Hi, all. New here. I'm considering an RC390 as my next purchase. I've been riding for a long time (hell, I was a riding instructor in the 80s) and I've always owned either standards or sportbikes (definitely not a cruiser guy). Current bikes are a 2003 Buell XB9R Firebolt and a Yamaha XT225...

Okay. This is sort of one of those "universal threads" that appears on a lot of forums. It's usually not all that weighty, but keeps the conversation going. So, I can't help myself; here we go. Here's the deal. Post (mostly) what'cha want, but talk about whether you rode. Basically the day...

Hello All, I've been searching for a good summer riding jacket any suggestions? Kenneth

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Holidays... to all of my small orange bike riding compadres. In advance of New Years, here's to many of safe, grin-inducing miles in the coming year!

MotionPro Rev2 Revolver Throttle Kit for RC390 Offers more control of the throttle & reduced hand fatigue when riding. Top End is quicker to enjoy than stock due to the progressive ramp of the variable cam reel. For more information, just click on the link below >> MotionPro Rev2 Revolver...

Eurosport yesterday showed the KTM World Cup live from Assen as part of the BSB round. Cracking racing and full of action, the Yanks and Cloggies riding really fast but sadly the Brits well off the pace!

Hi, I'm Fenek, from Poland. I'm still riding Yamha YZF-R125, but I'd like to buy KTM RC 390 as my next bike. I'd like to find out something about this bike and it's why I registered here :)

I've had three instances of this happening to me now: 900mi on the Odometer after riding about 150 miles: engine light comes on solid during a ride. Pulled over, turn engine off, turn back on again, engine light still on but no blink code. (this is with side stand up, ready to ride, by the...

I installed a 320mm Galfer front rotor with matching rear rotor purchased from Cody at ktmperformance.com a couple days after I bought my bike last year so I can’t tell you how much better these rotors are over stock (they’re definitely lighter). However, I installed Brembo pads (also purchased...

Hi everybody! So I have begun considering the RC390 for a designated track bike. I currently have a Honda RC51 which is very difficult to find parts for and would rather not worry about finding parts. I am also getting my youngest sister into riding and after she completes her MSF course I want...

Hi All, I have been eyeing the KTM lines for a while and took the plunge recently and bought two bikes. The KTM RC390 and the KTM Superduke 1290 R. I actually took a chance on the little RC as a gift to my girl to get her into riding, big gamble but I had a backup plan that the little sport...

Figure I ought to make the obligatory intro post :) I've been riding since 2005, have had 5 bikes in that time ranging from 500-1000cc and 1990-2006 models; my current main ride is an 03 Yamaha YZF600R w/ almost 32k on it (and still doing track days :D), but I've been intrigued by the RC390...

Good Morning, I wanted to post and see what others thought. I am 100% new to bikes, my experience is a four wheeler. I am looking to begin riding not extreme but riding for fun. I really like the KTM RC390, was wondering thoughts on it being a first bike for a women. I am 6'0 about 135. Also...

Hey guys! So...I have a dilemma and want to see if anyone has any wise tips, has been in my position, or just really any help at all! I'm a fairly new rider, only been riding for about a year (sporadically) on a Honda CBR 250R. Circumstances have surfaced to the point that I can't keep that bike...

Hi everyone, So I got my KTMRC390 a few weeks ago. Already put 1000km on it, did first oil change at 600km. About to do the 1000km service. Been riding since I was 16 (now 34). Started on a Yamaha dt50, then had 125s, VFR400, ZX6R, VStrom 650 and stopped riding for a few years. Since...

Hello All, I've been lurking a while here, and just created a profile. I have a Supermoto background. I will always LOVE riding Supermoto on the track, but a SM track bike is just a lot of constant wrenching..... Got to be a bit too much for my likes. Last fall, I took my wife 2013 Honda...

Hello Chaps I've had my Tuono V4R for nearly a year now. Winter is no time to be riding a bike like that so its in a poly bag and stored away in the garage. I missed riding a bike so I bought me a runaround RC390. I love it! I've had it for a few weeks now, it was an ex demo model, had 400...

I'm pleased to announce a new product for the Formula390 lineup. This is a frame mounted RAM mount setup. The frame mount utilizes our frame clamp setup from the steering damper, but instead uses a different pin which accepts a RAM Ball. This allows you to mount whatever devices you want, to a...

Hi All! I will be using a Vornato heater to keep the garage at a toasty 65 degrees this winter. What should I do with my RC while I am not riding it December thru March?
