Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

This time before going for a new chain/sprocket, just ask them to replace only the rubber dampers (cush rubbers) in the rear hub and see if that fixes the uneven slack. But first get it cleaned, lubed and adjusted correctly(correct procedure given in the manual.. follow it to the T).. some mechanics i've seen do not adjust it properly, its either too taut or the alignment is off.
Also post pics of the front and rear sprockets.. if they are worn beyond useful life, then it's to replace it all.

Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

I would do that this time if the issue persists after cleaning and would post the pictures of the sprockets too . Have never given the bike to mechanics for chain adjustments,maybe am missing the alignment while adjusting . Will get to the bottom of this before I get a new chain kit .

Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

No it won't. It's just the coolant overflow bike so unless you really get the bike overheated it will fine. I have been riding for weeks with the same issue and no probs. Planning to fix it rather than replace as I imagine the new one will be made of the same crap and will break too.

Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

Chains almost always wear in an uneven pattern, and it's mostly the chaps at SVC who either tight it either extra taut or without properly checking the alignment of the wheel and what not, just to give you a perspective. First off, recommend you to visually inspect the chain, at the loosest spot, try pulling the chain horizontally from the end of the rear sprocket, if the chain comes out or exposes a tooth significantly, we can pretty much assume your chain has seen the days, and it's time for a new one. If the extension is moderate, suggest you readjust your slack accordingly...

Search for "RC390: MRF Revz C1 & FC1 Radial Tyres Test: 500 kms 1 Week Review" in Google, Bike Advice

Go through this article and you will get your answers.

Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

I have.

And personally saying, all the articles and reviews online are just not completely true or accurate. I even tried making a video review of it but all 3 times there were some issue and I lost all the video files. So I gave up on it.

In reviews you'll read that this mrf looks bigger but in actually even being the same size it looks smaller from side and rear.

I've clocked around 5000+ km till now.
If you're not a corner guy ( not even those normal ones) you can go for it.
You can do your dramatic braking, powerwheelies, clutch wheelies, dragging, revving full speed, revving in dust - gravel for those dust blowing burnouts happily because there's no fear of loosing the tyre grip as we have in Metzeler.

This tyre is good for touring (I've done few along with pillion and luggage),
daily commute (I'm doing),
And those highway speed runs to achieve top end or to see everyone in rvm
And, all the things I've mentioned above.
Please do no get if you're into cornering.

For around 3500₹, you can abuse this tyre and still use it for same or more life than Metzeler.
I started abusing it right after the minute they were installed and still they have not shown any such drastic rubber wearing off.

My advice would be to use nitrogen from day 1, don't treat it like Metzeler - it's no where near to it but it does its own work excellently.
And, enjoy! [emoji1373]

Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

how is the mrfC1 compared to Michelin pilot street radial???

Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

Remove the battery cover and just lightly press the slots under the tank cover which lock the battery cover. The vibrations will go away. Don't use too much pressure as it might break, just press a little and it will go

Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

Bro thanks for ur reply but i have completely pressed it in the locks below the tank but its still vibrating!!

Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

Just put some double sided tape and its done.

Search in this thread for more details.

Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

What i meant was, before putting the cover back on just press the locks under the cover a little. Double sided tape didn't work for me.

Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

Ok bro i will check it out how its gonna work thanks
