2013 450sxf failure

Mine doesnt have those symtoms. It has low comp. I would have changed my ECU, however I had to change to a newer harness to use the GET ECU, and now I cannot plug in my stock ECU. If I am jumping the gun on Piston replacement, OH well, live and learn. Had bar tabs bigger than that quite frequently in my youth:eyebrows:

Highly presice method of several motorhead hillbillies standing around it listening to the dead sound it makes, and how fast it turns over.

If you can please let the rest of us hillbillies know what you do find is the problem. I have 2 450 KTMs one with PR2. Curious of what service interval the bikes need for snow use. Thank you:face-icon-small-coo

I should add that the day the bike gave up was a deep warm day in the cascades. There had been 60" of new that week in the area we were riding. My riding buddy and myself were laughing about how well the bikes would go uphill through the trees in first gear pinned. Right before she quit, I did a longish third gear pull up a roadbed, jumped off of a pillow of snow into the deep stuff and she just quit. Under full load. Blew a couple smoke rings, then drained the battery and two jumppacks to no avail.

10-4, thats the whole point right. Im thinking that 30hrs might be the safe spot for my crowd. My bike rescue was easy, the last one, not soo much!

No. If you can’t get more than 30 hrs then buy a blue bike. That’s ridiculous.

Easy young man?! I’m trying to point you in the right direction where Ktm experts hang out ya fking goof. I’m sure the 8 posters here really can hold a candle to the whole Ktm section on TT. Sorry for not knowing your forum history. I like how my post upset you so much that you had to come back and respond twice 20 mins later. With a lame comeback at that.... what a moron. Try again bud.
