- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ค. 2020
- After a year of testing 2 stock radiator fans and 1 SPAL aftermarket fan, I've finally found the best solution to resolve any remaining heating issues with my 2015 RC390. In this video, we recap what steps we took in the first 2 videos of the series and dive deeper into the effect the radiator fan and brake caliper pistons could have on your motorcycle's heat management.

I don’t even own a KTM anymore yet I still watched this. No such thing as an OGGYF vid I haven’t watched yet.
Hahaha you're too kind. Thank you for watching.
Yo ,I've a royal Enfield classic 350 , but still watches all his videos 😉
I don't have KTM but still knowledge is Power ♥️
Thank you! It sure is 👍🏻
Power is power
You make great videos. Short, crisp and brilliantly summarized at the end. No nonsense. Like!
Thorough , clear and concise. Thank you 😊
I own the 2015 RC390 and KTM changed the fan under warranty. Working fine since then. Always had the query regarding the SPAL fan and its longevity, thanks for clearing it out.
That's awesome. I'm guessing you got the one with the shroud then when you changed it over. I'm told they still make that one so if the one you have does give up on you someday, do ask them for the fan from the 2018 models. Ride safe buddy.
hi oggyf. found a right one i guess. having the same issue with my 2017 ktm rc. but your last point was very sensible.. im getting both my tyres & brake pads checked soon. only recently i'm having this overheating issues in town rides for a short moment (10-15 minutes)
Love it. Liked and subscribed Oggy 👍 greetings from Ireland. Our weather is cold AF but my 2016 duke 390 overheated today... Radiator is clean. Coolant levels are perfect and the fan appears to be working but still overheating. I'm leaning towards temperature sensor...
Thank you ❤️ for the Video Oggy Bro🤘🏽
You're welcome Sairaj. Ride safe. ✌🏻

Sir, what's you engine oil changing interval?
bro finally an indian zoutube mechanic who speaks english and not half sentence in indian and the other half in english
Not a mechanic bro. Just someone who likes motorcycles 😊
@@OggyF Well for me you re mechanic, cuz you know more than I do, anyway this video gave me better view of my cooling problem
@@lukaslenghart671 glad I could help. Ride safe bud ✌🏻
Bro, is it possible to fit adventure 390 cooling system in rc 390? Please tell, I ride hard in the twisties and gets very hot because of riding in higher rpms…my head gaskets also blow up twice a year 😔
The way you talk about bikes tempts me right now to go and sit on my bike and ride...but it’s raining heavily outside 😅😅
Hi, Whats the part number for the fan you used from the 2019 model. Thanks
I was thinking that Oggy hasn't uploaded for a long time
And here you are 😊
Btw big fan👍
I can read your thoughts and hit the publish button when you thought that 😉. Thanks for watching and for the support
Bro which company coolent is best for ktm rc390
Was waiting for your video bro 😍☺️❤️
Thanks Jeev. Hope you liked it.
@@OggyFWill always love your videos Brother
Can it be changed to 2015 rc 390 plz check let me
Great video.. do you know if the duke 390 adventure radiator will fit on the duke 390 bs3?
Doubt it will. The 390 adventure's radiator is larger and has 2 radiator fans.
@oggy your knowledge and experience you share are useful 🤗
Thank you bro. Just trying to help others who've not yet found a solution to this. Thanks for watching bro 🤙🏻
@@OggyF Great bro i dnt own ktm and have Yamaha fazer but still the way you narrate everything i can visualise it 😎
The FZ S was my first motorcycle ever. Was very split between buying that or the Fazer and finally went with the FZ because it looked like it was easier to ride at lower speeds. Time flies and in hindsight I would've picked the Fazer so I could tour better back then. Ride safe brother.
I want buy this fan can you provide link.?
Does new radiator fan cools the engine better than old one or it’s the sound ur talking about.....plz reply
I own duke 390 2016 model I ordered 2019 #rc390 radiator fan , can I install both old and new radiator at a time
As always a very useful and informative video. Why don't you use motul 300v? Give it a try. It's fully synthetic and the grade is 15w50 which is the factory recommended grade.
