I had this in the shop twice now for 15 days each and they did nada. I took it in for so much heat radiating off the engine/exhaust it heat boiled my leg thru thick jeans ( never touched me just radiating heat). That was immediately after buying it. Now its over a year old and 6500 miles and still under warranty and now the cams are junk like thousands of others with the 690 790 890 901 1290 made by KTM/Husqvarna. Right now they want to do nothing so I have a $19,000 motorcycle that is really junk . I have pics of the junk cams

Bought this brand new. Couple days later was riding it and had thick jeans on and the heat that radiates off this motor boiled my leg thru jeans. I took it in and they had it for 2 weeks. I got it home and it was the sam so I emailed husqvarna and they said to bring it back so I did. It was in another 2 weeks (over 30 days) and the shop said many times we are working with husqvarna to fix it. In the end they did nothing. I even took a pic of the odometer before and after and they never rode it. I started a lemon law case and all out of state companys said I had a case but to call in state. All in state would not return my call. I started with a state mediator and husqvarna said it runs hot because it changed the exhaust and the exhaust is built to get heat away from the motor. So I put the factory exhaust back on it and told the mediator and husqvarna would not respond to them at all!!!
