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...
Hey guys and gals, I'm new around here. I've been riding a while but I don't have a 390 yet. My main ride is a Triumph Tiger, but I'm looking to get an RC390 to race in a production class this year. I'm in CA so it's novice AFM if you're from the area. This is going to be my 2nd year racing but...
Hey RCers,
I finally got the race graphics in and after much debate (because factory looks so good) did it. No regrets. Super high quality decals. Stock ones came off in about 30 with a hair dryer.
also snapped pics with naked fairings because I read several folks wanting to see it.
cheers...
Because this is 'supposed to' be somewhat of a budget bike and because I don't race it, I'm going to take advantage of the DIY upgrade to the forks and shock that some others have done instead of just throwing a trick suspension kit at it. This option is a bit out of line with my usual bike...
Need some Christmas Money. These are new and have never been ridden on. They were swapped for the race forks at the dealer.

I am trying to decide on a paint job for my race bike. I want to start with most the body work black and then add some white back into it. Could someone photoshop a white stripe on the side that leads into the white race tail section? You don't have to add in the race tail just make that area...
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...
Ok, for all of us MotoGP enthusiasts & avid followers,
What did you think of Lorenzo's comment ?
.... "Lorenzo: I was better than Rossi in everything"
For Rossi to have come up through the pack & pass almost everyone in the race,
and we know there were more than a few who didn't just move...

Interested to hear from racers how RC fares to competition in terms of power, handling, and fun factor. Surely, lots of you racers were previously racing either a ninja or Honda. Ninjas seem to own the grid, R3 is very new and Honda is underpowered.
My Rc is stock and I'm contemplating putting...
So reading these post and not doing my complete homework on available options for a RC390 track bike. Please indulge me with your track bike components.
mine:
JRi double shock
GP fork cartridges
double bubble PP race windshield
PP adj rear sets
Tyga race belly pan
Pirelli SC V2 tires
shift kit...
This was the first weekend with my Ktm and I started out with a street version and added a jri double adjuster shock, been Brake pads, rbf600 brake fluid and the race windscreen. Everything else was stock with street stuff removed.
First race with the Ktm report:
Things I learned:

Hi All,
I have the following for sale. They are surplus to my needs, and I would rather get them out from under foot than sit on them.
I bought this off of ebay advertised for a RC390, but it is actually for a Duke 390. Base does not sit quite flush with the tank opening, but does not affect...
I'm selling a new 390 RACE graphics kit. I bought it at my local dealer for $120. I used the kit to scan the shapes so I could have my local sign shop make a custom decal kit. So, the package has been opened, but the parts are all there. Bonus: KTM included decals for both the stock and race...
well long story short I have a track day coming up, just ordered a few goodies for the bike, tires, Warmers, race tail, race windscreen, levers, grips and so on.. well I also got a k&n filter with the air box plate/mod.. is it worth spending the $95 and doing the Akra map? I still have the stock...

Im reasonable around the track but not done...
I just received my new Tyga race tail and belly pan. From first look, the quality is really good. And I have to say I'm impressed by the time it took to get here. I paid a little extra for faster shipping. I ordered it this past Saturday, and it arrived today (Wednesday). It went from...
