    Extended warranty

    I did two third party requests and both told me they could not provide me with an extended warranty on this bike. Knock on wood I have had essentially 0 issues but would be nice for peace of mind. Anything under 500 for an additional 2-3 years and/or 10-15K miles is fair to me.

    Anyone else racing their KTM's?

    Ha trust me we are all on the same page, going into the unknown a bit here. What is known is that from a fuel capacity standpoint we're at a disadvantage but that's about it on the knowns. Bike will have suspension front and rear, exhaust, filter, and a tune. That's the gist of it.

    How many miles + problems thread

    Assuming there is some truth to the whole "good batch bad batch" theory, I would say that you and I had bikes built at a very similar time and consisted of a "good batch", possibly when the Austrian assemblers were at the plant assisting/directing on the first group. Essentially identical...

    Understanding Warped Head Gasket

I personally am asking because I'm at around 6,200 miles now and what has...

    What kind of sliders are needed at minimum?

    Dropped clutch lever side both times, so engine case is exposed. Otherwise opposite side yes I'd figure belly pan takes a hit.

    What kind of sliders are needed at minimum?

    I've dropped my RC on two occasions at standstill and at 3-4mph. In both cases damage was as follows: - bent clutch lever - scratched engine case - scratched bar end - scratched gear lever Everything else on the bike was absolutely perfect. Something about the angles on the bike lead to a...

    Dragging elbows at NCM Motorsports Park

    I actually think your BP is really good. If you watch some of those kids in the cup series, they go way off the bike to maximize contact patch. Edit: what is the setup on the bike suspension/tire wise?
