anyone got a 250 or 350 fuel injection KTM

hi all

have any of you got a 250 or 350 four stroke fuel injection KTM bike, i was thinking of treating myself to one after riding 250 2 strokes for the past 4 years i thought it might be nice for a change.

Anywy i spoke to a KTM dealer who to be honest has now changed my mind as he told me they are having loads of trouble with these bikes so was putting the feelers out as whether to buy one now or wait 12 months and see what problems people are having with them, he told me people are having to have new injectors at around £120 and the bikes are just stopping if they get water in the injection system also the bikes have had to go into the KTM dealers to be plugged into a diagnosics kit and some have needed new throttle bodies etc etc

can anyone shed any light on this for me

cheers shawn

If it was me and a dealer told me that i,d thank them and run a mile

scary

The 350 may well be but ive heard of no reported problems!

hi please see this link [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

also ady smith off road schools has both the 250 and 350 xcf with fuel injection also most of the 250 and 350 sxf motocross bikes from 2011 are fuel injected there are plenty out there

ummmm interesting i got that info off the official KTM website, the only possible answer is that there are different versions ie from different countries coming into the the uk from maybe USA or SA!

THe official UK bike (enduro that is is still on carberation for sure!)

Anyway back to original question i cant imagine KTM launching them without ironing out any clitches first.....go for it bud!
