TE/TC KTM and Husqvarna all Austria

I dont find articles that explain if all parts are from Austria or other countries. Any of you smart guys know?

check the specs, DID wheels, Kokusan Ignitions, NGK spark plugs, Tires, Magura and other handlebars , Brembo brakes, Magura Clutches, Brembo clutches, Polisport plastic and Im sure you can dig up more sourced parts that are not from Austria. I just listed Japanese, Italian, German, Portuguese for some of the sourced final assembly parts, Im sure there are others from eastern Europe as well and even the US (reed assemblies). But of course most of the core parts are KTM/Husky/WP Mattighofen built and assembled, Frame and suspension WP Austria.

I thought Racetech Plastics were the OE for KTM/Husqvarna? Anyway, their Italian .

Aren't the OE brake disc Braking or Galfer?

The frame and engine block maybe?

I'm now confused, "Polysports", "Racetech", I thought "Acerbis" made the plastics.

I have some plastics for my '15 FE 501 still packaged. Both factory KTM/Husqvarna/Husaberg Plastics, as well as Acerbis plastics and the bags on these plastics is exactly the same.

The only thing that is noticeably different between the 2 is the printing on the cardboard stapled flaps label. The appearance of these plastics, markings left from the molds on the rear side of the shrouds, the Airbox side panel studs and holding them in my hands is nearly the same ?

they have changed suppliers as usual especially in the plastics dept. KTM was exclusively Acerbis for many years, now they are what is most likely the best value for production with many suppliers to choose from. Polisport was one OEM supplier and I even saw another marque on some of my Italian Husky plastic from eastern Europe. So its always changing as they find better value suppliers, this is normal biz operation . The engine castings? for the Austrian bikes are very likely to be WP along with the frames which are 100% WP (division).
For the Italian bikes Gilardoni forgings and castings were a big supplier for engine parts with Verlicchi contracting to build frames.

Anyway this is Austrian thread. And the point is that the OEM outsources suppliers to suit the needs of production, like any major industrial manufacturer. And every MY you can find different or new suppliers throughout the product. Peirer Ind. is in business to make money, their people will always seek out ways to keep production costs down to keep margins in the black, like any company.

Haha

The U.S. supplied those reeds? Ouch.
