Hi DukeAus, over at that other forum I commented that I wasn't having any leakage problems but I took the bike for a 300 km ride today and I find that I also have a problem.
Oil mist at the front of the sump and weeping along the left side enough to form droplets of oil, definitely not from the chain, also note oil mist on the right side every couple of inches.
Really really pissed off to be honest, this is a really simple design problem that doesn't happen to bikes these days and hasn't happened since the days of Triumph back in the 60's.
The other thing that pisses me off is these bikes have been on sale for over 3 mths in Europe where this problem is apparently becoming obvious and yet KTM Australia chose to import bikes for sale in Australia knowing they have a oil sump design problem, says a lot about KTM Australia actually.
