Ive got the ktm duke 125. It is 3 months old and it has had to be recovered 2 times now and in total 3 visits to the garage for this issue

I have lost the abs light it flashes up service not reset. I have had its service. Low battery keeps showing.. The main issue currently i will be riding and the bike starts bogging the rev counter dissapears and the bike cuts out.

I got the bike back from the garage yesterday. Just before garage closed. the garage said was down to HD lead not being completely tight with the spark plug and they had sorted the issue. I rode the bike 3/4 mins got on to a A road as i reached 50MPH the bike bogged and cut out. I got them to recover the bike straight away.

Can anyone help if they have experianced this?.

Sounds like a good case of requesting a full refund because 'not fit for purpose', spending a quarter of that on an ok bike and saving the rest up for something good Smile.

All the fun of a sale of goods act dispute with a dealer, what a joyous task the OP has to look forward to with that!

Take it back to the dealer. Tell them all what is happening. Next fix is the last and money back. They will argue, you will give in, they will fix it............ eventually. As long as you aren't a dick to them, they should be ok with you. I now you are the punter and they should be serving you, but it is a two way relationship. Try to keep it tha way ad next time try somewhere else.
