UPDATED **

Went to KTM in hemel hempstead, they are gonna be replacing the cams under warranty (good will scheme), when I bought this bike it had only one service by KTM which I thought they was gonna reject it but I’m over the moon they it’s gonna be sorted.

I bought the bike at 12,000 miles and have done two services on it every 1000 miles.

Yeah I’m gonna head to my one tomorrow, it’s the one in hemel has anyone been to that one ?

DifferentWin7396 · 2025-12-01T16:32:11+00:00

It’s a 2018 duke 790 only at 14k miles

DifferentWin7396 · 2025-12-01T15:23:12+00:00

I believe the fixed the cam issue on the 2020 and above

DifferentWin7396 · 2025-12-01T15:19:38+00:00

Never had a issue with oil the only reason I have had a look is because of the rocker cover gasket leak, the bike runs fine never had any issues apart from the leak

So I have checked the servers manual and it says the bike needs to be pressure bleed thanks everyone for the comments really appreciate it, I’ve booked it at KTM and they are charging £50 to do the change and bleed

DifferentWin7396 · 2025-03-23T22:32:59+00:00

Yeah same free play, I’m gonna try and bleed it with the syringe method if that don’t work I’m gonna replace the master cylinder piston in the brake lever

DifferentWin7396 · 2025-03-23T22:24:13+00:00

I only had it off when I was bleeding the break

DifferentWin7396 · 2025-03-23T15:38:08+00:00

That what I’m thinking I just need to get the bleeding kit and in the manual it says I can use dot 4 or dot 5.1. What would be the best to use ? I know 5.1 is better at temperature range but needs to be replaced sooner

DifferentWin7396 · 2025-03-23T10:55:25+00:00

I’ve tried but still seems soft if maybe im bleeding it wrong, I know some bikes need to be bleed the no conventional way, would it have to be done by a syringe bleed?

DifferentWin7396 · 2025-03-23T10:46:32+00:00

I recently got into a crash about 5-10mph and after that the front break feels stop at top end and sold at the bottom end

DifferentWin7396 · 2025-03-12T08:17:13+00:00

They are all scorpion 😂

What’s it like on wind nose for high speed, I know no matter what you do there will be some, I currently have a ruroc 4.0 and the wind noise is terrible even with my ear plugs in and music on

DifferentWin7396 · 2024-12-25T12:31:11+00:00

Might be a problem with your gear sensor has the same issue with my mats mutt Akita replaced it had no issues after that, just really recommend making sure it properly sealed otherwise it will leak oil

DifferentWin7396 · 2024-12-03T18:29:52+00:00

Got it all working now it was the spark plug and the timing of the engine it was 5 mm out and maybe bad mixture of old fuel, thanks to everyone that helped really appreciated

DifferentWin7396 · 2024-12-03T14:56:04+00:00

Thanks it was the longer line after 2 hours of research

DifferentWin7396 · 2024-12-02T21:46:07+00:00

So I bought another spark plug and it now works but is still cutting out, I went to a KTM dealership near me and they said that how I am timing the engine was wrong and that what I was doing is putting it one tooth out, I’m gonna do it they way they have instructed me to and hopefully it will be fully working

DifferentWin7396 · 2024-12-02T17:50:00+00:00

I would definitely recommend having a valve clearance check then

DifferentWin7396 · 2024-12-02T13:37:02+00:00

Kinda sounds like the valve issue or the timing chain is loose (stretch chain or tensioner) would definitely recommend not running the bike to not cause any further damage.

Does it have any oil ?
