fork

Has anyone installed the ohlins fork cartridges in their 2017+ rc390? I was in the midst of getting mine installed and they don’t fit. Ohlins states fitment to be 18-19 bikes, I assumed (being a 2017 model) that I bought the wrong part. But I checked the parts fiche with a local Ktm dealer...

Hey all, I want to change my fork springs and fork oil on my bike. I'd pay someone locally to do it, but they are all either scared to do it, or I don't actually think they know how and are just going to wing it. I don't want to pay someone to wing it, thanks. I just need a step by step so I...

What are the best fork kit and shock options for race and strictly track riding? I found the following options till now. Are there any other options? GP Suspension: $795 Andreani: $649 Matris: $985 K-Tech RCU Razor-R Rear: $795 JRi Double Adjustable Shock: $899 Nitron Racing Shock: $840 OHLINS...

Hey guys, I've been lurking around here awhile, gaining some insight on the RC390. Finally pulled the trigger on a salvaged title 2017 machine earlier this year and have been waiting to start getting it track prepped for the 2019 season. It had a minor lowside with only 193 miles on the...

I bought a used rc390 with andreani fork cartridge. I found that I can only use about half of the travel. I am 150 lb without gear and the spring inside the fork is 7.8 nm, anyone ve a suggest spring rate I should use and who ve them in stock?

Is it correct that you have to remove and disassemble the forks to replace the fork oil? Would it be possible to drill and tap a fork oil drain bolt?

KTM will not sell the individual fork assembly pieces you have to buy the hole fork. Below are the parts sheets for both bikes. They both have the same part number for the assembled forks, but the axel holder\foot\stanchion, whatever you want to call it, the black piece the screws onto the...

I put together a little video of some of the action that happens when these three bikes end up on track together. Unfortunately for me I ended up with a busted fork seal. So if anyone has any advice on how to deal with a busted fork seal and possibly a bent fork, let me know! <span...

I see a few threads on this but I want to get the correct answer. I see people putting anywhere from 400ml-460ml (recommended) in each fork leg. I also know that setting the oil LEVEL is more accurate. Whats the correct oil height from the top, compressed, springs out?

It blew a seal ("No, it's just frost on my moustache!" :cool: ) at about 3,000 miles. Both sides replaced by dealer, but they wouldn't cover it under warranty! Now one side is just starting to go again (one side has a ring of light dust on the stanchion, the other side has dark dust, which I...

My bike came with a set of fork sliders on it, i have never run them before, but don't mind running them. my issue comes in how the hell do i safety wire my axle nut now.. LOL

Disassembling the forks` Hi all, I thought I would give the andreani fork kit installation a try myself. I have drained fork oil, removed the outer tube from the inner. Now I'm looking at the inner tube cap. Is this cap screwed on? When removing the bottom mounts from the inner tube, are...

I've been reading here about tyres and stuff, so I thought I'd join up. I usually ride bigger bikes, but when I test rode the RC I was hooked. I still am. So far it's blown one fork seal, eaten a rear tyre in 3,000 miles and a chain in 4,000. Could be worse :-)

The Duke 390 comes with a rear shock guard and fork protectors in other markets but not in N. America. I've been trying to source them here in Canada and the US but it seems they're not currently available. The rear mudguard isn't applicable to the RC390 but the fork protectors are. The parts...

Anyone know if the RC125 forks are same as those on 390?

I decided to do the front of the RC390 and not upgrade to cartridges at this time. I am 208 lb stripped...228 with leathers. Would would recommend the 7 to 7.5 wt fork oil still along with .95kg springs for a track day/ street rider?

Im exploring other setups for a test. No right or wrong as the setting will depends on your own riding style. Please share the following info as well 1) Estimated rider weight inclusive of racing attire 2) Fork: Std or Adreani kit or etc 3) Fork Spring: Std or changed 4) Shock: Type of shock...

All, i had had my forks resprung and revalued for my 200 pounds. During the job it was noted that there were 3 spacers reducing the amount of fork travel in the cup bike forks. In my discussion with my suspension guy we agreed to remove 2 of the 3 spacers to gain some more fork travel. I'll...

I need to lower the front end of our Duke 390 more than what I can achieve by raising the fork tube in triple clamp (~17mm) - in order to balance out geometry change from lowering rear ~45mm with T-Rex Racing's lowering link kit...

Hoping someone might have a set of the Tyga fork ride height adjusters they want to sell? I've lowered my bike (raised fork tubes) but need a bit more to go with the 45mm drop in the rear. Post up or send me a PM with your asking price please. thanks Andrew
