rear

I am having issues with brake pulse with the new ktm 320mm rotor, I measured runout with a dial gauge and had 0.011". I removed the wheel, cleaned the surface of the hub off and the disc as well, retorqued and now i am at 0.005". I havent had a chance to ride since its dark out an raining...

I thought I would never go there, trying to improve on a bike that is already a blast to ride. Mind you, I’m accustomed to riding liter bikes for most of my life. The following mods were done mostly by myself: Front brake pads EBS FA606HH Driven rear sets Ohlins rear shock KT303 Race Tech fork...

So today I completed step 5 of my many planned upgrades and was really the first time I had a chance to really take the bike out and see how it felt. !. Akra pipe and tune - complete 2. K&N filter and airbox mod - complete 3. R6 rear shock build, install and tune for my weight-complete 4. Front...

Suspension upgrades finished today, all settings dialed in on the rear. Did the r6 shock and the race tech springs. It made a an incredible improvement. Did some hard braking into corners....the brakes were ok before I had decent suspension. Now I can tell that there will not be enough there...

This is just a public service announcement for folks who are running the Tyga rearsets... CHECK YOUR REAR BRAKE LEVER STOP ADJUSTER. I've just gotten my 3rd report from someone who's had the adjuster fall off, which then allows the brake lever to swing WAY too far up... So, look at the bottom...

can someone measure the push rod length on their rear brake cylinder? i need to know the exact length so i can make one of my own. apparently KTM doesn't supply that part, so if i want a new one i have to purchase an entire rear cylinder. here is the part i'm talking about: i need it measured...

Background - I quit racing 8 years ago, I used to race in the LW Twins class as an expert on SV650's and tried an air cooled Ducati for a season. I was usually finishing in 4th thru 7th place. I bought my RC last August and have been to the track twice so far this season. Tire info - The...

Hi all, First time poster here, although have been reading around for a while! I thought I would start this thread as a new leaf has turned and I've decided to drop even more money on my braaap machine. I've got a 2015 RC390, running completely stock (apart from a much needed tail tidy!). With...

Had my 3rd track day last weekend. Did some laps with the GoPro mounted on the rear, and it came out pretty cool. https://youtu.be/lvuV4Xmcoec

Hi All, I have a KTM RC 390 with Andreani fork cartridge kit in the front and Ohlins KT-303 rear shock. The Ohlins rear shock has an adjustable ride height. Last Saturday, my friend, who races 300cc motorcycles, told me that my motorcycle steers very heavy. He mentioned raising the forks by...

I installed the KTM folding clutch lever today and noticed something weird. I had the bike up on the rear track stand and when I started it up with the clutch lever fully depressed the rear wheel would spin. I would tap the rear brake and after that the wheel wouldn't start spinning until I let...

I've been building/working on cars for most of my life, but only now am I getting into more in-depth work on my bikes. Soon I'll be working on the forks, replacing the rear shock, installing rearsets, etc. My question is, what basic equipment do I need to get the job done? I assume I need to...

Hi everyone, first post. I searched for "Bent Brake Lever" and found this thread from last year. It seems like it's best to simply buy a new rear brake lever when it gets bent. I figured I'd write a new thread now to see if anyone else has had this experience and what the best fix is...

I have a few stock parts for sale. Have head light assembly, windscreen, mirrors, rear fender. I can get pictures of everything when I get off work today. Will also have stock belly pan and tail for sale soon, and hopefully depending if woodcraft gets done soon enough I may have stock rear sets...

Hi guys, as I've posted before, I have an insane and unhealthy obsession of grafting a twin disc setup into any bike I own. To that avail I want to swap out the wheels of my RC with those of either an Aprilia RS250 or an older generation Ducati. I believe either combination will be lighter than...

Just like the title said. I scraped and cracked my stock right one and want to replace it while I wait for rear sets. Im in Californa thanks! I used one of my rear passenger pegs and its was "close" but the angle is just slightly off. thanks!

I've read a lot of speculation on the rear shock overheating from being too close to the CAT/exhaust. Does anyone have any real experience with this? Here is my dilemma: I know the factory shock is garbage.... I am planning to upgrade ASAP. Am I just going to cook all the life out of a nice...
