- One full session at Utah Motorsports Campus, West Track on the KTM RC3C (RC 390). Raw and unedited, no music, just natural sound and my random thoughts. I was a bit blown away by the number of you who have asked for these. If you'd like to see more, let me know in the comments.

An absolutely fantastic video. I loved the sense of being on the track looking through your eyes. Keep them coming!!!
Dave, my heart was ecstatic right from the word go! I mean, I can see places where you felt the need for a bit more power, especially on exits, but boy, grazing pegs, knees, just keeping that thing on the string, something to the RC series that's just lovely. Oh that traffic, bummer! Big bikes turn slow, fast bikes carry speed, perfect!
I’ve never done a track day so I find the clip helpful in getting a sense of what the scene is like.
I loved this whole series. I just picked up an RC390 specifically for its track promise. Thank you so much!
Awesome Awesome!!! You have a very smooth ride. at least than me. I will remember "be patient". Fantastic!
Nice riding and pretty good camera angle I must say! King of the corners is that thing!
I was in the same boat on that thing, held up in the corners until was a safe respectable pass, overtaken on the straight only to be on their tail going into turn 1 because the stopping power. Loads of fun, thanks for letting in your helmet Dave.
Superb ride Dave. So much fun watching you out ride guys with more power but less skill. That little RC390 is a lovely bike. But then KTMs are nicely built and ride well. I had a Duke 125 as my learner, and loved every minute on it, in those heady early days on a bike.
Great video! Thanks for taking us along!
That was fun to watch, thanks!
Looks awesome!
Amazing, respect man, you did great...get you in turn number 1 ..lol
Great riding on the RC! The comedic commentary was gold! Keep the content coming and ride safe!
Glad you enjoyed it
I felt your pain, so much traffic. Excellent video though. Well done Dave, ride well. 🤓 🏍️
Great stuff, love it 😀
‘…joy and transcendent moments’. :) Respect mate.
The lean angle and apex aproach were soo smooth, this vid is the perfect example what skill looks like against just horsepower in straight lines
Thank you!
Nice video and good riding. Learned a lot
Nice ... I was riding Friday and was so rusty ...braking and throttle was garbage till then of the day but had fun have not bin on the bike in over a year .you did a good job on the wifes bike
yup ... same frustrations riding little bikes in slow groups ...
Thanks!
some doctors prescribe more cowbell ...mine prescribed me more track days footage...amazing stuff sir...thank you for sharing with us
I love ur riding, man, and it keeps pushing me into my decision to buy a RC390 '23 model blind.. :D
I made a longer break from motorcycles now and rode some bigger bikes before, actually never supersports until now.
But to get into it (again) and mastering my own riding with such a sick sport tool right out of factory seems really appealing ( i know ur is maximum track build).
I think there isn't much better for twisty roads or some track trainings if you really want to master the skills, especially for that price our dealer puts out.
I get one with akra, quickshifter and some powerparts for 6k€.
The little extra motivation for me is, that if you get fast with that thing, you really can "annoy" some big bikes by just keeping up and eat them alive while cornering.
Thank you for you inspiration, i think i soon will build my own orange Moto3-Street legal RC.
Going to start some diet now and lose some weight and frame..as a former bodybuilding nerd i have to cut something to fit that riding style better! ;D
Greetings from Germany, ride safe!
Hell yeah good job. I would like to see more.
Okay! I have a full session on the 848 I could upload too.
A fine testimonial to " lighter bikes corner faster". Nice, except for all the traffic. Be nice to have a few bikes of same power to race with that you trust in close quarters. Still a great day at the track. More please. :-).
Thank you! 😎👍
Good job
Love the series! I picked up a $500 RC390 and turned it into a dedicated trackbike. Day one I pulled the engine and flatted the head with sandpaper and a glass mirror and put in a thinner headgasket, PowerTronic ECU and quickshifter, YZFR1 rear shock with Racetech spring, Racetech fork springs and 7.5w oil, and full Tyga bodywork. Still have the stock exhaust but even at 100kg in full gear the bike is a blast. Granted i'm in Japan and the tracks are a little smaller/slower...but floating the front wheel in 2nd on a 390 is a blast! The quickshifter really adds to the fun and the sound.
Next im getting the Tyga top clamp and bars, tyga rearsets, and a Tyga exhaust.
$500?!?! Well done! We just ordered an exhaust and an ECU, rearsets and a quickshifter. Even on our big, fast track, the bike is just so much fun to ride!
Love it, here are some of my ideas! Maybe you could participate in an amateur 300cc category? Also, you could put a camera to show brake/gas so we can see how you trail brake etc? Some data would be nice too. Thanks for the awesome content!!!
It may be a slow bike. But it is a fun little thing to whip around! If I could ever find one for a steal of a deal I’d buy one for shits and giggles
I think I used to hit 90+ on my R3 on that front straight. Of course, I also once low sided in the last corner bc I was a total noob and added lean angle and throttle because i was trying too hard.
Thank you. I’ve heard about turning motorcycles at above 25 mph or is it 15 I’m not sure which but I never actually saw it until I watched your video. Thank you very much, it was very subtle but I caught it
Definitely want to see more! Hopefully with less people parking it in the corners lol
Good times
Good stuff, Dave. Welcome to little bike life! FWIW, AiM released an ECU profile for the 390 that will capture some useful measurements if you want to work on your riding with data. I think it captures throttle position, RPM, and gear position if I recall correctly. I haven't looked into it in detail since I sold my 390 but if you're interested in development that way, I'd suggest taking a look.
I'll check it out!
Nice smooth riding. As the old saying goes, skills can make up for lack of power!
Unless its a straight away…. 😆
You win 🏆 first to checkered flag 🏁
Amazing track use, and corner speed.
Sucks the fast bikes keep slowing you down.
