    Surface rust develops on a chain quite easily in this weather. Especially if the chain is not lubed regularly. Nothing to be particularly alarmed about. Clean and lube.

    Replacement is not warranted for this, replace only if chain or sprockets are worn out. That is the teeth on the sprockets are very blunt or the chain is stretched to a point where it cannot be adjusted to get recommended slack anymore.
    Thanks to all of you.

      Hello everyone. Today before lubing and cleaning the chain of my RC, I saw some rust on the chain (I have attached the pics). I just had a question. Will this create a problem? If yes, is there any solution? Or should I get the chain replaced with a new one?
      PS- I've lubed the chain now.
      Thanking you
      Aman
      Rusting is normal in monsoons, because the lube gets washed off quickly. Nothing to worry about.
      Just clean and lube the chain and you are good to go.
      Also to prevent chain from rusting, clean and lube the chain more frequently ie. check the chain every Sunday, if it is dirty or dry, clean it and lube it.
      I would like to thank my legs for supporting me, my arms for being always by my side and my fingers; I could always count on them.

        Probably the first RC390 to do sach pass. Did it on stock setup. Except for underbelly scraping few times and taking multiple hits, bike performed flawlessly. Really impressed with how she took everything in its stride.

            The tyres held really well offering good traction throughout the stretch.

                      changed the master cylinder to continental gt's, over feel and bite has improved by a lot.

                          i just changed the master cylinder, not the caliper.

                          BTW this has improved braking by a lot, the feel and bite are very good now, ample amount of stopping power but still lacks a bit of initial bite.

                            Hi.
                            I don't think you will be able to get only the 'original decals' only. You will have to get the full fender.
                            Secondly, you can check for some custom graphics/decals on ktmupgradesdotcom. Check their FB page too. They have some good designs and if you want the manager's number, PM me, I'll send it to you.
