I have only the competition werkes catless midpipe and this tuner produces some good gains in the mid range all the way to the top. It is also a good mod if you ever plan on doing anything else to the bike like an upgrade intake system.
I am currently running their exhaust map from the site. It runs great, the bike will now hit is calculated max…[Read more]

Just get one off of amazon, the turn signal is the same as the 390 duke. They are like 20 dollars.

Our bikes are the exact same as the 390 duke as far as the engine platform and wiring harness…The box that the ECU came in should have instructions on how to install it, at least mine did. If yours didn’t come with any instructions here is a youtube video for the 2017 duke: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3F9lcmlxyE . It is a pretty straight…[Read more]

jamez405 replied to the topic Pulsating front brake in the forum Svartpilen 401 Technical Forum 5 months, 3 weeks ago
I have this same issue, I feel it at any speed. When I am lightly on the brakes I feel a pulsation. I put my bike up on a paddock stand last night and did the following:
Greased the pad slide bolt with high temp grease
Sanded the rotor with 320 grit sand paper and then cleaned with brake cleaner
Loosened up the entire front wheel assembly…[Read more]

Make sure that all your spokes on the wheel are tight and that the tire is properly inflated and that the chain is tight, also try adjusting the rear shock to a softer setting.

Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone else is running a powertronic ECU, I have been running one for a couple of weeks now and it has been a good improvement. I first was running the pre installed maps, I then installed some 390 duke maps off of the powertronic website.
These maps gave good mid range improvement but for some reason pulled fuel on…[Read more]

I bought the powertronic ECU and can’t seem to find the maps for the vitpilen on your website, I am currently running 2017+ 390 Duke fuel maps. Would it be possible to get the vitpilen tune?

Yeah you definitely want some rear bobbins for that.

Awesome, it also looks like powertronics has some maps already developed for the 390 duke with various mods to it.

Excellent! I just ordered the powertronic for a 17+duke 390/rc390. Now I can really take advantage of the competition works catless mid pipe.

Also how do you like the power tronic unit? I am deciding whether I want to go with that or the power commander, I am assuming that the PCV works as well (seeing as a powertronic from a 17+ duke worked) but no one has tried it…

I wonder if the previous generation 390 duke/RC390 front forks would fit our front end?
Then the cartridges would pretty much just drop in.

For the fork cartridges, what specifically did your suspension guy do to make the fork cartridges work? I am also thinking of going this route but would like to know what I am in for before I pull the trigger on them

Anyone have any word on this? Does the duke 390 module fit our bike? This would be great information to know.

I chose the michelin over the metzeller purely from the ride quality I have experienced in the past with the pilot single compound tires. They are a track oriented tire that is very streetable. The pirelli rosso corsa 3 is also an excellent tire, they will run you about 400 for the set installed but are great tires.

I have experienced this, however it seems that it is only from a blip of the throttle that is too small and quick. You can actually get the bike to die at a stop light if you blip the throttle in the “slack zone” of its movement, basically blipping the throttle with little range seems to kill the bike. Now I just give it a good fat blip on…[Read more]

so I finally got around to installing the new master cylinder from Frando and I’m pretty pleased with it. The oem mc was not very good, it had poor application feedback. I found my self over braking a lot and hitting the ABS. This new mc completely changed that, the frando has a much broader band of pressure application through the stroke of the p…[Read more]

It was not bad doing the 800 mile trip, it was over the course of 3 days…As far as being quieter, they are a bit less noisy. I mainly switched for my riding style, I actually wore away the side knobbies completely on the pirellis! lol

It is way better! Especially if you are riding aggressively. I actually wore out my Pirelli Scorpions in just 2500 miles of riding, I have had the michelins for about 1500 miles (yes my bike has 4000 miles on it already lol) and they have held up great.
I actually just got back from an 800 mile trip to the adirondacks with my friend, he has a…[Read more]
