What owners report
I have a 2025 KTM 390 Adventure R with 4500 miles on it. Numerous times the E-throttle has lost throttle response mid-ride, the engine drops to idle and the check engine light comes on. After pulling over, I restart the engine and it works as normal. It has happened on the freeway and was difficult to pull over to the side to remedy the problem.

Typically a short rattle or what sounds like valves knocking, is followed by a backfire, prior to stalling. There is no way to prevent stalling/engine stopping unless RPM's are kept over 3,000. I have fallen over or crashed offroad several times, when navigating obstacles or nego
