Ownership review of ktm rc390 (2016) - First i used to own a r15 v2, then after seeing rc390 it gave me the willingness to upgrade. So i purchased ktm rc390 in the year 2016, when ktm launched the rc390 equipped with slipper clutch and aho. It has been 2 years since i have owned it. And have not ridden it much but still have successfully cloaked 16k kms on it. Oftently i use it for sunday rides, few cornering sessions and mostly college travelling. So all this time my rc hasn't given me a single issue till yet. This is one of a kind motorcycle that offers so many things at low price. The power, grunt, stability, what not except for the comfort which you shouldn't be expecting from a track weapon. Its such a motorcycle that it can keep up with superbikes on a ride.Now moving on to service part, it didn't give me much trouble. At free service the bill amount used to be around 2000rs and at paid service it was around 3000rs. I avoided chain clean and lube because i like to do all that stuff by myself. But still its cheaper to maintain, thanks to bajaj for all this. In last service, rather than opting for motul 7100 10w50 fs oil which is usually used by ktm, i opted for shell advance fs 15w50 oil. And before switching oils i did flush my engine with 3m engine flush to get optimum performance. And believe me i didn't ever imagine that a vibrating machine can get a lot smoother. The oil seemed to have magic, and i would definitely say it's far better than motul. I will definitely recommend to use shell engine oil. And i had to change the chain sprockets at 14k kms, this time i bought the rolon chain kit, which is cheaper than ktm oem chain sprocket set costing around 2.5k. And its working great, no issues till yet. I have also changed my tyre set which worn out at 12k kms, again chose the same metzeler m5 h rated tyres which costs around 13k for a complete set. And i have upgraded to the brembo brake pads which gives an amazing bite and feel while braking.I have heard people saying rubbish about ktm and spreading wrong message, but i think ktm is really a great machine to own.Even if i upgrade to a higher capacity motorcycle i wont sell my rc390. Its not a japanese and reliability of ktm is always a question mark, but as such i have not faced any issues, so my ktm which is an european machine, but trying to act like a japanese.
Tips for KTM RC 390 [2020]
Definitely try shell engine oil. If you need to save some money on chain sprocket then go for rolon brand.

I love my RC 390. I always travel on my bike. RC's performance is like a beast like you are riding a beast. But its maintenance cost is a little high. You have to maintain your bike with your pocket open. I suggest you to buy an RC 390. Follow the instructions given and ride your bike safely.

In my opinion, it is a very powerful and aggressive machine in this segment and this is the best bike I used in this segment. its pick-up is next level and it's a very huge engine capacity in this segment, in this bike the braking is on another level so this is the best bike under 400cc bike and this bike is amazing.

I love everything about this bike. In fact, it is one of my favorite bikes. Whenever I ride this bike I feel something that never felt before. It's not a bike to rise it's the emotion of all ktm owners. Sometimes I felt o am flying when I am riding it. Whenever I touch the handle it's indescribable... We cannot measure emotion.

Top speed:- 178 i have clocked. Cornering is excellent. Conclusion:- don’t think and go for this bike

Amazing ride with ktm rc 390

Aejaz Ahmad
It was an amazing experience to watch this bike on roads, i have take this bike from my office colleague to experience it, and i found like i was driving on water, a smooth drive and the pickup is untouchable with any other bike. My age is almost 35 and i saw girls were looking at me lol. The price of this bike is on little higher side, i will suggest to please low down this cost so hat middle class family can afford it.
