    For those that have a KTM 500 exc 2017- through 2019 ( I think the 2020 is different), I've found a kinda hidden problem with the wiring loom.  Within the airbox is three relays.  The middle of which is the fuel relay.  The wiring that comes in and out of the relays loops down and back up into the wiring loom.  These loops rest against the inside of the rear fender and I've found significant chafing of the wires.  So much chafing that My bike quit as the wire to the fuel relay wore all the way through the wire, copper and all. A couple of the protective wiring sheaths were also wore through.  Might be worth taking a look at yours to see how they are doing before you get stuck somewhere remote.  I've got about 14,000 miles and 450 hours. Your results may vary.  This has been a public service announcement.

    From thecerver: 

    Unfortunately I wasn't able to fix it. I went to Moab and used two old phones I had. I tried Gaia, All Trails, Google Offline Maps, and Rever. I feel Gaia worked the best, but battery life on my old Samsung was too short and it was difficult to see the phone versus a GPS unit.

    I'll put some batteries in the Garmin tomorrow and see if there's a miracle.

     

    Good luck.

    I put new batteries in and it is still broken...which makes sense. Someone in the group said to turn it off for a bit and turn it back on, thinking it would fix itself. Didn't happen.

    It still gets stuck on "loading maps".

    Garmin offered by a refurbished unit for $170 but I'm so frustrated with it being a software issue that I won't pay that.

    Good luck

    You could drive up the grade a bit and find a place to park it.  A few wide spots/pullouts do exist. Not sure it will be there when you get back though. If you are plated, a casino parking lot maybe? Jilberto's and El Ray restaurants both also have plenty of room and are pretty close.  I'm close too if you are plated and want security. PM if you like.   Behind the Pauma Valley Post office is another paved lot (upper lot) thats pretty empty.
