Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

Totally hear you buddy. Sometimes, Lord Shani has his own way of pissing us off Better part of it is, your bike is okay with just minor scratches. Don't worry, the more you think about it, the more your brains eats your peace of mind.

Cheers!

Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

Thanks VJ

Bike is fine for all these aspects ..i dont know if some one have done black magic on my bike yesterday..in past 4 years there was no such incident and when you are recovering after first round of scratches you get second round of scratches with fall as bonus..today i got to know 2 person sat on my bike and if i am right with side stand on ..still after 4 years of its existence why people want to sit and i am in pune where you can see lot of ktm bike.

Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

Minor falls won't impact the chassis as such. What you have to worry is are the panels themselves haven't cracked and or the mount points broken. If the bike's okay on these aspects, you're all good to go. Decals can be redone at any stickering shop, they have the right paraphernalia to take care of the stickering job. One thing to take note is to make sure no bubbles are present while sticking the sticker.

Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

Editing means deleting for some reason from mobile so want to add i will open fairing for damage inspection..even my gut feeling there should not be ..but trying to find good shop who can fix these stickers..
After second round of scratches i called them if i can get replacment portion if something of this kind happen in future and they promptly assured that they can send replacement one and no need to change whole set.

Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

You can still live with the scratches. No worries. Or better off replace the fairings if you do not like scratches on them. But yeah, if you're going ahead and replacing the fairings, before fitting the new fairings, make sure and have a look-out on the chassis for any cracks/deep marks/undulations because of the fall. Just to be on a safer side.

Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

Fairing are all fine but scratches are everywhere ..tried to find footage and found out most of the society cctv were not working ..now they will fix it..

Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

So sorry to hear what happened. There are idiots everywhere.
Technically, it shouldn't harm the chassis if the bike fell on a flat surface. The fairings are built in such a way that it can withstand impact to some extent.

Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

Bad day for my RC..morning someone scratched left side fairing at me parking and evening some stupid person sat on bike and made it fall to the right and right side also got scratched while i was just round the corner for tea..hope this doesnot impact chassis.
Ordered decals from CR decals any idea good shop which can fix those near wakad pune please.

Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

The NS 200 has its fuel gauge and pump separately, here in Duke, we have them integrated as one unit. So, one pain point is, floats cannot be independently removed for servicing.

Hope this helps




The contact points can and will oxidize over time, as fuel can react with air inside the tank and cause a improper contacts which can result in this, as I reiterated earlier. You can also try this method provided in the video before opening it up bit by bit. Keep your observations posted.

Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

from what i know, 'hi speed' is the diesel equivalent of 'speed' petrol from bharat petroleum. again petrol prices vary place to place so i have no clue what you got.. if it was 2-3rs more than regular fuel, then it is the 91 octane + additive based.. because higher octane fuels are much more expensive.
as for the difference you felt, it might or might not have been due to the fuel.. difficult to say unless you repeat using the fuel and consistently compare it with from another petrol pump. as i said some pumps also get E10 blend (i.e. 10% ethanol) and it is not necessarily always e10. sometimes e10 sometimes straight 'petrol' because supply of ethanol from cane processing plants isn't streamlined and available at all places all the time.
so you see.. too many factors in play here.

i prefer to fill up the regular fuel and add the additive myself (i don't trust the pumps.. they could very well sell regular fuel labeled as speed).. and my choice of additive is iftex system-g or adon p (i use these every other time i fill up)
