What to do if my KTM 1290 Super Adventure engine turns but does not start?
If your KTM Motorcycle engine turns but doesn't start, it might be due to a fault in the fuel injection system (read out the fault memory using the KTM diagnostics tool) or insufficient fuel quality (add suitable fuel).
Why does my KTM 1290 Super Adventure engine turn only if the clutch lever is drawn?
If your KTM Motorcycle engine only turns when the clutch lever is drawn, it could be because the vehicle is in gear (shift the transmission to idle) or due to a faulty safety start system (read out the fault memory using the KTM diagnostics tool).
Why does my KTM 1290 Super Adventure Motorcycle engine turn although a gear is engaged?
If your KTM Motorcycle engine turns even when a gear is engaged, it indicates a fault in the safety start system. To address this, read out the fault memory using the KTM diagnostics tool.
What to do if my KTM Motorcycle engine does not crank when pressing the electric starter button?
If your KTM Motorcycle engine isn't cranking when you press the electric starter, it could be due to several reasons. The emergency OFF switch might be off, so ensure it's in the ON position. You might be making an operating error, so review and carry out the start procedure. The battery could be discharged, so recharge it and check the open-circuit current. Other potential causes include a faulty safety start system, the ICU not being enabled, a CAN bus communication error, or a fault in the EFI or MCU control unit.

You may have an operating error, in this case you should carry out the start procedure. The battery might be discharged, so recharge it and check the open-circuit current. Other potential causes include a faulty safety start system, in this case you should read out the fault memory using the KTM diagnostics tool, an ICU that is not enabled (activate the ICU), a CAN bus communication error (read out the fault memory using the KTM diagnostics tool), a fault in the EFI control unit or in the MCU control unit (in both cases, read out the fault memory using the KTM diagnostics tool).
Why is my KTM 1290 Super Adventure battery discharged?
Your KTM Motorcycle battery might be discharged for several reasons: a power consumer connected to the socket/ACC1 (disconnect the power consumer and recharge the battery), the hazard warning flasher being switched on (switch it off and recharge the battery), the battery not being charged by the alternator (check the charging voltage), or the ignition not being switched off when the vehicle was parked (recharge the battery).
