KTM recalls 2025 390 Adventure R, SMC R, Adventure X and Enduro R motorcycles over side stand that can fall
Engine vibrations may break the side stand spring, letting the side stand drop to the ground while riding, which can shut off the ignition and raise the risk of a crash or injury.
What to do
Secure the side stand before riding until the repair is done; dealers will replace the spring and install a new sensor retaining plate for free. Owners can call KTM customer service at 1-888-985-6090.
