KTM isn't having the best of MotoGP seasons, as reliability issues have plagued the Austrian manufacturer. There have been numerous retirements, mostly mid-field finishes, and only Pedro Acosta, who's soon to be wearing Ducati red, has finished anywhere close to the leaders. But the team's bike has just had issue upon issue that have caused lackluster results.
As you'd expect, KTM has exhausted what it can do to change its fate under the regulations and rules set forth by MotoGP and the other teams, but to no avail. So now it wants to see what's up with the motorcycle inside its engine, which would quasi-break those rules. That is, unless the other teams agreed to allow them to do so, which wouldn't be unheard of.
