Basically the same. The big change was from '22 to '23 models.

Dankie 🙏🏻 Nie 100% seker daaroor nie. Die crankcase breather is waardeur al die olie binne in die airbox laat invloei. Dink werklik dis piston ringe

He bought it on auction, think it was a write off, not sure. However he rebuilt it, including the engine. According to him it dropped a valve and had a few parts replaced. Still waiting for that parts list/invoice to see what was all done. I'm taking it back to him, going to insist on either...

About 250km and yes would guess around 200-500ml

My mate says it does look more blue though....

White smoke as far as I can tell. And yes a bunch of oil used and oil pooling in the airbox. The main paper filter was drenched in oil

Since I got my back bike after the used engine was installed I noticed smoke coming out of the exhaust. Last night while prepping for todays ride there was a pool of oil in the airbox which I cleaned out. My mate said there is a lot of smoke coming from the exhaust while riding behind me. The...

Yeah this was also discussed and very plausible. What bothers me is the fact that KTM didn't figure this out yet (or they did) and haven't done anything about it yet

The valve clearance seem to become too tight early on. The manual states 30k km. Mechanics in the industry say earlier on these engines. Think it is to also try and mitigate the cam wear

Yebo. Some mechanics with years and years experience stated that the intervals are way too widespread. Oil and oil filter should be done every 7500km max and valve check at around 20 000km to be safe. Some even suggested earlier. KTM's promise of reliability and long service intervals really...

In all honesty I don't think the dealership took that into consideration because they did apply some discount where they could, so possibly that it might've offset something somewhere. Will know in a bit

Can't seem to find that comment now, however it does indeed look like KTM SA did not renew their contract with Motorex... Received my final invoice today and lo and behold, Motul on the invoice, beautiful red in the oil sight glass. Which raises another question, I paid for Motorex and got...

Finally got her back after a heart transplant

Can be a twin spark though, IE. 2 spark plugs.

Can also not be a 2011. The last model was 2007 and was then superseded by the twin cylinders

I think it has more to do with the zinc in the oil that destroys catalytic converters which in turn the Euro5 or whatever it is now shits themselves. Hence no more oils that have zinc in them which is of course not healthy for engines. This Euro5 crap which they force down our throats is really...

This is what reliability should look like in our engines! Taken from a KTM 990 Adventure Owners Group

Posted an hour ago. Worst one yet. Not sure of model, year or mileage to be confirmed. 😳

Yeah that's we all are hoping for
