Hello All,
My 99 KTM 200MXC started making alot of noise in the countershaft area today. Putting the bike on the stand, I externally examined the problem and it seems if you spin the wheel backwards it will lock up every once in a while, if you roll it forward it immediately releases. The locking up is occuring inside of the case. The bike shifts normally through all gears riding up and down the street. There is a rattling noise intermittedly from inside the case. Has anyone ever encountered this problem, I thought it may be something simple, but before I tear the motor apart I would like to hear any opinion or suggestions out there. I am new to owning a KTM and was thinking this may be a common problem. It sounds like something is rattling around, It is definitely coming from the countershaft area, not the crank or head.
Any help is greatly appreciated
Dave
