Unusual observation. I'm one of those guys who calculates such a thing. Started with the cars, and I can't help myself with the bikes. The RC had averaged in the 50s to low 60s for MPG, with the lowest being 48.7. Then the last four tanks were: 50.2, 45.3, 38.1, and 43.2. Nothing was...

Hey Everyone, my name is Dan. I live in Ontario Canada. Recently just purchased my first ever KTM. Picked up a brand new 2017 RC390 here on clear out from a local dealer. As it's still cold and snowy where I am I havn't had it out on the road yet, but excited for the spring! Doing my research...

Just curious to hear from guys who track their RC390's... is a steering stabilizer necessary on these bikes? I'm sure it depends on track and how hard you are riding, but it seems a lot of the cup bikes don't have them so I assume they are probably not as important as on a bigger bike?

We got to play on the dyno and test various intake lengths. It seems there is plenty to gain for the bikes that run at high RPM! https://ibb.co/e211O7

My name is JB, and I'm new to the forum. I'm under the same moniker (jb.junior) on the Triumph675.net forum and have a lot of "cred" on there. I race in the CMRA and am located in Houston, Texas. I raced D675's for the past few years and won a novice HWT title. After a bad wreck in the 2017...

Hi all just a quick intro of myself. I'm probably older than most people who buy a RC... turning 50 this year and getting back in to riding amongst other goals like losing weight etc. From Australia, where these bikes are very popular. Bit of a fatso, but losing weight steadily. I'm also on the...

1300 miles and still smiling every ride people are blown away that I can be so fast on a sub 400cc bike! More people ask about the RC then any of my buddies $$$ high dollar bikes. Very happy!!

Here is a little video compilation of a recent track day at our local track This session is called the up to 500cc racer class. Race rules apply It includes a lot of 125GP bikes, 250 4cyl bikes from the 90s and well as ninjas, R3s and RC390s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfw9_J7TV2U&t=32s

Is this the power commander (pcv) that you guys / girls using seen some that say suit Harley or Suzuki or Honda are they the same with just dif maps on them . New to modding bikes and want to get a new exhaust and been told need a pcv and some o2 broad band something or other. Thanks in...

My 390 was lost in the floods here in Houston and was taken away last Friday. I really enjoyed the little bike, having a field day on the track annoying the 600 and liter bikes. Given the bike's history for quality issues though, I am going to move on the adifferent bike, probably a new R6...

I am 55 and have ridden high capacity bikes my whole life. I started riding pure sport bikes 25 years ago and hence my addiction to riding stupid on the street began.Even though I bought those bikes my thought that 75 HP is all you need for the street was my mantra, I was always looking for a...

It's just one little thing after the next, nothing major, but i want to get it all out of the way. I'm trying to take one weekend to throw some time, money and parts at it (maybe some wrenches too, out of frustration) and knock everything out at once. Figured i would get some input from you guys...

HI Guys as many of you are aware the is a major issue with the clutches on these bikes the bush fails inside the clutch basket causing it to jam or seize on the the shaft or basket i was wondering if there are any after market kits on the market yet for these bikes the problem being the bush...

Ive gotten the R6 shock off Ebay and Matt has kindly posted me the spacer etc I need. But I'm curious as I weight suited up 105kgs suited (220 lbs) yet when I sit on our brand new RC390 the shock just goes down all the way to the bump stop. There is no shock left. I've read all the woe...

Hello All, I am new here and on the search for a small displacement bike to play around with on track days. I've been riding the lier bikes for a number of years but want a little change so I can refine my cornering techniques. The RC390 is in the top of my short list of 300 series bikes. I...

Just made the latest edition of Performance Bikes!

I'm sure most of you have probably seen my thread about engine overheating: http://www.rc390-forum.com/forum/engine-and-technical-discussion/1702-overheating-issues.html Nonetheless, I really love riding this bike and want to ask folks smarter and more experienced than me to share their ways of...

I've been intrigued by these bikes since they came out and there's a dealer ride opportunity coming up in a two weeks that's relatively close by, as well as a well provisioned dealer (NC shop, etc) about an hour or more south of me. If I can sell off one or two of my other bikes this winter (I'm...

I am replacing my 1997 E-350 that is set up for hauling motorcycles. It has tie down eyes bolted to the floor along with a welded steel box to brace the bikes against and chocks to hold the front tire of a motorcycle. Two sport bikes and everything needed for a track day (including a 10X20...

Can anyone provide some info on the model year differences. Thinking of buying one of these bikes and can still get new older model year for quite a bit less.
