Just saw on the local news that KTM is recalling all its atv's because of a rear brake caliper failure.

This is true. I'm not quite sure of the actual details of this, but most of the 08's are recalled, and I'm not sure on the 09's. I just got a notice from KTM in the mail but havn't opened the envelope yet.

Yes 09s if you got a letter its RECALLED New front return spring in the rear new caliper parts and brake stay

They don't replace the calipers in the recall.

They told me they did? Well I guess if they didn't they will now ha ha.

Does anyone know who I can talk to about geting support for next year.

Posted by: Big Red Menace

Your local dealer is the place to start. Next years programs should be out soon, but the rumor is that it's going to be more dealer based than last yr where you could send in your resume. It also helps tons to say that you actually want to be part of the ktm thing and not just looking for a deal. Ktm is very aware that nearly everyone else is offering next to no support, and there's plenty of people with their hand out.

Starting a new thread might be more helpful too than bringing up an old one.
