What's wrong?
The side stand on the 2025 KTM 390 Adventure R, 390 Enduro R, 390 Smc R, and 390 Adventure X is the kickstand that holds the motorcycle upright when parked. Its spring keeps the stand pulled up against the frame while the motorcycle is moving. The side stand sensor tells the ignition system whether the stand is in the riding position.
On these motorcycles, engine harmonics, meaning repeated vibration patterns from the engine, can overload the side stand spring on forged side stands. The spring can break while riding and let the stand drop. If that happens, the ignition turns off, and the stand can contact the ground, which raises the risk of a crash, damage, or injury.
There is no warning sign before failure. The problem is the spring and sensor hardware, not rider input or normal stand use.

Covers four KTM 390 variants for the 2025 model year, all tied to the side stand and retaining hardware.

What's the safety risk?
A side stand that drops while riding can shut off the ignition, increasing the risk of a crash or injury. Before each ride, secure the side stand and schedule the recall repair so the spring and sensor retaining plate are replaced. Repair is free at any franchised KTM dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2025 KTM 390 Adventure R, 390 Enduro R, 390 Smc R, or 390 Adventure X is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised KTM dealer to schedule the free side-stand spring and sensor retaining plate repair that keeps the stand from dropping while riding.
- Secure the side stand before riding until the repair is complete, as KTM instructs.
- Bring the owner letter if you have it, and reference recall number 25V907 when you call or arrive.
- Call KTM customer service at 1-888-985-6090 with questions about parts, scheduling, or side-stand guidance.
What happens at the repair
The recall repair is available at the dealer. A KTM technician replaces the side stand spring and installs a new side stand sensor retaining plate, free of charge. Until that work is complete, secure the side stand before riding the motorcycle. If you already paid to replace the side stand spring and side stand sensor retaining plate, KTM offers a refund when you provide evidence of the repair. Bring that documentation to the service desk or contact KTM customer service for the refund process.
