  The RIKEN Ring Cyclotron (RRC K540) has been in stable operation over twenty-five years, and supplying many kinds of heavy-ion beams to experiments. Since 2007, it has also been supplying beams to the RIBF four Ring cyclotrons including the Super-conducting Ring Cyclotron (SRC K2500). Now the RRC has three kinds of injectors, one is K70 AVF cyclotron for light ions, the second is the variable-frequency linac for heavy ions, and the third is the RILAC2 for using the high intensity very heavy ions like U and Xe. The many combinations of accelerators are possible, and in any acceleration modes, the RRC should works as a first energy booster. A total operation time of the RRC is more than 5000 hr in every year. The present status of the RRC operation will be reported.
