While preparing for my valve job I was reviewing the older and newer manuals and some threads and noticed that KTM has updated the valve clearance specifications in the 2018 Duke manual. After some research I've established some facts:
The Duke uses our same engine part # motor / head
Some of...
New rider and I’m out of my element when it comes to bike issues. I recently did my first service on my 2015 RC 390, I used 1.75l of oil and changed the filter. Ever since my first service my low oil pressure light keeps coming on but only when the bike is up to temperature. I didn’t have this...

Hi Guys,
i just bought a used RC390 with about 12000 km on the odometer. 2 years old but still the 2015 version, one previous owner and 'full service history'.
According to the service history the valves were never even checked, also the rubber mat and all the stuff around the engine looked...
Considering another 390 (RC/Duke?) as the $3999 prices are just nuts on the 18s. I read a note or heard in a upyoutube vid that th ECU was restricted to lower RPM limiter until the 600 mile service, pretty much handcuffing you to the dealer. Is this true?
I was planning a fly n ride kinda...
I took my 2017 RC390 in for the first service and requested the Akra Map, when I picked the bike up they said the flashed the ECU and wrote RM938BU1717401 or maybe RM938BU1212401 on the service order. I thought the Akra map was KM902EV1419031. Anyone know what my ECU was flashed with?
The first service due at 620 miles, and I'm already at 1,000 miles, just having too much fun on this bike. I suppose I should have called to make a service appointment when I hit 620 but here I am at 1,000 and by Sunday night I'll probably have 1300. I plan to call them Monday morning to make...
Loved the bike till first service then it’s been plagued by problems. Couple days after the service it over heated to max bars and and left stranded on side of freeway. Never did it it again. Now it starts when it feels like it, but then dies at random stop lights. Have it plugged into a tender...
If I leave my RC stored over winter with no battery will the display information be lost e.g mileage, service interval etc or is the internal memory fitted with a sufficient back up battery?
Thanks
Andy

Recently, started getting the "Service Not Reset" notice on startup. Looked up the owners' manual online (I'm still waiting for a manual, never got one with the bike), saw that there's an "initial service" due around 1000 km. As my RC390 is a new bike, I...
So I am approaching 600 miles on my RC390 and I know that the valves need to be checked along with the initial service.
Normally I do all the easy regular service items on my bikes (torquing bolts, changing oil, adjust/clean/lube chain).
I've never done a valve check and after reading threads...

Hi everyone,
I am now glad to say I am officially a registered owner of a KTM RC390.
Currently, I have tac'd +300 miles on the bike and will need my first service at this time.
What are your impressions of the first service and what are the fees you paid?
I understand this service is a good...
I've got 5 long and 3 short and it doesn't show in the manual. Anyone have any idea what this code means?
It goes in Tuesday for service so no biggie I'm sure they will figure it out, I was just curious.
Can anybody tell me how to reset the service reminder? I just did the 600 mile service (myself). Is there a way I can do it, or is it a "dealer only" thing? I checked my manual, and didn't see anything about it....... Maybe I missed it? Any help would be appreciated-
So, I got my bike from the dealer on April 15th. Awesome bike, but it all began with the putting my insurance card under the seat. Went to put the seat back on, and the right side plastic seat clip is broken. Ordered new seat, covered by warranty. That was back ordered and had no idea when it...
Has anyone else had problems getting the CD service manual to work? I'm a Mac guy, so I'm having to run it on SWMBO's PC laptop. The manual is browser-based, but it's locked her computer up four times, trying both to autorun the app and trying to launch the English files. Suggestions...

So, who actually has access to beINSport to watch MotoAmerica, MotoGP, and WSBK?
And, how much trouble was it to get that channel?
I ask because TimeWarner has it buried in like a third-tier package that costs ...well more, on top of an already stupidly expensive service.
