Engine will just suddenly off/die while you're riding, among other things.

Engine stalling seem like a frequent issue with ktm
Even their newest 390 engine have frequent stalling issue. High gear, low speed, you pull the clutch it dies.

Wtf
Quite a lot are reporting this in the FB groups

I saw it myself, this t-shirt wearing duke rider doing his thing, and when he was passing me, engine died... and while the bike was still rolling, he tried in vain to start it until it slows to a stop.

I know a few guys riding KTM.
Body parts breaking off when it is not supposed to... Leaking, air filter box bocor, etc.

also, water leaking into speedometer is not China bike thing, started with KTM back then.

though I've seen some really beat up Duke that never been down. tougher than most jap bikes.
