What to do if my KTM 450 SX-F 2020 Motorcycle engine does not turn when the starter button is pressed?
If your KTM Motorcycle engine does not turn over when you press the starter button, it could be due to a few reasons. You might not be following the correct start procedure.

The starter relay or starter motor could be defective and require checking.
Why is my KTM 450 SX-F 2020 Motorcycle experiencing high oil consumption?
If your KTM Motorcycle has high oil consumption, check if the engine vent hose is bent and straighten it or replace it if necessary. Ensure the engine oil level isn't too high.

Check the spark plug; if it's oily or wet, clean and dry it, or replace it if necessary. The plug gap of the spark plug might be too wide, so adjust it to 0.8 mm (0.031 in). Finally, check the wiring harness and electrical system for frayed cables or a defective kill switch. If there is still a problem, use the KTM diagnostics tool to read out the fault memory.
