    Why does my KTM Motorcycle have high oil consumption?
    • S
      stanleymyersJul 27, 2025
      High oil consumption in your KTM Motorcycle can be due to several reasons: * A bent engine vent hose. In this case, route the vent hose without bends or replace it. * Engine oil level being too high. Check the engine oil level. * Engine oil being too thin (low viscosity). Change the engine oil and the oil filter, and clean the oil screens.
