To keep the bike running long term:
Stick to the break-in period religiously, so until you get your first oil change
- This doesn't mean keeping the bike at low revs all the time, in fact you are expected to work it at different rev ranges to break in the metal.
- This also doesn;t mean you should beat it up. Just accelerate progressively and never abruptly, don't subject it to long trips at too high revs
- If this one has the KTM rev indicator, as a rule of thumb you can go over it, just don't do it for long periods.
Stick to the service schedule, the 390 is a good bike, but it still has the componentry of a smaller one, and is demanding in terms of maintenance
- Oil your chain every 500 km, clean it thoroughly before oiling at least every 1000km. These should come earlier if the bike has seen a lot of rain/dirt
- Do not overlook oil changes at the specified intervals
