Just sent an enquiry to "ktm-bikes.at" so it's off to Austria....I'll report back because this may be helpful to others (well, depending what they say, probably have to order from Austria if they deal with us after Brexshit..... One thing I've found out sourcing parts for the Monarch service is...

SW- No new distributor which is weird...maybe they're done with bikes in the UK, that link did say something about the USA being a bigger market or something? (Think Winstanleys or Tredz do KTM?)

I reckon the bearings will be fairly standard types ("MAX" as they don't really spin), more concerned over any bushings such as the main swing arm behind the motor. Not had any issues so far probably because from day one I put on an unfashionable "Mudhugger" and shielded the lower part of the...

Hi folks, My KTM Macina Lycan 271 (2017) is still going strong, and I'd been considering "future proofing" it a while back by buying a bushings/bearings kit from KTM for the rear suspension but procrastinated on it...well, just tried in vain to source the parts in the UK through the usual FLI...

So are you still running the haibike, got a kiox head unit that didn't work, then updated the firmware in the battery and the head unit to match it, and now it's gone full Skynet and is restricted permanently? I really need to catch up on tech, got lazy with the ebike advances... I've never had...

Jesus H, been off Pedelecs for a while and certainly not been keeping up with EMBN either, but hadn't realised the extent of the big brother reach into restricting E-bikes via GPS and "smart"(hate that doublespeak term) tech.... Looks like I better keep hold of my Gen3 CX at all costs (and I've...

Interesting thread as my Gen3 CX has started doing this after almost 4 1/2 years of flawless service(One Performancelinebearings rebuild). I've cleaned and silicone greased the terminals/connections from the Purion and from the speed sensor into the motor. I'd already cleaned both batteries and...

Hi folks, On the 5th of March I noticed some play in the cranks of my KTM, so as I have an impending inguinal hernia operation tomorrow (aaaargh!!) I decided to whip out the motor and given my rural location just get it fully overhauled. My bike was out of warranty and had "only" done 2600km...

Lol..... well hopefully he signs up and explains it all further...

Posted up a few maybe more relevant shots. Maybe someone can even identify the make/ model. It's got manual brake cut outs could even be a stuck switch in one of those... Yeah it's a needle in a haystack job. Given him the pedelecs site he will probably be on it later... Thanks for your replies...

Yeah that would be the best thing tbh but i doubt he'd do it. Anyone here on the IOW/Pompey that is knowledgeable that could help out? Long shot I know....
