Discs

- Start date
You've obviously never owned a KTM, the RC8 used to seize up, was told I was doing it wrong, wash then clean, rinse with demineralised water, then blow dry.
Weirdly, not one of my Ducati, Aprilia or BMW all of which have brembo calipers/discs ever suffered from that problem, I just washed then hosed down.
Although my K has started showing rust on the discs, Tokico calipers not sure of the disc manufacturer.
If it's under warranty complain.

I did but they said I was washing it with chemicals , and to try just water , I replied , how the fook do I clean the rest of the wheel then without the chance of a cleaner going near them .. my mate has exactly the same problem , the only common denominator was the fact that in Spain our discs when blue with excessive heat on some of the roads we did over a 7 day trip, whether that's got anything to do with it , he also said his last bike never did it as my last bike also did not.
so it aint just me ..
I have had a few Ktms before and never had the discs rust ( bits fell off all the time
) even the enduro bikes , but I suppose they were covered in silicon after wash , but the 990 ' s never did either.. im puzzled.
Duffus (dealer) and KTM attitude pissed me off so much that I'll never get another one of their bikes.I have had a few Ktms before and never had the discs rust ( bits fell off all the time
It is in owners manual for RC8 on cleaning regime.
I'm guessing off-road bikes are expected to be hosed down.

Condensation will aid rusting too, yes.
