How to adjust suspension : • how to adjust the rear...
Excellent first impression video bro, spoke about every aspect of the bike. Looking forward to the comprehensive review down the line. Even "The Everyday India" guy has done a very good ownership video about RC 390. Ride on guys!!! :)
hi Dino I watch your videos too!!!
Yes sir beautifuly explained
Lits up like a christmas tree at night. Les beeauutiful!
Good video :)
Though I find it hard to believe that you felt the RC seat more comfortable than the R15. Either the guys over there have upgraded the seat somewhat like the 2015 Duke slipper clutch model with a softer seat but I mean I just find it really hard. Harder than the R15
Any ways, looking forward for the Hooligan video of yours. Ride safe Oggy :)
+The Everyday India hooligan video soon.....My first service is scheduled for next saturday ;)
+Oggy F +The Everyday India I did a ride in traffic and on the highway on the RC 390, and yes, the neck does take a lot of stress from the riding position. The seat is reasonably ok, IMO. Love the styling of the rear seat though. If not for the sound the bike makes (sounds like an autorickshaw at slow speeds), I would love the bike.
+Biking In India The sound is much better for the person riding it.
Oggy F I've ridden the bike. Not much consolation. I'm saving up for my H2R. (Dreamzzz, sigh!)
+Oggy F yeah!!! i love the sound of KTM bikes!!!
The Sound of that radiator fan though :)
I own an RC 390 myself, and I've always found that it sounds like some sort of turbine
Very nice video, thanks! Greetings from Seattle, WA, USA.
i have ridden my frnd's RC390 and i loved that dedicated seating position .
hey oggy f, just was curious to know from where did you installed those blind spot removers ?
I completely agree with you.Unlike 90% of the people riding RCs I too never experienced wrist or back pain till now.Only neck pain for a bit.Headlights are epic :D
I've been planning to get this bike...probably in Feb2016 I'll get one. This was very informative.
Subscribed.
+Rahul Nair thank you. Glad you found the video useful :).
When u said about issues on r15 headlamps in nite.... I remembered the giant pothole we ran into on our return from lavassa!!
+Ari'd I thank my lucky stars every time I sit on a motorcycle. That could've been a lot worse for all of us. Someone up there doesn't want me with them yet :).
+Oggy F true that... The RC looks amazing.... Lookin frwrd to ride wid u brother
That Switching day/night mode tho! 😅😂
binge watching oggy's vlogs . rage sounded much better back then . i donno i think its just me .
Great review, buddy. I had booked this orange a while back. But had to cancel it. Figured there's no point getting a new bike if I'm gonna leave India next year. So my trusty R15 will have to do till then.
Proper and honest review of RC 390.. Yes u spotted it! we tend to look up all the times when we ride that motorcycle because of that aggressive(sporty) riding style. But u vl get used to it in a short period of time, i have ridden it almost 200 kms a day once but i have not felt any kind of 'pain' what so ever. Yes ur rite, R15 is more 'refined' and user friendly compared to ktm 390s, 390s feel more gruff @ lower rpms..there is a reason for that, 390s have a higher compression ratio(12.6:1) which is equivalent to compression ratio of 'SBK'S!! Thus they tend to heat up a lot at lower rpms..but i observed that 'heating issue' reduced dramatically in my ktm duke 390 after its 3rd service,,so u can expect ur bike feels 'smoother' after initial run in period and a 3rd service..ride hard and ride safe..
+DOCKRP 390 thanks for the info.
+Oggy F Just a suggestion, if you are facing a lot of heat on RC390, its due to
the stock coolant provided by KTM, I would suggest you could go for
After amrket Motul coolant(top of the line) which solves the heating
issue.
Tech.Rider will try that out...thanks.
Tysm bro i just sold my r15v2 booked rc390 now this video was very helful
Hey Oggy, why made you pick RC 390 over Yamaha R3 ?
i too ride 40-45 kms everydy...nd im 5'8".nd im eagerly waiting for ur more views on it .so pls ..dont disappear this time ...ty!!!!!!!!
Beautiful video I just loved the way u put it in thanxxx a lot for making this video as I'm gonna purchase the 2017 KTM RC 390 👍👌
+Zen Dsouza glad I could help. Congratulations on the new bike
Thanxxx bro😊☺️
Hey, thanks a lot for the first look. I do have a question, as being from mumbai too I'm planning to get my second bike after monsoon this year. Would it be recommended to wait for the 2017 rc 390 overhaul? I dont mind waiting at all for the cornering ABS upgrade next year.
