        Hi,
        Does anyone know the cost of factory stock ECU and can it be purchased from the SVC

          Yes, anything and everything can be bought from the SVC. Duke's stock ECU costs 14000+. Skeptical about the pricing as it was hearsay during a service visit a year or so back. But prices might have increased or reduced, you can give a call to your SVC, they shall help you out.

          Cheers!

          Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
          The girl said, 'NO!'


          And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.

              Hey guys , I've done around 5k kms on my bike until now . The bike seems to choke a bit on slow revs through the Rev band ,but when I push her hard she seems to ride without any issues . Would this be an issue of the air filter ? Or are there any other factors corresponding to this ?

                This is what I got painted. Not very happy with the outcome as job was done in a hurry while changing the coolant. Suggestions,specially photoshopped ones,are welcome. Please dont suggest matte black.Next probable paintjob shall be during June.

                  Choking means the bike is starved of fuel/air intermittently as you'd feel in carbed bikes. I am guessing you're relating to the jerking motion, snatching back and forth at low revs, is that you're referring here?

                  How much has the bike clocked.

                  Cheers!

                    ODO stands at 5k kms now. No, the jerking motion was present from beginning on lower revs . What I am experiencing is how an Carbed bike would choke if it is denied of proper air intake from say ,a clogged air filter . I can feel it if I try to redline on each gear ,a slight lag when the bike pulls. Am suspecting the air filter as I did a decent amount of rough and dusty off roads on my last trip. Would there be any other factors I should consider ?

                      U mean when there is no fuel in main and about to hit reserve. The throttle timing lags.clean the throttle body and air filter (doubt if it's AF)

                      • RC 390 Paintjob

                        Hi All,
                        I want a white based paintjob on my RC390. It might look similar to the RC8. Did some painting on the panels and the result wasn't good. The combo was not looking really exciting. Since RC book has white written in if.

                          Not bad.
                          I have same theme but with vinyl wrap and it looks great even though it wasn't so good diy.

                            It could be dirty air filter or throttle body. Even bad fuel could be problem.

                                Apart from the air filter, check your fuel pump pressure at the SVC. If possible also check your spark plugs, and your throttle body. But keeping it to the basics, replace the airfilter, observe and please report your experience.
