    Who's right? Lorenzo or Rossi ?

    Who watched the San Marino Moto GP Race this past weekend ? Well, it sounds like Lorenzo's lashing out @ Rossi for aggressive moves during the race. We want to know, what do you think ? MotoGP San Marino: Rossi/Lorenzo in post-race verbal spat .

    New RC - Vintage rider

    Hi Y'all, I'm a 75 year old retired engineer in S. Michigan, with many bikes and a small machine shop doing maintenance and restoring of '60's to '80's bikes. Mostly Ducati and BMW, but others as well. I got my RC in Oct '15 and just got enough miles on it to call it broken-in before the...

    Hello from North Carolina

    Hello everyone. I have been without a motorcycle for about 7 years now and just purchased a 2016 RC 390 this past Saturday. It only has about 60 miles on it as of now but I am looking forward to putting many more miles on it. I love the bike so far. I have always had 600 CC bikes and am trying...

    Good ride

    By way of positivity-We got a minor break in the heat this afternoon (meaning sub-90 degrees), so I scurried out for a little less than an hour on the RC. My recent rides had all been on bigger bikes, so as it always happens, the small/light nature of the RC required some recalibration. But it...

    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...

    What other wheels fit the RC?

    As the title says...I am interested in other wheels that will fit the RC390. Being a racer, the need for an extra set of wheel will come up this winter race season. It would also be handy to have an extra set of wheels to run practice tyres on and keep the race tyres for racing. The bike is...

    Feeler for forged wheels for our bikes.

    Would any of y'all be interested in a set of forged magnesium/aluminum wheels for our bike in the stock sizes or otherwise? I'm talking to a guy to source wheel blanks so I can manufacture my own wheels and was wondering if there would be a market for the same. I'm assuming it would be cheaper...

    Help required - Lock-wiring race bike issues.

    Hi folks...thanks for having a look at the thread. I am prepping the 2 race bikes and I have come across a bit of an issue when trying to lock-wire the Oil-bung(Sump-plug/oil-drain). Because of the filter screen that sits behind the plug, or more precisely because of the tab that you hold it by...

    Hi from Vancouver, Tuneability of RC390

    Hi everyone, I am looking to get one of these stunning bikes. I am interested in how much one can tune these bikes compared to a R3 or similar. I cant find many options for aftermarket performance parts online or on the forum. Whats the most people can expect out of these bikes and possibly...

    Bosch or Dellorto F.I?

    Was doing a little research and I am finding discrepancies about which F.I. system our bikes have. Most articles I have read state that our bikes are using a Dellorto system. However on the KTM Moto America page they state that a Bosch system is used. I'm curious if the cup bikes are using a...

    Quickshifter Installation KTM 390 WIDE OPEN Throttle Clutchless Upshift...SWEEET..!!

    . If you've never had a quick shifter, you are missing out some enjoyment. Being able to just fly through the upshifts, while never letting off the throttle, or pulling in the clutch is soooooo nice. Obviously for any racer challenging for wins.. this is a must. But, even all our street...
