Duke 390 Oil pressure issues

Hi guys

Last May I bought myself the new model KTM Duke 390, I love the bike but I've had a lot of troubles with it.
Over heating, radiator cracking, TFT dash needed replacing and recently I've had to replace the oil pump.
Recently I've been having more issues with the oil pump and it's now giving me the same error I had with the old one, Oil pressure low.

It was fine for the first 500kms but now it comes on after about 200m of riding. One thing I've noticed is that it doesn't come on when the bike is at idle OR I'm giving it the beans. Say 8000+ RPM
The bike shop I bought it from is closed for the long weekend so I can't take it in and I'd really like to know if anyone has some experience with this. I'm wondering if it's a potential air lock somewhere?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! I really love my bike but all of these issues are getting quite tiresome, I don't know of anyone else who's had so many issues with their '17 390

Bikes Husqvarna 701 Supermoto

I've decided to sell my 701 SM. I've only owned the bike since December - I sold my Speed Triple to get into something completely different, but now regret my decision and I want to get back onto a supernaked. The bike has been incredible fun, but just doesn't quite suit me long term.

Bike has an arrow pipe and crash protection/case savers. Factory warranty until January 2019.

The bike has been totally faultless, pulls incredibly hard and is a shit load of fun. I've changed to a 15t front sprocket which I strongly recommend, though it also comes with the original 16t as well.

Brand new Michelin Power RS tyres ($600).

KM's will change as I'll still be riding it.

I'm in Tauranga, get me on 021 800 216.

Waterproof commuting

Looking for advice. I commute daily 20 min each direction in Auckland. I have 2 piece leathers and I've been using waterproof over jacket and pants in wet weather. The pants were great initially but they leak like a sieve now - wet crotch etc. It's also a pain having to carry this gear just in case of rain (no storage capacity on my Thruxton R) I'm thinking of investing in some waterproof textiles for this winter. Any recommendations?

I have waterproof liners in my leathers but they are a waste of time and still let water in - Rev'it gear.

I'm leaning towards goretex textile (i.e. they outer shell is waterproof) but they are hellish expensive - something like Rev'it poseidon GTX or Kim Badlands. I'm prepared to pay the money to stay dry but only if it's a guaranteed solution.

I'd welcome some advice.

Farm bike to dirt/trails bike?

So I picked up a cheap as ag100.
Have got it running as best as it can be I guess in its stock form. I've taken all the carrier stuff off of it, to help lighten it a bit. Freed up the airbox, cleaned out the carb and fuel tank. Fresh gas etc. Sorted clutch cable and tightened everything up.

I've now just come to realize how slow and basically useless it is on the trails we have.
I'm not wanting better speed or power but was thinking since I know now how limited it is could I make it at least look and ride better?

I'm thinking strip it to the bones and just add different bike parts?

Or does anyone have any easy diy tips to get some more go out of this pig?

Can't sell it and buy another bike.
A. I live in Blenheim so there is no other bikes.
B. Don't have the funds right now.

Though there is a cr85 for 1k I could possibly get if I sold this. But its a small wheel? I'm only 5' something so might still be to big?

USA Trip

I'm heading to the US in June for 3 months to ride. First trip to the States. I have purchased a bike privately in Connecticut. Can anyone who has done this in the past recommend an Insurance Company and also the process to get the bike transferred into my name. Anything else to be wary of in this process.
