While driving the motorcycle at random times the engine stops running and looses power. The motorcycle has been looked at by a dealer multiple times and found no issues. The motorcycle screen goes blank and reboots. That is when it looses power. The screen when it reboots flashes a red bar at bottom of screen that first says TC failure, then changes to ECU failure. The Engine warning light is displayed as well as the TC warning light. Sometimes it stays running other times it shuts off. This problem has been going on for several months even before the e-throttle recall was performed and has continued since that recall fix was applied. I have pictures of the screen and a video of it occurring.

What 2023 Ktm 1290 Super Adventure S owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The gas gauge has not worked since bought new in August 2024. This bike has been in dealers for months on end, half the time I've owned it. It is a lemon if that applies to motorcycles. I would like KTM to buy it back.
