- Engine got obnoxiously loud around 17,000 miles. While checking valves, I found major wear on one of the intake camlobes with follower almost worn through. Took her to the local dealer, I had to provide receipts for all maintenance work, at first warranty claim was denied with ktm claiming they are wear items, still have the email for proof. I had to involve the original purchasing dealer, the sales person had a good contact at ktm who got them to provide the fix under warranty. The entire debacle took 6 months, 2 of which were waiting for parts, the rest was the dealer(s) trying to get ktm to cover the work. No more KTMs for me, thanks.
