Need a good KTM bike mechanic.

[floatn turd]

My 'new to me' damn bike keep shutting off on the road. Then after it sits for 10 min's or so, it fires back up. I think the engine is overheating.
Its a long shot, but does anyone know a good KTM guy or just a guy that knows his shit in the Inland Empire area??

Thanks

I believe I saw that bike on CL, for pretty cheap... Did you buy it in TO?

I have a 2009 Husaberg FE450 that I've have for a couple of years.. I've learned quite a bit from the Husaberg owners site,http://www.husaberg.org

They do overheat from time to time, but I don't think that is your problem. A lot, and I mean A LOT of the 70 degree Husabergs are prone to faulty fuel pumps.. From the sounds of it, I think you might have a clogged or faulty fuel pump.. The pumps are deep in the fuel tank, and to replace it requires you to remove the seat,tank,subframe,battery etc... not fun but I can be fixed.. Once fixed you'll be good to go... Check out the Husaberg site, lots of good info over there.. Nice bike by the way.. :thumbsup

Probably a little ar from you but 3 brothers in Costa Mesa off Superior is a great KTM shop and they do great work even on that husaberg. I would recommend George Earle as well but not sure if he is in business still.

Where in the IE are you at FT? My neighbor fixes bikes, incliding mine. Can maybe do a quick look.

My buddy is a mechanic at Langston's, just left Malcolm Smiths after a dozen years.

He has a shop at his house too. He's in Menifee.

PM me if you want his name/number

ESP in La Crescenta. I have a couple bikes there now for maintenance and minor mods

Might be a little out of the way from Chino.

Here's another one. Kyle is quick and reasonable. He's right off the 15 and Baseline working from his garage. He used to work at Burts. :thumbsup

Burt Reynolds place or Bert's Mega Mall?

KTM stands for "keep the mechanic"

I'm only aware of the Berts Mega Mall (even though I spelled it wrong) but anythings possible.

 

[HolyMoly]

does it have a low oil sensor that shuts the engine down?
