Now we know how the cow ate the cabbage?

Sorry mate, you've lost me there

Its just southern jargon that means we (might) know the truth or least some clarification, now on a specific topic ...

For a company to admit to a design so bad it must be recalled, it is a big big $ deal (not to mention the bad PUB) ... Someones' career might have just went parallel instead of vertical. That means no more pay-raises \ job title changes and best to watch for that door that just might hit you on the way out.

Did you guys actually read the recall.... '15 bikes exported to UK, due to assembly error. This is not because of the design of the forks, even though they are far from perfect.

Thanks Norm ...

Here is the meat of what this all about.

Due to a supplier production fault, it is now necessary to check the torque setting of a nut between the fork’s piston rod and screw cap, within the 4CS fork chamber. This check can be carried out by authorised KTM and Husqvarna dealers only. It takes about 25 minutes and is completely free of charge.

The fault generally occurs in the first few operating hours and is identified by a knocking sound from within the fork. In addition to this, the damping in the affected strut decreases.

Here's another, maybe, more accurate angle on the bike building side ... Who is the supplier? And how did this get out of the house? These are internal questions and some one will answer these, internally. (The supplier of course has a say here also, again internally)

WP, KTM, same thing no?

The shops been in touch today, so my te300 is booked in for the recall.

Just seems odd that they would blame the supplier(themselves) for this...

You can recall them to us.

If the fix only takes about 25 minutes, that likely means they are just checking the torque as noted. The "supplier" is likely their own company - white power. Hans had a hangover and let a few slip by.
FWIW, I know a lot of people (incuding myself) were down on the 4cs forks, but mine ('14 TE250) seem to be getting much better as time and dialing-in goes on, to the point where I consider them to be very good right now for rough enduro-type single track trails.

Its a manufacturing fault.
It happens to all at some stage, good that they have released the info for the bikes to be checked.

I didn't post the details as a bash, only to make people aware of the issue & get it checked.
Often owners aren't able to be contacted if a bike/car changes hands & the new owners miss out.

I was appreciative of the post, my friend texted me something about a recall but then all I saw was it was the torque setting and only affected the UK bikes I wasn't worried. Plus when I change my fork springs I would have seen if there was anything wrong.

Super easy check/ fix
