track

this was the first time i got to take my rc390 to the track. im not new to the track, but was pretty much almost brand new to this bike. i had maybe 200 street miles under me on it, and was able to hit 2 tracks in one weekend. this bike is a blast. and i was able to give a quick summary about...

Hey! i have finally finished putting the bike back together and tomorrow is my First track day on the RC. I spent years getting my R6 dialed in at the track and am looking for a good starting pioint if anyone has any? what have you set you sag to? i think i always set it to 32m front and rear...

Very interested in purchasing an RC390 as a second track bike. Currently ride an S1000RR. Thinking of getting a new 2017 when they become available. My RR is track only - not so sure I will go that route with the 390 - may start out keeping it street legal. I do about 25 track days a year-...

I have read a few places that people drop the front end. Thought i would see what others do? on my r6 i always had the front dropped about 10mm but was wondering what other do as a starting point for the Rc. first track day here is about 2 weeks away and i am madly trying to get the bike...

Hey guys, Looking forward to spending some time here on the forums. I recently picked up a 2015 cup edition RC390. Barely used. Going to use it to compete in a 300cc series my local race track is putting on this year. My other bikes are a 2013 BMW S1000rr and a 2012 Aprilia Tuono V4 APRC.

Im in the process of setting up my bike for dedicated track day work My first track day was with a stock standard bike apart from exhaust. I had a great time feeling the bike out but with stock metzeler m5 tyres standard pads and suspension, pushing the boundaries wasnt on the menu Im...

Can someone help me with information on what fuses to pull before a track day? Pictures will also be much appreciated, as I still don't have a service manual. I was able to locate the radiator flush procedure on the Duke forum. Just picked up the 2015 RC yesterday and am signed up for a track...

Had the privilege of being part of the Yamaha Champions Riding School this week at Buttonwillow on my RC. I can say it definitely changed my life as a rider. They teach two main aspects: 1) How the best riders in the world ride. 2) How a modern motorcycle is designed to be ridden. As these...

**Side note I am probably like most of you guys and been riding for 30+ years with far too many bikes come and gone. But this is my smallest bike ever owned and I'm looking forward to it more so than many others that have passed through the shed :) Took my little beast up my local hills to...

Hello Everyone. i've never dealt with a motorcycle clutch before, so i thought i would pick some brains here before taking things apart. i started feeling looser play in the clutch while at the track yesterday, and it kept getting worse. it basically felt like there was less and less...

Guys, what is this for ? KTM Store :: KTM Street Powerparts :: RC390 :: R-Parts (Street) :: KTM HANDLEBAR STOP PROTECTOR SET are they really necessary for track days and racing ?

Used for one track day, setup with 200lb rider. Shock was rebuilt and it works incredibly well on the track, no more pogo stick. Willing to part with this setup for a loss. First offer of 375 obo plus shipping takes it. IGNORE THE ATTACHED THUMBNAILS BELOW...NO IDEA

I've signed up for a RideSmart track day Sunday March 5 at Cresson and would love to have some company!!!! It will be my first official track day on the KTM and I'm excited. It's a little prep for the xmas present my wife bought me. She bought me a California Superbike school package for...

No longer for sale.

Hey everyone! Just throwing an idea out there as this was something we used to do over on Ninjette.org when I was racing Ninja 250s. Since some of us do track days and race at the same tracks, it would be fun to keep track of our personal bests and compare them to other people on the same bikes...

Hello I modify my RC for track but want to keep it still road legal. I'm planning to use TYGA front fairing, then I have a question : if I simply add holes, is it possible to mount the stock mirrors? (I plan to add lamps to the mirror in order to have high/low beam anyway, and remove them for...

Hello I had the feeling that my right handlebar is slightly bent, following a low speed fall on track. Nothing serious. Then I looked in parts catalog, and I extremenly surprised by the comment : I did not know that 2 models of triple clamp and handlebar are existing, and that the handlebar...

I'm a long time rider and starting to look into track days. I've got a handful of first gen GSXRs and a 93 900ss, some of which will probably be sold to make room for an RC390, maybe two if the wife stays as interested as she looks. The intent will be to use RCs for track days only but we'll see...

ladies and gentleman. &' here at NJMP on my first ever track day. Taking ART 1 and I feel a lot more comfortable with my bike except I almost died lol. On turn 8, my front tire went and did its out thing while halfway leaned over(still a baby lol). I was going about 45 and I ran off about 30ft...

I am replacing my 1997 E-350 that is set up for hauling motorcycles. It has tie down eyes bolted to the floor along with a welded steel box to brace the bikes against and chocks to hold the front tire of a motorcycle. Two sport bikes and everything needed for a track day (including a 10X20...
