After opening its factory in Manaus and during the first year under the administration of Bajaj do Brasil, KTM has announced a maintenance scheme with predefined costs for the 390 Adventure R and 390 Adventure X models, which recently arrived in stores. The objective of this initiative is to offer the consumer a totalized value for scheduled maintenance even before they visit the dealership.
The values stipulated this week cover labor, original parts, lubricants, taxes, and all other materials foreseen in each service, ensuring that there will be no additional charges for items included in the review.
Although there is a price difference between the two versions—the 390 Adventure X costs R$ 33,990 and the 390 Adventure R, R$ 37,990—the maintenance table is identical for both, since the models share the same mechanical base and differ in details that do not impact engine servicing.
The maintenance schedule begins at 1,000 km or after three months of use. Subsequently, the intervals become 10,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first. In total, the six visits to the dealership amount to R$ 6,740, which is equivalent to approximately R$ 0.13 per kilometer driven, or about 20% of the cost of the X version. The most expensive services are the third and fifth, as they concentrate the most complex inspections and replacements in the plan.
Components subject to variation depend on mileage and time of use and may include oil and oil filter, air filter, spark plug, brake fluid, drain plug washer, as well as chain checks and lubrication, specific phase inspections, and software updates when necessary.
An important point not highlighted in KTM's official statement is that this plan is valid for services performed until December 31, 2026, and the applied prices will be those in effect on the date of the service. After this period, the values are subject to readjustment.
In practice, the buyer who acquires the motorcycle at this time has certainty of the price only for the first review and, at most, for the second, if they travel 10,000 km in two months. For reviews from the second to the fifth, the table serves more as an estimate of the cost of ownership than as a fixed price. Items such as tires, brake pads and discs, transmission, clutch, and battery are not included in the fixed values, unless the specific review determines their replacement. Services such as washing, transportation, and others are also excluded.
Motorcycles used in extreme conditions may require shorter intervals, extra inspections, or early replacements, as indicated in the owner's manual, and such needs are not covered by the disclosed prices. If the dealership identifies additional repairs, it must provide a detailed quote beforehand and only proceed with the service upon customer authorization.
Both trail motorcycles have four years of factory warranty, provided that the maintenance plan is followed at an authorized dealership. This period exceeds the industry average but ties the owner to the KTM network, which is still expanding in the country, with the brand itself emphasizing the strengthening of dealerships as a priority in this new phase with Bajaj.
