    You are right. These are pretty sharp and I might bump into someone while riding

      My RC390 clocked 4200 km's in 8 months , i am damm happy with the amount of power and accleration .
      A bit thing which lets me down is the sound . Does it can be improved with K&N Air Filter and does installing it voids warranty ?
      Is their any other solution for the sound or increasing bass as installing exhaust costing a bomb .

        Air filter isn't gonna do anything. If you want to change the exhaust note you'll have to install an exhaust

          K&N air filter will give a distinct sound but not that good..

            Got the first service done today clocked 580KM on ODO. Rs 1596/- service cost for Service oil change, filter change, Labour charges. Had a quick drive from service station to office noticed some changes in vibrations & braking. Will post more in some time.

                I think labour charge means for cleaning chain,which is not free. Tightening and adjusting chain is for free,including washing and polishing.

I have cleaned the disc pads, even took it to the service centre and used their pressure cleaner. It is works without any sound for maybe 10 mins of riding, and then it's back to being squeaky. The folks at KTM blames it on dust accumulation ( which I know is a huge factor) but this is a bit ridiculous.
                  I am facing he same problem.. n no solution till now.. ..apply the front brake and the sound disappear and it comes back again...

                    Chain lubing and cleaning is mentioned seperately.

                      Guys, A buddy and me, plan to do leh ladakh from Blore sometime in june-july 2016. Both will be on Rc390's.
                      Ive heard few guys from Blore have got Leh'd on the RC. Just wanted to know if anybody can suggest people to approach regarding the petrol can carrying brackets.
                      I prefer to borrow/rent out the extra frames and would prefer not fabricating. Since this may be a once in a lifetime thing, dont want to kinda waste money on a frame that will have no use after the big trip :P
                      Thanks in advance

                            So you are saying that the sound is made only when the brakes aren't applied? That should not be happening. That means that the brake pads are mis-aligned and they are scrubbing the rotors.
