Working on my 17' RC390 and there is rubber sheeting zip tied all over. Is this important? Does it keep wires off the hot engine? Is it cooling engineering? Have you all removed it with no effect?
Any info appreciated!
I'm currently installing my Samco hose kit, 8 pieces which I know the four larger pipes attatch to engine/radiator and two thin pipes go from radiator to overflow/catch bottle.
But what are the other two thin pipes for?
I wanted to put an R&G radiator guard on my 2017 RC 390; but the OEM radiator shroud needs to be removed to install it. What's the purpose of the radiator upper and lower shrouds? I was wondering if I can remove the shrouds to install the radiator guard and shed some weight.
Hi all, running a 2014 390 as a race/track bike only and having head gasket problems, just had the head machined due to normal warp issues with early models. Just been to a track day and the head went again in the last session, no noticeable overheating issues after doing cooling mods, ( better...

Cam chain.
Oil pump.

Started both of em and...
So it finally happened to me, the OEM fan has failed on my bike and it sounded like a baby seal dying during the process. Now that my bike is over heating I need to replace the fan (that I could do under warrantee) with something. Everyone has said that the SPAL 5.2 Inch Puller Fan is the way to...

So just got my RC390 this morning. I'm a new rider and have only putzed around with a buddies R6 for a few minutes. So when I say I was jacked to get this, I mean I could have wet myself with excitement.
