Pressed on lobes with a crush fit instead of making them for one piece of billet , it’s not enough that KTM charges so much for their bikes , but cut corners as well to increase profits ,top end failures for years on these bikes ,you’d think they would just do it properly by now. They deny so many warranty’s when they know it’s entirely their own doing , total scam company.

Makes no difference newer or older head design. A guy in the uk has proved the oil pressure at the squirter isnt the cause. The camshafts lobes are individually pressed on to the shaft, it's looking more likely that some of the lobes have not been heat treated correctly, not an issue with oiling as some early 790's are still going strong with over 20k.

@@FMC-20244 You're welcome, so much contradictory info floating around. His investigation mirrors what a few people have been thinking. He's sent a set of worn cams away for metallurgy testing and awaiting him putting the next vid up with findings, a UK guy, but annoyingly I can't remember his channel 😡 I also suspected the same when I looked at a set, the lobes are all individual not one piece like traditional cams so there's a potential for some errors during manufacture. Despite some saying not enough oil was getting through the oil ways, the bearing journals don't wear. Also the squirters were in question but he debunked that. The best I've found is a billet inlet cam, but it's for the Duke motor. Loads more mid to top power and looking at the graphs we wouldn't lose any low end, but that would remain to be seen and depend on how the cam was degree'd and the tuners attention to ign timing creating a new map. I checked my 890 cams early at 6k and continue to do so at early intervals. As a daily driver mine gets started at 05:30 and ridden straight off, I don't sit there like some waiting for the oil to "warm up" that's just stupid. The engine should be run normally without thrashing until at full temp. I'll have a look for the vid later and link it for your info 👍

@@FMC-20244 The last last experience I had of anything like this was the VW golf GTI. They would eat through the top face of lifters like they were plastic. VW went straight to defensive mode and stated the engines needed to be run on "special" oil and dealer service or they wouldn't warranty them lol. My friend is a mechanic and looked after his meticulously but was denied warranty. He rebuilt his with aftermarket buckets and never had an issue after that. I suspect it is similar with KTM, this could have gone away with a recall or even sending cams out to owners out of warranty. They should just come clean and admit if it's quality control as It goes a long way to maintaining public confidence in their products, where denial in the face of hard facts (which they have forced people to look for) will have a huge dent in their integrity. I bought the 890R knowingly with only 12mth warranty as I was spoiled with excellent service when I raced KTM way back in the 90's. The dealer was an ex works mechanic and even though it was a race bike anything not right got sorted by the shop. These days though I've no dealer confidence and as soon as my warranty was finished I avoided the dealership and did everything myself. It's gone as far as looking at replacing the ECU to be rid of any tie to a shop.
