In defense of the KTM, a KTM will only work for it's own rider. That sounds funny, but you absolutely must have the sag set correctly, and I mean dead on, or else the bike won't turn. Each person is a different weight, so unless your riding buddy that has a KTM that works for him weighs exactly what you do, wears the same gear, carries the same amount of tools, and fills his drink system exactly the same, you will not like his KTM.
