Hi all, I know this is a topic that has been beaten to death on this forum, but I can't find the answer to this particular question. I did my first oil change recently. I had a bottle of Motorex 15W-50 4T Semi Synthetic at home weeks before my oil change, and when I went into the shop for an...

Today I was changing the oil, filters, etc....when I noticed a oil color difference in two alike liter bottles of Motorex? I use Motorex Top Speed 4T 15W-50 which meets the JASO T903 MA requirement in the owners manual. I use this type as my dealer doesn't carry the Motorex Formula 4T and the...

hello peeps! i was changing my oil this afternoon and found some goodies in my oil filters. i didn't see much in the realm of metal shavings, but instead a couple decent size pieces of rubber. i need some expert advice here. do i need to take my bike to the dealership for some serious...

PLEASE don't beat me up on this one........ (I'm new to KTM, and sport bikes in general)- How often are people changing the oil on these bikes? I know what the manual says, but that seems like a REALLY bad idea, and it's geared towards street riders only. I did the initial 600 mile oil change...

As the title says! Lol, this is to do with oil. I filled the oil up after draining it but funnelling it into the hole on the same side as the oil drain plugs. I then went to put the right hand fairing on and noticed the oil fill hole was actually on the other side. Will this be ok? I need...

This bike is sold.

I know, I know, another oil thread, right? Yes, I've used the search tool! Well, I've been putting off my first service for the last two weeks, which includes not riding....because I want to take advantage of a good deal. My friend just started working at Amsoil and will hook me up with motor...

Hello guys....sadly I am trying to sell the RC390 only because I got another bigger commuting bike. I bought this bike $7,000 OTD and I also had gotten gap insurance so total was $7,700.00. Meanwhile I put the Ergo Seat which was $124.99 + taxes/shipping because the OEM seat really pain in...

I'm picking up my 2016 RC390 in a few weeks. I know that I will be upgrading the suspension. I've had premium suspensions on several bikes in the past. I usually get overwhelmed by the endless possibilities for adjustments (analysis paralysis).... I ride about 50/50 street/track. I don't race...

Bike has now done 11500 Ks and have finally just sorted a stalling / running poor issue after 1 year of ownership thanks to CJ Wells and KTM performance. Ok so riding me from work today feeling really good that the bike is running like a dream - only to notice when about to park the bike in...

Does any one know of an oil cooler kit for the RC ?

I am selling my bike. Want the money more than the bike. Great Bike and I enjoyed every mile on it. All Stock beside the Pit Bull rear spools. It has 726 miles on it and that number shouldn't go up much at all. I currently have it put up for the winter. I also have 4 years remaining on my...

Hi All, I got a Husky 3/8 torque wrench for Christmas. It is rated for 20-100 FT LBS I want to do an oil change and need to torque to 8 NM Online conversions say this torque wrench will not work :( Please advise what torque wrench in the $75/80 range that would work for an oil change as...

My Rc390's 1st oil change -1000kms 2nd oil change - 3.5k kms 3rd oil change - 4.5k kms now i am running 5.3k kms. Should i do 4th oil change.? Note : Fast oil changing is bit costlier for me. HELP!!

Since I did the 600m service at my local dealer my bike has been leaking oil occasionally. I talked to the tech and he said if it was on the left side of the bike it was probably just overfilled a bit and after it bubbled off it would be fine. I have narrowed it down to only happening when I am...

Is this engine oil leaking or something from chain? HOW TO FIX? Note : Bike 2nd oil changed recently

Hello, MY RC390 FIRST OIL CHANGE DONE AT 1000KMS. NOW I AM RUNNING ABOUT 2600KMS, 1. SHOULD I GO FOR SECOND OIL CHANGE? 2. SHOULD I NEED A NEW OIL FILTER?

I bought a second K&N filter and when swapping them out I noticed quite a bit of oil inside the airbox? I've seen this before but not a puddle of oil, so my guess is that it was over coated with oil from the factory.

Hello all, I'm doing the 2nd oil change myself using Motul Synthetic 15w-40 and K&N oil filter. Questions: ► Im currently at 5500 miles. I'm guessing an oil change interval got skipped being that this is my 2nd oil change (1st @ 600 mi.) ► How often to replace the screens and O-rings...
