#4How dare he..... Humm.... that will stick to my ribs,,,,, now twist it someone ....is he still alive, oh yeah,,, I see some blood now?
look, since the problem comes and goes how the hell do we know if it is fixed or not,,
I would say that ktm needs to figure it out, then fix every last bike in circulation whether it has failed or not!
all's it will take is a real disaster for them in court like a wrongful death suit to correct the problem or maybe........ humm...... a class action.

#5mayby its the way I drive or rev or wot ever but mine catchs me at the worst moment every time.
My wife went to a rally with me in the car ---me on the bike(she was 6/7 months pregnant.)It was 400m mayby from the zone to our guest house and so I did a walking speed lift to the camp site.We got there no hassle but coming back it stalled and Anita being Anita just sat there and I tried to hold us both up.So I left my leg under the bike when it fell over at walking speed -good thing I did cause she stayed in that sitting position with her feet on the foot peg through the whole thing.So I got a bit sore.

#7what I am used to is always apllying a little throtle every time I downshift, thus it does not let the engine brake the rear too much and keeps the revs up. I always use that and thus never realy encounter the stalling issue.

#13When i got my 7.5k service i reported my bike stalled the odd time,they removed a small ball and spring,some non return valve.He said if when you are sitting in traffic it builds up a pressure and this is what causesit,anyway since thats been removed i havent had any problems.

#14sooo, out of 45 machines 16 have/had stalling problems? that's 35%....
10 unresolved (22%) 6 resolved (hopefully, can not be 100% sure as it is an intermittent problem...). Obviously there is an issue there... it's not just one or two people, where KTM could blame it on riders inexperience/technique, shitty fuel etc., ... some more votes would be nice, but 45 is not a small number, considering the # of SD's out there, i think it's enough to make them take it seriously...
