If your KTM Motorcycle engine turns but doesn't start, it could be due to a disconnected fuel hose, so connect the plug-in connection of the fuel line. The fuel screen in the fuel hose connection might be clogged, requiring a replacement. Incorrect idle speed may be the issue, so adjust it. Also, check if the spark plug is oily or wet – clean and dry it, or replace it if needed. Ensure the spark plug electrode distance (plug gap) is correct; the guideline is 0.8 mm (0.031 in). Inspect the wiring harness for frayed short circuit cables and check the kill switch. Finally, a defect in the fuel injection system could be the cause, requiring a readout of the fault memory using the KTM diagnostics tool.

Several factors can prevent your KTM Motorcycle engine from turning on. These include:
* **Operating error**: Ensure you are following the correct start procedure.
* **Discharged battery**: Recharge the battery and check the charging voltage, open-circuit current and the alternator's stator winding.
* **Blown main fuse**: Replace the main fuse.
* **Defective starter relay**: Inspect the starter relay.
* **Defective starter motor**: Examine the starter motor.

If your KTM Motorcycle engine has too little power, several factors could be responsible. A very dirty air filter requires cleaning of the air filter and air filter box. A very dirty fuel filter needs replacement. A defect in the fuel injection system may be present, requiring a readout of the fault memory using the KTM diagnostics tool. The exhaust system might be leaky or deformed, or the main silencer may have too little glass fiber yarn filling, so check for damage and replace the glass fiber yarn filling if needed. Finally, insufficient valve clearance could be the cause, requiring adjustment.

If your KTM Motorcycle engine overheats, it could be due to several reasons. Check for coolant leaks and ensure the coolant level is correct. Insufficient airflow can also cause overheating, so switch off the engine when standing. Dirty radiator fins should be cleaned. Foam formation in the cooling system requires draining and refilling the coolant. Finally, inspect the radiator hose for bends and replace if necessary.

If your KTM Motorcycle engine turns but doesn't start, check the following: ensure the fuel hose connection is properly joined. If the fuel screen in the fuel hose connection is clogged, replace it. Adjust the idle speed if it's not set correctly. Clean or replace oily or wet spark plugs, and adjust the plug gap to 0.8 mm (0.031 in) if it's too wide. Check the wiring harness for frayed short circuit cables and the electrical system for defects. Finally, a defect in the fuel injection system may require reading out the fault memory using the KTM diagnostics tool.

If your KTM Motorcycle engine has too little power, start by cleaning the air filter and air filter box. If the fuel filter is very dirty, change it. A defect in the fuel injection system may require diagnosis with the KTM tool. Check the exhaust system for leaks or deformation, and replace the glass fiber yarn filling in the main silencer if needed. Lastly, make sure the valve clearance is properly adjusted.

If the FI warning lamp (MIL) lights up or flashes on your KTM Motorcycle, it indicates a defect in the fuel injection system. You should stop the motorcycle and identify the faulty part using the blink code. Also, check the cabling for damage and the electrical plug-in connections for corrosion and damage. If needed, read out the fault memory using the KTM diagnostics tool.

If your KTM Motorcycle has high oil consumption, check if the engine vent hose is bent and correct or replace it. Ensure the engine oil level isn't too high. If the engine oil is too thin (low viscosity), change the engine oil and oil filter, and clean the oil screen.
