Just an update:
The bike has now been out of commission 41 of the 101 days I've owned it.
I called KTM North America yesterday to complain because, 30 days in the shop for warranty repair in 18 months puts it into Lemon Law territory in California. I also mentioned that it costs me an extra $20/day for gas a parking while the bike is out of service. KTM was nice but totally unconcerned. They said they have the dealer call me which they did just now. The dealer, SBM, said that they're cross shipping a parts with KTM and that they should have the last parts they need in 2-3 days. Which probably means another week of waiting.
As I understand it, KTM won't ship replacement parts under warranty normally until they have the damaged parts. The "cross shipping" statment suggest they never shipped the cam (etc) to KTM. #$%(*&%$#*%&!!!!
