None of the 65 bikes I've had have ever caught fire......and there's certainly no reports of any CB500 Hondas bursting into flames. And they've sold shitloads of them over the last 10 years. You don't sound too confident with this KTM though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boboneleg Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 I saw that the other day, some of the guys that have 790/890's were saying that the fuel lines run close to the exhaust 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KTM has been a let down lately. I know one of Portugal’s best race motorcycle mechanics and his shop stopped selling KTM bikes not made for motocross or enduro because he couldn’t handle the warranty claims and dissatisfied customers. Sold a bunch of Dukes and swore to never again. 29 minutes ago, XTreme said: And there hasn't been a recall? You troll 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, the handling of warranty issues, particularly those that are dangerous, give a clear indicator as to the quality of a company. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re crap with warranties. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
