It's not as predatory as you might think. It sounds silly but so patent applications are just to stop another company/individual from doing so first. KTM might well have known their application would be challenged, but at least that ensures they get to use the design licence free.

I'm kind of surprised that the process to develop the KTM TPI was such a large challenge. Might be a daft comment, but at the same time we had EFI in two stroke snowmobiles since around 1991 with the Polaris Indy 500 EFI. It used a throttle body fuel injection system with a crankcase inducted oil pump. Worked pretty well and was reliable, along with being relatively simple, especially considering the regular Indy 5 used a carb engine that was almost identical apart from the intake. Just seems like a very complicated way of doing things compared to other powersports applications that are quite similar.

It could be that the problem lies in squeezing the most power out of the engine. Snowmobile engines aren't tuned for the highest power, they're tuned for reliability. In the video it was already explained that heat is a problem and the heat rises significantly when you want to squeeze more power out of an engine.

​@@tjroelsma Snowmobiles are manufactured 100% with high horsepower in mind. They went efi because they are making more power and it was harder to tune. Sleds see huge elevation and temperature changes drastically in one ride and that was what was causing reliability issues because of tuning restriction on carbs. If it wasn't about hp and just reliability they wouldn't be manufacturing these sleds with turbos.

@@thebros-br3to There's a difference between an engine being tuned for high horsepower and maximum horsepower. Altitude is always a problem with carbs, so they went with EFI, not to raise the amount of horsepower, but to avoid the drop of horsepower. Snowmobiles also use a CVT and for a CVT you don't want peak horsepower, you want optimum torque in the range where the CVT works the best, which is between 50-70% of WOT. Everything above that does increase the speed, but drops the torque, which is why snowmobiles can effectively pull heavy sleds, because in that midrange the engine delivers maximum torque to the CVT.

Outboard motors like Mercury had injected 2 strokes almost 50 years ago. I converted a 300 TPI to TBI and now it is reliable. I did it just before KTM started to change the 300 XC 's to TBI from TPI. The KTM TPI 300's had approx. 10+ ECU maps over the years. And the throttle body air bypass screw was set differently on every year.

@@OtisFlint Big wrong!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I have a 2022 KTM 300 XC TPI it was a huge piece of crap. I know of many 2022's around the world that would seize. The largest dealer in my country had mine multiple times and could not determine why it never had power and would cut in and out when riding it. It cut out once so bad when they were test riding it that is flipped over backwards right in front of me. It seized at 7.4 hours. KTM replaced the crankshaft, piston & cylinder. I paid the labor. It seized at 7.4 hours again. Less than 6 minutes on it. KTM replaced it with a complete new crate motor and a new oil pump. KTM covered it all 100%. Then it ran like a different bike. After 2 hours I turned it into a TBI (before the 2023's came out with TBI) and to premix. It has been good now. I have been riding bikes for 40+ years, am a licenced mechanic, a control and instrumentation Engineering Tech and a mechanic tech. I could not find the problem. I do not have all the diagnostic tools the dealership has. I never heard from anyone what the issue(s) where that my or any KTM was having. The dealer told me they had more bikes with poor power also.

Awesome video. My feelings were that ktm were reposnding to years of posts on bulletin boards in mid '00's asking for injected 2 stokes that would make them feel like 4 strokes. Ktm wanted to be first in market but had the fallback explanation of emissions if performance was critisized. Ktm struggled with any new tech like when they tried slipper pistons and split crankcase oiling (on 4 strokes). It was never going to go smoothly.

So I have the Te300i Pro from Husqvarna, that TBI engine is superb. She rips, she lugs, she idles. I also have the FE350 which I also love. I can tell you that with the advent of TBI, the low end torque is akin to a 4 banger. TBI is a god send and one of the best most important inventions in 2 smoke history IMHO. If you don't own a TBI bike you are missing out. It's just that simple. With TBI we have moved on past carbs, it is what it is.

KTM innovates and every brand that does that essentially does it on the back of its' customers... That being said LC8s were and still are amazing engines in almost every way. LC4 was the most powerful single up till today and still can be with a few mods and quite reliable for how much hurt riders put on it.Their dirt bikes for the most part are very rugged.LC8c is a very very good platform but suffers terribly from unreliability. Many times they're inexcusable but overall it's got it's crowd for a reason. I've put 5k kms in 2 months on a KTM 950 with 70k kms and it hasn't missed a beat, an almost 20 year old bike. Granted the service was terribly expensive for it but it's brought me more joy than bikes I had that were manufactured from 2010 till 2022 even...

What a brilliant video, I thought I recognised the trails and then realised it was Bulgaria where I now live. I have worked for KTM in the UK and they have invented very little. Just take a look at the cylinder heads on the RFS engine, now take a look at the early Husqvarna, later to become the Husaburg, maybe that is why they had to buy Husaburg? I have been riding bikes for over sixty years and fuel inject will never be as good as a carb. The first version of KTM's inject in their road bikes was (as delivered) dangerous. My last point is why does it even need to be on performance machines? Their emission's are not even calculable in world terms. Just smoke and mirrors, how much oil and how many rebuilds does the latest KTM 4 strokes need in a year, if you are to believe their own manual? Lets get all the trucks and aircraft converted to electric first. Do things that make a real difference.

