Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience
Mostly it is not covered under warranty (maybe if the bike was relatively new). But again, no harm in asking them if you have a good rapport with them.
First try adjusting it (tightening it) a wee bit.. My bike had a similar issue and a simple tightening a wee bit fixed it (this was at around 24k km on odo). You need to loosen the top nut and then tap the adjusting nut below it using a punch+hammer (make small adjustments) and keep checking if the play vanishes and then tighten the top nut (and remember the handle bar should move freely from side to side).
If the adjustment doesn't work, then go ahead and replace the required parts (either just the ball bearings or the entire race+bearings kit and ensure lots of grease is packed in while installing the bearings)
Yeh maybe. I can't remember exactly if it was 10W or 15W. There was a specification document that i remember reading.. can't seem to find it.

. The motocool expert seems to be made/targeted specifically at motorcycles, so I don't think it shouldn't be doing any harm (been around 6 months now, no issues for me) while the Inugel expert seems to a be a more 'generic' coolant that can be used on cars as well. Their chemistries also probably differ with the motocool being a 'hybrid' type iirc.
. i know some of those folks can be a pain when it comes to using oil/coolant purchased from outside/different brands.
