    Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

    Having a bad issue with my RC. Handle alignment went off a bit while riding sometime back. Mechs from 2 SVCs couldn't identify the problem. Now I am having shoulder and wrist pains due to that.
    Anyone has faced a similar issue? If yes then what's the solution?

      Anyone using any other bulbs in headlight projectors than the stock bulbs ?

      Not talking about HID's and conversion kits. Just notmal replaceable bulbs.

      Anyone?

        Try H9 bulb for low beam instead of stock H11

          That is a good option but i think they produce lot more heat and draw more current so dont you think it might ruin the reflector inside the projector.Thanks

            RCs both the projectors are designed to withstand the heat generated for 65w bulbs.
            H11 has 55W and H9 has 65W rating, so it is not probelm for projector or reflector as stcok high beam is H9 65W
            yes it will be draw more current but will be small and good with stock wiring.

            I am using it since last 3-4k kms and all is good. H9 gives good illumination on low beam.

                Yea I'm aware of the heat and rating. Thanks for the write up.

                So are you using the stock High Beam bulb for low beam?
                Or any other different brand ?

                  yes, I am using stock High beam bulb for low beam.
                  I tried to get OSRAM H9 but unfortunately they are not available in India online or in car stores.
                  So there was only option to Phoenix H9 from KTM service center which is shipped with stock RC.

                            People are claiming the extra lumens are responsible for more light that we notice but also for the more load on wiring and heat to the projector. It might be a risky affair with the low beam always on. We use high beam on occasional purpose but low beam is going to stay 24x7 on and could cause issues.

                              This is the condition of rear tyre after 12kkms
                              I was thinking to pull out 1-2kkms more but when i closely watched observed that internal steel lines are visible at some points.
                              I was really surprised with performance of metz. even in such condition metz are doing well.

                              will change to pilot street radial soon which is lying in home.
