This is unacceptable and has been brought to ktm both at the dealer and through the ktm na rep. I have no issues with the people handling my bike - they have been trying. I'm simply not willing to die over it. This engine shut down occurs at random times, both high (Freeway) and low speeds. The only correlation appears to be when the…
