so I was torquing all the bolts on the bike after a longer ride.
I got all of it torqued and then I saw the little brass nut on the side stand. Tried to torque it, and I broke it off. Sad panda. I saved it. I figured it was a stop for the stand to not go up to far. Tried it, and it worked...
Understanding the value of removing the stock side stand before I regret not doing so, I nevertheless really want some way of supporting the bike when I stop. I'm not keen to seek out a wall to lean against. And when it comes time to put up the bike on a proper paddock stand, I again would...
Out on track today at Cadwell Park!
Positives ... the Samco hoses, Motul coolant and AS3 Performance rad cap worked to keep temperature down. Also new set of Pirelli DRIIs on working better than last time out on the Metzelers. ☺
Downside ... two days prior to going the paddock stand collapsed...
Okay. So.
Since I bought the bike I've had problems with the bike starting. I put the side stand up, and the bike registers that it's up on the display, however when I press the ignition button nothing happens at all. No sound, no attempt to turn over, nothing.
Usually I have been able to...
Hey guys we all know about the side stand issue. Mine was so bad the fucking kick stand bent and I couldn't get the large bolt back in so I ordered a new kick stand, bolt and nylox nut. I put blue lock tight on this time and stuffed it up. Then out the nylox nut on with some lock tight. Now it...
PROBLEM
One of two bolts holding the side stand onto my KTM Duke 390 came loose.
The side stand rotated, pulling on the side stand sensor wires.
The wires frayed and came apart.
The electronics in the motorcycle now read "Side Stand Down" permanently, even when the side stand was up.
Therefore...
Cleaning out the garage have a ton stuff to get rid of.

Any fellow racers figure out another option to the side stand delete without the cup removal sensor. :In canada the part is not available and to get it shipped from commonwealth costs me 2x what the sensor is worth. I may just saftey wire the sensor in place in the side-stand up position for...
Hi guys,
So i noticed that my bike is a lot more slanted when i put the bike stand down. I started noticing this lately specially when i am parked next to my buddies (RC390). The only thing that i can think of is, when one of my friend was showing me a trick on how to turn your bike around by...
The front triple clamp lift stand that I used for my Aprilia RS25 wants to lift the bike by the beak and that's not good. I have a fork leg stand as well but that doesn't work well with the single side radial brake caliper. Does anybody have a triple clamp lift that positively will work without...
I just wanted to confirm that the black "plug" I see where my front pin clearly goes for a triple tree front stand is in fact just a plug that will pop when I push the pin in. Anyone here have experience with this? I don't want to lift front until I know for sure what this black cover is/how it...
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...
Anybody familiar with this replacement tuner/ECU? Apparently it is a stand alone unit.
Hmmmmmm.

Could someone post part# of what they needed to get their RC off the ground? I assume I need a front and rear stand. Beyond that do I need to get an adapter kit to connect with the stand? Cycle gear or Ktm Powerparts?
Approx 1000 miles on new bike...today noticed sidestand seemed loose when we stopped for a bite. Crawled under for a close look and discovered the two bolts that mount it had backed waaay out allowing the entire stand assy to have lots of free movement. Luckily, the tool bag had the right...
Shopping for a front stand that connects at the steering stem. However the front fairing on the RC looks like it points downward a bit and could cause interference. Anyone know of a particular brand that works?
