  If the BRABUS Motorcycle engine turns but fails to start, there might be several reasons. First, ensure the quick release coupling is correctly joined. Secondly, the fuel quality might be insufficient, in that case add suitable fuel. If these steps don't resolve the issue, there may be a malfunction in the electronic fuel injection, which requires reading out the fault memory using the KTM diagnostics tool.

  If the 12-V battery of your BRABUS Motorcycle is discharged, several factors could be the reason. Make sure the hazard warning flasher is switched off. Check the charging voltage, as the battery may not be charging by the alternator. Also, ensure the ignition was switched off when the vehicle was parked. If not, charge the 12-V battery.

  Jacob GibbsAug 13, 2025
  If the ABS warning lamp lights up on your BRABUS Motorcycle, it could be due to several reasons. One potential cause is a blown ABS fuse, which requires changing the fuses in the fuse box. Another reason might be a large difference in wheel speeds between the front and rear wheels; in this case, stop the vehicle, switch off the ignition, and start it again. If the problem persists, there may be a malfunction in the ABS, and you will need to read out the fault memory using the KTM diagnostics tool.

Why does my BRABUS 1300R 2022 Motorcycle have high oil consumption?
- A
  Angela Taylor DDSAug 18, 2025
  High oil consumption in your BRABUS Motorcycle may be caused by the engine oil level being too high, so check the engine oil level. Another cause might be that the engine oil is too thin (low viscosity), in that case change the engine oil and the oil filter, and clean the oil screens.
