KTM recalls 2025 390 Adventure R motorcycles due to side stand spring failure causing falls that may shut off ignition and increase crash risk. Owners must secure side stand before riding until repair.
A motorcycle side stand that falls to the ground while riding can shut off the ignition, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
KTM is recalling 2025 390 Adventure R motorcycles because engine vibrations can break the side stand spring, causing it to fall while riding. This may shut off the ignition, increasing the risk of a crash or injury. Affected owners should secure the side stand before riding until the repair is completed.
Engine vibrations can cause the side stand spring to break. When the side stand falls while riding, it may shut off the motorcycle's ignition, potentially leading to a crash or injury if the rider is unable to control the bike.
Owners of 2025 KTM 390 Adventure R, 390 SMC R, 390 Adventure X, and 390 Enduro R motorcycles are affected. Riders who ride these models without securing the side stand before starting may face increased crash risk.
Check for 2025 model year KTM 390 Adventure R, 390 SMC R, 390 Adventure X, or 390 Enduro R motorcycles. The recall was reported to NHTSA in early February 2026, so affected vehicles were likely sold around that time.
Ensure the side stand is properly secured before starting the motorcycle to prevent it from falling while riding.

Owners are advised to secure the side stand before riding the motorcycle until the remedy has been completed. Dealers will replace the side stand spring and install a new side stand sensor retaining plate, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on February 17, 2026. Owners may contact KTM customer service at 1-888-985-6090. The manufacturer's number for this recall is KTB2514. The information in your report suggests that KTM North America, Inc.

Please be reminded that under Federal law, this agency is to be notified of all safety defect and/or noncompliance decisions within five business days. 49 CFR 573.6.
