“I have 'two' vehicle safety complaints, regarding my 2015 Ktm 1190 ADVENTURE. 1) fuel system: on 9/5/2015, the bike stalled out on the hwy. The bike was showing three bars on the fuel indicator. (approximately a quarter tank full) I rocked the bike from side to side. Fuel was in the tank. I put 3.8 gallons of fuel in the bike and it started right up. The tank holds 6.1 gallons. The bike had 989 miles on the odometer and the dealer replaced the 'fuel sending unit'. On 5/1/2016, the bike stalled out in a very dangerous place on ca. Hwy 17. …”

“Fuel pump failed with no warning while passing a vehicle on a two lane highway. It showed no symptoms until hot and under load. When throttle was opened the engine sputtered like it was running out of gas. Eventually the vehicle would not accelerate and became unridable. The engine ran normally at idle and without a load on it (clutch in). This is a known Ktm problem in the 1190, 1290, and super duke family. My friend had his fuel pump fail on a 1290 exact same scenario at 13000 miles. There is no way to predict when the pump will fail and when it does could cause a crash. …”
