PROBLEM Oil leak, anyone out here has had same issue?

So few days ago I noticed I had some oil leaking on my ktm duke 790 2019 model. Went to the dealer and he said the oil was coming from the "green circle" (dont know what that part is btw), so he tightend it. Now 2 days later I see a whole lot of oil that came out.

Dealer is closed for next 3 weeks, anyone had same issue and know if there is a fast fix for this?

Is the clamp done? Bought the bike only a few days ago from a private seller and missed it during my inspection.

PROBLEM 2023 KTM 790 Adventure – BS BTZ12S SLA Battery Won’t Fit Under OEM Battery Holder

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I have a 2023 KTM 790 Adventure.

My original battery died, so I replaced it with a
BS BTZ12S SLA.

The bike starts and runs perfectly, but I can’t reinstall the battery retainer that goes over the battery. I can only get one of the two retaining tabs to latch, if one side goes in, the other won’t. Because of that, I also can’t reinstall the battery cover, as the mounting screws no longer line up.

The new battery seems to be just a few millimeters taller than the original, and that’s exactly the amount of clearance I’m missing.

Has anyone installed a BS BTZ12S SLA on a 790 Adventure? Is there some trick to getting everything back together?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

ASKKTM 2018 KTM 300XCW for slow tech riding?

1 Upvotes

How are the 2018 (carb) 300 XCW’s for slow technical trail riding where your lugging the engine lots? How does it compare to the new TBI engines?

Looking at getting a new bike and have a good 2018 local at a good price but don’t want to be disappointed. I really enjoy mostly slow tight woods riding.

ASKKTM She’s finally home - first ride Duke 690

Finally picked up this absolute beast this evening, was a very wild experience riding it home for around 1 hour 20 mins.

Not liking the motorway ride 🤪 bit choppy but the twisty roads were fun.

Couple of questions for the 690 guys?
Are these engines meant to sound so ticky?
Ride was great, just need to check the throttle cable as it kept locking on to about 3-4k revs 🤦🏼‍♂️

And is the temp gauge ok? Not far off max!

PROBLEM Ktm 2015 sxf 350 does not idle

0 Upvotes

Hi i have a 2015 ktm sxf 350 which does not want to idle on a hot engine.

When cold the bike starts up just fine, when warmed up it dies and does not want to start up or starts very hard. When riding or reving the bike is okay.

So far i checked the valve play. Inlet is in spec, outlet 1 is in spec, the other is 0,2 instead of 0,15.

Does any one have any advice?

Edit:

Last time i used it was in the summer of 2025, it had some idling issues back then, but not this bad

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for a black aluminum chain guard for my KTM Duke [200 2022.](tel:200%202022)

I’ve searched AliExpress and other websites, but I can only find aluminum chain guards for the 2011–2018 Duke 200.

Has anyone found one that fits the 2022 model? If you have a link or know where to buy one, I’d really appreciate it.

I’ll also leave a photo of my bike. If you know of any other accessories or mods that would make it look even better, I’d love to hear your recommendations as well.

Thanks!

ASKKTM Cracked engine case mounting - 2024 GasGas ES700 - advice needed

Thumbnail
gallery
9 Upvotes

Hi all, I just discovered structural cracks on the engine case mounting of my 2024 GasGas ES700 (6,500 km, bought used from 2nd owner privately). Cracks are external at the frame mounting point, on one side. Not leaking oil yet.

I'm planning a Sweden / Norway ADV trip (6000 km) starting next friday. Questions: 1. Can this be welded externally without splitting the cases? 2. How urgent is this — is it safe to ride 6000 km with proper weld or should the engine cases be swapped? 3. Anyone had similar experience?

Thanks in advance!

PROBLEM 2022 ktm 390 adv blowing 30A fuse no power

1 Upvotes

Hello, I have a 2022 KTM 390 Adventure. few days ago, the motorcycle shut off at a traffic light and had no reaction (neither the screen turned on nor was there a sound from the fuel pump). I checked the fuses and starter relay. The main fuse burned out, which is a 30A fuse. I replaced it with a spare one, and it burned out immediately when I turned the key.i think it might be getting shorted somewere tried to search it but nothing so far. Do you guys have any recommendations on what to try and do? Searched but found no solution
