Kick stand / Side Stand issues

Bought the 390 Adventure S 5 days ago, pre-delivery inspection went well too. Had no issues during that. From the third day onwards, I kept getting side stand down errors on the bike, couldn't start it, even when the stand was fully up. Created a workaround for it, I'd put up the stand gently like 5 times or more, only then would the warning go away. Sometimes after taking bumps it would pop up and the engine would cut off (almost crashed once because the wheel locked up).

Visited the service center yesterday, they said it was a common issue on the S and the R variant. They did some work, free of charge. It was gone only for a few hours literally. Any one else having this issue? How did you get it fixed? I'll visit the service center again this coming Monday.

Waiting period on the 390

Hi everyone, after owning a RE Interceptor 650/Bullet 350 for six years, I recently decided to switch to KTM.

​My friend and I both booked our next bikes on April 12th. He bought a Himalayan 450 and received it by April 27th. I went with the 390 Adv S and am still waiting. For context, I only waited 12 days for my Interceptor.

​Is this a normal waiting period? I spoke to the dealer last week, and they couldn't give me an ETA for the next batch. They claimed that 390 production has slowed down, while the 250s and 350s are still arriving regularly.

Is anyone else awaiting delivery for the Adv 390?
