BOUGHT THIS BIKE IN JAN 2013, BIKE RAN FINE FOR ABOUT 10 MONTHS. THEN SLOWLY DEVELOPED A DEAD SPOT IN THE THROTTLE AND THE ENGINE WOULD MISS. THEN THE STALLING ISSUE BECAME APPARENT. WHEN STARTING OFF IN FIRST GEAR YOU GIVE IT THROTTLE AND TRY TO LET THE CLUTCH OUT IT STALLS DEAD. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME MULTIPLE TIMES IN AN INTERSECTION AND HAS ALMOST KILLED ME. EVERY BIKE SOLD SHOULD BE REFUNDED COMPLETELY. I AM STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON THIS BIKE, AND BECAUSE ITS ON A LOAN, IT STILL REQUIRES INSURANCE TO BE ON IT. I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO RIDE IT FOR ALMOST THREE YEARS WITHOUT HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT LOOSING MY LIFE, AS IT WAS MY ONLY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION I HAD NO CHOICE. SO I AM PAYING ALMOST 200 DOLLARS A MONTH FOR A PAPERWEIGHT. BMW AND KTM HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THE ISSUE AND SENT ME A RECALL LETTER IN JULY 2016, IT IS NOW FEB 2017 AND STILL NOTHING. I HAVE EVEN CALLED KTM AND THEY HAVE NO ANSWER. THIS ISN'T THE ONLY DEFECT, THERE WAS MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF DUST IN MY AIR BOX. THE AIR BOX ISN'T COMPLETELY SEALED AND DOESN'T LET CLEAN AIR INTO THE ENGINE. THIS WILL RUIN AN ENGINE. BMW OR KTM, STEP UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS TERRIBLE MOTORCYCLE. <REFUND>
