It's fairly documented that the old throttle cables could get pulled out. I had that problem with my steering damper pulling the cable out. Thread in cables are cheap and well thread right into the stock carb. KTM changed it in 14 or 15.

It had nothing to do with the cable. KTM sent out 6 guys to my house and did a 3-1/2 hour inspection. The slide was stuck. The bike was like new and very well maintained. They could not find a single thing wrong on my part, clean filter, could eat out of the airbox, cable was routed properly and it had the updated throttle housing done at the dealer. It's not a good feeling o the take off of a double when it suddenly goes wide open !!!

The 150 motor was all new in 16' ., wt. is 4lbs lighter than previous generation
My 16 motor is more mid top oriented than my 13' & 15' were
However the 16' - up motor is very easily & inexpensively massaged to make whatever power type you want .
Have an LMS head insert , stk pipe , shorty pc mx silencer . Stock Kehin , red pv spring & crazy 13/52
I like good low end power & this 16' pulls one gear taller than a stock bike & rips on top higher r's than the 13' , 15'
There is barely room for a few more cc's in the bore & none for increasing stroke
Ride enduro's h. scrambles & some moto
