’t have the fan shroud I’ve seen on the earlier bikes, when did they change, 2017? Did they also upgrade the fan making the SPAL swap not necessary? Seems...

Does anyone have a diagram or tutorial how to install a manual fan switch? From what I understand you just run it off the battery >fuse> switch> fan power. It is for a track bike and currently my fan is kicking on pretty much right as I park the bike after a session. Would like to run it when...

Hi all, so it's happened, the radiator fan on my 2015 has decided to stop working on me, got a bit warm sitting at a stop sign the other day, so decided I'm not mucking around iv ordered the spal fan to upgrade, and plan on changing to engine ice as well since its drained. While its apart I'm...

Hullo from South Africa! Quick one, my KTM RC390 radiator fan has died. In South Africa we wait months for parts half the time and I am looking for an aftermarket fan. I've read a lot about SPAL being the preferred replacement but this is where my issue starts. What I would like to know is...

Sold. Sold. Sold.

I'm curious, has anyone installed a manual fan switch on their rc390? I'm not worried about the bike why i'm riding it, its when you cut power to the bike, the fan doesn't stay on. If I turn power back on after riding it then parking maybe a minute later, i'll notice it sometimes will be...

Looking for swingarm toe guard similar to the Evo Tech but ideally at a better price (C$ is weak compared to US currently). I'm not a fan of the aesthetics of the R&G orange ones... https://evotech-performance.com/products/ktm-rc-390-toe-guard-2014-onwards Any others that folks are...

Hi everyone :D I thought as I am home early and its not to hot I would do my fan and coolant change today.... Just letting the bike cool down before I put the last flush in ,, the new fan came on and it was only on for 15-20 seconds then went off ,, fantastic.... The other day I started my...

I can not understand why its so hard to get hold of now ,, I have been everywhere for it ,, Wicks ,, B&Q ,, supermarkets.... Nothing so I have had to order it from the bay... I can get De-ionised water ,, man in the shop said its the same thing ,, I said its not... I was rather hoping to do my...

bike was bought new Aug. 2016. I bought it used Feb 2017 with 214 miles on it..runs hotter then most bikes I've owned so changed out the fan and removed the plastic veins in front of the radiator ....when starting to go for a ride the heat comes up to 7 bars on gauge....temp in 80's outside...

New in box spal 5.2 inch puller fan. This will solve the overheating issue with the duke / rc390. Sold my bike before I could install. Asking $50 FIRM (read: not negotiating the price) via USPS money order of paypal +3%. Shipped for free to the lower 48. PM me if you are interested...

**Side note I am probably like most of you guys and been riding for 30+ years with far too many bikes come and gone. But this is my smallest bike ever owned and I'm looking forward to it more so than many others that have passed through the shed :) Took my little beast up my local hills to...

I have never run a fan on a race bike before. Always removed to save on weight, but i have heard about the Rc's overheating so does anyone not run one? any issues? I have the bike apart and now would be the time to remove it if i am going to. Thanks! -jason

Live down under in Melbourne. Got my RC back in August. Had a little YZF-R15 150cc which wouldn't do 100km/h up a hill or in to a wind. 100 or 110km/h being the legal limit over here. Was saving for something like a Street triple as the next post-learner's but saw a dealer throwing out their...

I just ordered this thermostat switch upgrade, In description it says "starts the cooling fan at 88C/190.4F instead of the stock 105C/221F", Has anyone try this in the rc 390? I just ordered the spal fan and samco hoses too, want to make it run less hotter cause all day in traffic...

Hi! I'm 44 years old, in France. Fan of motorcycle, mechanic, restoration or old motorcycle. I'm fan of carbuterors ... but my job is project manager for motorcycle EFI system (direct competitor of Bosch system used on RC 390) I plan to buy a RC 390, if possible almost street legal, but mainly...

Just a random thought. Fan is Ecu controlled, so ktm knowing about all the head gasket issues should do an update on the PCM to lower the temp at which the fan comes on. Seems like a super simple fix. Drop the fan temp on time to 90 deg or something. Maybe that would aid in the longevity of...

So it finally happened to me, the OEM fan has failed on my bike and it sounded like a baby seal dying during the process. Now that my bike is over heating I need to replace the fan (that I could do under warrantee) with something. Everyone has said that the SPAL 5.2 Inch Puller Fan is the way to...