88 MILES PER HOUR!!! (Sorry we're both old enough to remember that...) Love how you're calling out "cold tires". I see lots of YCRS here, nice work. I saw a few things I can talk to you offline about if you want. Both good stuff and reminders... Looks like the bike is working pretty good. It's hard to get through corners on the RC390 when bikes are in the way on the apex, I can relate... Woo hoo! I'll try to put a camera on for Attesa or Inde next time I go...
Yeah man, send me an email. I've ordered rear-sets, a pipe and the Grey Area KTM airbox. You were correct. It's hard to leave this bike alone.
The external wish! MORE POWER!!! 😂
What was the Hunter S Thompson quote? It never got fast enough for me.
Nice
Great video. Interesting to know what the base specs are and what you’re allowed to change on the bike for racing
I'm not racing, so I can change anything I want. Everything I've changed so far is detailed in the bike build series. :)
Noice!
The Mantra od today....'Cold tires'
imma run B group next time out so i can make it onto "episode 3, where i roast peoples lines inside my helmet" 🤣🤣🤣
Well for saying its slow, the pack was caught up to on most corners.
Your cornering skill better than the others?
I'm now afraid to ride in another track day ... I don't want to see you rally past me!
Haha. You know that won't be the case.
Great video! 😃👍❤️🏍
I'm curious how much braking you actually needed..... other than slowing for "traffic"??? 🤔
Thanks and keep yourself safe!
Randy
It depends on the speed and the corner. In a lot of cases I build quite a bit of braking, fairly quckly, then slowly ease it off to control the forks compression/rebound and to help steer the bike.
@@CanyonChasers Thanks! 😃👍
Video looked really great. What did you use to get the track footage?
A GoPro strapped to my chest with a microphone taped inside my helmet. It was hard to go full-tuck because the camera was in the way.
@@CanyonChasers Thank you so much. I was wondering about that when the framing was close to the tank and slightly left. I was shocked at how good the audio was too. Great job on that.
Yeah, I had no idea if it would turn out. I actually have another session on the 848 that I'll probably upload here soon.
You can lower the front by 20mm and raise the rear by 20mm, your RC will carry lot of speed in the corners and you will be able brake deeper.
Once you add an ECU with other hardware for the engine, then you can change the front sprocket from 15T to 16T.
If you want I can give the list of parts available for the RC390.
What ECU did you go with?
@@CanyonChasers aracer mini5 standalone ECU with wideband O2 sensor and module.
I knew you were going for groceries!
Haha!
Bike looks great. I ride a 390 and I must say your machine looks a bit down on power. Hopefully something easy to figure out. All the best Dave.
Yep. I thought so too. I think we got it sorted with our most recent video.
Never tracked before, but can someone fill me in. I'm confused @10:34 , don't do what?
Just before tipping into the corner, the guy would swoop out to the outside of the corner. If we want to enter from the outside of the corner (which we do) we should ride to that point in a predictable way. Not swoop or steer to a point last second.
😂 i maintain its not quite as slow as the footage would have us believe...
It cooks along just fine for 40bhp!
What track is this anyways?
This is UMC (formerly Miller Motorsports Park) West Track.
@@CanyonChasers sweet. Have to check it out when im down in that neck of the woods!
How long does it take to warm the tires?
A.lot of variables. But if it's really cold, maybe two laps. If it's really warm, maybe a lap. For most track tires, ideal temperature is around 200-degrees (F)
Why do you use the clutch on up-shifts?
No quick shifter - yet
@@CanyonChasers You don’t need one! :) Maybe you already know this and it’s just a matter of preference? Anyway as long as you time the shift with rolling off and unloading the transmission, the gears will move. You can practice by putting a light load into the shift lever, and then rolling off. The transmission load will briefly go away and bam, you’ve shifted. It’s fast and smooth. I never use my clutch at the track for up-shifts. Still use it for downshifts, of course. A quick shifter will certainly be better, though. Not trash talking, BTW. Genuinely curious. Thanks for all your videos!
Yeah. I have too much mechanical sympathy for my own good. I know it's fine, but it just makes me cry inside when I do it. I tend to just two-finger the clutch halfway - but I did order the quickshfiter earlier this week.
Slow still beat walking !! Enjoy !!
Great vid m8!what top yoke and clip ons do u use???
It's the Driven top triple: amzn.to/38ESQhT with a set of Woodcraft clipons.
I'd get out of that group asap, its actually a detriment to your skill/development navigating traffic like that and there's a chance of inadvertently being rear ended by less experienced riders.
Haha. Yeah. I'm the control rider, so I bounce between all the groups. B-Group is always a bit like the thunderdome. I spend most of my time coaching in C or enjoying myself in A.
@@CanyonChasers gotcha that makes a lot more sense man!
It’s lot safer to overtake on inside, somebody can stand up a bike any time and go wide and you crash.
I totally agree
True, but some trackday providers don't allow inside passing for some reason.
Looks fun & miserable at the same time
It is. I will try again onlky I'll try to time it so I'm not stuck in so much traffic. Haha.
Rak urusan aku meh perang kek meh mati kek meh binasa kek... Uripku wes di gawe susah termasuk indo. Ben ngrasakke i do mati perang.
It‘s VERY SAD, that You didn’t reply to my comments and questions.
It’s a confirmation how superficial AMERICANS can be
So KTM ONLY puts a full fairing on their dog slowest "sport bike"...which is my standard stated reason for boycotting KTM hard to understand their logic especially with the slogan ?ready to race" some of the fastest bikes but they what? Think their sportbikes will be safer with no fairing? Seriously? The man is MENTAL
I am completely befuddled that they compete in MotoGP, yet don't offer a realistic sportbike. The RC8C is brilliant, but who can afford $45K for a track-day toy?