Same story bro , I have a r15 v2 about 4 yrs , and I want to bye the RC 390 as it's the best upgrade to me as far as power and acceleration is concerned and I find this video really helpful as u r very honest with your opinions , gud job bro . so is there anything else that I have to look for ? please tell me.
I guess riding occasionally hard is good for better break in for performance and you should share that fuel economy as after break in efficiency is not much
Hello man! This is snk, a ktm lover from a rural area. I am asking you a few questions about it. 1. I live about 45km away from the KTM authorised dealer and service centre. Is it safe for me to go for an RC390/200 when servicing and maintenance are concerned? 2. How about the fuel economy if I find myself a weekend tourer (short ride tour or long drive) and the comfort also? Do I have to ride daily to keep the battery ok?
I ride my Duke 390 to office everyday (~50km round trip) in moderately high traffic and IMO there is no heating issue. It does obviously heat up more than my Apache 180, but it's just a matter of getting used to. Yes, I must agree that it's NVH levels are much higher than the R3 or N300, but I found it to be much more exciting than the other two (this is my opinion, do not pounce on me)
amazing video. Nicely put. agree on a lot of things such as the mirrors, seat etc on the R15 V2. Lol for the 'make out couple'.
+Amey Potdar I could make out that they were going to make out :P
I'm 171cm. as you mentioned it is aggressive for shorter riders which one should i go for Duke or RC 390???
btw great video n Congo for the new bike...
I’m getting mine in three days , I just hope this was a good buy. Thx for the video !
So, how is it?
I m confused in between rc390 2017 model and 2016 model
So which one would be better
richa das 2017 is better
Can you please do a separate video on benefits of blind spot mirrors , it would be really helpful.
Where to place them , some practical case scenarios would also help.
+Sanket Sonavane great idea....will try and record that.
+Oggy F I ordered one right away from eBay for my duke 390. some 3R adjustable blind spot mirror cost me 214 Rs. looking forward to ur video. this is a worthy investment for sure.
Hey Oggy F ... I have CBR 250R and I am planning to upgrade... do you think RC 390 is good to go for or do you think Benelli TNT 300 is better ???? Share your thoughts....
the video is amazing mahn......just wish tht u would hv done this video 2 weeks ago.....cause evn I bought a new Duke 390 2 weeks ago.....and ws hell lot of confused between the RC or duke.......bt thn great video mahn.....
+Archi Kathuria either way both 390s are fun. Congratulations on your new bike :). Ride safe.
+Oggy F thanks bruh......!! eager to see u ride hard.....!!
beautifully made video oggy. GBU.. keep uploading more awesome videos
I've seen many reviews online.. But no one actually talks about the pillion seat.. How comfortable is the person sitting back there?
hai I'm going to own rc 390 I'm 18 years old is I'm able to control the beast or ?? comparing to ninja 300 which is good plz reply
take the same points and make it for Rc200 and please share the mileage of RC 200
How would this bike fair for occasional long rides? (In terms of Comfort and fatigue)
Rc200 vs mojo .... What to buy .. as a first bike
Hi Oggy,i have plans of buying this bike but how do you feel it would cope with very tall riders,coz i'm 6'2 and do you think it would be comfortable for tall ppl.?
I have noticed some buzzing sound from the left windshield side on my rc390 2017. it has only done 50KM. please let me know if it is a normal issue with RC.
hey oggy what is the mileage of your RC 390 ...in city and in highway
is the 2017 rc 390 is good for daily use
hey what is your opinion on the exhaust note. red torpedo was so smother and refined whereas this here sounds like a tractor and vibrates like hell
+Rohit Dara honestly, the engine note sounds better when you're on the bike. I kinda like it.
Hey oggy f, whats the exact mileage you get on rc 390 in evryday city traffic ???
i am 5.6 inch will that cause pain and aches while driving in city conditions
From where i can get the same round mirrors u have brother..??
HI THERE ...YOUR VIDEO IS VERY USEFULL... I AM VERY MUCH CONFUSE BETWEEN DUKE 390 AND RC 390... PLEASE TELL ME WICH ONE IS EASY FOR DAILY USE....
+hardik chaudhary duke 390....if you're not used to the riding position, the RC might be a bit too much to handle.
Hi oggy !
I do have a rc 390 & U have mentioned that we can adjust the rear suspension of the bike by the tools provided by the ktm.
So what's the procedure to adjust its suspension?
+rohaan khan ruclips.net/video/IWz6LgXd9no/видео.html

Can you test ride a RC390 2016 and give your comparison-ish impression

Hey what kind of a mic do you use..??
and yeah buddy how much time did it take for you to complete 1000kms ?
