    Did you ride today?

    Okay. This is sort of one of those "universal threads" that appears on a lot of forums. It's usually not all that weighty, but keeps the conversation going. So, I can't help myself; here we go. Here's the deal. Post (mostly) what'cha want, but talk about whether you rode. Basically the day...

    Wanted - Tyga fork ride height adjusters

    Hoping someone might have a set of the Tyga fork ride height adjusters they want to sell? I've lowered my bike (raised fork tubes) but need a bit more to go with the 45mm drop in the rear. Post up or send me a PM with your asking price please. thanks Andrew

    New rider, Vancouver BC, Canada

    Hey guys, Alex here, just picked up a used '15 RC last weekend with only 2500kms on it. First bike, still only riding around on my provisional license having recently completed a 6 day bike training course. Hoping to take my road test in the spring. RCs are pretty rare here, haven't ever seen...

    RC 390, Such a Looker......

    Got Her back form repair with a New Akrapovic race system and a Double bubble wind screen. Love this bike. Hope It keeps from blowing another head gasket because I was going nuts not being able to ride.

    Engine Light On - No Blink Code

    I've had three instances of this happening to me now: 900mi on the Odometer after riding about 150 miles: engine light comes on solid during a ride. Pulled over, turn engine off, turn back on again, engine light still on but no blink code. (this is with side stand up, ready to ride, by the...

    More overheating issues

    A dozen my of motorcycle friends and I decided to make our annual trip from Albuquerque to Telluride, CO to ride for three days in the Rockies. The bike performed beautifully on the 500 mile trip and did well keeping up with the liter bikes. The next day 30 miles into our ride the bike started...

    I think I'm done for now.....hopefully

    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...

    excited again

    So as many of you know, like a spoiled brat who had his favorite toy taken away, I was stomping my feet making a fuss and generally slandering this bike in every way possible in the past month or so. Well I've had i back now since last week and I cant believe how ignorant I was. First off I...

    Good ride

    By way of positivity-We got a minor break in the heat this afternoon (meaning sub-90 degrees), so I scurried out for a little less than an hour on the RC. My recent rides had all been on bigger bikes, so as it always happens, the small/light nature of the RC required some recalibration. But it...

    Ride height

    Anyone mind giving their ride height for the rear shock? Where you measure to and from ? Finally scraped a hole thru my belly pan and messed around with the shock and didnt mark my starting height. I know dumbass. But this will at least get me back close.

    Suspension measurement question

    Okay. I need the help of the assmbled brethren (and sisteren). If someone could take a measurement for me, I'd really appreciate it. I would like to know the distance from the seam in the tail piece (between the soft top and the hard base) vertically down to the top of the rear axle. Not the...