Thank you Shaswat. I used to use the stock Motul oil from the service center before but switched between a few oils before finally using the Castrol Power 1 Racing oil. I'm a firm believer of not fixing something that isn't broken and since the overheating issues have been sorted out , I haven't tried another oil since. Plus the castrol 10w50 is a bit easier on the pocket than the motul v2 range ;)
bro it's fit for Duke 390 2015??
This is like pre-owning guide to KTM. I don't own one, but wish to own one day. Super work Oggy !
Hahah not at all man. The new models manage heat a lot better. This is more for the first Gen owners.
@@OggyF oh okay.
One more thing, I have been following your channel for about 3-4 years now. And I'm really looking forward to seeing you once. And i love "Ride safe, it's a freaking jungle out there". 😉
@@prateekgupta9956 thank you bro. Hopefully once this pandemic ends. 😉
@@OggyF Sure sure. I'll have own a motorcycle by then lol .. 😛
If I Buy A Duke 390 2017 then We Can Replace The Stock Radiator Fan With That Of 2018 Rc 390..????
Oggy’s video can be used for therapeutic purposes, perfect 👌
Lol thanks bud ✌🏻
Oggy F seriously, well detailed, honest opinion, the vibes getting from your video is lit🔥, you should upload more frequently 😁
Thank you Sanju. Will try and upload more often.
hi bro, where i can get these fans ?
I don't own KTM but still I watch his videos....
Well knowledge is power....
Thank you Santosh. Applied knowledge is power ;)
My 2018 rc 390 ABS FAILURE error shows up after few kms whenever radiator fan kicks in and i stop at any signal or a halt.. abs wont work till bike again cools down.
Very helpful video for KTM owners including me 😃💕
Hahaha I knew the KTM peeps would benefit from this. Ride safe bud
@@OggyF thank you soo much oggy da 😁
By far the best Indian channel thx for using English so that we all benefit
Whats the price of the 2019 fan . ?
Hey man I’m facing a problem with my duke 200 is that the fan wont turn off once it’s on ive changed the coolant yet im facing this problem
Same bike different problems though, contemplating life choices.
Do you think this will help,
2019 KTM RC FAN + Engine Ice Coolant + LiquiMoly Race ?
Also nice updated transitions, Bane part was so ON POINT !
Haven't had experience with the liqui moly oil but the other 2 changes you've mentioned would definitely help. Bane says thanks... He's the director and editor of my videos.
Bro mera rc 390 bs 3 gear mein aage peeche nhi hota clutch chaap krr bhi kya issue hai batao na
Nice video About Fan issue, I recently having so much trouble of fan for my 200NS. It was problem of Fan stopped moving because of Jamming From inside and it's wiring was burnt inside. I facing it from before lockdown started. I tried to find repairs but after traveling 20 kms in city like Ahmedabad I got only one who did it. I didn't get New because of lockdown issue. I looked for similar fans but not even 1 fan could replace it In last I tried 4.72 inch 3000 RPM PC DC Fan, it worked fine but it didn't Stop running neither heating goes down. I am thinking that after market fan has too high price of 7000 Rs.
Hai buddy. Thanks for the help 😌
Hey bro. You're welcome. Glad the video was helpful.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us, Oggy F! By any chance, is there a part number for that new KTM fan that you upgraded to?
You're welcome. Strangely the part number remained the same in the online parts catalogue but the design was upgraded.
@@OggyF Oh really? Ok, thank you. I'll give them a call and make sure I get the right one.
Hi Oggy greeting..
I owe rc390 2015 model. The issue I faced now is that my rear wheel is getting jammed. I checked with the ktm service center. They told me that the rear brake cylinder needs to be changed. But m not sure whether the same problem is the concern because whenever I am stopped because of this issue and I make a reverse drive..( just by pulling the bike backwards) the tyre gets free.. Do let me know what you think..
Have you tried bleeding the brakes? If this doesn't solve the issue and the brakes are getting jammed, then it's probably the master cylinder.
Hi please share the online parts catalogue link🙏🏻. Will be helpful for many❤️
I have a BS6 Dominar which is due its first service and i’ve experiencing that weird sound coming out of the stock fan from the radiator
The sound shouldn't really be an issue... As long as it's keeping the engine temperatures in check.
6:00 long time review of Bane? Coming soon?👀🤣
Hahaha only positive reviews of him. May sound like a paid campaign.
