head

Hi, I'm new to riding and on a search for a good 300 series bike. I am currently looking into the R3 used and have the chance to pick up a 2017 RC 390 from a friend of mine . His bike has about 275 miles on it. My concern is reading about all the issues these bikes have and wondering...

My clutch cover was recently opened and as the mechanics didn't have a new gasket they replaced it with rtv on the gasket and the head. while returning home i saw the low oil pressure warning and started hearing noises from the head. next day when i opened the head cover i saw a few strands of...

I have a KTM rc390 ..been riding 900 kms after my last service..I changed my head gasket too...what could be the problem??

I have been racing this thing for 3 years now and i find i am just getting slower, mainly due to lack of confidence in the damn thing. I feel like every weekend i am hunting for some random issue. Last round all seemed good until 1/2 way though morning practice the bike just lost power and died...

Does my helmet make my head look big?

What a day! After warming the bike up and bliping the throttle, there was a horrible metallic knocking noise. After taking the engine out, I found that the bolt holding the timing sprocket on the cam had come loose. It has bent the cylinder head and cracked it, along with the valve cover. Has...

I think you guys are the authority on this topic but I’ve been out of the 390 game awhile. I got out in time but had doubts my 15 RC would go the typical 25,000 I like to use a new bike despite a sweet Chad tune and measures to keep it cool, in street sport riding. Anyway, my son called me...

I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction with actually being able to get headgaskets for a KTM 2017 RC390. I'm in Australia and i have had two gaskets on back order for a 2017 RC390 since 10th october as no one in this country has one in stock. Apparently it takes 4 to 6...

I am trying to use a head lift, but I'm not sure where the pin goes. Am I missing a part on my bike? I can't seem to find a reference to a part that belongs under the lower triple clamp. Thanks for any help. I'm an idiot. Its a plug. I don't need any help thanks and sorry...

Blew the head gasket on our new 2017 rc390 yesterday. I was aware of the problems and made a lot of mods (spal fan, rad cap, water wetter and pcv with richer map) to hopefully avoid it. Blew any way at just 3000 miles! I've read that KTM has an updated cylinder/head that resolves the issue...

Looking for some advice.One of my endurance racing team mates over rev'd the RC390 and it blew the head gasket. The shop that was doing the head gasket repair left the chassis outside in a heavy rain storm. When we went to race it next time the not all of the dash functions would show up. The...

A couple pieces of information that covers several areas. First for all of those who have asked the new high mount Ti akra system on the SSP300 is not and will not be offered as a KTM powerparts exhaust system, in the near future. There is limited quantity for the SSP kits being sold and only...

Had a blown gasket. Putting it back together with a pcv and a thin gasket from cj after straightening the head. Can't figure out where this sensor plug connects to. Help please.

Bike was having a helluva time staying cool and my last track day i thought i made had the head gasket issue. Got my bike down to chad on my way to Georgia and Alabama. He had the engine out and basically figured out the issues while i was still on the road! Stayed in touch with me the whole...

Dear fellow racers, I am curious about how the reliability has been with your track RC390? If you have had issues what are they? To start this off I have had a blown head gasket, valve retainers fail and take out the exhaust cam, and a piston crack in half. I am looking to see if there are...
