    Nightmare RC390

    The problem persists despite assurance from my dealer they have done everything they can and with their communications with KTM (UK) they say the bike is running perfectly . One comment here suggested I steer clear of the dealer but I am bound legally as the dealer sold me the bike, for them to...

    Nightmare RC390

    I sent my video to my dealer who I bought the bike (so the comment don't go near your dealer again is not helpful because legally I have no option). To my shock the dealer and ktm withdrew their offer of compensation and stated there was no fault with the bike in a "without prejudice" email...

    Nightmare RC390

    Interesting. I have no idea what the dealer has done. I have asked them to inform me and nothing has been forthcoming.

    Nightmare RC390

    Yes its a fabulous looking fabulous handling bike on the open road but my UK machine only just twelve months old has been back at the dealers for about six weeks now trying to solve a stall issue - in busy traffic at a standstill it suddenly cuts out, not always but enough to be both a hindrance...

My garage tells me its just an oil change, chain check and general tightening up all round. On a new bike I would expect the first service free but that is not o be. A bit of a...

    Hi I have just joined

    Hi, my name is Jez and I'm based in the west of England and took delivery of the RC390 in early October 2014, one of the first in the UK. I have never owned a KTM before and heard rumours of unreliability regarding their road bikes so I am keeping my fingers crossed. I am a woodworker and film...

    Sign of a good forum!

    I have recently joined as I have an RC390 and I am new to KTMs generally . I've waited many years for a 400 road race bike to appear in the UK so I almost bought this bike without hesitation but what is my blood is cafe racers and when I can dig them out I shall post some pictures of my Triton...

    Being a single

    A very good question. You've touched a raw point with me! I am not an expert and have no experience of KTMs and when I took the plunge and bought one of the first RC390's to arrive in the UK last month I got the feeling on my limited research that a lot of the off road competition bikes are...
