    Swallowing my pride....

    I have been very active on this forum for the last 18 months..... I had never owned a KTM until 13 months ago. Initially, I was THRILLED with my 2016 KTM RC390... I had a "good one".... I had no "issues" with my bike that was used 50/50 track/street. I'm 48 years old, and realized I'm too "old"...

    Lots of aftermarket parts

    I ordered a 2017 Duke, so I pulled all the aftermarket parts off my 2016 RC before I sold it. I got tired of waiting for the Duke to arrive, and bought a 2017 Yamaha FZ-07 instead. All these parts need to go. Everything is priced to sell, and FIRM. I will include shipping in continental United...

    Tired of waiting?

    Is anybody (other than me) tired of KTM dealers over promising, and under delivering???? I ordered a 2016 RC last year. I was told it would be arriving in February 2016..... It arrived on May 19th [emoji35]- I recently sold it (due to my 48 year old body being too beat up to ride it effectively...

    Throwing in the towel.....

    As much as I HATE to do this, I'm probably parting ways with my beloved 2016 RC390. My old body just can't ride it effectively on the track anymore. I've had chronic neck pain for 10+ years, from poor choices I made in my twenties. My range of motion doesn't allow me to look up/through the...

    Who LOVES their RC390, and why?

    I read this forum daily.... There seems to be quite a few negative posts about owners that are NOT happy with their decision to buy the RC390. This negative cycle is getting me down, so I thought I would start a positive post. I bought my RC with eyes wide open. I read this forum daily, for...

    Brake help?

    I've never owned a bike with ABS before this one. I figured I would just disable it when doing track days? Honestly, after riding it, I don't even notice the ABS (even on the track), so I don't disable it. I have a completely STOCK brake system. My last couple track days the front brake has been...

    Radiator cap failure?

    Maybe this has already been covered. If so, I apologize...... I've heard a lot about radiator cap failures on the RC. How will I know if mine is failing? Seems like my fan has been running more than normal. I have plenty of coolant I the reservoir. Not sure what's going on? Anybody got any...

    Oil changes on 50/50 street/track?

    PLEASE don't beat me up on this one........ (I'm new to KTM, and sport bikes in general)- How often are people changing the oil on these bikes? I know what the manual says, but that seems like a REALLY bad idea, and it's geared towards street riders only. I did the initial 600 mile oil change...

    "Service Not Reset"

    Can anybody tell me how to reset the service reminder? I just did the 600 mile service (myself). Is there a way I can do it, or is it a "dealer only" thing? I checked my manual, and didn't see anything about it....... Maybe I missed it? Any help would be appreciated-

    T-Rex Case savers- ($90.00 shipped to lower 48 states)

    I bought a set of case savers from a member here last winter..... I bought a 2016, and figured they wouldn't change the cases for 2016.... It turns out I was WRONG!!!!! They changed the left side case slightly for 2016 (confirmed a different part number today). These case savers will work on...

    I have a set of "Black" Stomp-Grip tank grippers. These are brand-new in the sealed factory packaging. I just wanted the clear ones to retain the factory tank decals. $25.00 shipped to lower 48 states- My loss is your gain-

    Anybody got a 2016 yet?

    I ordered my 2016 last September..... My dealer has been saying "any day now", since February. I've never owned a KTM before, is this normal? Most manufactures get their bikes out in January-February. Getting impatient, I've got a (pre-paid) track day in three weeks, and still don't have my bike...

    Rear shock overheating? (in the real world)

    I've read a lot of speculation on the rear shock overheating from being too close to the CAT/exhaust. Does anyone have any real experience with this? Here is my dilemma: I know the factory shock is garbage.... I am planning to upgrade ASAP. Am I just going to cook all the life out of a nice...

    Help me understand "Flashing" an ECU?

    I've decided to swallow my pride, and just ask what might be perceived as a "dumb question"..... What is "flashing" an ECU, and what does it do? I used to have a Husqvarna SMR450R that I replaced the stock ECU with the "race" ECU matched to the Arrow dual exhaust I had on it. I honestly don't...

    Suspension help on a budget

    I'm picking up my 2016 RC390 in a few weeks. I know that I will be upgrading the suspension. I've had premium suspensions on several bikes in the past. I usually get overwhelmed by the endless possibilities for adjustments (analysis paralysis).... I ride about 50/50 street/track. I don't race...

    Mail order KTM dealer?

    I'm pretty new here. I have ordered a 2016 RC390, and I'm anxiously awaiting it's arrival. I few of my track day buddies warned me about the availability of replacement parts. I obviously ignored them, and ordered the bike I wanted. Can anyone recommend a KTM dealer that is big on mail order? I...

    LED turn signal flasher

    Hello all, I'm planning on replacing my stock signals with L.E.D. signals. I have never owned a KTM before, and honestly don't know much about them (I just ordered a 2016 RC390). I have used an inline LED flasher relay made by "DRC"in the past. I was designed to be used in a Suzuki DRZ400. I...

    Old dog, new tricks....

    Hello All, I've been lurking a while here, and just created a profile. I have a Supermoto background. I will always LOVE riding Supermoto on the track, but a SM track bike is just a lot of constant wrenching..... Got to be a bit too much for my likes. Last fall, I took my wife 2013 Honda...
