Are there any problems with the KTM 250?
In the quest for light weight most European bikes have weak sidestands but KTM are probably the worst. If it falls off just buy a decent aftermarket one. A fairly rare issue was the weak idler gear on 2017 models, but it would be a much more common problem if riders used their kick starters a lot.
Why does my bike stall when put into 1st gear?
So I recently replaced my clutch plates and fibres and finally had a chance to ride the bike. Upon start up, I let the bike warm up, held clutch in and then put the bike into gear, and it immediately jumped and stalled. It keeps doing it and I can’t ride the bike. The clutch has been bled properly with 0 bubbles.
Are there any fixes for the KTM Husky?
The best fix possible is to use a longer bolt and tap the thread to make room for this: details here. KTM has fixed this for 2018 and also redesigned the case to provide more support. In 2017, KTM and Husky switched from the mostly trouble-free Keihin to the Mikuni carburetor.
Why does my KTM cam chain jump teeth?
Cam chain tensioner problems – the stock KTM cam chain tensioner is hydraulic. It uses pumped oil pressure to press the slider pad against the timing chain. In isolated cases a worn chain can jump teeth with fluctuations in oil pressure, but more commonly the engine will just be noisy when first started until the oil pressure rises.
What kind of gearing does a 350 SXF have?
A friend has a 350 with 13/52 gearing and a Rekluse clutch and that bike runs really good like that. It is like riding the world’s fastest minibike. The older I get, the faster I was. What gear ratios do u guys run, i kind of find myself in between gears.
Are there any problems with the new KTM?
For starters this isn’t a brand bashing post, but what the hell KTM. The amount of problems I’m seeing with the new KTM’s (especially two strokes) is just down right not acceptable.
Is there a serial defect in the KTM dumbgeon?
Oil pressure check bolt on bottom of the engine leaked. Clutch slave cylinder had major oil leak. A handful of failures out of thousands of units sold does not prove serial defect, at least not to me. With all due respect to the OP, you are naïve to think this will never happen just because you ride one brand or another.
