KTM’s parts catalogue identifies battery 90611053000 as a 12V/8Ah unit for both the 2018 RC 390 and the redesigned 2022–23 RC 390; the 2022 owner’s manual calls the fitted battery ETZ-9-BS. The fitment evidence therefore points to the YTX9-BS-size family (about 150 × 87 × 105–106 mm), with terminals viewed from the front as positive left and negative right. Do not substitute the taller YTZ10S/YTZ-family sizes merely because a retailer calls them an upgrade.

Buying tips
- Tier 1 is the 2014–21/first-generation family; Tier 2 is the redesigned 2022–24 RC 390. KTM’s 90611053000 appears in both catalogue families, but check the VIN-specific parts fiche before purchasing.
- Measure the removed battery and photograph the cable orientation. The compatible YTX9-BS layout is positive left and negative right when viewed from the front/terminal side.
- Do not infer fitment from a Duke listing. This list uses RC 390 fitment evidence; a YTZ8V, YTZ10S or taller 150 × 70 × 130 mm battery is not automatically an RC 390 substitute.
- Use an AGM charger for AGM batteries. Lithium batteries need the battery maker’s approved charging method; never use a desulfation mode unless the maker permits it.
