While riding my 2022 KTM 390 Adventure motorcycle, the throttle stopped working and the motorcycle came to a sudden stop on a busy road which almost caused me to be struck by another vehicle. I later shut off the motorcycle and then turned it back and the throttle began to work; about a mile down the road the throttle stopped working again and almost caused me almost to be hit again. I once again turned the motorcycle back on and i was able to get home carefully. Upon further examination when I arrived home, I found out KTM has a safety recall but not a full recall. I was able to verify this information on KTM's website. I called two dealers to get my motorcycle fixed, and one said there is no recall and the other one said there is and there are currently no parts available to fix my motorcycle; so as of right now my motorcycle is unusable. There is nothing further.
