Is your KTM 390 Adventure or Duke Engine Stalling?

Is your KTM 390 Adventure or Duke Engine Stalling?

If your KTM 390 Adventure or any other KTM motorcycle has stalling issues or erratic rpm fluctuations, you must watch this video.

My motorcycle had certain issues of rpm fluctuations and also engine stalling at lower rpms for a few months now.

Very many times while taking a U turn or while approaching a red light, the bike would simply stall. Such an engine stalling could be a dangerous thing while riding in busy traffic.

During the recent winter mornings, I saw very erratic rpm fluctuations and also engine stalling very often.

Earlier KTM workshop made an attempt to rectify the stalling issue along with a software update however problem of engine stalling carried on.

On 30 Nov 2021, when I visited the KTM workshop, Mayapuri, they had a very clear answer to this long pending issue and same was rectified completely in just about 20 minutes.

Actually this rectification involved cleaning of throttle body with a special liquid called the Intake Air System cleaner. The most important thing was about injecting this liquid under very high air pressure and by a special nozzle. The spraying of cleaner with running engine at various rpms for about 5 minutes insured proper cleaning of the throttle body and associated intake and exhaust system. The exhaust fumes smelled bad indicating a thorough cleaning of the intake system.

After this high pressure throttle body cleaning, engine rpm became quite stable and bike performed like a brand new machine without any engine stalling.

My KTM390 Adventure had done just about 6500 kms and as per the KTM service team now this task is performed on every motorcycle after around 5 to 6000 kms.

So if you are still facing any issue with respect to engine stalling or erratic rpm fluctuations, you may wish to visit any KTM workshop which has this special spraying device and the supplied Intake Air System cleaning liquid.

Jai Hind and ride safe.
