Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

Watched your vlog on youtube enjoyed it there u shared all the mods you have done on ur bike. It would be of great help if u shared your experience in detail here on xbhp too. As of now i have ordered my piggyback ecu and k&n air filter.
Guys I'm looking for a exhaust but don't want to spend too much around 25k.

Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience


I will do a review, but I wont post any number or anything, coz it usually sparks a fight and stuff, Ill do the review after I do some concrete miles on the setup and also, all my bikes, I get done by RaceConcepts in Bangalore, including my car, I suggest you wait for them to release their full system exhaust.

And as per the Vlog, I'm glad you enjoyed it, If you have any things i could improve on, pleaase tell me , and subscribe for more

Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

Race concepts that's the name i trust blindly earlier i got my r15 or should i call it r18 tuned by them abused it for more than a year got bored of it and got the rc 390 to replace it and boy oh boy what an upgrade it is. BTW the figures you claimed in the video if i could get them too I'll be more than happy.
As well as your setup is turning out to be reliable on the 390 so that's a double whammy

Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience


It takes a beating on the track, and that is way more beating than on the road, and its constant for about 2-3 hours on end, and nowhere on the road will you ever be able to do that :O

Hey Bro...
OMG that video was just AWWWSOME!!!!. I regularly watch almost all reviews on YouTube. But hats of to you bro, the way u spoke was just great. Loved the language. ha ha ha... I did not click on the link earlier cause I thought it was just another boring one but the main thing is how u spoke. Perfect. We have a guy on YouTube with his fake accent, you might know who I am referring to... Thinks he knows everything...

I love the way you do wheelies. I used to do big time wheelies on my shogun and RD350 10-12 years back but now somehow I cant seem to get the damn courage to pop a wheelie.
BTW, I am planning a trip to B'lore in July and going to get the powertronics. I am skeptical to fit the K&N filter as there are a lot of negative reviews about poor filtration and it messes up the AFR. Please give me your advice here.
I am familiar with modifying two strokes (porting and polishing, fiber reeds, expansion chamber, bigger jets, shaving the head and stuff) I had done a whole lot on my Shogun back in 2001 from KRP Delhi.

I am wondering if the Bhp on the RC390 could be bumped up to around 50-52bhp and torque to around 40+nm. The stuff like high lift cams, titanium valves, powertronics, exhaust, K&N air-filter, Air Ram... etc. I mean I don't mind spending 40-60k excluding the exhaust if I can get the quoted figures.

Please comment on this.

Ride safe brother, I saw that you were ripping it in certain parts. Its not worth it man. And also you cursed the bus guy, be careful these morons have almost no road etiquette and would care less. In India the bigger the vehicle the more command on road. Well, I should not be advising you here as I am worse than you when it comes to cursing people on the road, When I am in my car, I sometimes play chicken on the road and I have ran many big vehicles off the road because they were wrong, But on a bike playing this stuff or cursing head-on is not worth it.

Keep the videos coming bro and keep the wheelies longer. Have fun n take care.
Looking forward to your points on the K&N

BTW: I TOTALLY 100% agree with your concept of oil change intervals. I changed my oil first at 600 and then at 2000, and now planning next at 4000. I am planning to change every 1500kms in future. Could you also please tell me what the difference is with the Motul 300V compared to the 10-40 the SVC guys use, cause I rev my bike to the limit in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear.

Thanks.

THANK YOU SO SO MUCH :') your words are too too kind, and yeah I know the guy with the fake accent, who doesn't? "ZX10R" daily city rideable bike [emoji14].

See the mods are very basic but the results are very very apparent, I will be doing a video and uploading it today, or tomorrow, it'll be a detailed review of my bike and the mods and what's the best and what's no real point, and I really don't like the motul 300V coz the vibrations caused are severe at the handle bars, but it is the best for my bike and is recommended by so many people for race use, I'd be a fool not to use it.

Once again bro, thank you so so much for the amazing response to my video, people like you are the ones who motivate me to make more and more videos and it really means a lot that you enjoyed my first video so much .
thank you once again, and I'll put that new video up ASAP.

Cheers

Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

Went for a ride this morning to the super market which is 10kms away. I was at full blast in peak traffic with my favorite pillion my wife. I am yet to see a more adorable fearless pillion than her. Ok, I missed crashing at one place as there was slight sand on the road and my back tire started spinning. Have experienced this many times before. Sometime I purposely do it for fun. But today was scary. After the 10km ride guess what my meter showed I was getting a mileage of 11kmpl 100/9L. Ha!!! was shocked but thrilled. I care less about mileage. I get excited when my mileage is less and scream out to my wife to look at the meter. Kinda of feel proud of this.. I should have taken a pic then. But when I slowed down on the way back the figures changed...

The BIG problem is very rarely we get someone who wants to race on the road. I know there is no competition but when these Duke 200 guys come they just smoke me out in traffic. I have never been able to keep up with them in traffic. Of-course I tend to take caution and they are fearless. Maybe age is catching up with me. Back during college days I used to ride like a maniac on my RD350 at used to see that speedo bouncing all over the place and me clinging on for my life.... Well, The RC has brought back that crazy side of me but still cant muster the courage do daring stuff like the old days.

In-fact after a high speed blast I curse myself for riding like that cause I would never forgive myself if anything happens to my dear pillion. I pray while I go to sleep that I should be more responsible. But DAMN when I get on the bike again, I am back to square one forgetting all the rules.

Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

When you say 300V, what grade of 300V are you using? Is it 10/40 or 10/50 or 10/60. I would love the 10/60. I love the vibrations as I feel the power is more raw with vibrations. I infact loved the first 500kms on my bike and I don't like the smoothness now. My bike has done around 3900kms now. I am taking it for oil change tomorrow. Apart from the vibrations, I was wondering what the benefit would the 300V provide on sheer hard acceleration in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear and hard down shifts. If it would protect my engine better with my riding style I don't mind the extra moolah...

Please comment bro. Will wait for your reply and then take her for oil change.

BTW, I am getting the oil, air-filter and spark plug changed. I am also wondering if an NGK iridium spark plug would be better.

The oil won't make a noticeable difference in the acceleration and also it will protect your engine if you have a way harder riding style than most.

I do not believe there is an ngk plug for our bikes, but Id suggest you use it, coz it'll make the response even better

I'm doing a video on the race dynamics piggy back and knn air filter today, will post the link once I finish it .

One last suggestion, if you are using your stock air filter, change it every service

Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

Waiting eagerly! Liked your vlog! Want full info with figures about the remap ecu and sundry attached with it.
