Get the PowerParts seat first over any other upgrade. It'll make a world of a difference that you'll notice from the time you saddle up until you dismount. Then do the brakes/fluid, and coolant switch to Engine Ice. I put the seat as a priority upgrade simply because it's the one main--if not...

I run Bel-Ray Super DOT 4. The dry boiling point isn't as high as Motul 660, but I never boiled the fluid at the track either.

It's a 390. Shoulda known that before buying it. Ride it, enjoy it, and have fun doing it! You'd be surprised how well this thing handles. This thing is a surgical track weapon when a good rider is at the helm. I saw another rider lapping dudes on his track prepped RC.

I second this. I run EBC HH sintered pads front and rear with Bel-Ray Super DOT 4 fluid on my bike. It was a phenomenal difference and I didn't feel any brake fading on the track. Definitely change your fluid and pads. Brembo brakes are nice but outside of motorsports, they've grown to become...

I'm 5'10, 210lb. You'll do fine at that weight. Can't speak for the height though.

Yeah my buddy told me it won't be cheap there which is why he quit. FWIW, anyone in Southern California, stay away from Del Amo Motorsports.

My local shop wanted $1100 parts and labor. I said eat dirt and did the oil myself and waiting for a moment that I have the spare time to do the valve clearances.

I'd be so nervous lol. How often do they do track days like that?

I bought mine in the last few days of February and got the vouchers in the mail a couple of weeks ago. I think it's up to KTM and how far back you bought the bike.

I wouldn't know the quality of Austrian made ones, except for their dirtbikes and even that is limited experience. I can't complain about my 2015 yet haha.

I thought all US Spec 390s were Indian made. I still consider the 390 an Austrian bike, just how Ford and Chevy are still American [assembled] but manufactured in foreign countries (with exception to a very few models).

Stop spamming.

Aren't all 390s made in India?

06 WRX Wagon. Some people want exotics, I want a fast ass station wagon lol.

I couldn't either. It only suggests motorex 15w-50 and a note specifying any oil that meets the JASO specification will work.
