Not really. Production is based on an agreed forecast and budget, with terms and decisions approved by all stakeholders since funding is secured upfront from banks. The forecast originates from the sales and marketing teams, starting with the individual sales reps who estimate, "I can sell this...

It appears that FortNine has partnered with a dealer to supply parts. On the FortNine website, the logo for Moto Illimitées is displayed (Nous joindre | Motos Illimitées), suggesting a collaboration. For parts that can only be provided by dealers, the manufacturer remains the sole source. When...

I was wondering why I couldn't find new plastics anywhere. I need some new plastics because a tree jumped out at me. I have the parts on order with the dealer, but there is no stock at the KTM warehouse in Montreal, and no due date for when they will receive it. With KTM in shutdown and parts...

I'm not referring to the parts available through aftermarket vendors, but rather those that can only be sourced directly from KTM. While wheels, chains, sprockets, pistons, and shift levers are widely available from third-party suppliers, these vendors typically focus on the items that wear out...

If KTM were to go bankrupt, should I sell my bike quickly and switch to a brand like Yamaha or Honda? At the end of the day, it’s all about parts availability, and I’m not just talking about aftermarket options but OEM parts that only the manufacturer can provide. Some suppliers, including those...

I ride almost every weekend between SCCORA and the Ganaraska, with over 10 years of experience in the woods. I ride a 300 two-stroke. Maintenance: You won’t need major maintenance unless you’re riding hard. Besides oil changes and replacing worn tires and sprockets, there’s not much to do...

It's interesting how the advice on not worrying too much about a bike with over 200 hours can clash with the reality of trying to sell one. While seasoned riders and mechanics often reassure us that modern bikes can handle high hours if properly maintained, it's a whole different story when it...

At what juncture does a dirt bike accumulate too many hours? What constitutes excessive hours, and what potential issues might arise? Let's consider a two-stroke model with over 200 hours on its clock, single track ridden only, but with only 40 hours on the top-end rebuild. Would this be a bike...

For any Enduro race fans Hall of Famer Warren Thatxer is with the Canadian ISDE team in Argentina sending daily race reports and posting them on the Northumberland Trail Riders website. ISDE Argentina With the season wrapping up and the riding areas starting to close (Northumberland County...

I did my research before I bought my hitch carrier. The PA bends and flexes, and bounces around when driving and most people have a difficult time unloading and loading their bike. I see lots of them in the parking lots and most people will swear it's the absolute best there is. The PA units...

With the forest open, I went for a ride. Not good! Only a small portion of the forest is accessible and where you can ride is very limited. You can see lots of damage and the clean-up along the roads. Some of the single tracks were blocked with clean-up debris or fallen trees. The forest...

It's official the Ganaraska Forest will be closed until September 30, 2022!!
