    Congrats on ur RC well the puncture liquid I got it filled in goa India bike week. As part as cleaning that gap it a very hard task but I manage to use one of those house dusters which looks like a colourful brush

      Hi emon1990.
      Well, since you have clocked so many kms, I am just wondering how the smoothness of the gear shift is? On my bike there is a loud clunk noise when I shift gears. It is smooth and accurate but find it too clunky on the run. It seems like I am going to break something when I change gears.

          It happens in every RC. It's just a normal behavior of bike. Things to note* if you shift at high speed it'll not notch, If you'll change at low/normal speed it will notch. I tried in 5-6 RC the result is same.

            I would certainly agree to that !

              Hey guys, I got my bike today , she is a hoot to drive, I've been doing the break in with a fair bit of engine braking and slow throttle openings, I had a D390 before, I miss the mental pulling rush, but all in all, this bike is way faster and masks the speed incredibly well.

              Few niggles,

              Bike I got had an annoying check engine light that was found out to be caused by the O2 sensor cable being a bit loose, coolant was low upon delivery, and also I had the suspension moved to the 4th notch, now I just hope im doing the break in properly.

              Ride Hard, Ride Safe!

                Hey buddy,
                Need all of these, trying hard to source but all my dealer has is just the stickerset, and the fork protector.
                Could you give me name/webpage of the shop in paris? My friend stays there, will order it through him.

                      Tank Bags : Anybody using them ? I'm looking for a tank bag that can double up as a SLR bag.
                      If someone is using it, can you please share pictures and how it is to re-fuel with the bag? Do I have to take it off completely ?

                        When i had used the dirtsack tankbag, u just had to remove one strap, and slide the bag forwad.
                        After refueling, slide it back, and fix the strap.

                          Gave my RC390 for service at Exact 999Km on the ODO. The bike was cleaned only where one can see with one glance. Picked it up at 6pm so couldn't see it properly until next day morning. The inner part of the bike wasn't cleaned at all(Guess I have to stand there and get it cleaned next time)! The engine oil was replaced with the KTM Recommended Motul 10w50. The engine seems very refined. Vibrations have come down drastically! The bike used to literally wobble during 800 to 999km mark and thats gone now(guess it was the oil). Im finally able to experience the true power of this bike.
                          The cost of First Service was Rs.1925 which includes Engine oil, Oil Filter and VAT.
                          They had removed the REV Limiters but I got them set to 7.5K and 10K RPM. I set them at those 2 because I wanted one for ECO and One for Sport but now RPM1 at 7.5K seems too much for ECO. I think I'll set it to 5K instead. I used to do 65-70kmph in the 6th gear at 5K RPM and have got 35+kmpl doing that! Any suggestions?

                              Hello Friends.
                              I am just wondering how to change the projector bulbs for my RC390. The projectors are exceptionally bright but I dont like the yellow shade. I have Philips Extreme Vision 4300k fitted on my Thunderbird TBTS and I like the white shade the 4300k throws. Have any of you'll tried this on projectors. I am planning to fiddle around with the projectors when I get the time.
