I've got 20 hours on my new '02 520SX and am very happy with it, even after coming off Hondas. A few things have surfaced that are are a little annoying; some help from you experienced KTM owners would be appreciated:
1. The return throttle cable frayed at the pulley.
2. Rear sprocket bolts come loose every ride, even with Loctite Blue.
3. Rear spokes break.
4. Sides of seat cover turned milky color (moisture under cover?)
5. Front and rear brakes squeal (fronts discussed elsewhere in this forum, but I had to mention it).
6. Rear brake master cylinder seal failed. Hopefully a fluke, dealer covered under warranty, but is this going to be a recurring problem?
7. Airbox fasteners come loose and fall out (band-aid fix is to cover the holes with duct tape).
Any suggestions? The bike is well worth these little things, but nevertheless, I'd like to fix them if possible.
