Two independent safety organizations reported issues about the fuel line of the 2014 model year Super Duke R. As NHTSA and Transport Canada says, one of the overflow pipes of the bike’s fuel tank might have been manufactured incorrectly. This error could lead to a potential fuel leak.<\/p>\n

If that happens, riders could be exposed to easily-flammable fumes and the risk of a vehicle fire increase significantly. Due to the enormous amount of heat of the v-twin, these fumes can be ignited in a matter of seconds. KTM dealers will inspect affected models and make repairs.<\/p>\n

According to NHTSA, there can be another problem with the Super Duke R: an element of the oil filter and its core can collapse, \u201estarving\u201d the engine of filtered oil at the most critical time, during new engine break-in. KTM didn\u2019t announce any recalls about this issue.<\/p>\n
