Are people really right about the KTM 990 Supermoto R's maintenance being that bad?
The KTM 990 Supermoto R is known to be a high-maintenance machine, with some riders saying their machine spends more time in the garage than on the road. This, of course, has been a long-running topic of debate over whether the bike’s performance and character warrant the headaches associated with said maintenance. Others say the 990 SMR can be as reliable as any other bike if it's looked after properly and preventative maintenance is carried out. Some have horror stories of them breaking down frequently and costing a lot to repair. There is also discussion of the availability of parts and the cost of servicing compared to more common motorcycles. This question asks the real-world experiences of 990 SMR owners to see if the maintenance reputation is deserved or overblown and what a potential owner should expect in upkeep and reliability of their car.
People make it out to be worse than it is. Yes, it demands more care than a Japanese bike, but if you keep on top of maintenance, it's a pretty solid bike.
