Fuel pump - a relatively low tech component but the nemesis of the 690 Ktm.
Brand new 690 with 3000km stops working - fuel pump fubar.
Surely the the development of a reliable fuel pump can not be that hard to do.
My 1150gs has done 235000 km on it's original pump for example.
What does one blame for a fuel pump that packs up at 3000km - surely not lack of maintenance.
I for one when looking for a lightweight 650 class bike decided against the Husky and Ktm for exactly above reason - the problem being that if you are in the market for a new bike those are the only choices out there.
