(Part Two) KTM Wanted £1000 to fix this £3.30 problem 🤣 

I did not learn a little, I was schooled. Thank you for this video!

@@faniesmith KTM shit bikes not built to a higher standard as to the Japanese bikes buy an older bike and spend more time having fun

or a simple fuel filter to not crack , true though great diag of a know problem , Turkish quality fuel filters crack at low hrs too.

The kid didn't waffle, he got right to the point.

LOL and you know which socket always goes to the nineth dimension, that is why the walk back to the toolbox would have been fruitless.

I completely agree with you 100%, That's solid advice 👌 👍

Thanks for the kind words 🙏

Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it 👍

I don’t understand why there wasn’t any fuel leaks or smell?

@@edsyphan3425 Thanks for observation. As with the KTM the fuel leakage from the split filter was internal in the tank. The only indication was low fuel pressure and loss of performance. The BMW KJetronic had a few interesting tricks. The fuel pressure regulator was on the injector rail and modulated by manifold pressure, with some skull duggery you could up the fuel pressure in the rail and get a richer mixture and more performance. The cold start enrichment (about 10% extra fuel) was controlled by a coolant temp sensor separate from the ECU temp sensor, the cold start enrichment modified the map as a part of the closed loop cycle until the coolant temp sensors cut the enrichment and open cycled the map. BUT If you were fully warmed up with the engine running and pressed the starter button the ECU denied the starter solenoid power but layed the cold start enrichment over the map so you got a rich power mixture out of it. Bosch did some sneaky things and told very few people.

@@pebrede ok, didn’t notice it being the internal type. Seems a lot better than the near catastrophe I had on a 2009 BMW RT, the fittings were plastic and I had fuel dripping down on my header pipe.

@@edsyphan3425 Unfortunately price and labour rule design now with the HP, style and utility being the other lesser factors. I’ll stick with points, push rods, and kick starting for the moment . Take care and be observant.

Awesome, that makes me happy 👍

Awesome, thank you!

Thanks Mate 👍

​@@SuperbikeSurgeryTV Just found ur ch, njoyd the find on the 690, gr8 reminders on the fault finding, thanks. And, wots a socket?😂😂😂 Like and Subscribed, done.👍👏

You and me both!

Welcome!

It may have been slightly, but the tank doesn't have any EVAP control and just vents to the atmosphere, so the extra bit of pressure wouldn't have caused a problem.

Thanks Mate, great info 👍 As I always say "every day is a school day"

@@SuperbikeSurgeryTV funny where you give it a fist full up to the junction followed by, my God that front tyres flat as you're trying to haul it up to a stop 😂 Love the KTM 690 Duke. It's a really little toy that can easily get you into trouble. Your child is mental 🤣😂

😂 I think I'd get myself into a lot of trouble owing one of them!

Ironically had a Mahle fuel filter split on a VW bus recently. Not saying there is a problem with them across the board, just that maybe when it comes to fuel injection they probably hold up less well than say fitted to a carbureted engine?
