Maintenance experiences with the Vitpilen 701
I have had a Vit 701 for 2.5 years now and I always thought I would keep it forever. But this bike has so many issues imo for a 2018 model. I got it used for 6k and have put 4k into services and repairs in those 2.5 years.
Now I'm considering getting rid of it, because I can't really and also don't want to afford it and it sucks the fun out of the bike for me.
I always got the service done at the KTM dealership because I wanted to keep it serviced properly and due to my living situation can't do anything myself. That might have been a mistake.
Things that I had to get done:
- master brake cylinder
- clutch slave cylinder (free)
- fork seals already twice, I think they fucked something up after the first job, because it started leaking again a year later
- 15k and 20k service which were costly
Would appreciate to hear what others think about this and if the amount of issues is normal.
