I gould just get it started with some preheading and assistance of cars... Was a pain in the as and even the KTM dealer in Chile couldn't find a solution. At the end they checked the valves and this solved the problems.
Now at round about 25000 Kilometer I am getting the same problem again. One theory is, that all the dust in the airbox closes the valves by time - so the bike starts not so easy...
The Unifilter should fix this issue - I am still waiting for it...
Greetings Martin

I just read on Facebook that Martins KTM is have major, perhaps, terminal problems. Don't know if its air filter related though.
