      This is the brake oil dispenser. In our bikes its attached to the brake lever. Same dispenser can be seen near our foot brake. Check it out.

        This fogging issue that you're facing was a dreaded disease of the earlier lot 200s where they had their flashers, console, even the inside of headlight in some cases. Usually on humid conditions, or after the bike has been stopped indoors for some time or riding during rain, the console does get fogged up on the inside, it isn't a big problem per se. A ride on a sunny day does get clear the fog up.

        Yes the place where my bike is stored is really humid. My car which is placed side by side also gets whittish patches inside the car which when rubbed with a clean cloth goes away. Yesterday I placed it in the sun and its gone for now.

            Damn my brakes failed it just don't stop and I banged a Honda City which suddenly stopped in front of me. But thanks to my helmet n gears I just got a sprained ankle and wrist . Other than that it was quite an impact only my left mirror cracked and gear lever broke rest all fine but the Honda city's trunk and bumper got a huge dent . Although quite happy that my bike could take the hit.

              I mentioned this earlier in a post, when my brakes failed too... KTM needs to sit up and take notice

                  The picture shows the right side of the handle bar which is the master cylinder for front disk break.

                  FYI : Most super bikes have another master cylinder on the left of the handle bar too which has the hydraulic clutch oil.

                  We can upgrade rc390 to hydraulic clutch too, but don't know if it will be available in India easily.

                      Is there any break pad upgrades available for rc390. If yes can anyone share a link or the name of the product.

                      Thanks in advance, if anyone has used one a review would be much appreciated.

                          Yea hi guys
                          well
                          does anyone know how much time does it take for the new stock of bikes to come from Pune to Lucknow?
                          the manager said 7-10 takes but it's just a 24hour route so I think it shouldn't take more than 3 days

                              that 'thing' is the brake fluid reservoir.
                              for the front brake it is located near the handle bar (even on the rc/duke/pulsar etc..) - that rectangular black box near the front brake lever.
                              And for a rear disc, it is located around the rear brake pedal, as seen on your RC.
                              If you want to mount the rear brake fluid reservoir elsewhere, then you will have to redo all the brake hose plumbing/rerouting.. and there is no guarantee it will work well.
                              Or if you want that plastic reservoir for the front in place of the existing metal one, then you can simply change the reservoir if you are able to find a compatible one.

                                From what i know, a new lot arrives twice a month to the dealers, this is what my dealer told me in mumbai, but this might change depending on the demand, Mumbai to pune is just a 3 hour drive but i had to wait 15 days for mine to arrive.
                                Never ride faster than your guardian angel can fly.
