Damnit, I got hit w/the clutch lock issue.
Today riding along I saw the oil light come on, my clutch locked completely to where I couldn't pull the lever in at all. I was able to drop it down to 3rd gear to slide to a stop and not go down.
After stopping I checked for leaks, and there was NO OIL LOST. The dipstick did have bubbles on it (still have to research that), but there was oil, and the bubbles went away after about 20 minutes.
On the road, tried bleeding both the lever and where the clutch line goes (slave?) with no luck.
I was able to get it to neutral and had a buddy come and pick me up.
I will try to see if KTM will cover this issue (out of warranty) only ave 4K miles on it. I also had both forks leaking oil when I bought it used (2700 miles), which they did replace free of charge.
More to come, but I hope it is nothing seriously engine related and maybe only clutch related.
Having the bike for only 4 months and now 2 major issues does not leave me feeling all warm and tingly at this point in time.
Anyone else have this issue and can shed some light on it and what the possible issues, fixes, and cost were?
TIA.
