If budget is not an issue, you can get Muck off lube and cleaner, Motul is a bit more cheaper compared to muck off.
If budget is a constrain, try sourcing Diamond/Rolon chain lubes. Not sure if they are available online, these should be there in almost any local motorcycle parts shops.

Stay away from Diamond, it sucks. It's so sticky. Smells funny. And attracts all kinds of dust and dirt. Go for Motul. Irrespective of the budget. Hands down the best lubricant out there. Tried it once and the difference is huge.

Rolon is in noway a budget chain lube

a 120ml bottle costs mrp.140. [MENTION=14756]aaron[/MENTION], Get the OKS chain lube from the svc.. a 500ml bottle i was told cost Rs.350 approx. But I noticed, that rolon was more stickier and hence less messy compared to oks.
For chain clean, the best and economical stuff would be diesel and a brush. It is more effort to do it this way, but i've found it cleans better and you dont have to worry about using too much diesel because its relatively cheaper.

Coolant, the regular motul inugel expert is sufficient. I am not sure if using other brands might compromise on your warranty. If you find they don't, then you could try some of car range of coolants from 'servo'. And servo has the different types, some with much higher boiling points compared to others (read about their various ranges of coolants on their website)

Coolant - there is "cycle logic engine ice" . Apparently this is one of the best coolants for the D390 according to some friends, and it helps in the overheating issue tremendously. Chk it out once.

Go for Tribocor in that case. Easily available on ebay and works well.

I am not sure if you have tried this already.
If you have Yamaha authorized service center, you may get both Motul chain cleaner & lube. If not readily available, you can try ordering through them.

I usually get it from Yamaha ASC.

Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

What about 3m chain lubes? I have used 3m products in cars, it's good. How's 3m for chain lubes? The service guy's told that you can use the 3m lube directly don't need to use wd40 for cleaning. But I'm skeptical about it.

The next time you visit the service center, buy a bottle of OKS. Or as mentioned by another user, get it from the yamaha svc. Or the tvs spray from teh tvs service center.
Rolon stuff i believe should be available at certain local spares shops.. try asking around, I have used it and its good.
Or ask somebody you know who lives in a bigger town/city to courier it to you.
This tribocor stuff is available on ebay.. and supposedly is good too.

Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

aaron dagger - mate you live in varanasi, it isn't a small town, am sure there are a few shops in the city that sell motul...even in allahabad there are at least 2 shops (that i know of) that sell motul products, and i suspect there must be a couple more...try to look for decent lubricant shops in those parts of the city where there are a lot of bike and car related shops.

and in any case, as someone already mentioned, you can also buy motul products from yamaha service centres....

as for online, performance racing store in mumbai sells motul products online, probably also lets gear up in bangalore (they dont have a website, check out their facebook and ask them directly), and also kaulson racing in delhi..

Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

Got myself Cramster Blaster gloves!! Was delivered in a week from Bangalore. Size S for my tiny hands.

The fit is damn perfect! Of course, this means that these can't be removed every 5 minutes. The quality feels good with no rough edges but I have read people having bad experiences, so fingers crossed!! There is good protection at all the critical places while mobility well taken care of. What is reassuring is that even with snug fit, the feel is quite airy. This observation though is only from wearing them for 10 mins inside home; will update on the field performance.
