front

edit: I'll stick something through the axle as I pull the axle bolt out and install each rearset I'm installing the driven rearsets. I want to make SURE before I pull the swingarm bolt. You have to: put the bike on the rear stand put jack stands under the front of the swingarm so the...

I'm getting a static sag of 35mm in the front and 15mm in the rear. Rear spring preload is on the 5th setting. Rider sag is 50mm in the front and 35mm in the rear. Rear sag seems about right to me, but front sag definitely seems WAY off. is a static sag of 35mm normal?

Hi All, I'm looking for a new front wheel for my 390. I've been told that they will not be available until end of October, does anyone have one they can sell me or know of one in stock somewhere? Or I'll replace it once I get the new one next month. Did this at a local Kart track...

So I'm hopefully going to be picking up an RC390 in a couple days and in looking through all the race prep I need to do over the winter, I think the front forks are probably my top question. The rules for the production class state that, "The front forks may be modified with different springs...

Good evening ladies and gents :) Being that my 390 is my first sports bike everything is new to me in regards to experience with tire pressures for normal street use. I know the manual states 29 psi front and rear which i did try for a short ride and to me it felt too low. Currently i am...

Has anyone else experienced significant front brake drag? I have the EBC HH pads in, and the front drags badly enough that you can feel it pushing the bike around the paddock. In comparison, my R6 with another disk, caliper and pads spins freely. I've tried removing the spring plate, and...

Shopping for a front stand that connects at the steering stem. However the front fairing on the RC looks like it points downward a bit and could cause interference. Anyone know of a particular brand that works?

The new Brembo racing SC Brake pads for the front caliper on the 390s are finally here. New Price at $53.00, In stock and ready to ship but only a few left of our first batch after pre-sales. http://www.ktmperformance.com/brembo-brake-pads-for-the-ktm-rc390-and-390-duke.html

I would like to get a front stand for the RC. I currently have a Pit Bull for my R6, but it doesn't work on the RC. The two spindles on the stand are too wide, and given that the front forks are smaller than the bigger bikes, the spindles end up resting on the front caliper, which isn't good...

Back marker i had a sweet AMA set up GSXR6 i sold it to run the RC390 you WILL NEED at a min a rear shock. I put on a JRi thru SB suspension out of chicago. I can shoot you a # if you get interested.

As funny as it sounds, I'm actually interested in seeing what your tire wear patterns are like. There's been some discussion about the shape of the 150 rear tire on this width of rim and whether running a 140 would open it up a bit and actually yield a larger contact patch and thus better...

Does the ABS on the RC prevent stoppies or nose wheelies? Seems to me like it does. Doing some back road testing and finding that no matter how hard grab a handful of front brake I can not get the rear tire off the ground. I then turned off the ABS and the first time I go for the front brake I...

I had searched around online, and didn't see anything but maybe I missed finding one. I'm kinda shocked the bike didn't come with one out of the box, but whatever... Anybody interested in a steering damper kit for the front end of your 390? I dunno about y'all but I'm finding the bike a tad bit...

Finally found some time and got the front forks completely disassembled. I now have a front spring swap for the stock forks.

So my RC 390 has a few stickers showing it is OK to be sold in the USA and even meets California's super-strict emissions. We get a big ugly cheap looking black plastic extension below where the plate goes on the back plus a pair of red reflectors there and a pair of yellow reflectors bolted on...

There are 2 wind screens from KTM, one with headlight cut outs and one with out. I've even seen one that is tinted but doesn't go around the whole front like the stock one(KTM RC125 15 RC390 15 Airflow Windshield Shield Screen D Made in England | eBay). Does the one on the cup bike like in the...

Does anyone know the dimensions of the front caliper, and if not can someone that has the RC measure it? Nearly all of the thorough reviews have stated that the brakes are one of the bike's weak areas. Knowing the caliper dimensions is the first step in resolving the issue. :p The rear one...
