      Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

      Today went to my local KTM dealer to enquire about RC 390,these are the details given by the salesman:
      On-road price: 2,68,697
      Buying under finance,details below:
      DP: 76,150
      Emi: 7514x36
      6225x48
      Interest rate: 11.75

      I checked this with emi calculator & there is slight difference in Emi..can anyone tell me if the emi & downpayment given are good or should I opt for financing by my own?

        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.
        My bad, i meant master cylinders bore size.
        Motorcycling heals, big time...

          From my experience regarding cost, payment etc (didn't take loan so can't comment on that), different showrooms give different quotes, take a look at other showrooms too. PS I don't know the on road price where you live, but that seems a little excess, do check it out

              Nice mod brother. I did read quite a few posts on other forums how the stock master cylinder is prone to air and moisture getting in the system. This should remove the squishy feel that our brakes give.

              Can you provide a quick summary about the installation procedure, any points to remember as well as the cost ?

              i recently bought EBC sintered HH brake pads for both brakes. Have not installed it yet, but read reviews which claim that the initial bite is improved quite a bit with these. I'll post a review once I get around to installing them.

              cheers !!

                  Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

                  Guys, tiny problem, there's some rattling noise coming from the engine area of the bike (when I get my head close to the side of the bike, I can hear it a lot clearer). It sounds exactly as if a bolt is loose and rattling, like how the battery cover noise is. The sound increases with increase in rpm, as characteristic of a loose part. However, the funny part is that this doesn't happen on a cold engine, the noise is a lot more distinct when the engine heats up, no idea whats causing this. Anyone has any idea what it could be?
                  Thanks!

                      you should get the valve clearance checked.
