Motor is out again, this time no compression so digging in to find out why.
I was wondering why you didn't pull it apart in the frame but after looking, I would have done the same thing if the bike was on the stand and more so minus the wheelsMotor is out again, this time no compression so digging in to find out why.
I have the same gen so I'm curious what you find. How many hours on it?

My mechanic said to pull the motor so they didn't have to. It was as good a time as any to swap tires too. I don'y know how many hours but the odo only has 1500 km's on it and the time it spent without the odo wouldn't have been much more either. So not many miles at all on this motor.

Give me all your eggs and bacon
That sucks man.
I'm on my 4th KTM and I've not had any major issues that I haven't caused myself. Their QA does need to get better though. Seeing more and more of this all the time.

Austria seems to have little to do with this bike. Chinese motor, assembled in India.
The 17 miles it lasted were pretty good
Hope it gets sorted properly.

Near Two Wheels only in Suches GA. Beautiful but hot day
One of three KTMs is leaving the house 😥
Sold the ’99 660 Rallye to a French collector and transport is at next week. I’ve had it for five years now, its a blast to ride but I just don’t dare to use it anymore the way its designed. Im planning to recover it with something a bit different but defenetly rally-oriented.

Just realized I've never posted my KTM in this thread.
I have a 2007 640 Adventure....owned it since 2008! 25K miles on it and still going strong!
A few scenes from over the years...
How to make a 640 look small....put me on it!

Looks Like Colorado.(?) fun timesMines defective.
I miss the outright power and estart of my 520, but the 300 handles better, doesn't overheat on long slow trails and is just overall easier to ride. It's punchy with the Gnarly pipe, but an RFS will walk away every time. You get off the RFS when you're tired and hop on the 300 and suddenly you don't feel tired anymore and can keep going. So she was the keeper. Ground clearance is crazy on these.
