At the moment I own both an RC390 and R3 (I won't get into it). I built and had them tuned the same way, at the same shop, by the same guy. Here's the official results after a proper tune.
KTM is up 5 horsepower and 6ft/lb torque
2015 RC390 (non cup bike):
Full Akra (with baffle in)

Hi all,
Just thought i would write a quick introductions
saying i am from Ireland but living and working in the land of KTM (Austria)
I am really interested in the RC390 and love racing, so has been great to read through some of the race build threads
Kind regards
Picto
Bike is in great shape, has been down once in a MotoAmerica race and has a few scuffs (see pictures) but bodywork is good. Has Akrapovic pipe, nice levers, & some extra parts with it as well and an extra set of OEM wheels (no tires mounted) with brand new rotors on both wheels. Asking $8200...
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...

Is this a common failure on the RC390? I was looking to get one before but wound up with a Ninja 300, figured I'd wait out the RC390 for a couple years until used models with slipper clutches hit the market. It seems I've read at least a handful of...
Just thought I'd say hi.
I've just picked up my brand new 2016 RC390 a few days ago. My previous bike was a '13 CBR250R. Only changes I can see from the 2015 version are slightly bigger mirrors. We don't get the slipper clutch, side exhaust, etc yet unfortunately. Any fellow RC390 owners from...
I'm getting deeper into the rc390 and want to be smart about buying the right tools to be able to service my bike by myself, at least easy to medium difficulty jobs. If my engine blows its gasket, I'll take it into the shop. I don't yet own the RC 390 shop manual so forgive me if the information...
I've been looking for a good starter bike. Being that I grew up in England, most of the bikes people start on are mopeds at around the 50CC mark. From there, you can graduate to a real bike later on after you got some miles under your belt. My actual first bike was a 1992 Suzuki GS500E. A good...
Good News Everyone!
CL Brake pads have been making a performance pad for some time for the 390, but it has not been available in the US until now. Perfect timing as it looks like the Brembo Pads will be discontinued at the $53.00 price point and will only be available from KTM at...

We're beginning to see and hear of multiple cush drive failures, and are proud to announce these new higher quality USA made replacements for the RC390 and 390 Duke. Better fitment reduces drive line lash. Better material increases durability. MNNTHBX - Enter
Hi Guys,
I have picked up my 16' RC390 2 weeks ago and so far so good! When I got the bike I was informed of a few issues from the factory.
1. the bolt for the mirror was missing its head an required some in shop modifications to attach the mirrors.
2. No user manuals/ Owners manuals...
Hey all! Hailing from the great white north, just bought an RC390 about a month ago and found this forum while looking for information about the first service. I've been riding for 5 years, mostly small bikes, and the RC390 is already one of my favorites. Glad to see there's a good community of...
Hi all!
Although I don't ride RC390 a friend of mine from another forum recommended this forum, as source of infinite wisdom and faster lap times. ;)
I recently bought Duke 390 which I want to use for track and moto gymkhana (among other things). I'll be counting on your advice regarding mods...
Hi guys,
I've been lurking these forums for some days now and I really dig it so far, so I figured I'd create and account.
I am a currently bike-less 22 year old from Oslo, Norway who is looking into the RC390, mostly for just needing to have some sort of good looking bike that doesn't cost a...
So this was on my gsxr 600 but all the skills in this video I learned on my rc390, so I figured i could post this here, this was my first time there and first track day on a 600. I figured rc390 fans would also appreciate.
edit: I forgot to add you were only allowed to pass on the start/finish...
Good News Everyone!

Hello fellow Coloradans!
I was thinking we should all have a meetup this month or April before the race season starts. My idea was to go to IMI Motorsports in Dacano CO for some track riding. That way the track riders can ride their bikes, and the street riders can also go without having to...
