A K&N air filter, a frankensteined exhaust with a Leo Vince mid pipe and a faux Akrapovic slip-on, and a new tune for the PCV should add up to some new power figures for KTM's tried-and-true 373cc single-cylinder four stroke engine.

Close Call (with commentary)
This video was previously uploaded without commentary. It was recorded at around 4PM (the beginning of the evening rush hour), and I was around 5-10 minutes into my ride. At the beginning, you can see the sun blinding me in my mirrors, making it hard to see other motorists behind me. Realizing this, I deduced that oncoming motorists may also have a hard time seeing me with the sun in their eyes. When I got to the construction signs and sawhorses, I became aware that oncoming traffic waiting to turn left at the intersection may have an even harder time seeing me. Because of this, I maintained my speed and prepared to use the brakes just in case. Thank goodness, because the motorist committed to making a left hand turn into my path of travel.
I expected this motorist to pull out in front of me before they committed to their turn. It's important to note that this video is not meant to put other motorists down or make anyone feel bad, I'm sure the other motorist didn't see me from the the sun and did not do this intentionally. We all make mistakes and sometimes they are unavoidable. Rather, this is intended to be a tool for recognizing road hazards and making a split-second decision to avoid them. -Faerodyn

Time For Some More Power For The RC390
Hello everyone! In this video I install a K&N air filter, a nice new exhaust, and I load an off-the-shelf tune to the Power Commander for my setup that ups the redline from 10,500rpm to 11,500rpm and boasts a gain of 13hp (above the stock 44hp) with the mods I have.
Let me know what you all think down in the comments! I'm also working on a review video where I'll do more riding and talk about how the bike feels and sounds with these new mods, I just ran into a small snag... so it may be a couple of weeks before I can finish it. Thanks for stopping by, everyone. Ride safe and have fun! (and stay cool! :-#) -Faerodyn
***UPDATE: Since installing everything, I have run into a bit of a heat issue. The engine coolant temps seem to be maxing out when riding in the city or in stop-and-go traffic. It only seems to cool down at freeway speeds. I'm working on a couple of fixes, so I will have subsequent videos on those fixes soon. If you are thinking of doing these modifications to your bike, you may want to check those videos out first. If you are seeing this before I upload those videos: make sure to give this video a Rumble and follow me so that you get notified as soon as I upload those videos!

Motovlog: My experience with aftermarket headlights!
What's up, fellow moto-dudes and dudettes?!? In this motovlog I wanted to talk about my experience with aftermarket headlights on my KTM RC390. After a little glory shots music video of project Scorpion, of course. ;-)
Please forgive me for the inconsistencies, the heat was really getting to me! The Kensun HID's I had first were 10,000 lumens (brightness) and 8,000k color (true blue), and the Lightening Dark LED's I now have are 10,000 lumens (brightness), 6,000k color (clean white) and match the color of the daytime LED strips on the bike. Both the HID and the LED kits were about the same price, but so far the LED's have far outlasted the HID's. Also: Since filming this video, I have seen Kensun products back at Amazon.
Thank you all for tuning in and watching my videos. I appreciate all of your Rumbles! Until my next video: ride safe and have fun everyone! -Faerodyn
