MY KTM ADVENTURE IS HAVING SOME MAJOR ISSUES. THE ENGINE IS SHUTTING OFF AT SEEMINGLY UNDETERMINED MOMENTS WHILE DRIVING. IT IS A VERY HAIR RAISING EXPERIENCE, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR FIANCE ON THE BACK. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN THERE IS A CHANGE OF SPEED HAPPENING. I.E SHIFTING, CLUTCHING, AND OR BRAKING.

THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO KTM BOTH AT THE DEALER AND THROUGH THE KTM NA REP. I HAVE NO ISSUES WITH THE PEOPLE HANDLING MY BIKE - THEY HAVE BEEN TRYING. I'M SIMPLY NOT WILLING TO DIE OVER IT. THIS ENGINE SHUT DOWN OCCURS AT RANDOM TIMES, BOTH HIGH (FREEWAY) AND LOW SPEEDS.
