I do also agree; if it would be that bad, it would be inaceptable! But as I already said before; in my opinion it's definitely not that bad! I own my 801 since mid 24; not every day (as I don't use the bike for commuting), but nevertheless I rode the bike also very often with relatively low...

In my opinion it's definitely not that bad!! As I said before: The engine simply needs some revs. Yes, some AFR optimization might help a bit at low speed and low revs; but it will not change the main characteristic of the engine. If you are looking for a bike that is primarily suitable for some...

"The lightweight flywheel of the KTM 790 Duke's parallel-twin engine is a key feature of its sporty character. It ensures extremely direct throttle response, aggressive acceleration, and high revving capability. As a result, the motorcycle is eager to respond to the throttle and can be brought...

...or alternatively simply ride faster... 😁 But seriously, I still can't get the "problem" some have with stalling and a relatively rough running engine at quite low revs. Yes, it's a two-cylinder, but the engine nevertheless simply "needs" some revs to run fine; that's its characteristic; and...

I have no personal experience with the brake-problem and also don't know how the machining of the contact surfaces was carried out. I got the information from two KTM forums when I was researching for the 320mm brake discs.

The problem exists on various KTM models (with alloy wheels and also with spoked wheels), all equipped with Galfer brake discs. Several people have repeatedly received new Galfer brake discs, only to have them warp again. The mounting surfaces of the rims were also machined flat on several...

Since the brake discs are floating, a minimal tolerance shouldn't really be relevant at all. I suspect that the material of many Galfer brake discs is simply faulty/unsuitable and warps due to the heat during braking.

Damn, this is beyond disappointing! I do really hope they'll get it fixed! The Brembo discs are working absolutely fine.

Don't know if it helps, but I've read in a KTM forum that even a slightly "faulty" battery (that still starts the engine and seems to retain its capacity) can cause all kind of electrical/electronic problems such as ABS errors, etc.

Damn, that's quite a lot of trouble with the bike! How many kilometers has it run?

Mine is also slightly offset (second pic). The dealer also wanted to replace it under warranty; but the new gas tank he received from KTM/Husqvarna was even worse...

But why a decat at all? Why not just stick with a less than stock restrictive slip-on?

Decat and Ixil without db-killer... holy sh...

Unfortunately it's a common issue.

I've removed the rear pegs not because of the exhaust, but as I don't ride the 801 with a pillion and of course as it looks much "cleaner". I've not tested it, but from what I've read, about all exhausts also fit with the rear pegs in place. As I don't use the bike for commuting through town but...

Hi Imandelin, I've not tested the long 801 Remus. I do like the quite special design of the hydromformed NXT-Remus, but the 801 version is too long for my liking. The Duke 890 version is shorter; and fits the 801 in my opinion very nicely. The stock brushed stainless steel Svartpilen exhaust ist...

Sometimes yes indeed... 😁;)

According to the pics, I would assume the Givi will not fit the 801.

Thanks!
