edit: I'll stick something through the axle as I pull the axle bolt out and install each rearset
I'm installing the driven rearsets. I want to make SURE before I pull the swingarm bolt. You have to:
put the bike on the rear stand
put jack stands under the front of the swingarm so the...
I'm getting a static sag of 35mm in the front and 15mm in the rear. Rear spring preload is on the 5th setting.
Rider sag is 50mm in the front and 35mm in the rear.
Rear sag seems about right to me, but front sag definitely seems WAY off. is a static sag of 35mm normal?
Trying to decide on the rear sets for the bike. Will be track only set up. Besides the obvious price difference, anyone have any valuable input on which one I should go with?
Placed an order on these and only took 2-days Fed-Ex from Germany. These are the European spec turn-signals.The fronts come as just the L.E.D. bulb part that bolts-into your stock U.S. spec rear-view mirrors. The smaller rear L.E.D.'s replace the larger, O.E.M. incandescent bulb ones out back.
Anyone need a stock rear shock for experimenting on, or anything like that? I'd love to get it outta the garage. I have no idea what the thing is worth...100 bucks plus shipping?
It had about 300 miles on it before I replaced it with the Penske unit. Let me know if you're interested.

Hello,
I'm trying to find someone in Europe that would be willing to help me with the purchase of the rear-view mirrors (with built in turn signals). and,
the euro-style rear turn indicators for the RC390. Plus, help shipping to California.

after getting home from work i was inspecting my bike to find that one of the rear brake cables has melted onto the exhaust system as it was touching it.
Does anyone know how big of a problem this is? I intend to look it up in the manual but...
On my previous bikes the markings on the swing arm that allow aligning the rear have not been very accurate. Anyone have any luck with the RC? What method are you using to ensure front and rear alignment?
I wasnt sure exactly where to post this, but I bought a 43T rear sprocket to put on the bike and kinda like the stock rear sprocket color. My new one is natural aluminum and wondered if anyone knew if the stock one was powder coated or painted or what? Just wondering, I might make the new one...
Ok, so the debate has been does the heat from the exhaust affect the rear shock.
I needed to check my rider sag anyway so i decided to do a before and after. w my trusty 12 yr old assistant (my son) on the measuring tape heres the results.
Now, let me start by saying i weigh 185lbs. I had...
What are some setups being used? And where did you find yiur sizes? Im having a tough time on my normal go to tire sites. And then even saw a 150/60 Rear,V rear, 66W.
Hey guys, just a quick question.
I'm trying to soften the suspension in the rear for a bit of a smoother ride, I'm only 75kgs so what do you recommend? now the manual says turn the spring 3 clicks for comfort does it make that much difference?. Is that 3 clicks clock wise or anti? and do you...
I have the Ktm power parts race bellypan kit and it didn't come with instructions. I can figure out the front mount but can't figure out where the rear mount goes. Anyone have a you tube video on how to mount it? Or a photo of the mount?thanks.
