ECU fault could be a number of things but it looks like the bike is riding ok so PROBABLY it's fine for a test ride... I'd probably not BUY that bike if it's already throwing codes... KTM reliability seems to vary and bikes that have problems sometimes have LOTS of problems, friday bikes or something like that. The bike is not really an enduro... more like a good base platform for building a lightweight ADV bike. I've had minor issues with my 2021 but nothing major in 50k km. (about 60% dirt/40% pavement) as for alternatives... AJP PR7 is the only one that comes to mind, and now the Ducati if you put dirt tires on it. 500exc is definitely better offroad but is terrible on pavement so it depends on what kind of riding you like to do. This bike really is for mixed use (and IMO piling on the km's)
@@kuhndj67 yeah it was riding fine, it was a fault c9nnected to the quickshifter so they told me just ride it. Yes the bike is something between a 500exc and a 890 adv, for long trips onroad its not great from seating but better then the exc. Offroad its lighter then the 890adv so not so skilled person has it lighter to go on some adventure :)
