Sounds like you boys had some fun anyway! It’s bad that KTM don’t sort the issue for you for a bike that can only be just over a year old. If it still rattled after the original was replaced they should do something about it as they is a technical bulletin out for the problem.

Trouble is the dealers are greasy little toads.

PS – Where do you live? It’s beautiful and sunny here in Nelson Bay, I’ve been mowing the lawn

cafe racer tensioner fitted nicely stoped the rattles makes you wonder why the factory can not get something so simple right. bike seems a bit more responsive of the bottem also

That’s goo news that it’s sorted with the added bonus of some bottom end too. Your right though, shame KTM can’t address the issue.

the cam chain tensioner made the bike start a lot better the decompreser works a lot better .found that you can stall it under brakes in 2nd gear let your foot of the brake and it roll starts just like a 125 two stroke.bike allso seems to be in a better state of tune

I heard good things about them from others. I maye look into it in due course as a mod for my bike
