track

This was my third session out and I was in a mixed field of novice/intermediate riders. Was held up by the guy in front of me since we were told not to pass in the corners. Well I'm on a 373 cc vs 600 to 1000 cc bikes. Once I finally got enough drive out of the corner I managed to break free...

I've never owned a bike with ABS before this one. I figured I would just disable it when doing track days? Honestly, after riding it, I don't even notice the ABS (even on the track), so I don't disable it. I have a completely STOCK brake system. My last couple track days the front brake has been...

All, I just picked up a 390 cup bike for track days and endurance racing. On the back roads it very fun, getting it out to the track next 2 weekends, can't wait. As you can see from my signature I have a few ktms, including 2 rc8s one for street and one for track. Tom

All, I just picked a 390 Cup bike for track days and there will be an ultralight weight endurance series in the NE next year. Anyone done any endurance racing on these yet? If so what kind of times are you getting per stint before refueling? Or what type of mileage are you seeing in sprints...

Hello Everyone! I've been browsing the forums for a while now but decided it was finally time to join the community. I've been riding motorcycles for over 10 years (mostly MX) but wanted to get in to road racing. I picked up a KTM RC 390 in May 2016 and have done a few track days since. I plan...

Hey all I am a new owner here in DFW, Texas. I was super pumped to buy this bike for taking to the track and then I started reading this forum, and some other things on the web, and realize this bike seems to have tons of QC problems! Now I am almost second guessing my purchase and wondering...

Here is a basic video from COTA. The track is very big, and smooth. I never expected to enjoy riding the little RC on such a fast track, but it was't bad at all! Also, I have to give a very special thanks to Matt at Formula390 for hanging out all day and providing such great support / company...

This weekend, RideSmart hosted their July trackday sessions at Circuit of the Americas. We had three RC390's in attendance, two of which are forum members: Edward Philips / EdwardP333: Shaun Guy / Roadminge: and Jeff Frazier (not on the forum yet): Temps were HOT, but the track sessions...

I was at Laguna Seca today for the world super bike races. As some of you may know today they ran the KTM RC Cup bikes. I walked the pits and took photos of most of the RCs. When I get back to my computer I'll upload and post them here for you to drool over. The race was good too. It was nice...

Track day through OPRT. Had fun riding with several other RC390s....which left me in the dust! Two laps at Pacific Raceways

I bought it this spring and have used it on 4 street rides. Most of my riding time is at the track where the stock seat allows better movement. $95 shipped anywhere in the lower 48, or BO.

Background - I quit racing 8 years ago, I used to race in the LW Twins class as an expert on SV650's and tried an air cooled Ducati for a season. I was usually finishing in 4th thru 7th place. I bought my RC last August and have been to the track twice so far this season. Tire info - The...

Ok so after mulling over whether or not to keep bike after the dealer fixes it, I've made the decision to convert it into a track day bike. I do recall a thread here that someone did do a conversion from stock to a track day bike. Some input would be appreciated as to directgion to take. I...

Hi everybody! So I have begun considering the RC390 for a designated track bike. I currently have a Honda RC51 which is very difficult to find parts for and would rather not worry about finding parts. I am also getting my youngest sister into riding and after she completes her MSF course I want...

I took my bike onto the track for the first time last weekend. Bike only has 350 miles on it. It ran really well for 2/3 of the track day and then going down the front straight in 6th I noticed the mph just dropping fast and my bike slowing down. I couldn't apply any throttle. I turned the bike...
