What to do if KTM Motorcycle engine turns but does not start?
- TTracy PettyAug 18, 2025
If your KTM Motorcycle engine turns over but doesn't start, it could be due to an operating error (ensure you're following the correct start procedure). Other potential reasons: the fuel hose connection isn't connected (connect it), fuse 1 or 4 is blown (replace the fuses), idle speed is not set correctly (adjust it), the spark plug is oily or wet (clean and dry it, or replace it), the spark plug gap is too wide (adjust it to 1.0 mm), the ignition system is defective (check it), there's a short-circuit cable in the wiring harness, or the switch-off button or emergency OFF switch is faulty (check the wiring harness and electrical system). Also, there might be an error in the electronic fuel injection (read the fault memory using the KTM diagnostics tool).
