Going to have to take it somewhere to tune. So might as well take it to someone to tune the bike as is and do the mappingMaybe a tad off topic, but anyone have experience with this Rapidbike Easy ?
I have a 2015 KTM Duke 390 with a custom 3d printed air box lid, K&N Filter, MIVV GP Full decat exhaust system and with the akra mapping. I'm just scared I'm running it too lean (after installing the lid) and hoping something like this, rather than a full power commander setup, will do the trick.
Ideas or Opinions - You gentleman on here are full of those anyway

Its a 2016 690 smc.This a 690?
Im looking for an aftermarket pipe for a 2016 690 Enduro R
What do you mean you do not actually know if akro made it?Its a 2016 690 smc.
Im not sure if akro actually made a pipe for this bike as when I made an inquiry online the product range ends at 2012. So the pipe might just be unsuitable.
Im now looking at a yoshi pipe from the states.

I mean it might be a fake, build quality is obviously an issue. Or this pipe was for an older version of the 690 engine and is no longer suitable.What do you mean you do not actually know if akro made it?
What happened, don't get it.
Guess something happened to the carbon tip?
There are many cheap after market chinese exhausts with carbon tips. They do not last

Even if it was for another version. If I took an Acro pipe made for a S1000RR and put it onto my City Golf it would still be fine.I mean it might be a fake, build quality is obviously an issue. Or this pipe was for an older version of the 690 engine and is no longer suitable.

Yeah I'm genuinely interested to know what happened here. Those pipes are hugely expensive and very well made.
@HasThisNameBeenTaken, how old is it? What mileage? Did you buy it new? Where from?
Unless it's really old I would take it to KTM and kick up a fuss (in a nice way though) - you might get something out of it.
Nice, What class do you race in.
As roof was around the corner, I didn't want to risk injury etc. So opted to drop down a class, to Silver A for this race.
Ended up winning, which is why I don't race it throughout the year.
Throughout the year I race Pro B.
Ai, Raceworx tried to screw me even while my bike was under warranty. The bikes are amazing, the dealers no soo much.Surprise surprise my 2017 KTM 390 Duke is starting to leak oil from a point I can't even seem to find up close. Can anyone suggest a good mechanic to have it inspected. Warranty expired last year August so just my luck financially as well.
I've been driving my car to work and left the bike under the car port for around 3 days and lucky me now has condensation building up under the dash as well! What on earth is the chance.. 2020 beating me to a pulp already.
If nothing comes of this I'll simply take it to Raceworx Roodepoort to have it looked at.
Sexy as hell. Willing to split ?
Dibs the mirrors

Those oil leaks are usually tedious tasks and I find that the mechanics at the dealers do not manage to fix the problem. Actually besides basic services I have noticed that dealers are actually crap when it comes to sorting out anything else.
If I were you I would first stop by at a little bike shop called "The bike man". He sorted out the small issues with quite a few of my bikes so far, including spongy ass brakes on the KTM I had. He'll tell you straight if he will be able to help you or not. He also sorted a coolent leak problem on a old Kawasaki ER5 which Yamaha linex, Wayne heaseman racing(No longer exists) and even fire it up didn't fix and charged my mother a couple of thousand each time until "the bike man" replaced a seal somewhere and bam! less than R500.
Raceworx tried to screw me over big time when the bike's rear suspension collapsed and was only sorted after I sent a query to KTM head office in Austria.
I do miss my KTM though. Maybe one day when I have a lot more disposable income I'll go back to a KTM.
Thanks a ton! Really do appreciate some direction.
Which one of the below is correct? Hopefully I can get it done sooner as Raceworx can only give me spot on Tuesday. I've unfortunately boycotted Fire It Up, they've screwed me over a number of times.

Huminahuminah that's sexy. Sucks you have to sell it; sorry man.
I'll post it on Wild Dogs forum - they're more off-road oriented but not exclusively so.
Well you could upgrade
I'm sure the 790 is more oomphy and lighter than that old 990
