KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience
50km review of EBC sintered pads
Changed my brakepads to Ebc after 13k kms on stock pads. My issue was after some time, stock pads braking force used to fade away. Hence thought of trying these pads. These pads have changed the braking completely. Bite is more, feedback is more and you know exactly what front end is doing. I don't know how long these will last but the 2k i paid for it is totally worth it.
Next up: R6 shock swap(I have already got hands on one of them, working on few small things before I install it. Everything about shock is there on international rc forum)Last edited by ynike99; 08-24-2016, 12:02 AM.Motorcycling heals, big time...

Don't the EBC's eat away the rotors?

Please keep a track of your riding style, braking type
And how many kilometres it will last. It will help a lot
of people on deciding.
First I was Scared But then We Made a Deal

Hardware stores will not have them. You can get them easily from KTM itself.Originally posted by sheru5 View PostNeed to get those plastic revits, lost mine too.[emoji47][emoji47]. tried searching in few hardware stores they didnt fit.[emoji58][emoji58]First I was Scared But then We Made a Deal

Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience
Bro i would seriously advice you to read a lot of reviews before u change to K&N or any aftermarket filter for the 390 and then decide.Originally posted by drswastik View PostHi friends,
my rc has done 3500 kms. I want to change to K&N Filter.
I would like to know if it is worth upgrading. where can i get it online.
Are there any DIY videos for airfilter change.

If u get ecu remap then install one, you will get some gains.
I have a k&n replacement filter installed on my bike along with powertronic piggyback ecu.

Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience
If your going to do track days then its advisable, or you can also get maps for touring n commuting around. Honestly I feel the KTM engines take a lot of stress in stock form as it is, I might be wrong, just a thought.Originally posted by drarchit View PostHey bro just want to know what is the power output after installing piggyback ecu.
