    New from Houston area 2017 Duke 390

    So I just bought a Duke 390 that has 1500 miles on it. I have owned bikes before. I have ridden dirt bikes since I was 4 and my first motorcycle was a 955i Speed triple, then a vt1100(early model with 20 more hp and 5 gears), then a valkyrie, and now back to a KTM 390. I'm hoping to do a full...

    DIY Lights - Halos and turn signals

    Hello all, l recently got an RC390 (first bike) and noticed that the USA bikes do not have the integrated turn signals that the Euro bikes get. After doing some digging, I found that nobody offers up a kit. The cost of buying euro mirrors from overseas exceeded the value. I ended up buying some...

    Big Brands taking small cc bikes to Asia

    As we all know, the big automobiles and motorcycles brands manufactures a lot of their parts in Asia. In the last few years they have been signing new deals with asian brands to produce entire models there and then export to the hole world. Obviously, that only applies to small cc bikes (there...

    Ktm frr & rc

    Hello everyone ! Anyone ever wanted to compare the KTM FRR 125/250 GP and the RC 390 dimensions ? I have been questioning for a long time when I saw this picture a while ago. How close are they in terms of wheel base, rake angle, offset, seat height, height, width etc... I know these bikes are...

    Gray Area KTM steering stop available now~!

    We made this new steering stop after sheering off a few triple clamps and I knew there had to be a better way. There is and we found it! These things are awesome for track bikes and will never shear a triple clamp again. They are designed to crush and crumple in an impact so that the triple...

    KTM User Setting Tool?

    Anyone have any info on what this is for? I downloaded it from KTM's website, it looks like it has some capabilities for tuning EFI. Anyone ever use this before? Does it work on our bikes?

    what happened to headlight mods?

    It seems like on the 2015 and 2016 bikes, there were LED kits and lots of interest in getting our bikes to have both headlights on. Is there a reason why people aren't doing this anymore? Does running the high beam with the low kill the battery over time? I'm sick of having to hold the "pass"...

    New BodyKit in the market

    Not mine, I saw it on ebay. Looks like cheap quality and I don't personally like it, but I'm glad that someone is doing something for our little bikes.

    Hello, and sorry if this question has been answered

    I am breaking a new 2018 RC and really enjoying the hell out of it. My last three sport/track bikes were all 170+ HP liter bikes. Since I was the chase bike for my friends videography company I needed something really fast. For several years that was fun and the trackdays were free. When the...

    Octane for Chad’s maps?

    After looking in the manual today, I saw they recommend 91 octane. I’ve been using 93 lately, and I know this will produce less power if timing isnt tuned for it. Seeing as how our bikes have no knock sensor, and thus doesnt pull timing on detonation, I was just wondering what the...

    Race Tech Suspension

    Has anyone looked into a suspension set up from RACETECH? After looking for correct spring rates on the website, I see they offer a cartridge kit and a complete rear shock. I have had Gold Valves in my motocross bikes and they are worth EVERY damn penny. I see the other cartridge kits available...

    Tyga Header Results

    Here is quick dyno pull to show how much power you can pull out of Matt's awesome Tyga header! I highly recommend these with the Akrapovic "open" system for even better gains. Using both together allows fitment on the 2017-2018 bikes! Tyga RC 390 header pipe https://ibb.co/g0nM7J
