To make us all feel better

Post by leevtr »

Mate ( of sorts ) has a 2012 KTM RC8. As you all know these aint sub 2 grand, like ours.

Had loads of issues with it, using oil, cutting out, cant get neutral...etc

Then the other day while on a roundabout ( or so I'm told ) he went to drop from 3rd to 2nd, the engine cut out, so he decided to just bump start it, seeing as he was already rolling.

Back wheel just locked up, nearly spat him off. Now he's sitting in the middle of the roundabout, having to get the bike into neutral, and restart the engine. The joys of KTM ownership. He had an Adventure 990 before.....that one knew its own way back to Hyside, the amount of times it went in for problems.

Wont be trading my ' slightly modded ' Storm in for one in a hurry.
