Right idea mate, enjoy the bike, they are so much fun. Twist and go personified. Cam issue is not great advertisement at all, real customers with real problem. Sounds like a 'potential' oil pressure issue feeding oil to the cam, the story changes as time moves on. A fraction of actual sales affected but still a fraction. Simple solution, don't be shy to give it beans at high rpm when you can. That's how they were tested and survived.
Using the right oil probably matters too, a cheaper quality oil change (which a dealer might do too) could make a difference. But yes, definitely not trying to denigrate anyone's who's had this specific problem, that sucks. That said, it's a bit frustrating, as an owner, that a fraction effected has knocked a lot of value off my bike. I blame the community more than the brand for that one, although it's a fine line for accountability.
Enjoy the ride....nice KTM :)
