    2015 low miles, clean title, with extras

    I have a 2015 RC that I bought in April of this year. Bike has 420 miles on it and I have the title in my possession. All stock with the following exceptions. I put a Vagabond tail tidy on it but still have the stock pieces. I put an ergo saddle on and sold the stocker. Bike has rear spools...

    Ride height

    Anyone mind giving their ride height for the rear shock? Where you measure to and from ? Finally scraped a hole thru my belly pan and messed around with the shock and didnt mark my starting height. I know dumbass. But this will at least get me back close.

    General impressions and warrantyfrom ditching the stock shock for an r6 unit and doin

    Hello everyone just joined today and wanted to post on my experience with my 2016 rc 390. The bike I was manufactured on 3/16 so I am hoping it has any updates or maybe even some of the issues resolved. The fan is quiet and comes on three bars before the hot line. It has never gotten any hotter...

I thought I would start this thread as a new leaf has turned and I've decided to drop even more money on my braaap machine.

    Suspension measurement question

    Okay. I need the help of the assmbled brethren (and sisteren). If someone could take a measurement for me, I'd really appreciate it. I would like to know the distance from the seam in the tail piece (between the soft top and the hard base) vertically down to the top of the rear axle. Not the...

    KTM RC 390 Suspension Geometry Settings

    Hi All, I have a KTM RC 390 with Andreani fork cartridge kit in the front and Ohlins KT-303 rear shock. The Ohlins rear shock has an adjustable ride height. Last Saturday, my friend, who races 300cc motorcycles, told me that my motorcycle steers very heavy. He mentioned raising the forks by...

    What shop equipment do I need to lift the bike?

    I've been building/working on cars for most of my life, but only now am I getting into more in-depth work on my bikes. Soon I'll be working on the forks, replacing the rear shock, installing rearsets, etc. My question is, what basic equipment do I need to get the job done? I assume I need to...

    K-Tech Shock and cartridges

    Anyone here have some feed back on K-Tech suspension components? I have a local shop that specializes in motorcycle suspension upgrades and tuning. They have done good work for me in the past. When I asked them about my RC-390 they recommended K-tech shock and fork cartridges. I have no...

    Rear shock overheating? (in the real world)

    I've read a lot of speculation on the rear shock overheating from being too close to the CAT/exhaust. Does anyone have any real experience with this? Here is my dilemma: I know the factory shock is garbage.... I am planning to upgrade ASAP. Am I just going to cook all the life out of a nice...

    Lower shock mount width clearance tolerances / fscking Bajaja rant!!!

    So, we've been working on the suspension for a customers bike here today. We are fitting up a JRi shock as well as some machine work on the lathe for R6 shock and fork suspensions orders for two other customers. Part of that was fabricating up some bushing spacers for the lower shock mount for...

    DIY Suspension Build

    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...

    Rear Shock upgrade

    Hi Just carried out the Yamaha Yzf R6 rear shock upgrade on my Rc after reading about the possibility of it fitting on this forum. Well its a straight swap for the original and installed so easily. I set the shock up to the standard R6 settings as a base to work from and to be honest I see no...

    JRi shock install (I hid the reservoir)

    I chose the JRi based mainly on feedback from this forum and I'm really pleased with the shock. The JRi shock is an awesome shock and totally transformed the way my bike rides and handles. I didn’t like the looks of the reservoir hanging off the sub-frame and came up with an alternative...
