    KTM engine build

    KTM 1290 Engine rebuilt. 60,000km

    Dude had oil pump fail apparently. (Could happen to any brand) It seems KTM contract out major work to this engineering outfit, explained in his earlier vid. Not so much a build up video but an interview with some interesting info on damage and their thoughts on the 790/890 saga. Pretty cool engine test bed setup to.

    See if you can 'accidentally ' cut him.

    If he bleeds Orange, then he's the RealDeal.

    If he bleeds Red. . well. . .
    Don't you look at my accountant.
