Yo all riders
I had a issue with my KTM it wouldn't perform on low revs (1000-2500 rev/p) I took it to a mac who said the sparkplug wasn't getting enough power and he repaired. It still has a splutter afterwards and it got worse. On a ride I popped into Yamaha George and asked for help as I was on my way to Baviaans. All I can say is THANK YOU EMIEL (the mac) and HENRI to owner they immediately went through what could be wrong and we identified it can only be needle and seat. I tracked spares down in JHB (Rad Cycles) and after some negotiation, great service from Henri my bike was sorted 1 day or so later. It all makes sense now the fuel usage went from 14km/l to 22km/l.
I had a great ride.
Check out how warn it was. If you ever have the same problem that is all it can be. Too much fuel gets thrown on sparkplug it suffers and underperforms
