    you have to take the rim off and see if it is balanced or not. Then again one side of the tyre generally wears more compared to the other due to the road profile. But it is good to check the rim every 5000km or so and earlier if deemed necessary
    Cheerio!

          Hi folks,
          If any of you living in the Bangalore area desire to sell the belly pans of your RC390 (2016 model and earlier), do PM me. Thinking of fitting 'em on my Duke for a different look. Asking here because a second hand purchase won't break the bank.

            Hello guys,
            I just got a hazard lights set up for my RC 390, not the plug n play one's but KTM mech did it with just a switch.
            The problem is he attached the switch near the frame of the bike close to the engine.
            My concern is about that switch since it'll be exposed to a lot of heat from the engine during long rides.
            Needed your help on suggestions for insulating it from that.
            Thank you.

              Check with service center .. they might have scrapped/little damaged one..

                May be you can change the position from frame to fairing.
                I am using plug n play adapter and its working fine since last year

                  on long rides infact there is less heat as there is constant air flow which continuously keeps things cooler. what is worse is being stuck in traffic. I doubt there will be an issue/failure with the switch due to the heat other than it getting hot to the touch if it is a metal switch
                  you can always relocate the switch to the handle bar maybe on the clutch/brake yoke nut with a small 'patti' i.e. clamp.

                      The RC 390 uses H9 (HB) and H11 (LB) type halogen bulb. You have Philips CrystalVision/Osram and Chinese LEDs and the likes. Consider Philips and the stock itself is an Osram make IIRC. Whiter lights reduces strain on ones eyes, yet under yellow light they provide little to no solace, so do keep that in mind.

                      Cheers!

                      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.

                        Yes i know about the h11 and h9 config...i don't want to upgrade to hid's and Phillips crystal vision are halogens itself which are not providing adequate illumination...so i was looking for some branded led's having good lumens...i saw one from phillips they are expensive and they are just tad brighter than stock halogens..so i neglected them...so the search continues..

                          You can perhaps try LEDs they consume less power and offer better illumination. Keep searching, you might get a good deal somewhere.

                            Hello guys,
                            The LED inside the rear indicator is lose and makes rattling noise when the bike is started.
                            Acc to SVC people only way to rectify it is by replacing it with new ones which costs about 700 bucks. Please suggest some jugaad for this guys😪

                              Won't be of much help. The LED unit is sealed and it's advisable to replace the unit as a whole. You can remove and fix it using cheap glue, but you'd not be able to seal it waterproof, and water condensation can happen and ruin the LED over time. It's wise to replace the thing as a whole.

                                Bought RC390 4 days back. Hear too much vibration noise from battery cover. Any DIY fix for the problem?
                                Also I hear thud noise from back of bike when it goes over bumps or small potholes, is it the tyre hugger or something else?

                                Help me please
