Example complaints

“The plastic gas tank has warped causing leaks both on the bottom of the tank where the fuel pump attaches and on the top of the tank where the filler neck is attached. The leak from the fuel pump area occurs both when the bike is ridden and stationary, the leak from the filler area occurs when the bike is ridden and gas sloshes to the top of the tank.”
NHTSA complaint #11366885, filed 2020-10, 3,000 miles“Fuel tank leaks fuel at the fuel filler neck, between the tank and the gas tank cap, past the gasket. The top of the tank (plastic) is warped, and the gasket does not seal. Fuel leaks down onto engine potentially creating a fire that would consume the bike, the rider and any objects around it.”
NHTSA complaint #11023629, filed 2017-09, 85 miles“Fuel tanks warp around fuel filler neck and cause fuel to leak over hot engine. Had recall done at dealer to replace fuel-filler neck gasket under recall, which worsened leak. Ktm then provided a whole replacement fuel tank, which continues to leak. Bike has been sitting for over a year now - Ktm has not released a proper solution to fix this issue that most 2016+ Ktm 690 DUKE owners have been constantly dealing with.”
