KTM EXC TPI Problems: Engine Blow Up, Running Backwards & More

  • These are the problems I had, I'm not saying that ktm tpi is bad motorcycle, far from it. Each motorcycle has its own advantages and disadvantages, including the KTM TPI, I honestly prefer the latest model 2017 KTM with a carburator. It's not a problem for me to adjustthe carburetor for temperature and altitude height, because I don't often change the locations where I ride anyway, and I don't have big mountains nearby to ride on. So the carburetor is perfect for me. Certainly TPI has an advantage who often changes the place where he drives. I had a couple of bad experiences, and I was most disappointed because I didn't get good help from KTM and I have to solve all my problems myself. In this video you can see where my KTM TPI goes into reverse, where my engine broke, where it loses power and works strange

    I really like the reverse on mine especially when I'm going down a trail and it ends I can backup without doing a pivot turn Really comes in handy for me

    I had a 2020 Husqvarna TE150i and it constantly was blowing spark plugs and running weird - sold it and bought a carb TM Racing EN300ES 2 stroke, and haven't looked back...then bought a Honda CRF450R that I've built into a CRF450RX and both of these bikes have been my favorite to date out of owning Yamaha, Suzuki, and Husqvarna beforehand...quality, feel, and fun factor supercede all other machines I've owned and tried for my riding style.

    I believe every word you said and I started Racing KTM’s in 1990 and the bike would bust a piston about every six weeks but KTM was still a small company, so they were pretty good about helping me out with some parts.But I have a KTM 790 and it is a piece of junk .At 2000 miles the oil jet that lubricates the clutch stopped up and destroyed the clutch ( they put to much Loctite on the oil jet bolt and it stopped up the jet) and at 3400 miles ( which is what mileage I have on the bike right now) I had to put new cams in the bike and it cost me $1800 and KTM would not help me at all, even though I’ve had 30 KTM’s they could care less The bike set at the dealership for 6 months waiting on a intake cam. (/From July 2022 till January 2023) The Internet is full of other 790 owners with the same problem. The difference is they warranty their bikes and although mine had 3400 miles on it, they would not help me one bit even though I have been a customer since the year, 1990 and have owned 30 KTM motorcycles. So knowing from experience, I believe everything you said, and I believe KTM did nothing to help just like they did me because KTM is a big company now and they don’t care.

    First of all. U can ride in snow. It’s beautiful and fun. Second, Some have problems, some don’t. But It’s very strange. I had a 300 2018 and it was totally fine. We all ride tpi’s. The tpi system is better in every way. It’s the future. If ktm doesn’t do that, there would be no two stroke anymore. The thing with the cylinderhead is a marketing failure. It happens often in company’s, because they want to safe money in every way, but it’s not good to ruin the quality. Also the guarantee that ktm gives u is 2 years, if it’s street legal. Of course it’s stupid and everyone would be pissed, if their bike broke.. but the law lets them do it. Overall it’s very good that you show your opinion and show their mistake’s so they can improve👌🏼

    I've had 6 KTMs over the past 4 years. All have been great. Although, all but 1 are 4-stroke. Love their products. But the way they've treated you is crap. I've heard good and bad experiences with KTM corporate and warranty coverage. Most of the time the owner was able to apply enough pressure on the dealer to get things fixed for free or at a great discount. I hope KTM doesn't just choose ignore their customers in small markets like your country.

    Would you rather buy a new Bike, knowing they have these issues, or just stick with a old one ? I onw myself a 2012 exc 250 with around 450h and it just runs fine. Some of my friends have a Brand new GasGas, or 2019 Ktm exc 300. The only thing that annoys me sometimes is that i only have a Kicksart and you need Premix.

    Great video with some interesting thoughts, keep them coming, However, you missed the obvious most common problem, the CCP sensor which is responsible for a lot of the bogging and poor running on the TPI, I'm on my 5th sensor in 2.5 years !!
    Next, I'm sick of hearing this crap about oil pumps, and the narrative that their going to fail at some point...B.S, oil pumps have been around on 2T's in scooters, snowmobiles etc, since the 50's, the failure rate with oils pumps is so negligible, its not worth even talking about !!. If you want a bike with NO technology, go buy a 70's YZ 250 and see if you like that ?? ..OH BTW I used to race one and they were notoriously unreliable !! good luck
