![Will it go faster? KTM RC 390 from DRIFT to RACE [part 4] | RokON VLOG #107](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/P9theZhSrB4/mqdefault.jpg)
Really good audio for such a windy day.
I was thinking the same! I don't see a lav... boom mic?
I'd love to know how your videographer did it!
Fuckin' honda's amirite? XD. Just kidding.
Exactly what I was thinking, clear audio without even a hint of wind.
But how?
when you're racing, the smaller the bike, the more analytical your decisions have to be to get out every morsel of the bikes power!! 100% agree that it's more satisfying to completely apply a slower bikes power than it is to leave any portion of a larger bikes power unexplored
which stickers do you recommend for the most hp?
46
Lorenzo really seemed to scoot with Rockstar™, and Vale found a few extra tenths with a donkey or chicken sticker 🤷♂️
Lol
Red bull gives you wings and your bike 6 hp more.🙏
@@shahidahmad8948 like in VR46 ?
300lb = 136kg
The most important comment :D
Learn freedom units you ingrates
@leo is in the house no dentist having ass
I hate these bikes, on Wednesday, one of these overtook me on my twin on the last lap and I couldn´t beat him back before the finish line, I have been hating them ever since!!
PS: Nice video :) .
you should hate your own skill or bike, not the other guy that was faster than you
You got me :) .
Then you have to say it in a sarcastic voice, now I look stupid
dry sarcasm for the win.
Freeman haha I hate when that happens!
What an awesome bit of kit! I can really tell a lot of cash, time, sweat and tears have gone into this bike. I would love to see more on this bike!
well said, "slow bike fast, than a fast bike slow"!
Yup-yup,agreed totally^^^ :)
I never understood the whole "slow bike fast than a fast bike slow" statement. I would rather have a fast bike that I know has a ton of performance whenever needed, or I wanted to use it, than a slow turd that is getting ragged out. Is it really that much fun knowing your bike cant go any faster?
@@ChrisPBacon-nf3op Hey, I have owned both big bikes and small bikes. I assume your mostly thinking street bike riding, because in racing you really don't leave any performance for 'whenever', you do that, you lose.The thing with a big bike, most of the time, riders depend SO much on the horsepower to get their jollies, which means twisting the grip on the straights. On the street doing 'roll-ons' with your buddies and blasting down the freeway doing triple digits and on the track, again making up time on the straights. For myself I dropped down to a smaller bike mostly for economic reasons, smaller bikes are less expense all round and as track bike, you can actually save hundreds $ per weekend. What I found is that within three track days, on my very basic, unassuming, low tech, 42 hp GS 500 I was doing lap times equal to my GSXR 750 with 120 + hp.
The reason for me was that the 750 had a very touchy fuel injected throttle that frankly was kind of scary to roll on as I would exit a corner. I was still learning to go fast and everyone has different thresholds of what fast is. Anyway, as we know corner exits are prime 'high-side' territory and high-sides bust up bikes and bodies, which in turn makes for very expensive and time consuming repairs. So when going to the smaller bike it was easier to ride in every way. The throttle was less intimidating, it was light and flickable it felt like a toy rather than a beast. So with the smaller bike I really wasn't going to 'make up time' on the straights, so corner speed was of maximum concern, which meant very skilled line choice, braking, corner speed, passing techniques and throttle exit application, just can't scrub any more speed than was necessary. So I became a much better rider, faster on the small bike, lap times dropped every race or track day weekend. One thing that struck me was that here was a bike that I had around $ 1K invested into and I was having and absolute blast on, totally didn't need a $10K+ superbike. By years end I was beating guys on 56 hp EX500's and 65 hp SV650's. So me beating 'faster bikes' is totally relative, it really just comes down to experience and skill nothing really to brag about, I just had more seat time than they did, but it proved a point, that 'the bike' doesn't always matter. And there is a satisfaction in beating faster more expensive bikes. Grant it if I was going to buy a street bike I would choose the bigger bike, there's just not that many places to drag a knee on the street safely and horsepower and wheelie rushes are intoxicating, but for the track totally unnecessary, which is what this video was about, ,heck the guy ended up setting a track record, I think he made a good choice.. But it also can translate to street riding because many street riders don't learn top notch cornering skills. Just look at how many video's there are of people running off the road, many of them are do to lack of skills, it's really easy to go ballistic by twisting the throttle and learn the 'other' skills, Anyway, imho. Peace and keep the rubber side down.
@@raynic1173 so well said. so well
100% with ya on that!!
recently passed my A2 lisence and I got a 2016 version as my first bike .... my god I love it !! quick little bike for a begginer.
xlegenx47 i wish i had the money for it. ;)
but i am pretty happy with my used SV650 ^^
Yes! Thanks for putting up this vid, Ari. Bike looks sick with all the added on goodies. I agree it would look awesome with the side fairings removed. Greetings from Malaysia!
