Was KTM solely to blame?

Is the KTM “cheese cam” issue a real problem—or just internet hype?
In this video, I dig into what I’ve learned from riders, mechanics, and people close to KTM about the rumored camshaft issues affecting some KTM engines. I break down what the problem is (or isn’t), how widespread it might be, and what new or potential KTM owners should actually be paying attention to.

If you ride a KTM—or are thinking about buying one—this video will give you a grounded, real-world look at the camshaft concerns and what’s being done about it.

🧭 I'm not here to bash brands—I’m here to ride, learn, and share what I find out along the way.
