Hi Guys!
Brand new to the forum and will be soon an owner of a 2017 RC390! Delivery is to be sometime April or latest May here in Canada in the PNW.
I have already started stocking up some parts for the RC! So far I have purchased the Helix Racing 1.6 Bar Radiator Cap, some Engine Ice, as well as some extra Break-In oil (Motorex 15w50 conventional - I will be changing my oil several times during the break in period).
MY QUESTION IS, since there is no major overhaul or change made to the RC390's engine since its inception, I suppose the oil filter as well as air filter for the 14-16 RC390's will also fit the 2017? Since I will be changing the oil before the 1st service, i will need to buy some oil filters as well (I will clean and re-use the strainers, and maybe put in new ones at the 1000km/600miles service). However, all the oil filter manufacturers have yet to update their part compatibility with the 2017s, so I am just a tiny bit hesitant in purchasing. I am specifically looking at the K&N oil filters.
Also, I would like to swap the air filter element for the K&N or BMC filter as well, but again, those manufacturers have no updated part compatibility as well for the 2017 RC390...
Anyone with experience know if those parts that fit/work on the 14-16' will do the same for the 2017s?
Many Thanks!
