Questions and Answers:

What to do if KTM 350 EXC-F 2015 engine turns but does not start?
- G
  Gary GarciaJul 27, 2025
  If your KTM Motorcycle's engine turns but doesn't start, several factors could be at play. It might be an operating error, so ensure you're following the correct start procedure. Another potential cause is a disconnected fuel hose; make sure the fuel hose connection is properly joined. Also, check if the idle speed is correctly set and adjust if necessary. Inspect the spark plug; if it's oily or wet, clean and dry it, or replace it if needed. Finally, verify the spark plug's electrode distance (plug gap) and adjust it to the recommended 0.8 mm (0.031 in) if it's too wide.

Why KTM 350 EXC-F 2015 engine cannot be cranked (electric starter)?
- F
  frobertsAug 15, 2025
  If the electric starter on your KTM Motorcycle isn't cranking the engine, it could be due to an operating error during the start procedure, so double-check that you are following the correct steps. Alternatively, the battery might be discharged, in which case you'll need to charge it.
