    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
    I can do that myself too. But I'm looking for gel first, if no luck then this old idea!

    Thanks anyway.

      P.S. : Please don't point about no gloves, I had my reasons.

            It was a total of 112km morning ride. Which had this awesome road and curves for around 10-15 km.

            I completely enjoyed it and to be honest there was not such extra exhaustion. The bike feels so wild and crazy like this that I could go on and on!
            (It wasn't windy that morning, kind of a perfect weather)

            *Always an Eye-Catching too, even among all the KTM's*

              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.
              I recently enquired at the svc and the company engineer . They said i can't use 15w50 grade . I have to use 10w50 only , or else the warranty would be void .

                what i have heard from my svc is that ktm has asked them to stop using the 300v since it was suspect to cause gasket failures. some svc's might allow you to use the 300v.
                the 7100 , 10w50 and 20w50 should not be a problem though, and the svc's sell both these depending on availability. for everyday use, the 7100 is more than enough.

                      KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience





                      Today Morning around 6am!
                      Delhi.

                      Everything is working awesome. Only now the chain is getting loose every 350-400. I guess the life is over. But there is no uneven teeth on any of the sprockets. Svc is suggesting to use the set for more 1500-2000 km by getting it tighten every time it's loose. (It's just 40₹ charges & mostly they do it for free) but I'm thinking of getting a link out of chain to use it.

                      Have anyone done this on RC here?

                        Better to get it replaced (costing around 3.5K), by the way What is the oddo?

                          14,7xx km

                          Yes I will. The thing is, already around 25k+ worth of work is in pipeline (bike & other).
                          So I just wanted to cut some money for a month or so to avoid hole in pocket.

                            Was it comfortable when you rode it for 150km?

                              Once it's tighten. It's like new. No issues. And then it gradually gets loose. I mostly get to notice it by the loose chain noise.

                                Facing some problem with rear brake.
                                There is hardly any feedback whenever i apply the rear brake.
                                I literally have to stand on the brake lever in order to apply rear brake.
                                SVC guys says everything is ok!!
                                Anyone here who can help me out?
