Defect Description:
EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Potential Consequences:
The brake light does not illuminate when the front brake is actuated. The light illuminates when actuating the rear brake, but only with significant pressure on the pedal. I do not know what specific component is causing the issue, but have seen online that it may be related to faulty brake pressure sensor switches. I am willing to provide any parts that are determined to be faulty when they are replaced. Not having fully functional brake lights puts myself and others at risk because other vehicles may not realize when I am braking, which could lead to a collision. The problem was present during my last service of the motorcycle at the local dealer. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others. There were no warning lamps or symptoms other than the light not illuminating. I first noticed the problem about 7 months ago, but am unsure how long it was malfunctioning before I noticed it.

Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
Multiple Issues to report: 1 - Transmission stuck in gear WHILE RIDING! -The transmission or shifting mechanism became unresponsive during riding. The transmission allowed for a downshift from 3rd gear into 2nd, then remained in 2nd gear as the transmission became unresponsive to upshifts/downshifts. -This could have resulted in an accident but it did not. I was able to safely stop the motorcycle. -This issue has occurred twice (1st occurrence was in April 2023, which I did not report. This 2nd occurrence was in March 2024) -The motorcycle is currently being diagnosed by an authorized KTM dealer -No, the vehicle was not further inspected yet (but it is currently at a KTM dealer) -No warning lights or other alerts were present. No visual issues or leaks, etc. *I meticulously maintain my motorcycles. 2 - Metal shavings in the oil (@4,708 miles on 4/6/2024) I have performed my oil change (using OE recommended fluids and following recommended intervals) and noticed small/medium size pieces of metal on the magnets of the oil screens. Metal shavings were also noted in the oil itself. I saved the oil, metal particles, and oil filter. All oil change and engine maintenance has been performed in alignment with manufacturers recommendations since new. The engine has also become "noisy" on cold starts. Mostly a louder valvetrain noise. -Some sort of engine component is failing, this is extremely concerning from a risk perspective. The engine still operates, but KTM has recommended that I discontinue riding the motorcycle until it is inspected by a KTM technician. -This issue could pose extreme risk if an engine failure were to occur while operating, including serious injury or death. -This issue has not yet been confirmed by the dealer (but see photos attached) -No, the vehicle was not further inspected yet (but it is currently at a KTM dealer) -No warning lights or other alerts were present. No visual issues or leaks, etc.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
When I attempt to start the motorcycle after it has not been ridden for several hours, i.e., a "cold start," it will run very rough and barely maintain idle. The engine also makes a lot of noise during the first 30 seconds to one minute after being started, almost as if it is running on one cylinder instead of two. If I attempt to ride the motorcycle before waiting for it to warm up, approximately one or two minutes, it will lurch and has occasionally stalled. The fueling of the engine upon initial start up is very poor. It runs just fine once the engine has warmed up.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
The motorcycle currently has 400 miles on it. Ever since getting the motorcycle home and when first cranking it in the morning (cold start) it will only run on one cylinder (has two cylinders) for a moment and then die. It takes numerous starts and will finally continue running on one cylinder for about 30 to 60 seconds at a very low RPM before the other cylinder starts. After that it runs normal. I've contacted KTM USA to voice my concern with no remedy to the problem. This doesn't give me much confidence when riding. If the motorcycle was too stop running on both cylinders while riding this could be dangerous situation. There have been no warning messages prior to the failure. This problem has been reported by numerous owners. Mine is available for inspection.
