I've had this experience with new KTM's and Huskys. This last year friends and I have bought 5-6 of em and all had different electrical issues. If you look at the wiring it's super shitty and not weather proofed at all. The connectors are dirt cheap. Within a summer my wiring had all corroded at the connectors. Pretty sad.

Exactly why I will never own either of those pieces of shit.

If you look at european bikes as a whole, not just dirtbikes, they arent exactly reliable in the electrical department. Ducati is a prime example.

Would be a better move if we just turned his membership upside down. Someone click this idiot. We don't need grubs like that here.

Disagree on the “dirt cheap” connectors. The connectors are marine grade, what they use out on the good ol’ high seas. I will agree that the wiring could use some tidying up, prevent chaffing points.
From what I’ve seen and heard from fellow racers at the track, the connectors and harnesses seem to be outsourced to China or other Asian countries where manufacture price is dirt cheap. I understand they are trying to save money but damn. When this many people are having electrical problems, they need to sort these things out. I for sure won’t be giving them money, and the 5+ people I know that have had problems are definitely going back to the Japanese manufacturers.
