RC Cup specific issues to be aware of?

[pudley]

I've read about the various reliability issues that seem to affect some RC390's, but I'm curious if there are any specific to the 2015 RC Cup, or is it basically the same list?

Does anyone know if the RC Cup ECU with Akra flash helps the motor to run a bit richer/cooler, perhaps staving off a headgasket issue?

Were the motors for the Cup bikes assembled in India like the rest of the RC's? I'm guessing yes, but I read somewhere that in some cases, the heads were made in Austria and shipped to India for final assembly. That may be on the newer RC390's in general though...

My understanding is that the issues are pretty much the same whether it be a Cup or Street bike. The Akra map is tuned for an aftermarket exhaust, so I would imagine that its fueling is improved, but I dont know the specifics. To get the most out of the bike, youre going to want a PCV, anyway. It makes a huge difference, even over just the Akra mapped ECU.

All the normal RC 390 stuff applies, nothing special about the cup bike.
