  • Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience

    Hey guys! I am planning to buy horn for my RC 390 bcoz as you know the stock horn is not a match for the bike. Please help me in selecting a suitable horn for the bike. And do tell what to do about saving tank and visor from scratches

      Guys Its purely my view. What I feel is Ktm will introduce the slipper clutch only after launching pulsar 400cs, because if they keep the product same pulsars' sale may eat up KTMs share. So they need to make some notable difference among the two bikes.

                  Thank you. Waiting for the pics and videos. Also if you don't mind, could you please share the riding gear you wore that day? I am thinking of attending this event in BIC (whenever it happens) if it doesn't burn a big hole in the pocket.

                    I was wearing a SOL helmet, RJAYS riding jacket, Rynox half gauntlet glvoes, external knee guards, Tarmac Torque ankle length riding boots.

                    The track requirement was a full face helmet, full jacket with armors, gloves, external knee guards and boots covering ankle. I would suggest checking with BIC since every track has its own set of rules.

                      bic has strict rules of full leather for sure.
                      though when ktm organises a orange track day the rule of only full leather does not apply.

                        If you have shoes and gloves that are ce approved, along with the helmet, you can rent an AGV sport suit for 3000₹ from redline racing store. If you're interested, the track day is on 22nd Feb and I'm going. You can contact BIC for the booking details and book your slot. Booking is 4000₹ per session.
                        Just because you haven't seen it doesnt mean its impossible...expect the unexpected.

                          I checked the Jan 2015 RC and duke 390's clutch and its easily noticeable that RC clutch is harder than the dukes. What a disappointment. I was almost committed to buy the RC this month as its available right away. No waiting period like many of you suffered or are suffering. But i can wait a few weeks for a softer clutch. I have already done my share of palm/forearm exercise on my previous rides i.e pulsar 180 and 200NS and can't bear any more of it.
                          I request if anyone has any updates, please do share.

                              Sorry, that's a very short notice. Won't be able to make it. This is not a KTM organised event. Right? How long is this Rs 4000 session?

                                No, it's not KTM organised. It's an open trackday, any bike allowed. Time would either be 45 min or 60 min, haven't received the official confirmation yet, should be in a day or two.
