Sorry to re-hash but something is wrong with the site and it would not let me respond.
My Dealer:
Told me the part (the entire brake caliper) was being shipped from magura and the entire unit was being replaced. The quad will be available on 09/25.
My source:
The small part (300 of them total) were being shipped from KTM or Magura in Europe yesterday or the day before. I cannot clarify if the small part is just going to be replaced at the dealer or the entire brake caliper.
Either way KTM has their #$%^ together and is making it right. Apparently the part breaks or can break at 20 or so hours of operation. It is NOT a safety or performance issue. The part is also known to fail when servicing is done on the rear brake caliper. I am not 100% sure of what exactly it is as I have not seen the part.
The person that gave me the information is in the industry AND very reliable. He called his connection at KTM and verified it.
Again,
let me stress this is not a safety or performance issue it is just a small part that is failing ie not meeting KTMs standards.
And no I dont work for KTM!! LOL
CARNUTVIC will you email me please....
