      Hi Bro.
      I follow all your videos on Youtube. You wheelies are just awesome. I wish I could pull off something like that. I used to do this stuff earlier during college days. Now after getting the RC390 I am craving to start learning wheelies on this bike. However from what I have read is that wheelies tend to have a drastic effect on the chassis. The chassis tends to sometimes crack due to the force the bike comes down with. Not forgetting the shocker oil seal damage which might be a cheap fix, but the chassis damage is of great concern.

        Bike has done 800 kms already, Need some advise about service center.
        I have 2 options one in Ghaziabad and other one in Noida. The showroom themselves emphasized on getting it serviced from Noida.
        Can NCR Xbhpian please advise on how this service center is, or any other option?

          Anyways, i have got the government issued number plate fixed on the front of the RC390. And damn, they vibrate like hell and make that tin can noise.
          So I intend to remove them and have a sticker on the visor for the number. I know its illegal but I am tired of that sound.
          Has anyone done a jugaad here to fix the rvms without the number plate. The number plate holder acts as a washer for the RVM. I can get it cut to size of the rvm base but that feels crude.
          Any suggestions?
          I got the plate holder cut and the mirrors are holdin up pretty good.. 0 vibrations !

              Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

              So I have been riding my RC390 for four months now without any riding gear. I know its a bad thing but then I've been struggling to find proper gear. It sounds stupid but I cannot really wear a Riding Jacket to College everyday. There is no way I can carry it around once I reach college. I didn't want to spend blindly on riding gloves so I borrowed a pair of Spartan and a pair of Zeus full gauntlet gloves from friends but they aren't comfortable in traffic as they don't have enough air flow.

              Now what I'm looking for is gear that should protect me and fit into my backpack so that I can just enter class with everything in my bag. Can someone suggest a way to achieve this?
              Thanks!
              P.S- I know this is not the right thread for Riding gear. I don't mind deleting this if it's not meant to be here.

                  OK. I'll go directly to the store its just 7km from where I stay.
                  Is it a good idea to buy bionic elbow and knee protectors instead of a riding Jacket? I can just put them in my backpack after riding.

                    I am planning to buy Rc 390 soon. Couple of questions for the owners
                    1.) price of chain set
                    2.) approx mileage
                    3.) cost of disc pads
                    4.) approx service cost
                    Thanks in advance

                      Was just surfing the internet to find out if a super sport motorcycle can do off roading and found out some cool and relevant results, It may also help people thinking of taking the rc 390 to mountain tops.

                            Tyres are worn out at 5K ? I had done 10k on mine, and there is still room for more.

                            If you can find and afford it - Metz is the way to go! Folks who have switched to Michelin says you wont really notice the difference unless and until you do some crazy lean angles on them.

                              Just an observation from yesterday. Its bloody necessary to get good traction. I was so nervous on duke mrfs. N yes after the saddlesore I feel abs should be mandatory in every bike. Period.

                                Yea mate!!! It worned out because i do cornering on my bike every weekend. And my friends who ride CBR250 have Michelin PSR and it performs really well even in rains. I cant imagine doing cornering in rain though i have Metz. I tried but it skidded.
