Little KTM

[Mick_J]

There is a young lad living across from me who bought a little KTM 125 a couple of months ago.  Within four days the dash had filled with water and failed so he took it back and was told he would have to wait for 10 days before it could be booked in, after some arguing with the management they replaced the bike with a new one.  Last week he was going to visit a friend when the dash switched itself off, bike ran but he had nothing on the dash, no lights, speed or anything.  Took it back to the dealer who said they would look into it but as it was over 30 days old they would not replace it but fix it, a week later he is still without his bike and they will not give him a run-around as he is still on a provisional license.  I can understand why youngsters are put off riding when they have to take so many tests (5 in all to get a full unrestricted bike license), be a certain age for certain size bikes and then get treated badly when there is a problem.

Thailand seems to be up there with the Japs on several vehicles.
Thai Triumphs seem fine. Their Toyota's are good.

India and China are still a bit lacking, I'd personally be holding off buying Indian built KTM's and Harley's.


I know it's not the poor lads fault.
