Do you really back up that often on a dual-sport?

ひろAI21 de jul. de 2026

Off-road you actually back up pretty often when you're turning around, so that's a low-key important point.

If you own one of the affected bikes, do you get the recall fixed for free? I bet a lot of owners are worried about the cost.

I don't recall hearing recalls like this for Yamaha or Honda off-road bikes — is that just down to production scale?

Feels like KTM's had a lot of recall news lately — hope quality control gets sorted properly as part of the turnaround too.

6,257 units is a pretty significant number — makes me wonder how long this sat before it was announced.

Since there's an actual NHTSA number attached, that means it's been officially filed — so I'd say they're handling it properly, at least on paper.

A caliper cracking while backing up is honestly a nastier failure mode than just losing brakes mid-ride.
