The 2018 KTM 690 Enduro R has 2 recalls, both centered on the same clutch slave cylinder defect where a damaged internal gasket can prevent the clutch from disengaging when you pull the lever.
When the clutch fails to release, the motorcycle can keep moving forward even as you try to stop, and it can lurch forward unexpectedly when starting if the transmission is not in neutral, raising the risk of losing control or being thrown from the bike.
