2025 KTM 390 ADVENTURE R

STRUCTURE:MOTORCYCLE:KICKSTAND/CENTER STAND

The bike has 400 miles on it. While riding the motorcycle on the highway (route 24 in MA) going 60 MPH, the spring of the side stand disconnected and the side stand extended and dragged on the road. Since the bike was in gear, the engine immediately stopped. I was lucky there was no car to my right and I was able to safely stop at the side of the road and use a zip tie to hold it up. I took the bike to the dealer and he said there are no recalls on the bike. Looking on-line I see similar complains and a recall and full change to the side stand in other countries but not here. The bike is a death trap, if the side stand drops on a left turn, there is a 100% chance of crashing it.
