Don't think it's the same issue here, as there is an updated part now that seems much stiffer and it seems like you checked, but we've seen numerous 250's and 350's with the warped oil pump rotor gear which cause the fried heads. We've seen it after 1 hour, 30 hours, 150 hours... Sucks to have to take the clutch off and check it on every service we do on the 16+ KTM and Huskys so we can confidently give it back to the customer. That being said, KTM has covered multiple of them, even after many more hours than you'd think. Good luck to you, hopefully your dealer can get in contact with the right people and get you squared away, because KTM is very good at covering issues like this if your dealer is competent.

Yes we did check the gear KTM inspected it and it is ok The dealer involved is trying to help. The tech that disassemble our bike noted that debris blocked the oil passage. KTM is reviewing our case but related that the tech statement takes the liability from them. My issue is what is the debris and where did it come from. They are implying we somehow got a piece of dirt in the system during our last oil change. It is what came first. The engine seized at the cams metal and plastic melted How does a tech determine the debris and origin blocking a tiny passage. More reasonable blockage is the debris from the meltdown

I'm not sure what you expect from the manufacturer at this point. The information they have (from the tech) says there was debris.
I think the solution here would be between you and the dealership (specifically, that tech). Had they shown you the "debris", you could get a more clear picture of the how & why. Either way, good luck, I hope it works out.
