I think that there is more and more of a problem nowadays with the fueling issues on new bikes because of emissions regs. It seems a well accepted fact that the SD suffers from low down fueling issues that come about because of the manufacturers, (not just KTM), need to satisfy regulatory requirements and then it takes all the new owners a few years to sort out the problems their own way - in parallel to the manufacturers working with the fuel injection settings and maps etc. to sort it out too. There are constant factory updates and improvements and each model is better than the last. But the early models - especially the first ones always seem to have issues.
I don't know what the easy answer is. Me.......I'd almost rather go back to carbs, (and ditch the electronics and FI), because they worked well and didn't have all these issues. I know it will never happen though.
