KTM get a bit of a grilling in the motorcycle press over their chocolate camshafts, especially on the 790's. Just to even it out a bit, here's a camshaft that's done less than 5000 miles. The importer keeps them in stock, not that's it's a common failure or anything. The brand? BMW. You wouldn't get that with Japanese bikes, well not since the 70's anyway. I'm sure the manufacturers take it in turn just to keep us in business.
