    Questions from a new RC390 owner

    I have not tried any different gearing, but I agree that it feels too tight. Interested in everyone's input.

    Questions from a new RC390 owner

    I got the Galfer semi-metallic and also a big improvement, but the sintered may be even better.

    Steel Braided Brake Lines

    The fluid is a good call, still using stock. I did change out the pads a while ago for semi-metallic Galfers and noticed the difference. Bike still stops fine, just a lot of lever travel when it's hot. Will try the fluid and report back!

    Steel Braided Brake Lines

    I've read some discussions on here that mention swapping out the brake lines for steel braided lines to help the mushiness after hard riding, but then I saw others saying the bike already has them. When I ride hard, especially now in summer, the pull gets closer and closer to the grip and I...

    Found that TST made a close out for the rear, but stopped making it a few years ago.

    Texas Tracks

    This is exactly what I was looking for. Any idea when is reopening? My reasoning was mostly based around MSR Cresson. Bigger initiation fee and monthly dues and you have to pay per half hour you ride. Just seemed very restrictive for how much you're paying.

    Texas Tracks

    I know the obvious ones - MSR Cresson & Houston, COTA, but are there any off the wall tracks to go ride? Kinda jealous of all the CA kart tracks I see on YouTube. I'm going to need a lot of track time to get anywhere near decent and don't want to drop the membership cost to just practice at one...

    Ktm dies first start when 100 degrees outside

    Huh, just realized mine has done that a time or two in the heat this year too. Seems fine after a restart though.

    MNNTHBX has mirror blanking blanks. I'd be interested where you find the fender blanks.

    Hot Hot Heat - Or How to Cool Your RC390.

    I've read through several of the heating issues posts and consolidating some information here for those that may need an interim fix while their parts are on the way or waiting for time to tear everything apart. It's summer, so temps are 90 or 100+. Had no issues in the 80s (always 2 bars from...

    Best bang-for-buck modifications

    Can attest to the front brake pads... Bought some last week because of this thread and changed them last night. Holy crap, the difference is night and day.

    Can 6"5 tall guy fit on RC 390?

    I am 6'5", bought my 2017 Saturday 250 miles away and rode it back that day. Perfectly comfortable for a sportbike. Have put 150 miles on it since Saturday on twistier stuff and never felt cramped on the bike. The worst part of the 5 hour ride will be keeping it under the rev limiter in 6th in...
