[QUOTE="530ktm, post: 60928, member: 586"] I do not have a long history with the KTM's myself but I had one friend who had a 2003 525 and he never had any problems of any kind with that bike and he rode it very hard, right up to the day he was killed on it. :shocked: I have another friend who has a 2005 525 and it has several hundred hours and over 5 or 6,000 miles on it and he has never done anything to it to this day except for sprockets and maintenance, not sure his valves ever needed adjusting. I have 80 hours and 2300 miles on mine and all I have done is change the oil and regular maintenance. CDA only lost his horn and electric start probably from a loose wire somewhere. Not saying other bikes are bad but I have never heard any negative reports on the orange bikes either. :prof: [/QUOTE]
