didn't they have a rash of fires from brake and/or clutch lines developing small holes that sprayed a high pressure mist on hot exhaust pipes resulting in combustion?

I know they had one do that locally at a hare scramble.

KTM's are having a coil problems causing this. Local kid was burned pretty bad here.

I don't know about fire......but I have 3 hours on my 2013 KTM 450 SXF. I love it! Just put stiffer springs front and rear and I absolutely love it. I raced it today.Now,at one point after I had just moved into first place, I went into a right turn and the bike felt like it was fouling a plug or running out of gas. It stopped doing that 50 feet later and I babied it for half a lap. Cranked it open going around Talladega at Glen Helen and it seemed fine. I finished the last two laps in first but that was just weird. Anyone had anything like this happen?

It should catch on fire pretty soon.
Good luck!
