Hey all, I picked up a 2015 RC390 this week. It's an insurance purchase from auction, so I wasn't sure what I was getting. It's actually pretty good, needs a bit of TLC and it will fine. I'm intending to turn it into a track-only bike. It's already got the KTM rearsets, Akro slip-on and an upgraded front disk. It has a few other bits too, but just cosmetic. It looks like its stood a bit and hasn't been maintained (3500km in 6 years, filler cap and ignition broken, probably never had an oil change) so I'm flushing all the fluids before I run it.
I'm going to be asking a bunch of questions to help me get it set up for track work. My plan is to get the baseline mechanical and electrical bits sorted, no leaks, etc. then I'll start looking at the conversion. I'm aiming to add/change the following - front cartridges, new rear shock, new tires, new brake pads, engine protectors, race glass, high mount exhaust, then QS/blipper/ECU (?). The order I wrote it is pretty much the order I'll do it in. Anything I'm missing or recommendations?
