Hi,
Ive just bought my first RC390 and I love it!
I am short in the leg and could do with dropping it an inch.
If I tighten up the suspension coil, will this give me the result I need?
if so, what C wrench should I get (unfortunately no tools came with it)?
Thanks
I was wondering if anyone had a R6 shock that they wanted to sell. My KTM is a budget track bike for me and my wife would not be happy with me if I dropped a bunch of money on new suspension. Trying to make some upgrades as I am scraping case guards now and can't break the bank. I am about...

Hey everyone!
New to the forum, thanks for allowing me to post!
I am 5'4 and I tippytoe on the bike. Some people tell me this is OK and others tell me its not a good idea. The dealership I bought it from recommended to adjust the spring which will lower the height but I am worried that it will...
Anyone here been on a RC390 cup bike? I can get one for $3900. It'll cost about $2000 to do Andreani inserts and Ohlins shock on my stock RC390 (well... I have the Formula spring and R6 shock).
I want to know if the cup bikes suspension can be adjusted to be suitable for me. I'm 190lbs and I...
Hey guys,
I've been lurking around here awhile, gaining some insight on the RC390. Finally pulled the trigger on a salvaged title 2017 machine earlier this year and have been waiting to start getting it track prepped for the 2019 season. It had a minor lowside with only 193 miles on the...
Has anyone looked into a suspension set up from RACETECH? After looking for correct spring rates on the website, I see they offer a cartridge kit and a complete rear shock. I have had Gold Valves in my motocross bikes and they are worth EVERY damn penny. I see the other cartridge kits available...
Love My RC. Nothing wrong at all. Just stumbled upon the competition...

Let's start here:
Kawasaki's Ninja 400 ABS, a sport motorcycle made in Japan. Basic specs include a 399cc engine (from a 70mm bore and a 51.8mm stroke)...
I just finalized a sponsorship deal with a suspension vendor and will be switching my bike to a full Bitubo setup. The current cartridges and shock will be available as soon as they are swapped for the new. I am also having the current parts serviced by Velocity Calibrations in St Louis, so they...
Just had my tires swapped but when the shop put it back together i noticed some friction on wheel spin on the front, after a visual inspection I found this:
Does that look right to you? did the shop put this together wrong?
Thanks!
Manny :cool:
Anyone installed these themselves? I am pretty mechanically inclined and am more than happy to break a motor but have never done suspension before, but am eager to learn :) if anyone has an install video or better instructions that would be awesome!

Hey guys, I've been facing this issue since the last time i dropped the bike..
Bike slightly pulls to the left when I let go the handle.
It turns left fine but when I go into right corners, it kind of like restricts and bike feels like its loosing traction or about to..
What could be the...
Hi all,
I was able to get my cup bike out on 3 tracks the end of the season here in the east. Here's my questions for those tracking/racing:
1. I am sending out my suspension to thermos man for springing and valving but noticed a lot of chassis flex in the bike, i am not sure if that was due...
Suspension upgrades finished today, all settings dialed in on the rear. Did the r6 shock and the race tech springs. It made a an incredible improvement. Did some hard braking into corners....the brakes were ok before I had decent suspension. Now I can tell that there will not be enough there...
Anyone here have some feed back on K-Tech suspension components? I have a local shop that specializes in motorcycle suspension upgrades and tuning. They have done good work for me in the past. When I asked them about my RC-390 they recommended K-tech shock and fork cartridges. I have no...
I'm picking up my 2016 RC390 in a few weeks. I know that I will be upgrading the suspension. I've had premium suspensions on several bikes in the past. I usually get overwhelmed by the endless possibilities for adjustments (analysis paralysis).... I ride about 50/50 street/track. I don't race...
