Yes unfortunately I followed through with the dealer and allowed them to tear it down the debris was dis guarded and we have no recourse other than to pay the bill. I’m going to have them repair the bike and if it happens again maybe they will help. Thsnks

That is the $2000 question. Our oil filter and screens were clean I’m worried about not having the answer and repeating a meltdown. We have an identical bike with over 200 hours on it. No issues. I’m getting two possibilities Oil pump gear or gasket material dislodging and causing blockage.

It also should be noted we purchased a new bike from the dealer in question the day we dropped the bike with the issue off. We are not trying to cheap out We are just not getting an answer as to what happened

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...

We are paying $9-$10k for a motorcycle that fails catastrophically in a very unreasonably short period of time. KTM has to be aware of this issue yet the engine design has not changed. I’m not sure if this is a design flaw or a quality control issue. Reguardless we need to figure out why this is happening so we can...

Our bike shows no issue with the oil pump gears. They are plastic but appear normal. I’m confused as to how many of these bikes are failing. KTM is saying everything looks good and I should put it together at my expense we bought the bike new five months ago

I’m finding this is not an uncommon issue. My concern is how do we prevent it $1500 in parts every 20hrs is tough to justify

Seems to be an oil delivery issue like the 350s. I am trying to find a common cause. The dealer claims foreign material must have got into the system during an oil change and blocked the passage that lubricates the cams. We are very careful and can not see how that could have happened. We do not want to reassemble...

Sorry your in our boat too

Yes that is my issue If I knew what caused this I would feel better moving forward. I know it is not lack of maintenance. If you truly neglected the bike and did nothing but ride it 20hrs would equal maybe 400 miles. This is not living up to the ready to race legacy

I agree and fully understand oil pressure requirements but why are there so many of these bikes failing. I personally have five acquaintances with the same issue. I’m looking for a solution as to prevent this after the rebuild. My screen and filter were clean our oil changes are every three hours I did notice metal on the drain plug...

How did they determine a casting issue. Our dealer indicated a blocked oil passage. The cam and bridge were seized together and metal was everywhere so I question which came first the meltdown or the clog

We did 6 oil changes in 20 hrs our gncc races are 3 plus hours long it is not in the cards for a ready to race KTM to complete one race without stopping for fresh oil?. My ims fuel tank gives us almost three hours of run time. Surely KTM doesn’t believe oil should expire before a tank of...

I’m aware of no less than 5 other owners who have encountered this issue. What can be done to prevent the cam sprayers from clogging. We are changing oil and filters every three hours. The dealer told us we must have introduced dirt into the system during an oil change.
