Consumer Description
Repeated instances of complete motorcycle throttle failure/unresponsiveness—so far, only at starting out. Forums online describe this as a frequent, chronic problem with Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 (made by KTM). Message on Speedometer: TC FAILURE First incident: July 14, 2024 Approx mileage 8500 Immediate complete OEM battery replacement offered no change. Disabling “Traction Control” mitigated problem for last 2+ months. Possibly only incidental or coincidental success. Frequency of problem, however, has recently returned. Recent online search found forums reporting faulty throttle control module. Precisely the same symptoms are described by multiple owners. Manufacturer seems aware of this issue. My aim is to notify KTM for complimentary replacement and installation of this unit. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS AND POTENTIALLY LETHAL FAILURE. I have been lucky.
