The turn signals on my 2026 KTM 390 Adventure do not function properly. They either fail completely or work intermittently. This creates a serious safety hazard because other drivers cannot see when I am turning or changing lanes. This increases the risk of a crash, especially in traffic or low light conditions. •“Problem happens every ride” •“Problem started at miles 10 •“Dealer could not fix” even replaced blinkers.

On several occasions the motorcycle stalls and the engine cuts off when coming to a stop from highway speed as you approach an intersection, stop light, stop sign creating a hazardous and dangerous condition
The bike is prone to stalling as you come to a stop and are pulling in the clutch. It can happen without warning. There is also an issue with the side stand. It stacks out pretty far and if your boot touches it can kill power delivery leading to a sudden loss of power.
in certain comditions when using the turn signal a yellow "turn light will pop up on the screen and the blinker fail to function properly. if that pops up all blinkers stop working

The bike has 400 miles on it. While riding the motorcycle on the highway (route 24 in MA) going 60 MPH, the spring of the side stand disconnected and the side stand extended and dragged on the road. Since the bike was in gear, the engine immediately stopped. I was lucky there was no car to my right and I was able to safely stop at the side of the road and use a zip tie to hold it up. I took the bike to the dealer and he said there are no recalls on the bike. Looking on-line I see similar complains and a recall and full change to the side stand …

The contact owns a 2025 KTM 390 Adventure R. The contact stated that while riding the motorcycle on several occasions at various speeds in weather under 60 degrees, the left or right turn signals were activated but failed to operate as intended. Additionally, each time the turn signals were activated in cold weather, the message "Turn Signal Failure" was displayed. The motorcycle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed and it was determined that the turn signals were inoperable and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of th…

Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.
This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.
No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.
Equal-age model-year comparison
Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.
No selected model years have a complete observation window. Choose an eligible year or a shorter window.
Incident date is preferred when valid and no later than filing; otherwise filing date is used. Model year approximates age. Equal observation time does not adjust for sales, distance driven or reporting delays. One complaint linked to multiple model years can appear in each cohort.
