    I also have this question in mind. Been searching the web for info about 390 oil filter and still have no luck on finding the answers. any of the D390 owners care to pitch in?

        Oil filters of D390 are black in color and the one's in D200 are white in color.

          [MENTION=63586]DukeDey[/MENTION]...Last sunday i took out the bike after 10 days of hibernation, and went for a 500km ride. Initially was not getting confidence with the brakes, but after few kms it was fine, the whole journey didnt have any problem, as you mentioned, 2 fingers braking, no problem. Off topic question, anyone going to IBW on jan 17, 18??

              both our bikes are from same truck... even i feel same about the brakes. losing too much energy. what to do? but still the bike stops, and stays in control . the only matter is the input needs to be higher. higher than in a P 150. funny.
              i was thinking all 390 s got this problem and was planning to put in dot 5 brake fluid next time.

              BTW, in d 390 i hardly need brakes, letting off the gas itself brings down speed and a blip/ downshift is so confidence giving. though this is not applicable when ripping at 7k rpm. maybe im more of a slow rider.

              what about bulbs dude? i gotta change both.
              I'm a responsible rider.It doesn't matter what you ride,but what matters is how you ride.

                  I took the vehicle to adjust the chain tension yesterday. Even after the chain was tightened, I could heard the chain slapping noise. So I tightened the chain and adjusted the clutch cable myself at home today. The gear change sound is gone now. The gear shifts are soo smooth now, just like a Honda. Even from the 1st gear to 2nd, I couldn't hear much sound. Try it out and let me know about your feedback.

                    Just a quick question.. How much speed are you all able to extract from each of the gears. Mine are as follows:
                    1 ~ 40kmph
                    2 ~ 60kmph
                    3 ~ 90kmph
                    4 ~ 110kmph
                    5 ~ 125kmph
                    6 NA

                      Since last 2 days i have been getting ticking sound from the engine and loss in acceleration. Does someone know if the bike needs tappet setting or is it because of adulterated fuel?

                        The figures quoted by motorheadZMA are what they should be. AmitRavi07 there is some issue otherwise the bike would definitely cross 100 in the 3rd.

                        Ticking sound in my case was diagnosed as noise coming from tappets and shims need replacement. (started from 500kms ) I did not notice any drop in acceleration though.

                          Its not that I am redlining all the way. I usually change gears at 8k rpm and got these figures. In the first three gears if I try to cross 8k, the engine really starts creating a ruckus.

                            Then there is nothing to worry about. Its all good.

                              Check out this video that i managed..all these gear changes were done keeping in mind the power band for max power so to get quickest acceleration.

                                I really am pissed with the front brakes. Not just my bike, every 390 I have ridden has the same issue. Its not like brakes are weak but you have to grab the lever with all your might to get it working.

                                Disc brakes should not be like this till the time there is low brake fluid, but even that is not the case here. What happened to two finger braking, that is the way I love it. The duke 200 has far better brakes, how?
                                I did not feel anything wrong with brakes. Two fingers operations has enough bite. May be you should wait for few more kms and see.
