They do fit, however less aggressive lobes apparently

Jip. They have QR codes on the parts so it will be very easy to trace

The bearing journals on the head, cams and cam bridge almost always have scoring marks. I'd love to have the journals on the head and cam bridge machined out and add bearing journals (with oil galleries) like it is in the bottom end

Do you have photo evidence of the cam lobes, jounals and followers?

Yes and no as the results vary. Sometimes (a lot of the time) these followers still look fine/acceptable and the cams are worn. Rockwell Hardness test results on the cams are also inconsistent, plent only coming in at 45 which is way too soft. However the journals on the head and cams almost...

🤣

Agreed. The backlash they are facing is way worse than damage control/issuing a recall. Plenty of people already jumping ship to other brands - customers lost, many people steering clear from buying a LC8C - potential sales lost. If 10 people decide not to buy one, that is R2 - R3million lost...

Yes we received information last week that they'll be making an announcement soon. Still waiting though... Plus MCN (motorcycle magazine in the UK) is doing a full story on it, they are busy gathering information and interviewing some of those affected.

Ja ja, bedoelend ek hoor jou en stem saam👌🏻

Eager to see what your adjustment down below looks like at the clutch arm as this has a big impact as initial free play. The free play gets fine tuned up at the lever. PS, have also noticed that Motorex made shifting feel more 'mechanical', had to shift harder to find the gears. Motul made a...

Ja ja, net nog meer bewyse dat soos die cams geëet word die gemors af in die olie pomp op eindig voordat dit deur die filters gaan. Dis hoekom KTM 'n opdateerde head uitgebring het met 'n adisionele filter screen bo in die head

Went to go see Deon today. Said he really thinks it's a leaking valve seal. Tore it down when I got home and voila. All evidence points to just that. Previous owner had the valve seals replaced by specialists on the cylinder 1 head, so he is pissed that they messed this up (Moto Masters)...

OEM olie filter en OEM sif screens😉

Ja ek weet wat jy sê. Tog het ek 'n oilie pomp hier op my werk bank wat binne moer toe geskaaf is wat verhoed om ordentlik te beweeg as bewys dat iets deur die filter en screens gaan

Presies net so. Die olie pomp word gewoonlik ook vervang omdat dit fail agv al daai metaal wat daardeur loop. Dit raak soos 'n grinding paste wat deur die filters en screens beweeg

Were you able to resolve this?

Seems KTM will make a statement very soon. Praying and hoping for the best outcome on this.

He abandoned that afaik
