What a day!
After warming the bike up and bliping the throttle, there was a horrible metallic knocking noise. After taking the engine out, I found that the bolt holding the timing sprocket on the cam had come loose. It has bent the cylinder head and cracked it, along with the valve cover.
Has...
I really struggle with the ASRA/CCS rule book sometimes. All I want to know is what freaking races the RC 390 can compete in so I can sign up!
Here is what I know:
B. KTM RC390 Cup machines are allowed to compete in SuperSport.
Here is what I don't know:
300 or 500?
This tells me that it'd...
My RC Cup came inside of his wooden box with some brake fluid spots on the bottom of the case..... nothing mayor... after a few trackdays one morning the rear master cylinder started leaking.... So I got a used master cylinder on ebay and now is doing the same.... Anyone else had that problem...

As with the RCS19, the New Corsa Corta Brake Master...
Hello
After an other crash on track yesterday (no injury) (at low speed), my front brake master cylinder seems damages internally.
It brakes, but if I keep the pressure, after 1 seconds the pressure decreases until the lever touche the grip.
I imagine at least the piston or gasket is damaged...
I'm ashamed to say that after attempting to install a PCV on my RC390, I have had trouble with reinstalling the left fairing and fuel tank. The left fairing has a black cylinder that needs a hose connection but I can't seem to locate it. I only have three hoses that all go to the fuel tank, so...
Did a little video on Piston, Cylinders, Rings, Gaps, Measurements, Specs, assembly and more.

Brembo RCS15 Brake Master Cylinder gives you the best of both worlds.
Brembo has designed the RCS15 Brake Master Cylinder for the rider who requires more brake performance and variation in brake lever feel when compared to a stock master cylinder.
The Brembo RCS15 Brake Master Cylinder gives...
Question for the engine gurus. Was just going over my warranty paperwork and in the repair notes they had noted that the honed the cylinder. The dealer had said the bike was smoking on startup, thus replaced the rings and honed cylinder, replaced head gasket, valve cover gasket, ect. Is this...
can someone measure the push rod length on their rear brake cylinder? i need to know the exact length so i can make one of my own. apparently KTM doesn't supply that part, so if i want a new one i have to purchase an entire rear cylinder.
here is the part i'm talking about:
i need it measured...
Hi folks.
Fitted my Driven Rearsets yesterday and in the process the plunger has popped out of the Master Cylinder. Initially I thought something was broken so I pulled the MC apart to have a look and now I have an MC with a leak and no exploded diagram to rebuild it.
There are no spare parts...
Well I've just gone through major oral surgery Monday because my teeth had had it. (so excuse me if I don't respond, or am even here, for a few more days plz)

Im planning on buying a new master cylinder for my bike and im torn between the 17 and 19mm models. A lot of guys use the 19rcs and are very happy with it, but i havent seen any reviews of the 17rcs at all. im also considering frando as an option, as im getting decent priciing on them,but not...
I don't like the brake feel from the stock RC master cylinder. I have a spare master cylinder from my Kawi 636 which works well with that bike. Since the RC has 1 rotor/caliper I don't think it would work correctly on the RC. Can any confirm this? Thanks!
Figured you all might get a kick out of this, and have a few opinions to share about the concept as well. My buddy and I both picked up our 390's two weeks ago. We did a track day the first weekend we owned them. We both agreed, the bikes are awesome, but the brakes needed some work.
I...
