There is a guy on YouTube I follow and is saying on a new SD the warranty does not cover any of the electronics, is this true?

That may be in Trump country but would not fly under Australian laws.

not normal but then again it's the land of freedom

Ducati also has a 24 month warranty with an incredable history of their bikes requiring a great deal of service/ repair. Thought of getting their MutiStrada Touring. The salesman actualy talked me out of it. He said the bike had to brought in to bleed the brakes & I did not live close enough to dealer??

The KTM service department explained to me how to change the oil and filters then, said I will see you when the bikes at 9K to 10K miles.

In the USA you can get full extended insurance coverage for your KTM SDGT through Zurich or RPM.

Best,

Doc

My '16 GT has required more warranty work than I'd like (Mainly preload adjuster failure), but there has been no trouble whatsoever getting warranty coverage, and my dealer has been great.
