I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction with actually being able to get headgaskets for a KTM 2017 RC390.
I'm in Australia and i have had two gaskets on back order for a 2017 RC390 since 10th october as no one in this country has one in stock. Apparently it takes 4 to 6 weeks to get parts for these things on back order. i rang them today and they said they arent even on the production schedule!!!!
Considering it is a race bike I'm not real impressed with that. What if you need parts in a hurry....
Interestingly, when I search online for overseas ktm parts suppliers they dont list engine parts at all???? I thought that a bit strange considering the number of early model RC390 head gasket failures. All they seem to list is chassis parts?
A top race teams here has worked out the issue with the head gaskets and have fixed the problem but they won't tell KTM what it is because KTM here sponsored them and didnt do anything to help them with issues and then pulled support so they said up ur ass to them. i thought that was a bit of poetic justice.
anyway if anyone can tell me where i can get at least one gasket...that would be great....any aftermarket ones?
thanks...getting desperate here
