find out from manic what happened to his frame crack story - I would insist KTM fixes! 
I'm beginning to believe that KTM sold me a bike that isnt suitable for the purpose. Hence I may be able to claim via the consumer protection act.
After the airbox fuckup and suspension issues I have had plus this I dont know if I want the bike back, especially when I bought it to travel through africa. I cant trust it.
Dont get me wrong its one of the best all round bikes on the planet IMHO but its just not the right bike for me.
How is this KTM's fault? Surely a buyer should do his own research before buying?
KTM advertising has pictures of the bike being ridden hard in a desert somewhere, there are pics of the bike being jumped and being drifted around with "luggage" on the bike. I saw those pics and said, yes I ride like that often they advertise the bike using those images so the bike must have been built for that. Thus leading me to believe that the 1190R was built with the purpose of being ridden off the beaten path at speed as shown in those pictures.
After having said that, the airbox issues left me with a very bad taste in my mouth with denials of the problem left right and centre. For a bike obviously designed to be ridden off paved roads or even just in africa this is unacceptable. The suspension is so easily bottomed out that I had decent damage from riding a normal dirt road and hitting a bit of a bump, where my 1200GSA was fine, they did not do a warranty claim. The front rim bent and went flat instantly when I hit a rock the size of a tennis ball at about 60-70km/h, nearly causing a crash while I was riding rather slowly and carefully on a road I ride every day.
There have been numerous little things that broke while just riding normally on washboard gravel roads, yet this is an adventure bike for the more off road rider.
When I bought the bike I told the salesman what I plan on using the bike for, and how I tend to ride over what terrain. He was adamant that the bike is perfect for what I want to do with it. After this I asked them to fit the unifilter, he once again was adamant that the airbox issues were solved on the 2014 models so he convinced me not to go that route. At 10k km when the bike wouldnt run anymore due to dust bypassing the airfilter and fucking up the motor. They told me it was just a valve clearance issue and when I mentioned I would prefer a new motor for peace of mind I was looked at as though I was crazy.
I cant trust this bike in africa like my original plan was for the bike.
