2014 exhaust rattle
By: truck11 Date: May 7, 2014, 7:23 am

I have been noticing the exhaust has a rattle that seems to be
coming from inside the can. Nothing else is loose or would
otherwise produce this sound. I am also not sure (right now) if
it only does it when it is cold.
Anyone with a 2014 and stock set up have this situation?
Video taken this morning.

Sounds like a warranty replacement to me! I doubt there's a way
to service that can.
And that DOES sound awful. Good luck.

I have a buzz noise that has developed, but I have a Wings. On
my last ride there was a buzz on the left side. At red lights i
tried touching the heat shields; no change. When I stopped,
revved the engine, but could not find it. It's most noticeable
when accelerating.
Thoughts?

I sent the video clip to the dealer and they also checked with
KTM - warranty claim and will replace it. He did want me to
drop by so he could hear it in person also, but said the video
clip would suffice.
Too bad they won't replace it with say.... a Wings or Akro
exhaust or something. :-( (has to be a KTM part #) I'm sure
Wings/Akro would be cheaper than OEM.
Will update once completed.

them this time.

Dealer plugged in the muffler part # to reorder... "None
Orderable part" He has another call into KTM to see what the
correct part # is.
I asked IF KTM can't order it (for what ever reason and in a
reasonable time period) can he talk to KTM about a compromise,
like an allowance to get something else. I understand the 'new'
muffler will not be covered by KTM warranty etc etc..... He
is game and will let me know once he talks with KTM again.
oh... and wants close to $250-300 for first service. WTF?
2hrs labor plus oil and filter kit.

Yeah, it's a scam. They want the same for the first service in
Houston, yet they won't provide an itemized list of what
services are provided. If I had to do it over, I'd purchase the
service manual for $26 and do it myself. The only thing you
can't do is plug the ECU into their computer to look for trouble
codes.
Fair enough, take it in after you've serviced the bike and ask
them to plug it into their computer. It shouldn't take more
than 1/4 hour's labor.
