Hi Arminhammer, yes you may be correct, I'm not sure if the KTM system is closed loop.

Of course, if there's a lambda sensor monitoring the exhaust gases and the system adjusts the fuel/air mixture according to this feedback, then that would make it a Closed Loop system.

It's a lovely looking engine, I like the way the fuel is injected straight into the transfer ports.

Also no premix fuel to make up as it has a 700cc oil tank on board and injection of the 2 stroke oil is controlled separately.

I thought they would be expensive bikes but they seem to be competitively priced.

In my opinion this is a massive leap forward for 2 strokes...come on Gas Gas don't get left behind, let's see a fuel injected stroker soon!

Here's an article on the new KTM engine...
