      If your KTM Motorcycle engine doesn't crank when you press the electric starter, several things could be the cause. First, make sure the emergency OFF switch is in the ON position. You might also need to follow the correct start procedure. Also, check if the battery is discharged and recharge it if necessary and check the quiescent current. Other potential problems could be a faulty safety start system, disabled ICU, or CAN bus communication error. In these cases you need to read out the fault memory using the KTM diagnostics tool. Also, a fault in the EFI or MCU control unit can cause this problem, and you need to read out the fault memory using the KTM diagnostics tool.
