    RC390 turned "cafe racer"

    I hope you're not the sensitive type but to quote an old saying ' beauty is only shin deep but ugly is to the bone' Son, you got a boner here.

    Exhaust Fitment, 2016 to 2017 Models

    On the 2017 the header is shorter than previous models and the cat is a horizontal extension to the header, before it goes 90 degrees down into the muffler box. It is the power bomb looking thing to be technical. Haven't actually weighed what I took off but it adds up, slipon, rear number plate...

    Exhaust Fitment, 2016 to 2017 Models

    The header is earlier model duke/RC so the o2 hole is right where it needs to be. The end of the header is parallel no cat bulge and would have mated with the belly pan exhaust/cat of the earlier models. I very pleased about the outcome. Cheers One

    Exhaust Fitment, 2016 to 2017 Models

    After waiting months for the Yoshi tail tidy to arrive, I finally got to fit the twin under tail system. As per any faired bike, stripping off the fairings is the initial challenge but once that's done, it was fairly straightforward. The muffler box was a bit awkward and once that was out life...

    Exhaust Fitment, 2016 to 2017 Models

    Found an earlier 390 header, waiting for the guy to confirm part number, $60 in my hands. And then the selection doors will open. Yoshi, Arrow, Akra...Had Arrows before, great, sound good, look good but jeez the double under tail Yoshi gives you mongrel just looking at it, oh and sound good as...

    Has the RC390 improved over time?

    Ended up with a happy deal from the local shop and its now is approaching 1000km service. Apart from a flat tyre it's been perfect. I dropped the oil and replaced the filter at 500ks. All sorts of crap in the screens, silicone gasket, plenty of variously coloured paint chips but not a lot of...

    Exhaust Fitment, 2016 to 2017 Models

    Header part on the 2017 is 938 05 007 000 whereas earlier models fror what I can tell we're 902 05 007 000. An earlier header could open up the product choice for exhausts. If the frames have not recently changed, they all have squeeze past the starter motor and then the difference would begin...

    Exhaust Fitment, 2016 to 2017 Models

    Anyone know who might have non cat, preferably under seat systems, ready for the 2017 models? Had some Arrow part numbers but couldn't intice any lazybay sellers to work for there sale, by looking and advising. Love the look of the under tail systems though. cheer One

    Exhaust Fitment, 2016 to 2017 Models

    From what I've gleaned in the past day, header pipes for duke and rc390 don't appear to have changed since inception, same part numbers through to 2017. So, I'm hoping to get confirmation that this is the case and existing(>2016) pipes will fit. 2017 'G' models are an evolution not a new...

    Exhaust Fitment, 2016 to 2017 Models

    Hi, Having a little difficulty establishing if earlier(>2016) aftermarket pipes will fit the 2017 RC390. Have been looking into Arrow Thunder and the twin under seat Yoshi systems without much success. Can anyone confirm if these or any other pipes fit from the earlier models. Want to get rid of...

    My RC Race build

    I'm interested, keep it coming. Keen to see what works and the best bang for buck. Bought a 2017 a week ago and been following this site for a while before coming to a purchase. still haven't got my head around the limitations of the narrow band sniffer and tacking a pcv, bazzaz, jd fueller...

    Has the RC390 improved over time?

    Thanks Rcdan, it looks a little like luck of the draw. Been to the local dealer who has a demo '15 and a new '17. Price probably fair on 17 but more than I want to spend. Demo(2015) $500 more than than a '16 from interstate, yes rego included. Giving the roughy a miss. In Oz the bike have 24...
