    New Guy

    Hello from Kansas City. Picking up a track dedicated rc390 tomorrow. Currently ride a 690 and a Multistrada. The 690 is about the most fun bike I've owned and I'm really looking forward to the 390 on the track. Currently on a SV650 for track but really don't mesh well with it.

    Riding off

    ...as in riding off into the sunset, so to speak. Haven't been that active on the board in the last more than a little while. Unfortunately that corresponded to the RC spending more time idle than it deserved. With that as a premise, the little beast is headed to a new home. I was apparently...

    How many track days on Dunlop slicks?

    I have medium rear (140mm) and soft front Dunlop slicks. I ride in B group and use tire warmers. How many track days would these last on intermediate pace? Does it make sense to use them till the wear bars? I know slicks are overkill, but I use them anyway for better grip.

    Track Prep Question

    Hey all - working through my mod list to get ready for my first track day on the RC390 (2018). I’ll be at RA in a few weeks but out of town for work for a bit... question - if I unplug / remove the blinkers, tail light, and headlight, do I get a dash warning? Is it a separate warning than the...

    How to choose the correct gearing for road racing.

    This may be a little odd as I'm not sure even how to ask the question correctly. First off I'll say, "I understand set up is always a compromise, if I set gearing to optimize one part of a track, it may detract from another". I'm a club racer and basically all my riding is done at one track. I...

    First Track Day complete and I'm stoked!

    Bought this 18 a few months ago and got it track ready and I was very pleased at my first track day at NJMP Thunderbolt. A few pics. This was only my second time ever on the track and I had way more fun on the RC than I did on my Street Triple last time. Can't wait to get out again. I need to...

    Thank you to Supporting Vendors!!

    I just wanted to give a shout out to the incredibly helpful supporting vendors and their businesses. Specifically, I wanted to thank Matt@formula390 I tucked the front during a track day this weekend and needed some replacement parts for a Tyga rearset. Through 8:00pm on a Sunday Matt was...

    I own a 2016 KTM RC390 in India and recently an Indian giant TVS has launched a bike jointly with BMW , RR310. the bike is more balanced as compared to the track monster the RC is.

    Engaging front ABS on track

    I engaged front ABS quite a few times on track after straights; I didn't even realized that I am braking hard and it didn't felt that I am braking hard, but the ABS still engaged. Is the ABS on 2017 RC 390 conservative, so it turns on before the wheel locks up? I am removing ABS, so I wanted to...

    Front Brake Lever touching throttle at trackway

    I am using my 2017 RC 390 for track. As the track day goes by, my front brake lever becomes spongy and the lever touches the throttle. I changed brake fluid to Motul 660 this morning in the hope that brake lever feel would get better. The feel is better, but if I put enough pressure I can get...

    RC 390 stalling on track

    I was on track yesterday and my RC 390 stalled a few times in turns on high speed. It felt like the rear wheel stopped for a moment and then started back again. I wanted to check if this is the typical RC 390 stalling problem or this could be something else? I recently removed the kickstand and...

    2017+ Track Bike Exhaust

    Looking for suggestions for a full or a 3/4 cat delete exhaust system for my 2017 RC track bike. Sounds like the stock exhaust will drag so this will need to get replaced sooner rather than later. I’ve searched on the forum and see that Tyga makes the only true full exhaust that’s an...

    Alternate side-stand for track days?

    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...

    New Wannabe

    Hello RC owners. My name's Paul and in Omaha, NE. I'm a long time forum lurker but I think I'm finally decided an RC390. I'm looking to get back into track riding after a few years off and narrowed the candidate for a track bike to a Ninja 400, an R3 or an RC390. I had several track bikes...