Glad to see you stayed the course! I haven't had an issue with my RC390 (maybe i should race it more).
Glad to see you stayed the course!
these are super fun little bikes.
I haven't had an issue with my RC390 (maybe i should race it more).
Dude this is such a nice bike, you've done such a great job with it. I want one now.
Nice motorcycle, a lot of love in that machine, good work! I personally love it, colour scheme and decals all look really well placed and clean. Keep up the amazing work and stay safe out there!
Must. Not. Be. Jealous.
Great video guys. Ari is one rider I've always looked up to. Feels epic to know one of his bikes is what I have!
Those Stickers add so much acceleration
Ari Henning Please, I put a Penske sticker on my SV1000 and had to ride it on one wheel for miles.
Excellent walkaround and nice & concise given all the mods done. Super edit as well 👌. Shame it's had so many issues but love how it's been so well done mod wise.
I wanted to hear it 😓
grownsimbaa it's only a boring single cylinder 4 stroke go and start you're lawn mower up and it will sound similar
Just watch the track race video- link in description.
rahulk1203 Yeah I watched it, great video but I was after a start up without the wind noise etc.
grownsimbaa the noice it makes really isn't worth worrying about, it's a single cylinder 4stroke, get over it
Will u do realize 4 banger means 4 cylinder not 4 stroke
I would love to see more videos like this as well as more videos about the track world. I would love to pick up a 300cc class bike and try to compete, but getting into the sport seems so daunting. With all of these lightweight bikes coming out and the creation of the ssp300class. I would love to see more little lightweight racing videos.
Awesome track bike build!!!! My only question... How did you remove the wind noise? I noticed it was really windy at the track. Lol. 42HP sounds just right for me!
@@danielcombs5286 the key is high way. When you are dragging elbows 42 HP is a lot.
My stock RC makes 43.5, but maybe it will make less on the Dyno. But we've got tricked out RC's churning 50 hp and 200kmps on the Dyno.
Ib, I think it might be time to sell the Kawi H2, & get the RC390, They are Fast on a Gocart Track!👍😉
This fucking guy everywhere
Thanks for the walk around!
it is super cool sir. no wonder you smashing all the lap records. godspeed.
I have a quick shifter on my 2020 street triple r and yeah they totally do spoil you. But theres nothing like that up interrupted acceleration, it just feels and sounds so good. I love the triple motor sounds so.
Thanks for the cut sheet of mods and explanations!
Great video, really enjoyed, it thanks man!
Great job on the bike. It looks great.
wow it is very informative video sir. keep it up. proud ktmd390 user from philippines.
i in lovee with KTM single piston 🔥🔥🔥power so good ! from Malaysia
huge fan of your vids..I have an r3 and have a blast on it...might get a zx6 soon but never regretted my purchase
Great video! Very interesting. I agree with you on the riding a slow bike fast thing
Awesome little bike..
dope setup👍
have fun
thanks for sharing.
💝this set-up, you thr man!
ari man... we more of your racing videos .. we love you brooo..
Man, what a dream bike!
4:33 reaching for that clutch lever still? haha
Good bike mate! also your detail and video! love it!
craze video man, much love from india.
Andreani make some fantastic cartridge kits at a good price, nice to see them getting some more air time as they are somewhat unheard of :-)
Cool bike, still not understanding why KTM discontinued the RC8R instead of putting some new tech on that bike, still best looking bike for me
They did it because they think that 1000cc supersports doesnt have anything to do on public roads... Theeeen they release the superduke
CEO has his head lodged firmly up his own ass.
The Mavi I know they say they will focus on motogp and a bike powerful bike should not be in the streets, probably they were not doing so well in sales
The SuperDuke 1290 is just as dangerous in the wrong hands on public roads, perhaps even more so as the power comes on much earlier.
The came back from that anyways. There should be a new model like the RC8R in the future.
awesome vid, now onboard laps!
How in the world did you get such clear audio in all that wind 😂 anyways great video keep it up guys, this will always be my favorite channel 👍🏼
Beautiful bike
+Ari Henning Sweet cornering at sonoma!
beautiful bike bro! 😀
Great mods!
Hilarious. Identical build to mine here in little old NZ. Right down to the Bridgestones because Pirelli are awesome but too expensive. Keep up the good work.
Looks great
i agree to the statement of riding a slow bike fast then a fast bike slow. i have an r6 but i remember riding a tw200 for a safety course and it was fun even tho id go 15mph max. Looks nice and fun.
Very nice mate. Makes me keen to try out one on the street.
This bike is awesome
The video Ive been waiting for, thanks for info ari. The bike looks neat😍
Nice mods!
