I used a little bit of fuel line I had lying around and reused the existing Y connectors:

p.s. - if anybody knows a shop in SE Michigan that they trust to work on these bikes, let me know. I'd like to upgrade the springs, but don't want to do it myself.

The db killer on my yoshi is the same, no perforations. Just a tube crammed into a collar. It does make a noticeable difference in volume for me.

Good idea. I think I'll go the repair route until the new tank gets here. Thanks.

Ordered a new tank from ktm-parts.com. Got an email today stating that it's back ordered until march 2019. I'm hoping that's not really the case. Anybody have suggestions as to where to get a tank? Will a 2015 or 2016 tank fit my 2017? If so, maybe I can just ebay one for now. This is the...

Ideally I would take it to the dealer to ensure KTM is made of aware of the issue, but I just don't have the time and patience. If somebody has a contact at KTM I could email this thread to, let me know. Otherwise, I'll just find whatever KTM support email I can find and let them know.

Very cool. Look forward to the dedicated post. Curious if you're going to use the stock injector.

Love it. There's not another bike like it. The character of the high compression single combined with the handling makes it unique among my other riding experiences. It's also stupid light and looks dangerous. A+++++ would buy again. I ignored the break-in period and rode it hard from day...

Suck some out with a tube from the fill location.