Hi oggy what oil would you recommend for my 2017 rc 390? I’m confused between Castrol or motul/motulv2
Haven't tried the v2 but I can vouch for the performance of the Castrol 10w50
Gimme a high 5, no, make it 10 for covering the dreadful flip-flopped riding/rider point!!!!! Seeing the amount of info to match rapid frames - even your editing table must be a freaking jungle out there😁 what I loved about this part was the entire layout of the, shall we say, script? Pretty crisp and smooth. Every point (or fan in this case) had a quick sweet intro, the body, and then a subtle Oggy flavoured humourous closing (flip flop being one of them). And I was hoping you would cover bane, and you did at the closing. And no, I don't like the idea of you surprising him! Let the kid win man!!!😁 Thanks again Oggy. Keep going, keep inspiring🤜🏼🤛🏼
Haha you're too kind UD. Hope all is well with you brother. Hopefully when this all ends we can catch up.Stay safe ✌🏻
Can I install this fan on my duke 390 2014 model?
Should be possible considering it takes up less space than the original one which had the shroud.
Other people/other vloggers try to convert their ktm RC/Duke 390 with a dual fans, plus, they even use other fan like Yamaha fans, Kawasaki, Etc... Though the new 2022 ktm rc390 has a dual fan already, so, my question is, is the new ktm rc390 will still overheat or even give problems to its owner?
Hii oggy big fab from bandra bazar road❤️I have rc 200 2014 model can I use Castrol oil on rc 200 plz rep sir.
What's the oil grade that your owner's manual recommends?
Forza OGGY ❤️
You're the first one here Shashank. Welcome back :)
Bro new gen rc 390 has curved radiator bro will it fit in old gen rc 390?
Not too sure about that. I think the new one has dual radiator fans too so it may not be possible.
So the 2021 rc390 should have this resolved from factory?
Yes, it comes with the new radiator fan.
Hi oggy, i own a first generation duke 390. Its the first time i hv an unresolved abs issue. My duke is timely serviced. I am not hapy visiting the service center. Any garage network in mumbai i can consult or walk in at? Also, any abs realted video link helps
Speak with either Joshua from @Garage52 on Instagram or Bhojraj from @paceandpixel. They'll sort you out.
0:13 is that a that's what she said joke 👀
Also thanks for solving my heating issues 😂😂 we want more bloopers..!!
After watch the whole video I realised my bike doesn't even have a fan lmao😂
But more information is always better though thanks 🤟🏼😉
Hahah missed opportunity this time. Will add Michael Scott in the next video. Thanks for watching bro.
I don’t even have a KTM I don’t know why I watched this video 😅 well but now i can suggest my friends who own KTM’s
The cover-less is great for cooling off the hot air but beware the water scatter
KTM suggest motul 7100 why u use castrol power 1
Take a moment to read the owners manual and see what oil grade is recommended my friend.

I pressed on the like button!!
Can u pls ans my query regarding the air intake through air filter.
If u have noticed that dominar 400 and NS 200 have the intake air pipe just over the engine that is below the fuel tank unlike ktm 200 n 390 which located rear side under the seat. So in Dominar n NS the hot air over the engine is feed to air filter n thus to engine. Does it help in milege acceleration n any parameter related to performance ? And if yes does we can also have same steup in KTM .
Pls reply
This is the first time I've heard of the issue you've asked about . Will need to do a bit of research around the topic. Are you or any other Dominar owners experiencing any issues because of this?
@@OggyF i own ktm 390 . It is not an issues it just have different arrangement for air take in bajaj vehicles . Do it have any advantage of hot air intake as compared to cool air. I want to know dis. If it having advantage i will also go for it.
I have heard but not sure if intake is warm air rather than cool it gives better mileage and performances. I just need to confirm it ??
@@amaankhan2775 cold air is better than warm because more air can be supplied in cold rather than hot.this is the reason supersports have a ram air intake
@@chinmayshanbhag1567 Thnx
As a Duke 390 BS6 owner I must say that the heat management is pretty good this time.
KTM resolved the heating issues on the Duke and the rc with the 2018 models.
@@OggyF Yea!
Oil change interval with Castrol ?
I usually change the oil on my motorcycle every 6,000kms. But I'm pretty sure the castrol one can last until 7.5k kms; which is the service interval recommended by KTM.
