Powertronics Tune-up of DuKe 390

I finally got time to play around with the powertronics , The model i received is the updated USB model. Initially had problems connecting it and detecting it on Windows 7,but after contacting RD, i received the USB drivers.




Connecting it and booting up the Rtune software is quite simple. The R-tune manual is quite helpful in understanding the various options to play around with.



Unfortunately in the city i stay there is no dyno, so had to do the run's manual, my reports are based on my tests on the road.i started playing with the fuel options.increased the fuel % from stock map setting to about 5% and tested it out.i could notice the change in acceleration and initial.i am currently tyring to understanding the r-tune manual and various options i can play with.once i get an idea will try create maps based on my setup.it would be helpful for people running similar set up's.

Handlebar Clamps for the 390

I found couple of options for the handlebar clamps for 390 duke.you can get them for about 30$ to 80$ depending on the product.

found this one on the ebay for about 30$, looks pretty impressive ,made of CNC Aluminum.



you can get them on ebay at this link

The other option is from biker bits and its around 60 euros. looks like the OEM bar clamp set with orange accents made of aluminum alloy CNC machined.


If you like them, they are currently available only for the duke 200.but i guess the handlebar clamp set is the same for the 200 and 390 duke.so you might check it out at this link.
