Summary

KTM North America, Inc. has determined that a deviation has been found with the shift shaft stop of certain 2020 1290 Super Duke R models. On affected VIN’s the shift shaft stop may not be the proper length intended during gear changes. During operation this could cause the motorcycle to feel hard to shift. To remedy this the shift shaft must be replaced with a new revised version. The revised shift shaft P.N. 61734005044 (Fig.1) has a new additional stop which is pictured in the bulletin.

Owners of these vehicles have filed 2 complaints in the engine category.
