Suspension · reported Nov 6, 2026
While riding on a public road at moderate speed, I began experiencing unusual handling characteristics. The motorcycle felt very much like it had a soft or flat rear tire, with the bike swaying from side to side. I stopped to check the rear tire pressure, believing that might be the cause of the unusual handling. Instead, I discovered something far more alarming. The swingarm pivot axle had migrated approximately 1 inch out of one side of the motorcycleâs frame. Upon examining the opposite side, I could see completely through the frame opening to the swingarm. The swingarm itself had shifted…

Under moderate ambient air temperatures of 75-80F the gas tank gets pressurized and if opened when more than a gallon remains this pressure causes fuel to spray out of the gas tank.

As an adventure motorcycle, a no start problem or if the bike shuts down while riding this could be a dangerous potentially deadly situation. There is also a known issue with the cam shafts failing at low mileage also. There is an active forum and Facebook pages with thousands of members world wide that are experiencing major defects on this model with…
Power Train · reported Apr 3, 2024
The bolt that holds the swingarm to the motorcycle fell off. The shaft vibrated out partially and half of the swingarm came loose which cause the rear wheel to be misaligned so the bike went down the road 'sideways'. On the forums and facebook groups, this is a common issue among owners of this model of motorcycle and it's predecessor (KTM790). Apparently, the manufacturer does NOT torque the bolts properly and apply loctite. In 40+ years of riding dozens of motorcycle, I've never had this critically important bolt fall off. This is regularly happening to owners of this model of KTM motorcycle
