I broke my 'Berg (and you could do likewise to your KTM or 'Berg if you have an FI model)
On Saturday I was doing an oil and filter service. Dropped the oil; changed the filter; checked the two oil screens, replenished oil, sparked it up and all is well.
So then I turn to the micro-filter that is in the fuel-injection rail - which is supposed to be changed at every service. It's simply a question of pulling off the rubber fuel line, pulling out and replacing the filter.
On the 'Berg, the whole thing is a bastid to access, but I get the jubilee clip undone and start gently tugging the rubber fuel hose. Well, I must have been like an apprentice rock-ape because I snapped off the pipe onto which the hose fits! Bastid, bastid!
The KTM Centre didn't have one in stock ("Nobody breaks them, Sir!") and I'm relieved of £60 to have one ordered from Austria.
The bike has to be totally dismantled to fit the fecker and the irony is that the micro-filter was as clean as a whistle!
Rock-apes beware!

at least you have got time on your side to sort it, as long as your heavy hand doesn't break anything else in the process
