    Dealer rant...

    OK, this is nothing too major, but... Recently, started getting the "Service Not Reset" notice on startup. Looked up the owners' manual online (I'm still waiting for a manual, never got one with the bike), saw that there's an "initial service" due around 1000 km. As my RC390 is a new bike, I...

    Impromptu ride

    So, met up with 2 other forum members for an impromptu ride today. It was the RC390 Club Ride! (You gotta understand, out here in rural BC it's not like there are a ton of these bikes...we figure we represented 3 of the 4 R390s in the whole area). We had a good ride--lots of fun and zero...

    What a blast!

    Chain adjuster lock bolt?

    Just got my new RC yesterday--and it didn't come with an owner's manual (dealer has one on order for me). Going over the bike last night, I noticed some threaded holes in the rear swingarm; two of them are directly above the chain tensioner slides, and look like they might be for a lock bolt...

    Old fart

    Not an RC owner (yet). Not a racer. Just an old fart with several decades of riding experience. Started riding in the late 70s, got hired as a riding instructor in the 80s, then hung up the helmet for a decade before getting back into it around the millenium. Currently own two bikes, a...

    Considering...

    Hi, all. New here. I'm considering an RC390 as my next purchase. I've been riding for a long time (hell, I was a riding instructor in the 80s) and I've always owned either standards or sportbikes (definitely not a cruiser guy). Current bikes are a 2003 Buell XB9R Firebolt and a Yamaha XT225...
