As funny as it sounds, I'm actually interested in seeing what your tire wear patterns are like. There's been some discussion about the shape of the 150 rear tire on this width of rim and whether running a 140 would open it up a bit and actually yield a larger contact patch and thus better...

So I have been POURING over rear shocks from 86 to 15, looking at possibly viable contenders for a shock swap for the RC390. Lets face it, the stock street (non-cup) rear shock... is total garbage. The WP shock is a possibility, but it's pricey for something that still isn't exactly reported to...

I discovered that KTM India does not know what grease is. All of the control pivots are shipped dry. Levers, shifter, rear brake, rear brake pedal to master cylinder. In the 1000 miles of riding with dry pivots galling had already started. After lubrication the front brake feels a million...

Any one has one for sale? or were can I get it?

I just ordered an inexpensive rear spool stand from Harbor Freight. It gets decent reviews, and with a lightweight bike like this should work just fine. Normally $50, on sale for $40, use Memorial Day coupon # 86028807 for 20% off (expires today). With tax & shipping it still came out to...

Now stocking EBC Double H Sintered Superbike brake pads, front and rear. $37.50 (per end) www.mnnthbx.com

What 10mm rear spools have you guys found? Trying to stay with delrin if possible. I see a bunch of china stuff on ebay. Just not sure if anyone has found and Kawi length sizes that fit since they seem to be primarily 10mm.

Hey all. I was having some correspondence with Paul from Tyga last night. He informed that his company will have a carbon race tail available in a week. (!) Check his site next friday 5/22 for availability. It will basically match the stock shape. He is also working on a more custom shaped...

I am no expert rider, Some what of a fast intermediate, but yesterday I had my first track day on the bike and I can tell you 2 things. The rear shock is total crap, and the brakes need more initial bite, maybe solved just with some lines and pads. I am in setting 9 in the rear shock, and I...

By now I am sure most of you have seen this: 403 Forbidden Although it kills it on the dyno, our ride finishes a disappointing third based on the reviewer's view of weak suspension (ostensibly caused by the position of the exhaust muffler so close to the rear shock, creating a heat sink - as...

The other day as I was wiping road grime off my rear shock after a good ride, I damned near burnt my hand on the stock suitcase of a muffler. That got me thinking, the rear shock is nearly on top of the muffler and all the heat coming off has to go somewhere! I felt the spring and it was hot as...

I'm having a little trouble securing the belly pan to the bike. Any pics of how it attaches? I've got the front mounted correctly but I can't figure out how the rear mount should be placed. Currently using a zip-tie to keep it in place..

I just finished three days at the track. The temperature was high 70s to low 80s. The track was PIR in Portland, Oregon. PIR was setup to go 9 turns and is a bit over 2 miles. Friday: This was a practice day. They were running three sessions; New Racer School, Medium, and Fast Experts...

Guy's I just signed up for this forum. I own a KTM dealership in Louisville. I'm not on the forum to plug my shop just to ask about interest. We have already delivered 4 RC 390's in the last week and we are very impressed with the product. We have torn a bike all the way down and are working...

Just a question to all RC 390 owners RE : Suspension I have m bike set up almost identical to Gazz on here I find the rear is lacking in rebound control due to no adjustment available - Does anyone else feel that the RC Is kind of too soft in the rear and springs back to fast causing a...

It's 70 degrees in Colorado and it's February. Go figure. Hoped to get the bike out on the track on Saturday - all we needed was 10 people to pre-register. Well that didn't happen so had to improvise. Kart / Supermoto Track on Sunday!!! Technically it's a track day, but it's not really...

There's been a lot of speculation on the RC390 and I have my hands on one in the US (I imported it for race purposes). It was supposed to be here in November, but due to some problems finding a shipper... well, it's here now. I have yet to actually ride it as it has been snowing & cold in...

Does anyone know the dimensions of the front caliper, and if not can someone that has the RC measure it? Nearly all of the thorough reviews have stated that the brakes are one of the bike's weak areas. Knowing the caliper dimensions is the first step in resolving the issue. :p The rear one...

My very first change will be the lower part of the clear windscreen, either with vinyl wrap or paint or stickers...........just looks cheap and unfinished to me. Then the solo seat, the factory seat setup looks good but I'm guessing it's heavy and I'm not going to ever have a passenger.
