KTM put a new motor (at 14k) in my 1190 Adv due to a leaky airbox. They left off an exhaust clamp, had short screws where long ones go in the fairing, Left off the fuse cover. Replaced my washable airfilter with a paper filter ( they did finally get my filters back to me). These are exactly reason why my bike only goes to the dealer if it's warranty work.