Awesome bike
Nice video! Great cheap racing option.
dude ur bike rocks!
Good explanation
its a full moded bike
love them all :)
you've managed to get that bike lighter than it was! nice!!!
Omg i want one so bad my absolute dream bike!
This guy's the real deal
Thanks a lot.
Good stuff!
"I´d rather be fast in a slow bike than slow in a fast bike."
Hey Ari! Nice walk around video, nice explanations on all the work done! Amazing stuff.
Have you considered hybrid ceramic bearings? Judging by the advertised qualities, they really should be great for a small displacement/horsepower bikes. Could you please do a video on that?
Hi, big fan..lots of love from India!
U guys are amazingly talented and its a treat to watch your videos. I m a budding motorcyclist and would someday like to meet up with u guys n have a chat or maybe get to pose on any of ur bikes. Take care...ride safe!
Shout out to Trex Racing for sure good stuff!
Awesome!
I have one, similar mods..... Loooooove it!!!!!
God i need to see more about it
Hey buddy... i have been your subscriber for quite a while now... can u do video to explain how different riding modes work n what is actually technically going on in the bike when we switch riding modes....cheers
Great mods, cool bike. Imagine if KTM built a 390 V twin! Zach likes to ride fast bikes fast while talking and giggling...
Mantap KTM RC nya.. Keren...
I'm going to feel silly writing this and posting it, but thank you for the video! I'm a HUGE fan girl of the RC390 and can't wait to actually get one. I appreciate watching what you can do on that thing. Side note, I've been hearing about KTM making a consumer version of the RC16, any chance you guys would be covering that?
Custom sick shit! xD
That's quite some mods man! :D
Cool vid. It might be a good vid topic to explain why more ride height makes a bike transitions faster.
That is a nice video and the way to customized your RC390 is just sick. But i want to point out one thing that the stock RC390 produced 43hp-44hp out of the factory, you can also get a little more out of your bike there.
Bro 42 hp on wheel not on crank
Ari hope you put up a video on your project R3 when it completes.
Great looking bike Ari!
R3 next?
I love that you say 'trick' a lot. Reminds me of when I first got into watching Jerry Miculek's gun videos. Want to sponsor my '99 CBR that I MotoVlog with?!?
The one disliked is KTM because you did better than what they could do!
Love it
That was Delicious...Felt like having a tasty wholesome meal...Really wish if i could hav a lap on your machine!!
yeah i want to see zack riding grom racing with you on this :D
Awesome video Ari, I am modifying my Ninja 300 track bike, hope can be at the same level of yours~
I think you should mod your exhaust to lower the heat temperature.
Simply, by placing the exhaust pipe below the engine instead of factory around the cylinder dead set up.
The trumpet style pipes. No kidding when they said "trumpet" lol
Nice. ;D Some more mods to add to the list for my duke ;P
I really liked hearing him say,
that he prefers to ride a slow bike fast over riding a fast bike slow.
That's my philosophy as well.
My favorite RC 390 video... bike looks so much better with race fairings.... Just. So. Much. Want.
whats the top speed and bhp figure for this monster!
Interesting that you mentioned the Power Commander 5.
Have you considered their Power Vision CX that actually flash tunes the ECU itself with one of Dynojet's own mappings instead of the add-on PCV?
They may not make one for this bike yet, but I had to ask since most mechanics I've spoken to tend to not recommend piggyback devices since they bypass the O2 sensors.
Hi Ari,
When are you going to do a walkaround of your new lightweight project ?
Maybe add some comparison between the lightweight bikes you have already raced.
Since it's the first time I comment on some of your content, I wanted to thank you for all the bits of advice. For sure the best you can find on TH-cam today. Keep going man !
Thanks for the video. Will we be seeing anything more on the Z125 you were upgrading?
Love your RC! I got the 390 Duke and put an K&N Airfilter on it do i have to do a Mapping ?
What parts from the list would you put on a 2018 rc390 that you don't race but ride through twisties?
Hey, could you please tell me on what sprocket setup ua running on?Great vid btw, appreciate it.
Hey Ari, can you please tell me which shift rod from dynojet goes with tyga rearsets? Like, on their website you have options from A to H. So which is the compatible one?
Does anybody know what tire sizes he's running on front and rear? I'm curious to test out his set up on the track and canyons
@motorcyclist magazine I have removed the cat and added an aftermarket pipe and a k&n air filter to my 2014 zx10r. I have a bazzaz quickshifter I installed. Is the bazzaz fuel management as good as the power commander? I was considering getting the bazzaz system and the auto mapping device for it. Any thoughts? Or should I just go with power commander?
It's very nice to see this walkaround video with a lots info. How about the Yoyodyne slipper clutch? It's working well?
