KTM 390 RC engine oil and filter change

[@JH09SUMIT]

Just 1 point. Running the engine for 2-5 minutes before draining the oil is a good practice. This helps to get the oil warmed up and get little bit less viscous. So it drains easily and more oil is able to get out of the case.

was looking for rc390 oil change, to do it myself.. great video (tutorial) 👍 thanks a lot.

[@tappedoutcycles2757]

[@tappedoutcycles2757]

Thank you... We haven't had much time to dedicate to our channel so I'm glad this video helped

[@cah7925]

Nice and clear explanation👌 Which Engine Oil you recommend for KTM Duke 390 apart from Motorex bcoz it isn't available in our country and which one you pick Amsoil Metric 15w50, Motul 300V or 7100 or Putoline Ester Tech 15w50....Thanks😊

[@orangefox1]

Very helpful! Even me, an accountant, will be able to do it!!

[@whateverman7805]

Great video, thank you so much. I'm having a very difficult time screwing the plastic louver centerpiece back in .. I just can't get the holes to line up. It's about a half inch high and I have to push down really hard while blindly trying to get the threads started. If you have any tip I would really appreciate it

Mine is 2015 rc 390 i recently changed the oil and filled 1.7L but the level is not showing on the sight glass.when i tilt the bike to right side like 75° it shows the oil Any solution for it

[@RaulNigli]

Keep it straight up. After you run it for 2 minutes or so, you should see oil in the glass. If you don't, you need to top up your oil till you can see it. You're potentially damaging your bike every time you ride it without sufficient oil. If it's been awhile since you've done an oil change, do a full oil change like this video and continue to monitor oil levels daily. If it drops, take it to the mech

[@vellescumircea4641]

Hello,the drain filter must just be cleaned with the napkins? Or you have to change it with a new one?Thanks

[@tappedoutcycles2757]

You can cleaned it with brake cleaner and compressed air.

Doesn't the manual say u need to use semi-synthethic oil?

[@bigbonede6201]

SAE 15W-50 is what my manual says

[@ginogoossens8952]

@@bigbonede6201 i googled it and apparently it doesn't matter if u use semi of fully synthetic oil. Fully synthetic is slightly better for the engine, but I doubt u will ever notice that.

[@bigbonede6201]

@@ginogoossens8952 just bought mobile 1 full synthetic so I'm glad you just responded 🤣

[@ginogoossens8952]

@@bigbonede6201 haha that's good no problem. I used motul 7200 15w50 I believe (the orange fully synthetic), but I'm sure any 15w50 is fine, and as I said fully synthetic is slightly better.

[@redgaming462]

which oil???

[@tappedoutcycles2757]

We use a Motorex however, as longs as the JASA API ratings are the same it doesn't much matter

[@c.mgs.c2752]

15W50

[@ebolawarrior451]

I’m gonna not watch the whole video and put the oil in the stator side 😂

[@wojiw]

1.6L oli right?

[@tappedoutcycles2757]

I believe so. It’s been awhile since we swapped oil and filter on one of these but that sounds close. Always measure 3/4 up to full mark with bike standing upright. Thanks for following our channel and I hope it was helpful.

[@jimrobert7207]

No torque wrench after telling us how important that you do not over tighten. I know you boys are experienced mechanics but as a tutorial you could do it correctly.

[@doctord1296]

You're correct
