    Snowbikes?

    We sell alot of them at our dealership, they work better on the bigger 4 strokes because of the torque of the 450/500's. From the customers that we talk to, they love them...although some of them say it's almost too easy that it takes some of the fun out of it. They go anywhere and they glide...

    Watch the birds

    Well, I'm not the only one I guess! The second week I had my bike, a bird swooped in and broke my bellypan, I ended up getting the race one to replace it

    Bank angle Sensor (lean angle sensor), anyone know of it's location?

    Mine is sending codes, I gotta get to it..or find it first. Anyone happen to know of it's location? I know it attached (through the wiring diagram) to the EFI control unit but before I start really digging into it I was wondering if someone may have known it's location. Thanks!

    Does dealer have to ride new motorcycle?

    Depends on the dealer, and as Treachery said, none come with 0.0 on them as they are tested in the factory. Certain KTM models you couldn't though, the 1190&1290ADV,RC8 and the Superduke came in transport lock mode, they will not start until they are put on the computer and the lock is removed...

    Has anyone tried using a clamp mounted air filter on the intake?

    Heat would be something to think about, as these bikes run pretty hot most of the time. With the fairing I don't know how much "cool" air is passed into that area, it might be a negative spot for air..and it's just surrounded by the hot air from the engine. The stock airbox runs a snorkel up...

    Cutting off within the first minute..

    The reason they idle rough for a couple mins (and can stall) is that for the first minute of so the ECU is talking with the sensors, getting air temp, A/F readings etc and adjusting to that. Every KTM (even dirtbikes) that are EFI do that (This is from the KTM school). Before they go out the...

    Mounting the GoPro

    I've put a sticky mount on the battery cover, I like the view and it doesn't shake much at all. I also have a bar mount that I have on the frame by the clutch cover, but that only shows a specific view obviously, not good for a normal video.

    First service Issues 6+ hours and $370 wtf???

    Yeah the second time around it would be quicker, knowing now what has to come apart to get to it. 5 hours isn't bad for the first one they've done.

    First service Issues 6+ hours and $370 wtf???

    I work in the industry, And yes the time quoted is off, KTM is good on the dirtbikes for giving a time requirement but they are off on the streetbikes, Polaris is bad for this as well. Just given that the manual even shows doing the work with the engine out of the frame shows that they didn't do...

    Getting vinyl wrap, anyone else?

    I just finished putting on my KTM powerparts "race" graphics kit today, got the Tyga race belly pan in today so it was time to put the graphics kit on. I'm quite happy with it, it goes up under the passenger seat (not pictured) and onto the tank. They do not come precut for the race belly pan...

    Airbox Holes

    Yup, you are correct. The CUP guys can get away with it since they are almost always in clean air. Us street guys are not most of the time so I wouldn't do that drilling mod. The snorkel for the airbox is under the passenger seat so it would take quite alot of water flowing in that area to...

    Logging service

    It certainly doesn't hurt! We've had a few things that KTM has warrantied on a "case by case" basis so you never know.

    Logging service

    Even if there is a document trail and something happens, Unless it's a document from the dealer that service such and such has been done than KTM warranty will be void, and even if it's not warranty they'll still ignore it and look at what they see at the moment (the issue at hand). It would be...
