Yep I was on a 1400 mile trip and my o ring gave out!
I now have the Rekluse slave cylinder!
I would note that mine gave out at 15,000 miles yes that’s right 15,000 miles.
But I fixed it with a 7/8 o ring from a tractor shop.
I was solo 600 miles from home and in the middle of nowhere when it happened (video coming soon lol)
Good news are:
1. For bikes from 2018 to 2020 there is a recall for the slave cylinder problem.
2. Starting 2021 there is a new slave cylinder and it seems they have finally fixed this issue.
Some of the late 2020 models have the new slave cylinder.
Does the 2016 model have the slave problem? What is the name & part number for the new slave cylinder please?
@@bretleversha there is no recall for 2016 models, but you can get an Oberon slave cylinder.
Yeah, but they knew and refused to make it a recall.. Screwing so many people including myself! Love the product but will NEVER buy again and same with the unlocking features with the KTM..
@@brandonbarnes8506 KTM is doing the same thing as Tesla by selling the pre installed options and although it sucks, both companies are selling tons of units regardless.
I have just got my 690(2020 - 4700km) back this week from having my slave cylinder fixed under warranty.I can't believe the factory have not fixed this on the production line.
Replaced mine about a week ago with the Oberon so far so good. This was on a 21 the oem slave looked different from the 2020 on the inside so I believe so they might have changed it. I did mine because I didn't want it to go out while rideing
welcome to the club....it's very known that the O-ring of the membrane breaks down. I changed my O-ring to 3'rd party based on different rubber material (I think hdpe) like dozens riders in our group and for them (I'm new) it's working for long time.
I had the slave cylinders fail on both the KTM 950 and 990. It's just one of the many things you pretty much have to plan on upgrading. I see a lot of reviews of new bikes and I often hear "well one downfall is that it has a cable clutch". Well, they might not be as smooth as a hydraulic clutch, but a heck of a lot easier to fix on the trail.
Mine failed me in town. My phone was dying...luckily, a 701SM was going past. He went, got his truck and took me all the way home and wouldn't even accept gas money. I have a rekluse slave cylinder in now, me thinks? Was a couple years back.
Same on my 2019 501. Got the upgraded piston and now all fine I hope. Happened in difficult terrain, I figured out that a clutch helps but one can survive without 😅There was a recall in EU I think
defect on 501 too. I did a replacement on my 2017 before it failed using a rekluse slave cylinder one. Not hard at all. Dealer should mention this to everyone who purchases a new bike.
Oberon makes one with a lifetime warranty, KTM had a recall which they put another stock one but I eventually put the Oberon one on
Same here 2022 Fe 501's slave failed about 7 months after I bought it brand new.
I’ve had this problem on my 2021 KTM 690 Enduro R!!! I’ve gotten stranded 4 times cause of that O-ring in just 4000km…
Not great, but, no biggy on the 2021, they come with the quick shifter off the showroom floor.
A known issue should have had a quick fix. Let’s face it, a bike is only as good as its weakest part. Plus a reputation rides (ha ha) on reliability especially on distant trails. I have a 2023 701 Enduro. I’m hoping it’s fixed!
Same problem on the ktm690. My brother had his fail with only 15 miles on the odometer.
15 miles? Kinda good actually, at least he got the clutch slave replacement deal out of the way. Ya, one could warranty it, but why bother? KTM clutch slaves may fail immediately or after many years, like it did on my 2010 450. The longer they take to fail, the more they lull you into believing that you "got a good one" and that it won't fail. Don't buy into it - they all eventually will fail, the question is when. 😆
This reminds me, while it is working fine, I need to order an Oberon for my new 1,000 miles on it '23 701, for the peace of mind if nothing else. Shouldn't have to, but I knew this going in as a long time KTM owner. The 690 platform is just plain awesome, and it's little quirks are worth dealing with.
2023 model with not even 600 miles yet... I bought the Oberon but have not installed it yet. If you ask me it should probably be redesigned with more bearing surface.
ups
Hi guys…I am considering the 701 purchase in few months. So what would you recommend? 701 or KTM 690?
I hate to see myself stop on the way
both are the same bike. They just have different color plastics and style
Hi Lavi
Suggest joining the Facebook Husqvarna 701 group - thousands of owners there to give advice.
From my understanding:
Husky 701 - bit more trail focused (Enduro version) and trick bits
KTM 690 - bit more road focused
Up to you, I bought the 701 and think it’s a great bike, but let’s face it there’s not much between the two!
690 has a slightly bigger fuel tank.
Should trade in for a new-old DRZ400S :)
The same happened twice with my 690. The first at 300 km and the second at 3000 km. Dealer says the factory had changed smth in cylinder design at my second time. Will see. Anyway the one recommendation is not to pull the clutch lever up to handle bar with the lever regulated for far travel.
Do you think it vibrates more then the Honda CRF450L ?
No, 2019 onwards they hardly vibrate at all.
@@jamesfairmind2247 Thank you.
Ktm flaws repel my interest.
Just needs a .50c EPDM o-ring - yes Husqvarna should address this
Any idea What model years this effect?
I'm wondering that too... sounds like something to proactively change (if it's a problem on the 19-21's)
@@kuhndj67 I guess we'll never know 😆
@@KParks So there IS a newer part that some say addresses the problem... so the question becomes "when was the switch to the new part". 21's are probably safe, not as sure about 20's and earlier.
@@kuhndj67 Just bought a 2021 and was told by the dealer that the problem is fixed.
@@GlennFrost321 Hi, could you confirm this, after two months ? :)
My 690 held up less than 800 km.
Bro that sucks! Glad to see you had a riding buddy with you. Because breaking down solo sucks @ss!.
Oberon…job done.
if you haven't fallen and graunched a hand with the bar and levers .....you'll never know how valuable and essential proper hand guards are.
I ride hard Enduro so those are a must. On the 701 I put them on in case but I rarely drop the 701 even on single track. But can't imagine that thing landing on your hand. Had my Drz land on my ankle and had a bone bruise for a year 🙃
The reliability issues are why I'm holding off on buying this bike... KTM thinks having such high performance is enough to sell their bikes. But I can tell you it's not enough for me. Reliability is # 1... I don't want to work on my bike all the time and not even trust it Will work on the trails. KTM get this fixed!
It looks like damaged to the lever I’m sure caused an issue with it also
a damaged lever has nothing to do with the gasket inside the clutch salve cylinder. Husqvarna already made a recall about this. Besides, I cut the lever myself since I like using one finger on the clutch
@@RWWRENTAL so the hole in the hand guard was that custom also, so your saying the bike never fell on the clutch lever to cause enough force to poke a hole in the hand guard?
@@whiteknuckleracer1182 I dont understand what you are trying to get at. its obvious all off road motorcycles fall. Regardless of the fall, the clutch slave cylinder will never be effected by the fall if the impact was on the clutch lever. its like saying because you break your rear brake lever, your master cylinder gets all messed up. that force does not translate. There is a reason Husqvarna made a recall about this
@@RWWRENTAL ok, ok geez calm down it was just a question.
Easy fix
its a very easy fix, but something Husqvarna should have addressed way long ago
So the fact that you damaged the bike directly on the clutch lever has nothing to do with it right
Not at all I cut my clutch levers since I use 1 finger actually. Did the same with the te250i
Damage by force caused from an accident, great enough to BREAK the lever and damage the hand guard not a CUSTOM job.
