There's your problem right there!

You know I have thrown my KTM into trees, on rocks, into creeks, & down Colorado rockslides unmercifully for 165 hours & the only thing I have needed to do to it is oil, brakes, tires & a chain.

Still has the factory plastics & top end.... Just sayin

DAMN son, maybe if you had a Yamaha you could stay on that thing....

Jacob was just reminding me he wants yours.
Told him to get a job.

So yeah, there is a little controversy with them, just google KTM TPI problems. Some of the issues sound legit but I suspect some of it is also Haters just being haters.

I finally got the suspension done last fall and I am a LOT happier with it. Jacob should ride it again and I would be curious of what he thinks of it now. Hopefully with that job he still finds some time to hang out with the old guys this summer.

Calling dibbs on your bike if you find the need to check out one of those carb-less bikes.

Ha Ha! I'll keep my 18XC-W with the Lectron thank you very much!

Got a lengthy email from a owner who saw my post. He said it was related to the ECU and crappy mapping. By the time he got it right, he ended up spending more than just a jet kit! I am sure they are great when set up correctly, but I'll stay with a Lectron carb, SX ignition and a Hi-Comp head! That and not all of the electronics that come with a TPI. I can McGyver my shit out of the woods, but when TPI or EFI goes south, well have a nice hike!

I have a Lectron for sale, if you want another one.
