Guys the recommended petrol for RC 390 is RON 95, reading through many other forums i saw that in India we have only RON 93 or RON 97 available and RON 97 is available only in BPCL as speed 97, which still doesnt meet the requiremnt of recommended fuel as the fuel should not be high in octale too as thats also is not good.

The point I want to make is do we really need to be worried about using RON 95 fuel or is it ok to use the usual RON 91 which is the current fuel type available in all the bunks.

Or else if anyone can recommend any other premium fuel for RC 390 that is available easily in bangalore ( apart from shell as it is also RON 91 with extra additives)

Just as with the dukes, even the RCs were tested with all available fuel brands in all states in India where these bikes are sold. So as long as you fill up at a good fuel bunk (not the small filthy ones) your bike will work fine.

AFAIK svc offers akrapović exhaust but no ecu remap.
one can get race dynamics piggyback ecu.
But I'm skeptical of 5bhp power bump.

How much are they charging for the exhaust and at which dealership is it available ?

Here in Lucknow svc they don't have it available but on orders they source it form jv promoto or bachoo motors etc.

The cost will around 30k 😥for akrapović and 20k for ixil.
I don't know the exact figures.

Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

Just encountered a careless incident few minutes ago i was returning home from main city, I was near a crowded square ( near telibandha lake those who know raipur city they know this place ), two bikers came one on p220 and other on RC390 they were driving like crazy or i should say like a mad bull that too without even a helmet. Other vehicles were in very slow speed because of traffic signal near square but they didn't slow their speeds. My point here is that if just a touch from other vehicles could have caused a major accident and can cause others life im danger. I don't care about their life because the way they were driving i think they don't love their life.

Ride safe

I don't think it's a street legal bike. Notice the foot pegs are not standard and the handle bar doesn't have any switch gear as required for electrical like horns and stuff.
