Hello everyone. Over this weekend bought my first KTM and my first thumper. 2015 RC 390 with 1900 miles. PO spent a good bit of coin on mods including Ohlins rear shock, Competition Werks exhaust, front 320mm rotor and brake pad upgrade, Tyga rear set and CF tail section. First impression from a canyon ride yesterday was very positive, the current mileage won’t stay low for long.

Nice. Interested in hearing your experience with the Ohlins, as I think the stock shock is a weakness of the bike - too harsh and unadjustable.

From my experience with Ohlins on my former track R6 and currently on a Ducati SFS its nothing but positive. Proper set up and valving for the weight is key. Really depends how you intend to use the bike. You won't necessary need it for daily city commuting. However for canyons and track its a huge plus.
