What to do if KTM Motorcycle engine turns but does not start?
- T
  Timothy SullivanAug 17, 2025
  If your KTM Motorcycle engine turns over but doesn't start, consider these potential causes: Ensure you are following the correct start procedure. Check the plug-in connection of the fuel hose to make sure it's connected. Examine fuses 1 and 4 and replace them if they're blown. Adjust the idle speed if it's not set correctly. If the spark plug is oily or wet, clean and dry it, or replace it if needed. Also, verify that the spark plug electrode gap is correctly adjusted to 1.0 mm (0.039 in). Other potential issues could be a defective ignition system, a frayed short-circuit cable in the wiring harness, a defective kill switch or emergency OFF switch, or a defect in the fuel injection system, which would require using the KTM diagnostics tool to read the fault memory.

What to do if KTM 350 EXC-F 2019 Motorcycle engine does not speed up?
- A
  Aaron DixonAug 23, 2025
  If your KTM Motorcycle engine isn't speeding up as expected, it could be due to a defect in the fuel injection system, requiring you to read the fault memory using the KTM diagnostics tool. Another potential cause is a defective ignition system, so you should check the secondary winding of the ignition coil, the spark plug connector, and the stator winding of the alternator.

What to do if my KTM Motorcycle engine cannot be cranked?
- X
  Xavier NobleAug 26, 2025
  If your KTM Motorcycle engine won't crank, it could be due to several reasons. You may need to follow the start procedure. The battery might be discharged, requiring you to recharge it, check the charging voltage, the open-circuit current, and the alternator's stator winding. A blown main fuse could also be the culprit, so replace it. Alternatively, the starter relay or the starter motor itself might be defective, requiring inspection.

Why does my KTM 350 EXC-F 2019 Motorcycle engine overheat?
- J
  Jonathan FischerAug 28, 2025
  Your KTM Motorcycle engine might be overheating because the coolant level in the cooling system is low, so check for leaks and verify the coolant level. Insufficient airflow can also cause overheating, so switch off the engine when stationary. Dirty radiator fins can impede cooling, so clean them. Foam formation in the cooling system can also be a factor; drain and refill the coolant. A bent radiator hose should be replaced, and a defective thermostat should be checked, noting the guideline opening temperature of 70 °C (158 °F). If you have an EXC?F Six Days model, a defect in the radiator fan system could be the issue; check the radiator fan fuse, fuse 4, and the radiator fan itself.

Why KTM Motorcycle has high oil consumption?
- L
  Leonard OsborneAug 31, 2025
  High oil consumption in your KTM Motorcycle could stem from several factors. A bent engine vent hose can cause this, so ensure it's routed without bends or replace it if necessary. An engine oil level that's too high can also contribute, so check and adjust it. Using engine oil that's too thin (low viscosity) can lead to increased consumption, so change the engine oil and filter, and clean the oil screen. Lastly, worn piston and cylinder can be responsible, requiring you to measure the piston/cylinder mounting clearance.

What to do if malfunction indicator lamp lights up or flashes on KTM 350 EXC-F 2019 Motorcycle?
- J
  Jennifer SimpsonSep 2, 2025
  If the malfunction indicator lamp lights up or flashes on your KTM Motorcycle, it indicates a defect in the fuel injection system. Begin by checking the cabling for damage and the electrical plug-in connections for corrosion and damage. Also, read the fault memory using the KTM diagnostics tool.

Why KTM 350 EXC-F 2019 Motorcycle engine has too little power?
- W
  William AdamsSep 5, 2025
  If your KTM Motorcycle engine has too little power, consider these potential causes: a heavily contaminated air filter, which requires cleaning of the air filter and air filter box; a very dirty fuel filter, which necessitates changing the fuel filter; a very dirty fuel screen, which also needs changing; or a defect in the fuel injection system, for which you should read the fault memory using the KTM diagnostics tool.

Why KTM Motorcycle battery discharged?
- J
  Jack AndersonSep 8, 2025
  A discharged battery on your KTM Motorcycle can occur if the alternator is not charging the battery, requiring you to check the charging voltage and the stator winding of the alternator. Another reason can be an undesired power consumer, so check the open-circuit current.

What to do if the high beam, low beam, tail light, position light, and license plate lamp are not working on KTM Motorcycle?
- M
  Marie ScottSep 12, 2025
  If the high beam, low beam, tail light, position light, and license plate lamp are not working on your KTM Motorcycle, it is likely due to a blown fuse 2. Replace the fuse.
