That’s a very vulnerable place for a plastic fitting. If I get a new bike I’ll change that before the first ride. Thanks for another great video!

I have been looking at buying a newer bike (leaning towards BETA). This is exactly the sort of thing one likes to know about! Thanks for the post.

I have both a 2019 and a 2020 tpi, and I never even noticed this was plastic on the 2020... good to know!! Ty

And that's why we love watching your videos 👍👌

Time for a recall KTM.

Thanks for this info. I’m going to look into getting these parts here in Australia. Cheers 👍🏼

Great to Know and thank you again for the knowledge. Best wishes for 2020!

Happy new year Mark 🎉!

Great tip saw a video just the other day of a Tpi on fire don't know if this was an issue that contributed to the fire but very handy to know

Thanks for what you do

Very helpful video once again! Thanks!!

Another great tip! Keep it up.

GREAT video --- top notch! 👍👍👍

Gracias por tu video. He ahorrado tiempo y dinero. Muchas gracias

I really appreciate you making these videos, they are very informative, right to the point, that motorcycle it's a treasure for a youtube channel, so many things to fix, my yamaha it's useless for that, nothing ever brakes on that damn thing, I'm gonna go broke with my channel.. I need a Ktm asap...

Dying to have a go on one of these TPIs although they do seem to be having the odd strange issue here and there, Definitely not enough to put me off though

Thanks !! Good info 👍🏻

great catch

Just a heads up, Rocky Mountain ATV is shipping the crappy nylon connector in Part # 79007090144.

What can I do if the bolt that holds the 90 degree fuel line connect won’t back out? Idk if it was overtightened? What can I do???

the newer the motorcycle, the worse it is made half of the parts need to be replaced after purchase for what purpose does the manufacturer exchange good aluminum for plastic

KTM cutting cost, and charging more as per usual... Hoping they dont ruin Gas Gas range!!

👍 grate video👍

15.7mm stepless ear clamp - is it the same as a fuel filter inside the tank has?

If you watch WESS Taddy broke this twice! First thing a saw when I picked up my 2020 was this giant plastic life line that can easily break on me 😥

I have a 2019 exc 300 TPI here in Australia (with the alloy outlet). About 12mths ago I had a very similar experience where the fuel hose connector where the inline fuel filter goes (obscurely call the ' CLUTCH CPC BLACK 05' in KTM parts diag) broke off the plastic nipple. The result was, somewhat predictably, the same as in no more riding for me for the day. At this point the bike was almost new had less that 15hours on it and it was not cold at all being the end of an australian summer. I have no explanation as why this happened, though we were pushing through some scrub but nothing particularly dense but it was really annoying. I wonder if there is some inherent weakness around here? Like you, I now have about 140 various sized ear clamps and newly acquired ear clamp tool (that i suspect, ill never need again). Anyways, for what its worth.

One thing to consider is that Plastic failure could lead to a fire.. Considering that aluminum is the way to go.. Plastic would shift a bit too when it's cold .. The fitting is very close to the engine so I am thinking it does not get that cold after 15 minutes.. Are they made in China now ?

Is Ktm 500 Exc 2013 also using same plastic connector? Thank you.

My 2020 300xc tpi I replaced plastic fuel tape w aluminum aftermarket ( slavens) about a year ago...from day one it leaked from top o ring where it meets tanks ...tighten it down even more problem solved...or so I thought...ff a yr later started bike yesterday to ride ..was dumping fuel same spot !! Finally got it stopped but it seems super sketchy...I had to tighten it supertight...like the slightest bump from dropping bike is going to start leaking again!! Figured I'd start by replacing the 2 oem O rings....looked at all oem parts and I can't find anything ....no fuel tap...no o rings! Any suggestions where to order.? Or any thoughts on this leak ?? My nearest ktm dealership is hr drive one way so online is usually easier for me ...thanks

ktm goes cheaper and cheaper every year...

All about saving $$$$, not 7 grams... sad..

i never would of seen that, but must be a cost thing i would think.

👍

Its really disappointing decision from KTM to make swap from Alu to plastic material. This aluminum part is on ktm for 10 years or so and they change it now for worst :( .

Thanks for the video and product offers , the stock setup by KTM/Husky is a lazy, poorly though out design.

Same deal with 2020 4 stroke?

Brliliant!

do not see this kit in the webshop

CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER ASAP!

That aluminum piece is machined. It's probably 4 times the cost of the molded plastic piece. I don't think it's about weight savings.

cfmoto *coff coff* KTM ftw!

7 grams! KTM people are re nuts really... not buying new ktm anymore.

Cheap ass KTM making bikes cheaper in the guise of making them lighter. I'm surprised they don't sell the metal one as a KTM Power Part in orange

Bloody typical Low quality KTM/Huskys parts .. it's a 2020 model and already this is happening .. thank goodness I ditched the orange colored lemons after countless glitches that should not be happening on late model bikes .. KTM should hang there head in shame with there never ending series of glitches that raise there head on every model it seems .. its a real shame cos they could be a true premium brand if the parts quality was top notch through out the entire bike .. it feels like the bike is designed in Europe .. made in china
