Vehicle report
Technical service bulletins are instructions a manufacturer sent its dealers about a known fault. They are not recalls and the work is usually not free, but they are the clearest signal of a problem the manufacturer already knows about.

Updated software is available for the 2019 1290 Super Duke GT. Therefore, all of the motorcycles control units must be checked to verify that they have the latest flash file versions installed. If they do not have the latest version, they must be updated.

Due to market feedback, KTM North America, Inc. has found that on the 2017 1290 SUPER DUKE GT there is a possibility that the fuel filters and/or fuel pump motor could cause a lower than recommended fuel pressure which could decrease the performance of the engine. To aid in preventing a fuel pressure decrease, a replacement kit for the fuel pump has been specially developed consisting of new seals, gaskets, filters and pump motor to stabilize and maintain recommended operating fuel pressure.
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
