    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...

Idled through the pits and when I pulled the clutch in to coast into my garage space the engine quit. No unusual noise or anything, it just died. I fired it up and there's a loud internal...

    rc390 Catches Fire after Crash

    I crashed my RC at Thunder Hill in California last weekend making a rookie mistake. M body position wasn't great and I was leaning the bike over too much. When my foot peg scraped the ground, I got scared and overreacted by standing the bike up. I both wheels slid and before I knew it I was on...

    Engine checklight (MIL) remains on... Is that usual?

    Hi guys, Just bought a KTM RC 390 yesterday and I noticed that when I start the bike and ride it the engine check light (MIL) remains on in yellow color. Its not blinking or anything, just remains on. Is that usual? Doesn't it turn off? Would really appreciate if anyone can help clarify this...

    Engine touch up paint?

    Engine touch up paint found! Anyone discover an option for touch up paint for the engine? During the installation of the T-Rex sliders, the left-side bracket made a couple of nicks in the engine cases. I suspect there's a KTM Official color, but I wondered if anyone had discovered something...

    Just adjusted the valves. Any questions?

    At 15,684 miles I decided I had punished the KTM's mill long enough. I broke down and adjusted the valves. Of course, this required the acquisition of Harbor Freight's 1,000 # motorcycle lift that taunts us with that $299.99 coupon each month in the back of the MC mags. It's sweet! It all went...

    Need advice / input from someone with more engine experience than myself

    Since I did the 600m service at my local dealer my bike has been leaking oil occasionally. I talked to the tech and he said if it was on the left side of the bike it was probably just overfilled a bit and after it bubbled off it would be fine. I have narrowed it down to only happening when I am...
