Guys i bought KTM 1290 super duke R just today and i am dead serious TODAY - i was waiting for 9 years to buy one i still cannot believe that my dream come true - please sort it out, you are the best, your bikes are absolutely brilliant, you simply have to make it thru this tough times....... i wish you only the best

[@EagleF3F]

Congrats! I ride a 2020 Super Duke R and it's a great bike. Change the clutch slave cylinder to Sigutech or similar aftermarket. I got stranded because the clutch slave seals go bad after a while. If you wait too long the brake fluid from the clutch can get into the engine oil and damage bearings.

Quality Control is key for success! I drive Japanese Bikes and never had an issue in 3 decades 😃 I hope the best for KTM and may all engine drillings be in tolerance

[@DoItWithPaulie]

Honda just recalled 2023 Montesa 4rt. Engine casing not drilled properly.

[@izmirazul9116]

@@DoItWithPaulieYes, Honda made recall, because they take responsibility and fix it. KTM denies the problems and leaves customers in problem. The Japanese are honoured. KTM acts like Volkswagen and fights with its customers.

[@DoItWithPaulie]

@ agreed… had Hondas since I was a kid,great bikes.I now have a Honda Montesa 4ride and a ktm duke 390 and I love them both.the ktm was cheap in comparison for a reason though

[@rockys777]

ktm should have made a recall on ALL the 790/890 engines for cam failure prevention, yet they blame it on everything else rather than the wrongly machined oil passages for the oil squirters at the head. Oil flow is not directed properly for the sufficient lubrication of cams and they are guaranteed to fail at one point. Real companies that care about the customers and gheir reputation take the hard way of seallowing the pill and make a recall. Ktm on the other hand blame it on eveything else rather than themselves. We all saw that coming, im sure they did too. Hope they get above this mess and overcome the financial struggle and offer some great products for the market in the future

[@JochenThe1]

@@rockys777 Agree, there is an nice Video from UK where an 790 engine (from 2021?) was disassembled and you clearly can see the off-center oil distribution drilling for the nozzle that shall spill the camshaft with oil. Today this issue sould be solved. But it shows how important quality control is.

I personally ride Yamaha, but I will say the motorcycle world wouldn't be the same without KTM. From all the races I only watch Dakar, but I see all the people who love to race and love watching races. From enduro to GP, it brings people together. And then there is riding of course, and meeting old friends and new people through this unusual hobby/lifestyle. Glad to be part of it.

[@Kyle_7.7]

KTM has been getting so much hate. Can’t stand hearing everyone talk about how the company should be ran, When they don’t have one themselves. They took a gamble during the lockdowns and it didn’t pay off, And the lockdowns hurt their business like everyone. This is major over exaggeration Of reliability And quality, They go on and on about the 790, I have one and I can’t find the problems they’re talking about Did research and out of 300,000 parallel twin engines made, 0.4% were reported with an issue, That’s really good quality compared to other European manufacturers, And I mean, really like what company was perfect from start to finish, One of the biggest European manufacturers, I’m sure they know what they’re doing, This is a very professional company that loves their machines. I can guarantee it. Have some faith & stop hating.🧡

[@EagleF3F]

It's not just the 790 and it's not just the camshaft issue. The 790 also pisses out coolant from the thermostat housing. Everyone knows this. KTM changed the parts later. I have three 2020 KTM's in my garage right now. And I got stranded on two of them and the third is sitting in a puddle of coolant. They are awesome bikes, but quality is a big issue.

[@endurists1286]

Arrogance and disregard for customers come to bite you. I am the owner of a 790 adventure and what I experienced with it is a shame for the manufacturer. I've been waiting for an answer from KTM for months. The oil was changed every 5000 km and the camshafts were eaten as if they were made of cheese. Shame on KTM

[@yammt3148]

You need to stop your current marketing/PR campaign. This is not the time to pretend. Make some videos and actually TALK TO YOUR CUSTOMERS. Tell people you are sorry, you have learned, and you will do better. People want your bikes, but you overprice them, have bullsh!t tech subscriptions, and your product is UNRELIABLE. Look what Honda is charging for their new Hornet bike... LOOK AT ALL THE TECH ALREADY ON IT. Get it now?

[@clukait]

Looks like you have absolutely no idea who drove the cart into the dirt. It certainly wasn't all the enthusiasts who spoke here, nor were all the men and women who put these great motorcycles together. They have my full respect! And all of these managers and Mr. Pierer should keep in mind the appreciation for these people and do everything they can to support this traditional company with everything they can so that they can get out of the crisis. Bajaj and CF-Moto would love to grab their shares because they have never learned to develop something so creative on their own. If they had just a shred of humility or human compassion, it would certainly not be a problem to help KTM out of the crisis.

A very sad PR attempt. 3 Billion euros in debt??? Senior management lost their way with out of control costs for Moto GP, Motocross, Supercross, Dakar Rally, MV Agusta acquisition, new California building. Poor forecasting for motorcycle demand, slumping discretionary spending in the US for motorized toys. Added to that, confusing multiple brands & poor quality control. Topping it off, charging premium prices for Chinese & Indian sourcing. KTM has a VERY steep ladder to climb. I feel sorry for their employees & their families & wish them well. I hope KTM can recover!!

This is all good but your camshafts issue was never clarified, no official statement to the general public...this is probably what killed your sales and my trust in your brand...specifics on WHAT caused your bad camshafts, HOW it was resolved in production, FACTS, FACTS, FACTS about it...the fact that you took FULL responsibility for ALL the warranty cases....THAT IS WHAT MATTER in your PR campaigns...KTM did not at the beginning took responsibility for the issue or even acknowledge the problem = how to kill your brand!...+ prices are too high compared to other brands + your headlights are the ugliest ever! So you need a video on THAT subject: your chocolate camshafts! And SURVEY your public on WHAT they want, that is the BASIC of marketing...and you are almost bankrupt but your prices have not changed 1 euro!????

In 2025 hopefully KTM focuses more on RC based models rather than Duke. The market especially south Asian and European markets love mid capacity twin engine based sport bikes. Since 390 platform is no longer wooing customers the best way forward is a RC 590 or even a 490.

You know, everywhere I look, I see steep markdowns on all KTM motorcycles by dealers... except for one bike. the KTM 300 XCW. It is the one bike in their whole lineup that really outshines the rest, especially from 2024 and up. KTM, you need to get back to your roots and have hardcore focus.
