    2014 KTM 690 camshaft failure

    I don't see why not. I'm quite proficient at resolving and objecting to beaurocracy - the bigger obstacle may to source documents and onerous payments!

    2014 KTM 690 camshaft failure

    I've reached out to BSR Motorsports, and while they were very helpful, the pricing was too close to new to consider. I realise I failed to follow up on the cam, but if memory serves, it was for a restoration. I'll follow up on this to confirm actually, but consider this route only a partial...

    2014 KTM 690 camshaft failure

    I'm still patiently scouring for parts, trying to keep the repair within an acceptable cost in terms of the bike's value. I've been given an offer of mid 20k for it as is, advertising as a project bike. While it is money for another bike, I'm still liking the idea of using it for an electrical...

    2014 KTM 690 camshaft failure

    I've been cleaning and dismantling on the 690's engine as time permits. I've cleaned the case, piston shaft and cylinder head and took it to KTM for their opinion on the repair. They confirm my concern of the risk that the same failure happens again, should I install a new bearing where the old...

    I'm still looking around, not making much progress though. Only complete engines I find are overseas. I've calculated that at this rate, my lowest risk, albeit at the highest overall expense is to price a rebuild from the dealer after I've cleaned it🥲 If I had a case splitter and/or harmonic...

    2014 KTM 690 camshaft failure

    The head was actually quite clean, barring the shredded bearing and bits. The dirt you see there is powder from me removing the remainder of the sleeve. One of the initial suspects was that the waterpump seal failed, causing water ingress and murky oil. When I disassembled the top end, I found...

    2014 KTM 690 camshaft failure

    I've reached out to several scrapyards and checked online, but no luck so far, hence the OEM parts option.

    2014 KTM 690 camshaft failure

    Hi All, I just joined here. I happened on the site while searching for info, parts and replacement bikes lol. My 690 recently had a camshaft failure of sorts, around the 55k km's mark. It has a full dealer service history, and the rockers were replaced 2 years prior under warranty at KTM. The...
