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.

Service Bulletin/Repair Instructions

Continental Tire the Americas, LLC (âCTAâ) has determined that certain TKC 80 tires fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 119, "New pneumatic tires - other than passenger cars." CTA has initiated a tire safety recall to remove these tires from service. The KTM models listed above were originally equipped with TKC 80 brand tires. CTA has determined that groove cracks in the tread rubber developed during internal testing. Groove cracking may appear during the tire service life and can lead to tread separation, increasing the risk of a crash. On the specified 690, 890, 1090 and 1290 Models listed above only the originally equipped TKC 80 front tire is affected and needs replaced. On the specified 250, 350, 450 and 500 EXC-F Models listed above both the originally equipped TKC 80 front and rear tires are affected and need replaced. Customers that still have originally equipped TKC 80 tires mounted on their motorcycle are eligible to have the recall tire replacement performed by an authorized KTM dealer.

Service Bulletin/Repair Instructions

It is possible that on the models listed above that the silencer clamp was positioned incorrectly during assembly and must be checked to verify that it is positioned correctly. If it is not positioned correctly it must be adjusted and corrected. On affected VINâs if the silencer clamp is mounted incorrectly as shown in Fig.1 the clamp may come in contact with the protective sheathing on the rear brake line, the brake hose bracket or the swingarm during heavy compression of the suspension and with excessive payload. Please check that the clamp is mounted correctly as shown in Fig.2 at the transition between the presilencer and silencer.

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.
