Why is my KTM 530 EXC-R engine not working?
Also, the clutch problems I had put up with since buying the bike were getting worse – almost untenable. After starting the engine when cold, placing it into first gear always resulted in a clunk, and usually a stalled engine. Recently, the bike would move forward with the clutch engaged, even when the engine was warm.
Why is the oil seal on my KTM 530 failing?
The first problem is the oil seal on the primary drive out of the engine is failing. KTM are trying to blame some poor bastard on the production line for faulty fitting, which can contribute to the problem. The second part of this problem is the primary drive shaft is a two part component. The join of this shaft is right where the seal is place.
Are there any problems with the KTM 08?
KTM should save face and recall the ’08 450 & 530 motors as it is a serious safety problem. I race enduros and rode the Finke Desert Race at over 180km/h on the same 450 with all these problems, I have lost faith with it & will sell it as soon as it is fixed. Jeez I wish I kept my ’07, it was faster but didn’t handle as good as the 08.
How do you replace a vacuum line on a KTM 530?
In general, it’s just unplugging carb breathers from wherever they go and dangling out the bottom like usual, but there’s one vacuum line coming from the manifold that needs to be blocked. The easiest way is to pull the barbed fitting out and replace it with a correct length bolt. Off with you!

What makes a KTM Off road bike so good?
In my eyes, the beauty of KTM off-road bikes is how well they work for hardcore off-roading, the kind of stuff that has slippery roots and high elevation snow all in the same day as deep sand and bermed hardpack.
Which is better a KTM or an excr?
KTM’s hit a target, where they retain an edge and hold up to racepace, but don’t demand it, and at the same time have the amenities that get you up the mountain 10 hours into the day in the middle of a driving rainstorm.
