[QUOTE="ktm_man, post: 25310, member: 19524"] I have owned Kawasaki, Yamaha, Hondas, and KTMs. I am on my fourth KTM and know a lot of guys with KTMs. All four of my KTMs were/are top quality and were very reliable. Have heard about weak ignitions on the 1990 model KTMs but have never heard about tranny problems. I would like to caution you about basing a decision on a single data point and that's why it is a good idea to do what you are doing... check it out and talk to as many folks as you can. A buddy of mine had to replace the tranny on his WR400 and has the same type of story (i.e., don't buy one) but that does not mean that the WR400 is a bad or unreliable bike. None of the bikes are perfect. One thing my dealer told me when I bought my first KTM back in 1995 was "once a KTM owner... always a KTM owner". I though he was full of it, but he has been right so far. Not to say that KTM is for everyone. KTM makes a quality, well-built product that tend to be more on the sturdy side. KTM also has built a lot of loyal customers. The only drawback I see is that some parts cost a little more... but not all parts. My next favorite brand is Honda. I hope this perspective helps. 1994 KTM300 EXC - rode for 4+ years 1998 KTM300 EXC - rode for 2 1/2 years 1995 KTM400 SC - still have (going on 5 yrs) 2001 KTM520 EXC - still have (6 months old) [/QUOTE]
