  Bike does not start properly. Often it takes several tries, but if it does start and I attempt to drive away in the time normal frame any other bike I have owned, it will stall potentially, not allow me to quickly restart and I could have traffic coming from behind me putting me at risk. It has also failed to start a few times requiring a tow, not safety related I know, but for a brand new bike in 2021, something is not right. Finally this is a 2021 890 Adventure, not the 790 that was displayed when I entered the VIN

If it is not positioned correctly it must be adjusted and corrected. On affected VINs if the silencer clamp is mounted incorrectly as shown in Fig.1 the clamp may come in contact with the protective sheathing on the rear brake line, the brake hose bracket or the swingarm during heavy compression of the suspension and with excessive payload. Please check that the clamp is mounted correctly as shown in Fig.2 at the transition between the presilencer and silencer.
