At KTM, uncompromising safety, engineering precision and rider confidence are the foundation of every motorcycle.
To maintain performance and reliability, KTM is implementing an immediate software update for the following models:
- KTM 390 DUKE (MY 2024-2026)
- KTM 390 ENDURO R, 390 SMC R, 390 ADVENTURE R and 390 ADVENTURE X (MY 2025-2026
Extensive quality testing revealed a condition that, in rare cases, could cause the engine to stall at low rpms. While only a limited number of cases have been observed, KTM is taking decisive action to eliminate any potential risk and uphold the highest standards of performance and safety.
An update to the engine control unit (ECU) software will be applied to all affected motorcycles. This update significantly reduces the risk of engine stalling, particularly at low speeds or during deceleration, while also improving rideability with improved low-end torque and increased engine stability.
Owners of affected motorcycles will receive a notification by letter and are requested to contact an authorised KTM dealer to arrange a complimentary software update. The update will be carried out free of charge and exclusively by KTM’s authorised dealer network. Verification of affected motorcycles and a complete list of dealers are available in the “Service” section of the official KTM website.
This action underlines KTM’s commitment to product quality, rider safety and long-term trust. By acting quickly and decisively, KTM ensures that every motorcycle continues to deliver the performance and reliability expected from the brand.
