    Another KTM failure?! I'm starting to wonder if I made a bad decision... Oh, no, I got a reliable 2 stroke model

    Dude, that sucks. Did it damage the jug?

    i think that was a husky failure not ktm .... food for thought we have seen a few motor failures this season in our stable and it was possibly caused by fuel detination has anyone had any motor issues running vp 93 in a mostly stock motor?? i know my rmz-450 has ran mint all season and so has the supersport sv......

    Yup...that was a Husky 510. Joel was due for and planning a rebuild after the last TTD and only made it through half of the 2nd day.

    I ran 2 days of pump 93 before I switched to VP and my KTM seems to be running great (better) on the VP.

    Yup, cracked piston!

    As Ox said it was caught before it did any more damage.

    Bike is a Husky 510. As Puppet mentioned I was fully expecting a motor rebuild before this next race weekend. The motor has around 55 to 60 hours on it, with alot of it being racing/track day abuse so I dont think it did too poorly. Hopefully all the parts show up on time and the motor is back together so I can come up there and race with you boys this weekend. Even if they dont show up and I cant race you will probably see me anyhow.

    Beet, what the heck are you going to do with a bunch of Motard parts???? The TL is still alive and running well (I think, I haven't ridden it in a long time)

    Evil_weasel, back off man the body isn't even cold and you're scavenging for vital organs....... man show a little compasion will ya! (though I must say, that motor in a lightweight roadracing chassis would probably be really fun for you guys that aren't quite so weight challenged!)

    Joel

    Oh yeah, HIGHSIDER, you dont see anything because you and your DRZ are so far behind the rest of us motards you would need the Hubble to see what I was trying to show you......