Pls help me bro my gen 3 duke 390 is heating too much
bro can i get link of radiator fan
It's available at the KTM service center. Just ask them for the 2018 Radiator fan.
how much did u pay for the stock fan of ktm rc390 2019 ???
I believe it was around 2.7k
hi oggy!
Hope in future whenever I will purchase a bike I would stick to this points!
As always your vlog was superb👍.
6:00 was 😂
Glad you found the information useful. Thank you for watching. Bane says hi :)
what you think about heating problems that may occur in bs6 RC 390 ??
Haven't heard any complaints about heating issues since the BS4 models. Any thread that you can link which could help?
@@OggyF actually I am planning to buy the bs6 version so can you make a A to Z informative video about the new RC 390.
Hey man. Thanks a lot for knowledge drop. What's the app that u used for ordering those parts ? @4:16
You're welcome Shashkanth. It wasn't an app that I was using ..it's a product catalogue that I found online for the KTMs - www.boltonmotorcycles.com/partFinder/fiche/ktm/2015/rc-390-white-abs-b-d#content
@@OggyF thanks a lot! I need some suggestions from ur end. I got an RC390 2015. Been seeing issues with low oil pressure since the first year. I've made up my mind to rebuild the engine. Do you have any suggestions if I can tune to the bike like using the newer versions? The slipper clutch does supports on them. I did hear about the 2017 version had a fix for the low oil pressure. What are ur recommendations ?
Can 2019 fan be fitted without any modification to2017 duke and would like to know how much it costed.
I didn't have to make any modifications to install the 2019 fan. Not too familiar with the duke's setup but I don't think it should be a problem since they share a lot of parts.
Also, I thnk it costed me around 2.7k when I had bought it.
❤❤❤
what is the oil drain interval of the castrol power one? how does it compare with the motul 7100 10w50?
I've heard many saying that motul engine oil dries pretty quickly even if the engine is brand new..i was also told by my mechanic that I have to top up the motul every 1.5k even if i dont have any engine problem..
I usually change my oil every 6000kms but I'm sure the Castrol oil that I use will last the 7.5k service interval period that Ktms recommend in the manuals. Also, I check if there's a top-up required every 2k kms (unless something has really gone wrong) but haven't had to do that for the Castrol oil until around 3 to 4k km.
@@OggyF i own a 2015 duke. and I'm a bit confused about the engine oil capacity of the bike.. I've researched each and every where possible and it made me even more confused ...most of the people say 1.6-1.7 litres but my manual said 1.5litres .. being confused i bought 2 liters of motul 7100 10w50 and stood infront of the motorcycle being serviced ... and it took only 1.5litres and the engine oil level was at the perfect middle ... and I've been servicing my bike with my very trusted mechanic and he says the engine is in perfect good condition but the motul 7100 generally dries at 1-2k kms even if theres no problem in the engine... then why does the company recommends oil change at 5-6k kms? may be thats the reason why most people stretch it to 5-6k kms without topping up the engine oil and end up rebuilding the engine in very short period of time?
THANK U FOR THE SPEEDY REPLY...
i want to gather as much of the true information as i dont want to end up screwing up my motorcycle
@@OggyF ???
The oil would still be good in the engine for 6-7k km.. That's when it should be changed. The company can't recommend top-up intervals because that depends on a lot of factors (oil quality included). If the manual says 1.5, I'd stick with that but I'd also pay close attention to the oil level. Last thing you want is to over or under fill the oil in the engine. A 2 litre can should be more than enough for changing and topping up the oil unless something is majorly long with the engine. If you end up having to use more than 400ml -500ml to top up before the next oil change, there's some issue for sure.
@@OggyF okay thank u very much 😊 ill keep an eye on the oil level and measure how much do i have to top it off before the service interval
Try honda 250 fan
Do the KTM's 200 and 390 have the same cooling system and fan?
The 2015 models did. Not sure about the new ones. I think the RCs share a lot of parts
Thank you, I will now have to do some research on my own.
I'm gonna buy Dominar in next 10 days I think this video will be helpful in the future...
I hope you don't have to watch this video to sort out issues. Ride safe and congratulations on the new bike.
Hai oggy .. I am planning to go for an upgrade from my 2013 pulsar ns 200 to an rc 390 (bs3). Riding position, heating , practicality is not a problem for me but i am a student and will it be a problem for me to maintain the bike and the fuel economy .
