Underseat is used to connect to the ecu, connect alarm system or for any other connection.
The ones below your speedometer are the connectors for turn signals of the European model of the rc

Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

Best part is that it has projectors so we can easily plonk HID and get better illumination...Today I have installed HID in low beam .

HID Kit is 4300K 35WCnight bulb with hylux ASISC chip ballast.

Seller DVJ Auto tech..search in FB..he is a specialist ...



my camera is not good in taking night photos but there is lot of diff...observe the right half part ,there is no black spot

RC low beam projector is a very basic one ..reflect light from all direction and just cut the upper half ...so half of the illuminance is lost...I checked with the seller and he advised that RC projectors are fog light projectors not a High end one which have more complex optics to project more light below the shutter but they are waterproof hence the reason they are installed in RC and there are no better weatherproof alternative as of now.

Also my trusted KTM ASC engineer has installed some part from duke slipper clutch model and it has reduce clutch stiffness by more than 50% atleast and when i compared with duke slipper clutch model than there is not much diff in clutch feel may be 20% more..it is plug and play and cost just RS 100 and take 10-15min to install..I will check my bill and see what was the part number...Pune guys can contact Mr lokesh from adevenoo ASC (karve road),he has done for me..also want to mention Mr lokesh is very helpful ,friendly, very knowledgeable and do job with perfection.

Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

Hi rawat97. I presume you got ur light mod from Debraj. Are you from Kolkata? Which service centre did you get the job done from? Thanks for the part number. Will definitely check up.clutch stiffness is a real pain.

Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

Planning to get the tank (basically the tank cover) painted white. Anybody has done it? Hate the matte black. Not good with photoshop also

Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience


what is price of HID? are they plug n play ? or need some extra wrings..

Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

Obviously it needs extra wiring,fitting of ballast and bulb. Not possible otherwise.

Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

Won't that affect the warranty?

Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

Obviously yes.
Even for after market horn, svc says it can voids warranty.
That's why I like plug n play mods.

Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

HI ...they are not exactly plug and play but not very difficult..I get it done in pune ...obviously it will get warranty void but you can remove and put the OEM bulb back..it will hardly take 30 min to do everything....we are not cutting any wiring ,just installing some new wire in between ..

Yes he is Debraj and i stay in pune ...I have done this retrofit here in pune with some trusted person...I cant take his name for some reason ...but if you want to do it than plz drop me a message ,,I will let you know ....if you want to get more easy clutch than install slipper clutch..lot of ktm svc does that...it will help a lot in clutch feel as well in engine braking which is annoying in 2nd ,3rd gear in low rpm..cost will be 7500INR..i will do it when my bike will ask for clutch plates changes so cost will look less

Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

As most of RC owners i was also annoyed by battery cover ,number plate and left side mirror vibration and thought of showing it to my trusted person..he carefully examined the point for where the vibration is coming and applied tapes in the battery top cover connectors and some more places ..he also worked on number plate and left side mirror...outcome was awesome...vibration was reduced in battery cover by atleast 90% ...and also number plate and left side mirror vibration reduce to extent...
guys who stays near auundh,pune can go there if they want ...i am using it from a week and vibration havnt come back...

Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

I enquired the service manager about the part number and they do have it in stock. Slipper clutch fitment was quoted at 5700ish. I really don't need slipper clutch.just that the clutch mechanism should be a bit soft. Left hand felt numb after a 400km ride.
Hence am asking if the part that u mentioned is working fine or not. Will it be a direct fit?

Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

Anybody???
