Hi, Everyone.
I recently purchased a used 2017 KTM RC 390 at an amazing price with only 500+- miles.
With that said, I took it out in its first ride today. Five miles throughout the neighborhood, not exceeding over 25 mph in speed much at all during that time. For a couple city blocks I did...
I connected a OBD2 scan tool to my 2017 RC390 and got a code P0335.
After doing some research, the code is related to the crankshaft position sensor / ignition pulse generator.
The engine check light was on for a while but gone after a ride, bike seems to run fine.
Has anyone have experienced...
Guys, I'm posting here after too much of frustration with the KTM service for the last 3 days. Mine is a 2015 RC 390 and I'm hearing a very unusual clanking noise from the engine when I accelerate hard between 5-6k rpm's under load and vanishes off post that or less than 5k revs. This is not...
My RC 390 only shows correct engine oil after a ride, so I ended up with 1.8l of engine oil and now it's showing higher level after a ride. I was wondering if there is a way to drain extra engine oil without opening the drain bolts and how bad is to have 100ml extra oil on RC 390?
Considering another 390 (RC/Duke?) as the $3999 prices are just nuts on the 18s. I read a note or heard in a upyoutube vid that th ECU was restricted to lower RPM limiter until the 600 mile service, pretty much handcuffing you to the dealer. Is this true?
I was planning a fly n ride kinda...
Hello everyone, new rider here from North Carolina, USA. Picked up a used 2017 RC390 from the dealer 2 weekends ago, and finally had to chance to go pick her up and ride. I have ~15 years of experience on 2 wheels on the dirt, but I'm new to the street. Put in a solid 140 miles this weekend...
G'day Everyone , just wanted to say a quick hello and that i'm glad to be a part of this community. Picked up my brand new RC390 today and already went on a 100klm ride straight away today, WHAT A BIKE !!
Only MOD i did from shop was to get the Akrapovic Exhaust, but i'm sure there will be...
Went out for a ride around post and all was good. Then as I'm heading back home the bike just starts throwing itself into neutral and then acts like it down shifts then picks back up. Then it starts doing it repeatedly in quick succession. Feels like I'm riding a bucking bronco. Tried to ride in...
I ride my rc390 to work sometimes and it’s about a 30 minute ride on a good day so when I say a video on YouTube about a seat cover that make a bike way more comfortable I was intrigued has anyone dealt with luimoto on their rc or any other bike for that matter
I'm 16, and I've had my 2017 RC for 3 weeks and I got 1,000 miles on it. I'm in the heart of the Columbia River Gorge and this bike is great for Canyon carving. I love it but I'm wondering if sport bikes in general, because of the riding position, causes neck aches. if I'm on a long ride I...
I'm a pretty new rider (only had it for a few days) and I'm curious if there are any other rc390 riders up near the Sacramento area. If so I think it'd be awesome to meet up and ride together.
Here is a little insight into our in house special project, we jammed a big bore 690 into a 2015 RC 390. It was so succesful that it got 2nd in its first ever race! Here are a few specs to make you dream.
290lbs wet
70hp
60ft lbs
Uses all RC 390 spares
690 duke wheels and brakes 120/165

I just won an RC390 in a raffle. Now I have three bikes and that's one too many. I'm going to need to sell one and that makes me kinda sad. The KTM has been a blast to ride so far but reading through this forum gets me concerned about reliability and the problems I'll face as a try to turn build...
Hey guys my name is Brett. I'm a brand new rider from california. Finally bit the bullet and bought a bike after riding motocross for about 10 years. Wanted to introduce myself and let all know I'm open to any suggestions for my bike be it aesthetically or performance based. Ride safely!
I'm new to the forum, however, I've already managed to find lots of useful information. As of right now, I actually own a 2015 KTM RC8R. Unfortunately, I wrecked it a little over a month ago and did $15,000 worth of damage to the sucker, now I'm waiting for her to salvage out which leaves me...
So, met up with 2 other forum members for an impromptu ride today. It was the RC390 Club Ride! (You gotta understand, out here in rural BC it's not like there are a ton of these bikes...we figure we represented 3 of the 4 R390s in the whole area).
We had a good ride--lots of fun and zero...
So, I took a longer ride today, as I'm attending a trade show tomorrow. Packed up a coupla bags and strapped them to the tail, then set off on a route I know quite well (Hwy 6 from South Slocan to Vernon via Needles ferry, for those in BC).
I've been riding this road on my Buell Firebolt for...
