The KTM motorcycles 2021

What's changing in 2021
it's another big year for KTM. 2021 will see the 890 engine replace all the bikes that used to be powered by the 790 twin - the Adventure, Adventure R, Adventure Rally and Duke. The 125 Duke, 390 Duke, 690 SMC R and 690 Enduro R are also affected by the Euro 5 upgrade. The 1290 Super Adventure S takes on a new generation with a new design, radar cruise control and improved efficiency.
There have been 2 recalls for 2021 models :
- Motorcycles recalled on Saturday, February 12, 2022 in 13 countries : Superduke 1290 R
Short-circuits in the wiring harness can occur, increasing the risk of fire.
- Motorcycles recalled on Friday, July 23, 2021 in 14 countries : 1290 Super Adventure R 1290 Super Adventure S
The plastic plug on the carbon filter drain hose may melt by the heat emanating from the exhaust and act as an ignition source. Consequently, small quantities of fuel may escape through the open/damaged plug and melting plastic can drip onto the exhaust manifold, increasing the risk of fire.
