    They haven't given a clear idea on what exactly is pending; but according to the different showrooms that we have here in Bangalore RTO approval for the bike isn't done which is preventing them from giving test rides and delivery of bikes( in few cases).

        Yes, you heard it right! There is no official announcement from KTM India yet, but our sources have informed us that the company is planning to introduce the slipper clutch for the RC motorcycles.

          true that.

          There is a fair chance that RTO approval might come today or max by tomorrow(21-Oct-2014) post which we can expect deliveries to start.

          Guy could these be the reason for late RTO approval for rc390?

            is this something that's kind of ABS?? Hopefully it's available for putting on at a later stage for our first gen RCs..

              rc deliveries at hyderabad,ktm banjara start from Diwali. 10 Rc's this month.. 4 x200's and 6x 390's. that's all the they have in stock for October.
              rode the rc390 around a bit, definitely not comfortable and will be a pain to ride in traffic..at least for me who is 6ft and over 86kgs.

                Incorporating a slipper clutch will not be so easy unless it is already in the works and they just have to assemble it and it will also raise the cost by a bit. So even if the news is true then it possibly wont make it into the RCs until second half of next year.

                I particularly don't see a reason why it is needed in RC390 and I don't prefer it since I am used to engine braking and do not want the slipper clutch to reduce that braking effect.

                  Any new bike that comes into the market, RTO has to approve that model only then that bike can be used on public roads and resgistration can be done.
                  So without this approval the bikes cannot be legally driven on the streets.

                    That's a draft as of now and not an compulsion but yes, this IS going to be mandatory once the law has been passed and the onus will be on the company to get the necessary changes done in all of their vehicles.

                            Does every RTO have to do this ?
                            All the Bangalore RTOs are busy seizing and harassing non KA vehicles. Perhaps that explains the delay.

                              Is this specific to the Local RTO as this problem is only in Bangalore Circle ?
