What happened to Pats bike??? New top end???

[MikeinFresno]

I never heard why a NEW bike needs a new top end and wire harness..........

 

[cleonard]

It's a KTM. Enough said.

That bike is not even a year old yet, right?

More seriously, what happened? Bike go for a swim? Forgot to install the air filter?

How do you break a wire harness or is it a manufacturing issue?

Anyhow, hope you don't miss any good riding from the bike issues.

Racks bike in the shop needing a new topend and wire harness.

 

[Rack]

no just rings is the thought at this point. the harness because the wires have rotted apparently. its all good its under warranty. so 80 hours and some new rings and cam chain tensioner is a good thing.

It's what happens when you lug a bike around in first gear.

Or the bike decides it wants to go for a swim.

So how did this all come to lite? Was it smoking? How did you find the bad wiring?

 

[MikeinFresno]

asking again, how did you find bad wires, what happened that it needs rings??

 

[Weathergeek]

Rack has a short attention span. Maybe the KTM has swimmers ear.

I think he's just ignoring you, maybe push his bike in the water next time.