Bhai y yamuna expressway h na???
bro how is the long term reliability of this bike?...as I am going to buy this in a month or two 🙂
Hey can you help me with the paid service costs and mileage. i am looking to buy rc 390 2017 next week.
I haven't ridden any ktm bikes so far so can u explain how is the power delivery compare to r15 do RC has row power
Comparing 150. To 373 n asking abt how is the power delivery?? Dnt u hv any idea
Its 44hp bike which is way more ahead than ur baby r15
Are u going to go for the fender eliminator??
+Kashish K. Soi (Mr.501) definitely have plans for it.
That's awesome to hear...
+Kashish K. Soi (Mr.501) ayeee xD i might buy the 2016 one. what about you?
I would love to buy one too let see what the results bring to the table bro...!!

HEY OGGY F i just completed my class 12 and want to buy a bike for my college.. can you recommend me a bike or the RC 390 would be a perfect choice :) .
Would the Rc 390 be good as a first bike...? :)
+Oggy F Can you do a test drive on the Aprilia SR150 and give us your opinions on it? :)
bro where can I get the blind spots from for the mirrors ?
hi oggy m from guwahati aah wana buy ktm duke 390 but i hrd about d heating issue is it a serious issue ??
what about the mileage ?????
why you choose rc 390 instead of duke 390. I mean you do more of city ride were duke would be great bike.(even do I love rc but just want to know your opinion)
+ROAD KING Just a personal preference, I prefer motorcycles with full fairing.
+Oggy F ok thanks bro
very comprehensive and detailed....
+sumit manghnani thanks :)
RC 390 or the R3? il be mostly upgrading to a supersport in a year after getting a bike
Thank you so much for the response, this really does help a lot :)
Hey Oggy F, I saw one thing similar with your bike mirrors of this RC390 and R15, I guess it's Convex Mirror in your both bike's mirror.
yup I try not to ride without them :)
Sahi hai bhai.. chahe kuch v ho..apna bike ka tarif krte rho..
Hi 5! 🙋
I use blind spot removers for my motorcycle too
Although I ride a Duke 390, which has the worst mirrors for a motorcycle. Blind spot removers were a 'must have' in my case :P
indeed....I highly recommend installing blind spot removers on any motorcycle
which go pro u use?
you could have bought a cbr 250 abs, its a very good, refined, reliable and comfortable bike :)
Hi Oggy!! I wanna know which bike did you own before RC390 ?
R15 v2.0
is it not fit for the heights below 5.8
i want to take duke 135cc is it ok
I liked that day night transition there ;)
Are you a full time RUclipsr?
I'm about to buy my FIRST bike probably within 2-3 months, yea first bike, so will RC 390 be a good bike for a beginner or as first bike?
please suggest, Thank you.
subonkar samanta for a beginner ride u must go for rc 200
Hi Oggy F.Can you determine how is Pulsar rs 200. I will mostly have weekend riding and long touring once in a month.
Can you advise how good it the bike on highways in terms of stability and speed.
My concern in stability on highways.
it's a good bike for touring. Has front abs to as standard so it's safe. Not sure about high speeds and stability but quite a few people who ride here over the weekends have it so it must be good.
+Oggy F thanks man for the info
what about the rc390 with the slipper clutch its just a hoax or its really gonna be launched
The guys from ktm didn't know about it when I asked so I'm guessing it ain't gonna happen anytime soon
Thnx for this video man.. Helped a lot
do a how to break in video
Bro I'm 5'5 Will RC suit Me???
if you back, shoulder and wrist pain. you're sitting wrong. neck pain is probably because of a heavy or a lose helmet
oggy i hav. a question abt wheelie in this bike am going to purchase this bike soon but i am a biginner so if i rave some wht hard will wheelie take place? coz am scared of wheelie plz replay
I bought the rc390 2 months ago and even with aggressive acceleration as long as you launch correctly you are unlikely to wheelie although if your really trying and know what your doing it can wheelie
Hey dude what is the name of the helmet you are wearing?
+TKK951 Icon airframe
+Oggy F what is the name of the Gloves you are wearing?
What's ur mileage
dood , i own an rc 200 . bt i had not set any rev limit while riding during the break in period .everytime i reved up hard honestly i had clocked at 135 km/hr . and now i completed the first service . bt i dont feeel any problems at all in case of vibes , smoothness and mileage .
actually will i face any problems in future ???
+Malik kabeer Hopefully you won't. But there's a reason the manufacturer recommends not exceeding certain speeds/rev ranges until completing the break in period.
Thx for video.
