    These 2. Look clearly and see if they look in place to you or loose. You can also put your finger right behind these (from the projector area) to check.

    If it's loose, you can push them in place using your motorcycle's key.
    Need to get those plastic revits, lost mine too.😧😧. tried searching in few hardware stores they didnt fit.😑😑

      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)

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

            The newer generation sintered pads dont do much damage as earlier ones.

              Can you share the source from where you got them?

                  Since you've already done a lot big step in checking how EBC works out in our RC.
                  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.

                    Hardware stores will not have them. You can get them easily from KTM itself.

                        Hi 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.

                          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.

                            It wont do you any good on a stock motor
                            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.

                              Hey bro just want to know what is the power output after installing piggyback ecu. Did you dynoed it? Is it worth the money?
                              I am getting Honda CBR 650F next month. Will be keeping RC 390 too. So just confused whether to get ecu or let the RC be stock.

                                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.