Shouldn't be an issue as long as the one you're buying has been maintained well and you look after it too.
Oggy F what about the fuel economy . I am not living in a place like mumbai or banglore where traffic is terrific . I am from kerala and the traffic here is less . Getting stuck in a heavy traffic won’t happen to me 😛 .... so what i am saying is that the only problem which pull me back from choosing rc 390 is actually it’s mileage.
@@fardhin4251 bro im from kerala and i own a rc 390 bs3 2015 version.For me milage is alright not many complaints considering its a 373cc motor.In really bad traffic i get around 24-28 kmpl.on good open roads cruising u can get upto 35 kmpl.
ASH AJ thanks bro ... 💝💝👍🏼👍🏼
Where u find the third fan which website and that the price of it
You can get it from the KTM service center. It's the updated fan that comes with the new RC390
What's the cost for it ?
Too lazy to do the research😅 Would the same mod work on RC200 MY2015.
Same frame and I believe same fan too. Should work.
Will try for sure!! Amazing DIY though and thanks for sharing it😊
I’ve named my car as rage inspired by oggy bro ❤️😍 just wanna meet you Soon 🥺
Hello oggy this is the first time I'm watching your content and I absolutely love it dude. Thank you for various tips which helps a lot for noobie guys like us. Even though I don't own a KTM RC 390 yet, this content makes me more aware. Absolutely love it man. SUBSCRIBED.
Thank you brother. Glad the content is helping you 😊
Hello Brother...
I own KTM RC 390 and i have few queries
1. Is it normal to get 500 to 700ml less engine oil at the time of drainage?
2. Can we keep toping up engine oil after every 1500 kms?
Thanks in advance...
that means ur bore worn out changs the bore n piston don't rebore its waste for 390s
That dude crashing in his house was hilarious.
Post 2017 RC and duke 390 models are very reliable.
Yup, I've not heard too many complaints about overheating from the post-2017 owners.
Mine dont overheat 390 duke 2018 model. Theg fix it already. If you want peace of mind and ok to spend and upgrade get a brushless fan
👍
Also please check the water pump as sometimes due to excessive and hard revving of the throttle the water pump seals tend to leak and the coolant tends to mix with the engine oil, so make sure the coolant isn't mixing up with your engine oil by keeping a constant check on the coolant level before and after every ride which is easy guy's.
I had nightmares with the stock radiator fan. I own 2015 RC 390. Initially the radiator fan ran without any problems latter after a year started to give problems. Then in 2018 I changed the fan to the new generation RC series fan. Till date by GOD'S GRACE no such problems encountered.
That's awesome man. Thankfully the new fan was reliable and efficient.
New one was around ₹1600.
Its simple physics that oem design was very bad for airflow. I am rebuilding the the cooling system with a new performance non coloured polished aluminium radiator and a dual fan setup with better radiator hose size for more radiator water capacity this would completely eliminate overheating issue for people that are living on hotter climates.
When that stock radiator fan turns on i have people stare at me as if I am riding some space ship 🚀
SS oils are best for engines
How about a customised dual fan setup
I was pretty close to doing that before I found out about the updated fan that the new rc came with. I had connected one of the stock fans to the spal fan and was going to try to figure out how to mount them too. Ofcourse it required a bit more research but they both did come on simultaneously.
@@OggyF th-cam.com/video/EgRsSK5_K8Y/w-d-xo.html check this link out
@@Explorer_indy89 Yup, had watched this video too. He used stock fans from a Honda CBR 250 R to do this but didn't mention what modifications he made to the wiring to be able to accommodate it. Also, not sure about the fabrication of the mounting bracket (if any). Even ROK modded his RC390's radiator to a dual fan setup but didn't share clear instructions about it. th-cam.com/video/2Wqgiem8DfI/w-d-xo.html
Badaa hai toh behter hai 😋😄
If i was at your place i would have optd ktm stock fan of latest rc and then would have done the R&D
So in 2017, you would've opted for the 2018 fan? 🤷♂️
No i meant , like recently u did all these trail right like geting the fan imported n all. So for that i said tht i would go for latest RC fan
No hard feeling just a thought. Its good u sorted the issue