Nice ownership review
oggy..m confused wit d 2015 duke 390 n d rc 390..wch one shld i pick..my daily use will b for some 30 kms .n m 5ft 9..plz help me out on dis..n btw..great vdo...ride safe..cheers:)
+BJ Karthik What did you buy bro am also stucked in the same situation :(
+Chets ˆ bro..I'll b buying within a month or so..i think I'll go wit d rc...cos..i have plans for switching to higher cc sports bike..n as oggy said..der is probs..regarding wrist or back..until its a long ride..n my ride everyday will b short for 30-40 kms..but..its up to u bro..ure riding style..n ure use.btw..i can assure..no matter wch u buy it will always bring a smile on ure face wen u ride ..atb bro..cheers:-)
Same here 2016 RC would be worth waiting, And it also keeps up well with higher cc bikes on highways so i think rc 390 is a good choice :)) Thanks for your opinion, And any idea when will the new 2016 model rc 390 be launched?
+Chets ˆ even..m thinking of waiting..i think..d release will b after d auto expo on feb..but patience ki bhi hadh hoti hai yaar:-p
BJ Karthik I check the auto expo schedule KTM is not included on the list i think its gonna launch in Jan
Thumbnail is it you?
Hey oggy its vaibhav here i m a subscriber of ur RUclips channel i m a student n want to buy a new bike is rc 390 is right choice for me as mileage is not a issue but thing i want know i have been hearing about quality issues on rc does it is really that bad in terms of quality what do you feel urself how is quality of the bike
+vaibhav chauhan Firstly for your first bike, I wouldn't recommend the RC. It's a bit too raw and powerful for a beginner. If you're hellbent on buying it, there are quality issues. My advice would be to buy a Japanese bike first, use it, learn how to maintain it (they're generally more reliable) and then when you know enough about motorcycle, then consider the RC390.
+Oggy F so r3 is the bike i should go for...? Btw thanks a ton for replying
vaibhav chauhan
Yup , it's refined and has a gradual power delivery. Whatever your decision, please take a test ride before buying.
+Oggy F btw my frnd own a rc 390 n I really enjoyed riding it so i m little bit biased towards rc
heyy your audio breaks a lot in the video
What are the issues with R15's headlamps?
+Ankur Goyal for dual headlamps, they don't illuminate the road that well.
Thanks!
Great job Bhai 👍🏼
i too agree i never got a back pain on my RC390..........its jst a matter of time once u get used to your RC there is no such thing as back pain wrist pain or neck pain.........i have made long tours from pune to aurangabad and mumbai but there was no pain anywhere except my ass...!!!!drivers seat uncomfortable for long rides
+Most wanted 2 every weekend i do a ride from pune to aurangabad and back from aurangabad to pune total 240 kms ...so i take only 1 break during the ride and it take me 3 hrs to cover this distance....there are no vibrations in my rc at high speed ...so no vibration effect on me also ..but a bit ass pain when u get down the bike ....for a moment . N if u also luv riding its fine to take a 200 kms up and down riding every weekend
240 km in 3hrs 😌
Really thanks bro it helps me a lot👍🏻
Hello bro, Am confused now whether to buy kTm RC 390 (2015 Model) or wait for kTm RC 390 (2016 Model) Some one help me please
Wait for the new 2016 model, it will come equipped with slipper clutch and better ABS. (Plus aluminium exhaust!)
Any idea when will it launch?
+Chets ˆ All I know is that it might/will be show cased in the Delhi Auto Expo. It might launch soon after that. All I say is wait.
2016 model also got more padding in the seat :) its up on swedish ktm site
what about the clutch I listen that clutch is hard and slipper clutch not feted in RC .. what speed the company say don't cross in first 1000 km riding
+Gulshan Bangia it's not about speed, it's about RPM limit. The clutch is harder and takes time to get used to. No slipper clutch now and from what the KTM guys said, no plans of it in 2016 either.
+Oggy F ook I don't know much about rpm I'm always confused between speed and rpm . I wating for slipper clutch from last 6 months I'm thinking hope they add in 2016 model but now sad to know that there is no plan of adding even in 2016 . pls can u explain the RPM little bit make video or something else thanks
Reply to the subscriber comments. That would help us @Oggy F
can a 5.5 feet tall person can ride it
take a test drive at the showroom,
Really informative video.
dude, i'm exactly 5 foot 11, i hope you ur rc is comfortable to you (is it so far? i'll search for a latest vid, i'd love a latest review, this been an (screw u batsy, batsy is my ex who keeps correcting my english) year. I'm planning to get it when i can :(
