    Why does my KTM 125 Duke Motorcycle engine have too little power?
    • R
      Ryan HuntSep 16, 2025
      If your KTM Motorcycle engine has too little power, several factors could be the cause. A very dirty air filter could be restricting airflow, so replacing it is recommended. A dirty fuel filter may also be the culprit, requiring a check of the fuel pressure. Issues within the fuel injection system could also lead to power loss, necessitating a diagnostic check using the KTM diagnostics tool. Insufficient coolant can cause overheating and power loss, so check for leaks and verify the coolant level. Dirty radiator fins can reduce cooling efficiency, so clean them. Foam formation in the cooling system can impede heat transfer, requiring you to drain, fill, and bleed the system. Lastly, a defective thermostat can disrupt temperature regulation, so inspect the thermostat.

    Why does my KTM 125 Duke Motorcycle have high oil consumption?
    • A
      Ariel MooreSep 1, 2025
      High oil consumption in your KTM Motorcycle could be due to several reasons. The engine vent hose might be bent, so route it without bends or replace it if necessary. The engine oil level might be too high, so check it. Also, using engine oil that is too thin (low viscosity) can cause high consumption, so change the engine oil and oil filter, and clean the oil screen.
