    Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

    Thanks for your suggestion guys.
    Well as i said if I just take out that number plate bracket it'll tend to vibrate.
    Went to a local fabricator and had the unwanted part cut leaving the ones that lies in between the fairings and the mirror. Now it looks perfect.

      You could have done it in 10₹ and could have saved and kept the number plate holder for obvious / later use.

      For others looking to remove front number plate holder & worried about the gap / vibration :

      Approach any hardware store and ask them for rubber washer. They come in black, white & translucent colour mostly. Hardly costs 2-3₹ for each piece.
      Just get it and see if you require one or two depending on the thickness of the washer. It's rubber so it will compress a bit during tightening. Also, maintaining some sponginess, while leaving almost no room for vibration & movement.

      They look like this :

        Is the current Indian version of the RC390, comes with slipper clutch and all other minor changes except the aluminim exhaust and fairing redesign seen on the euro IV model?

            Yup I did this too recently, at 8k, at the 1 year mark. Are you planning on doing it yourself or at the SVC?
            Its the exact same process as any engine oil change, you drain out all the oil (those 2 drain bolts) and then refill the one you want. Put 1.5L of 300v.
            Do update on the experience with 300v, I didn't really observe much difference to be honest.

              Yup that's how it is in India.

                        I'm always afraid of these stuff, this leaves you directly on road without much to do.

                        How old is your bike & kilometre's ?
                        Were you doing some much pressurised stuff ?

                          KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

                          I did a 480 kilometre ride this weekend and man it is disastrous on road with all the smog in Delhi. The visibility is hardly 70 - 100m + cold + no lights on Yamuna expressway.

                          Rc390's headlights behaved like a Diwali festival on going! *So Bright* ❤️
                          I could still ride at 120-130 and keep up with the fast going cars.

                          I'll try to upload a video later to prove the awesomeness.
                          RC390 performed flawless as always. This time even the pillion had less complaints [emoji23]

                          P.S. : Any idea where in Delhi can I buy (silicon) gel pad to insert it permanently inside stock-seats?
                          Not those readymade gel-seats (uselessly expensive).

                            My bike has done around 17k and its been a year and a month🙂🙂, so i think its time to change it..
                            While i was riding, i felt too much of play in the clutch and i stopped to check, and that was it, turned my bike around and went home in neutral, downhill😋. I will go to bajaj svc and check if they have the clutch cable. Hoping for the best..

                                Yes RCs headlights are gems, very bright.
                                Regarding seat, you can try any seat cover shops, they will insert foam in stock seat, and it shouldnt cost more than 400-500 bucks
