    Cam Wear. Any examples in SA?

    I hope so too, but as you say there are now real answers or insights as to the cause and KTM eiter helps or blames the failure for something you did i.e. try run better air filters for their shocking airbox design. Either way the brand is taking a hit as the chatter is now escalating and...

    Cam Wear. Any examples in SA?

    The direct result of all these unresolved issues with the platform is that the biggest advocates for a brand and it's products are current owners, which in this case is a lost cause for dealers.

    Cam Wear. Any examples in SA?

    The other brand understands the value and importance of protecting the integrity of the brand and ensure a loyal client base to support you for new models. KTM clearly couldn't give a rats arse, the result is a loyal clientele that is seriously considering other brands - I have always been a...

    Additional Spotlights for 2017 GSA

    Take a look at the new Desert Fox Raptor Pro lights, I fitted them to my 890 and they work incredibly well. They are 6000 lumens, the normal Raptor's are 1000 lumens. The big plus is the smart relay, almost operates like the Ezi Can as you can switch between yellow, white and a combination + a...

    Where has your bike taken you today?

    Epic rising up at Marakele, we camped at Klipbokkie, I can really recommend staying there, Gustav and his family went out of their way to pre-buy food for us and have everything setup when we arrived.

    Cam Wear. Any examples in SA?

    I'm in agreement with you on the points where warranties have been honoured or rejected due to unsupported modifications, but then again they have not fully come to the party as many have had to fork out fairly large sums of cash for the labour costs, which is an out of pocket expense as a...

    Cam Wear. Any examples in SA?

    Some possible insights into fighting KTM SA and global. Collectively those that have experienced the cam failure should possibly seek guidance from an attorney (there are attorneys out there that would take the case to take on a big corporate, make a name for themselves, and if they win the...

    Cam Wear. Any examples in SA?

    What I did yesterday, was disconnect the fuel line, at the fuel rail and then cycled the fuel pump, definitely no pressure issues there :) the fuel sprayed out at a steady rate. I then also sprayed carb cleaner into the fuel rail, plenty fluid ejected, possibly clearing any foreign objects. The...

    Cam Wear. Any examples in SA?

    I have no idea how to do that. This morning it fired right up and it's a lot colder in Centurion today than it was yesterday. If it was cam shaft wear, worn rings or valve clearance then surely it would be consistently the same?