From my view, TBI is step back in fuel injection technology. With TPI, there is virtually no gasoline in the cranckcase, which is good for bearings. And there is much more precise controlling amount of fuel that goes into combustion chamber. With TBI, if you close throttle, there still is some fuel left behind in the crankcase. I suspect the cost savings is he main reason why KTM switched to TBI from well established TPI. Now they don't need special cylinder with machined holes for injectors.

There's a common belief that fuel injection on a 2 Stroke is difficult, but it's not at all. The problem always was that everyone wanted direct injection, which is more difficult indeed. TPI (Throttle Port Injection) was the closest to direct injection, that's why they went that route. I never understood why simply replacing the carburetor with a throttle body was apparently not an option, especially since it allows a cleaner combustion. Now KTM did just that and it works miles better than the TPI. Overcomplicating things is often the biggest problem.

For ten + years Rotax has had direct injection on there snowmobile engines, with great success. The technology is there. With direct injection there's 0 raw fuel in the exhaust, because fuel is injected into the cylinder after the piston has closed the exhaust port. Im sure Rotax has paton on it because neither Arctic cat or Polaris hace direct injection. But in time it will expire and hopefully other two stroke manufacturers will adopt this technology

Yamaha had direct injected two stroke outboards as did Tohatsu and Mercury in the 2000s but Evinrude were the first in the mid 90s although it was a troubled system. Then Brp bought Evinrude and brought out the etec system which was very successful plenty of power and very fuel efficient but then during covid Brp closed Evinrude down. Brp also uses that technology in Skidoos. Ps Mercury had port injected outboards in the mid 90s it was reliable but was not much more economical than the carby motors.

Similar to Suzuki, when they didn't recognize the Inventor of "their" "Full Floater" rear suspension design. Suzuki said that it was invented in house. But, the real Inventor was able to prove, in Court, that he was the Inventor. Suzuki had to pay royalties to the Dude, for units already produced, as well as any future models with his system. That system was lauded as the best rear suspension system decades after they had stopped production and had moved to an under shock linkage system. I would've had a hard time not going after KTM for some money! That would've set him up for life, if he would've proved it in Court.

KTM needs to repair all bikes sold with this and stand behind their bikes. I support KTM because of having 2 strokes but KTM needs to be the leader in making all pro racing fair. A bike that races should have to race its class. Example of it’s a 250 2 or 4 stroke then they race each other. This will bring back the 2 strokes because we know the 4 strokes will not being able to match up to the 2 strokes. KTM needs to get the AMA ruling changed back to the way it was with a 125 & 250 pro class and maybe even 500’s. This is where the sport will become huge. People can’t see these bikes ever so that’s a big issue. They need to get people to the local tracks to see the bikes. We need a ranking system for amateurs in every state just like BMX. To get people to t actually see the bikes up close they better get them riding close to communities so build practice tracks that are a calmer version of a huge race track. This needs to be in all parts of all cities which have middle class communities. This will allow people to drive by and see the bikes out riding. They also need new riders to be given lessons as well as be able to rent used bikes to ride till they can afford a bike. The 2 stroke bike cost cannot exceed $6,000. To do this they may need to speak with leaders such as Elon Musk and others

I love my bike, and was surprised to learn that it is really more of a KTM with "customizations" than a GASGAS. I didn't know the recent history until after I had bought the GASGAS. BTW, WTF is "homolugation?" It is mentioned in my Owner and Shop manuals, but not explained. Oh, and F*CK 4-Strokes!!! I'm moving from a tricked out 2001 Service Honda CR500AF to the GG-EC300...

Ossa trials bike was NOT TBI it was CCI. Crank Case Injection. Go to my build thread on KTM forum titled CrankCase Injection on my 2020 150 EXC

KTM saved the two stroke. for 20 yrs we wanted a EFI two stoke. The Japanese walked away while the Austrians listened to what their customers wanted. For that they have my loyalty. IDK, I look at Japanese bikes inferior to the Austrian steel

2 Stroke EFI is not a new thing, it been for years in small aeroplanes, outboard motors and snowmobiles , even with Direct Injection in some applications.

It's well known that "UNIFLOW" allowed KTM to copy his ideal. Where KTM failed BIG TIME was that KTM used a completely different ECU system which we all know sucked. BTW, TM introduced TBI first. No wait, it was Ford in 1986. 😂

Allowed? They claimed they "found" it and yes, it was there to be found but they never acknowledged it's origins but let the motorcycle world think they developed it. If they had done so they might have benefited from further developments Neil had underway. To busy chasing the $.

@@guidohl9444 That's probably why KTM couldn't patent it because it was already out in the ethos of shareware. And yes, KTM are greedy bastards.

Snowmobiles have been fuel injected and also have had oil injection for literal decades. My 70s sled has oil injection for Peet’s sake
