WHILE RIDING THE MOTORCYCLE TO COMMUTE TO WORK ON CITY STREETS, I COULD SMELL GASOLINE. WHEN STOPPED AT A REDLIGHT, I LOOKED AT THE TOP OF THE TANK AND GAS WAS COMING OUT OF THE TOP OF THE TANK FROM AROUND THE CAP MOUNT/SEAL IS BOLTED TO THE TANK. THIS TANK IS A REPLACEMENT THAT KTM PUT ON ABOUT A YEAR AGO AFTER HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE BEFORE. I KNOW KTM PUT OUT A RECALL ON LATER MODELS, 2015 AND LATER I THINK, THAT WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT I DON'T BELIEVE MY REPLACEMENT TANK FROM KTM IS ONE OF THE CORRECTED TANKS. NOW, I'M ON MY 2ND TANK WITH THE SAME PROBLEM OF GASOLINE COMING FROM THE TOP OF IT AND SPILLING ONTO THE MOTOR. ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.. *TT

THE MOTORCYCLE STALLS VERY OFTEN MOST PROMINENTLY WHEN BRAKING AGGRESSIVELY AND PULLING IN THE CLUTCH TO STOP. THE BIKE WILL ALSO SOMETIMES STALL RANDOMLY WHEN OPERATING AT ENGINE SPEEDS BELOW 3,000 RPM. THE THROTTLE RESPONSE IS ALSO EXTREMELY JERKY BELOW 4,000 RPM LIKE AN ON/OFF SWITCH MAKING THE MOTORCYCLE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO RIDE. I HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH 2008 KTM 690 SMC AND IN NEARLY A DECADE, THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. UNACCEPTABLE.

THE FUEL TANK LEAKS FROM THE GAS CAP. ALSO, THIS IS NOT MY FIRST KTM, WHICH HAS HAD A LEAKING GAS CAP. IT'S MY 3RD ONE. THIS ISSUE IS VERY WELL-DOCUMENTED ON THE FORUMS AS WELL AS ON YOUTUBE. GASOLINE POURS RIGHT OUT OF THE GAS CAP ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS FULL OR WHEN ACCELERATING OR DECELERATING BRISKLY. I AM FAIRLY CERTAIN THIS IS AN ISSUE TO DO WITH THE HIGH ETHANOL CONTENT PRESENT IN ALL U.S. GAS. THE STANDARD FUEL IS E10, WHICH MEANS 90% GASOLINE AND 10% ETHANOL. THERE HAS ALREADY BEEN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST DUCATI IN THE PAST FOR THIS ISSUE ALTHOUGH IT HAS CROPPED WITH OTHER MANUFACTURERS. THE ISSUE ARISES FROM A REACTION WITH ETHANOL IN PLASTIC TANKS. IT IS NOT AN ISSUE WITH

THIS BEING MY 2ND GAS TANK FROM KTM, AFTER EACH TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK WITH FUEL AND CONTINUING UNTIL THE TANK IS LESS THAN HALF FULL, WHILE RIDING THE MOTORCYCLE, FUEL IS FORCED OUT ONTO THE SURFACE OF THE TANK FROM AROUND THE MOUNTING PLATE/SYSTEM WHERE THE GAS CAP ASSEMBLY IS MOUNTED TO THE TOP OF THE TANK, AND THE GAS RUNS DOWN THE TANK AND ON TOP OF THE MOTOR. EVEN WHEN PARKED AND NOT RUNNING, GAS FUMES ARE COMING THROUGH THE MOUNTING SYSTEM. IT APPEARS THAT THE MOUNTING PLATE OF THE TANK IS WARPING BECAUSE OF THE PLASTIC TANK, NOT ALLOWING THE GASKET BETWEEN THE TWO MOUNTING POINTS OF THE TANK AND THE CAP MOUNTING ASSEMBLY TO SEAL PROPERLY. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, I'VE F
