      Yesterday I got into an accident. And the bike fell to the left side...the clutch lever got bent. The thing is I want it replaced as if I'm using gloves it's hard to operate. So either ways I have to replace, I wanted to know if I can put the 2017 RC/Duke adjustable levers to this.
      Thank you.
      Ride safe.
      They are a direct fit

          An exhaust can produce many sounds. One in particular, if you hear that the exhaust produces a popping sound, something like dub dub dub, or something like a firing sound during decel, it's called exhaust backpressure/exhaust pops or backfire. It happens on almost all bikes. But usually, these are caused when the AFR mixture is lean.

          Cheers!

          Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
          The girl said, 'NO!'


          And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.


          THE END

              It's normal, Syed. Nothing to be of significant concern.

                  My bike's air filter, Piston rings will be changed on coming Monday / wednesday. Bike is throwing smoke like a chetak scooter.
                  They will look for more parts if damaged around piston ring.

                  But the bad news as per KTM guys, expect a 28% rise in spare parts, service or anything done at svc from now.

                      Do keep us posted on the value of the spares with the snapshot of the receipt, so that we all get an idea as to what's changed and the GST impact.

                      Are these stock piston and seals? Would love to hear from you and a detailed writeup.

                        Yes sir, stock pistons and Orings which again to my surprise have the same part numbers as the Brembo kit.

                            BTW I forgot to post this earlier, a lot of folks were cribbing about the increased costs of the brake pads, turns out these are from Brembo as well. The bite isn't as aggressive as the EBC HH I was using but it definitely is a step up from the old stock brake pads. If you look closely these are HH rated as well.

                            At 1700 bucks a pair they are roughly a little more than half the cost of the EBCs. If they last as long as the EBCs, I am sold on them.

                              are these the pads which comes equipped with new 2017 rc 390?
