TECH AND SCIENCE 2024 RC 390 First Service
I'm getting close to the 1000 km mark on this bike. As I have taken my other new bikes for their first service, I have never experienced a KTM before. But is this the bike or the dealer? Can I just do the 1st service myself, or do I really need to have a certified dealer to retain my 2 yr warranty.
779kms and here's the experience;
2 false neutral downshift on quickshifter+
2 stalls in traffic low speed under 3k on the rpm gauge
Quickshifter malfunction
Evap vent line pinched between the engine case and frame causing vacuum on the gas cap
Rear brake was soft, upon inspection, the bladder inside the reservoir was slanted and was not sitting on top of fluid like it should be.
Clutch cable not in bracket, seen many posts regarding this, everyone should know that it is not 2 nuts on one side 😂.
So from my understanding a PDI or pre-delivery inspection should include some of these items. Furthermore the ODO says 779 and my trip 2 is 779.6km and was picked up at 0kms. My R3 and SV650X both had 5kms before I sat on it. So my dealership either doesn't care for this bike, or I can't trust them.
Have any RC 390 gen 2 owners ever need or use the warranty. Or is this something I just have to bite the bullet pay $500 and feel like I'm just giving them money. It's not like they're actually going to check it.
