  If the malfunction indicator lamp lights up or flashes on your KTM Motorcycle, it could be due to an error in the electronic fuel injection. Stop the motorcycle and identify the faulty component using the blink code. Inspect the wiring for damage and check the electrical plug-in connectors for corrosion and damage. You can also read out the fault memory using the KTM diagnostics tool.

Why does my KTM 500EXC-F 2023 engine overheat?
- M
  Madeline GardnerAug 18, 2025
  If your KTM Motorcycle engine overheats, several factors could be the cause. First, check if the coolant level is low in the cooling system and inspect the system for leaks. Ensure sufficient airflow by switching off the engine when stationary. Clean any dirt from the radiator fins. Other potential causes include foam formation in the cooling system (in which case you should drain and refill the coolant), a bent radiator hose (replace it), a defective thermostat (check it; guideline opening temperature: 70 °C (158 °F)), or a defect in the radiator fan system (check the radiator fan fuse and the radiator fan itself).

  If your KTM Motorcycle engine has too little power, the ignition system may be defective. 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 500EXC-F 2023 engine dies while riding?
- A
  Andrew DeanAug 26, 2025
  If your KTM Motorcycle engine dies during the trip, it could be due to a lack of fuel, so refuel. Alternatively, Fuse 1 or Fuse 4 might be blown, in which case you should change the fuses of individual electrical power consumers.

Why does my KTM 500EXC-F 2023 Motorcycle have high oil consumption?
- J
  Jose AndersonAug 28, 2025
  High oil consumption in your KTM Motorcycle can stem from several issues. The engine vent hose might be bent (route it without bends or replace it if necessary). The engine oil level might be too high (check the engine oil level). The engine oil might be too thin (low viscosity), so change the engine oil and the oil filter, and clean the oil screens. Finally, the piston and cylinder might be worn (measure the piston/cylinder mounting clearance).

Why is my KTM Motorcycle battery discharging?
- C
  Craig BurchSep 7, 2025
  If your KTM Motorcycle 12-V battery is discharged, it could be because the 12-V battery is not being charged by the alternator. Check the charging voltage and the stator winding of the alternator. It could also be due to an unwanted electrical power consumer, so check the open-circuit current.

Why are the values deleted in my KTM Motorcycle combination instrument?
- J
  Jonathan BrownSep 10, 2025
  If the values in the combination instrument (time, stop watch, lap times) are deleted on your KTM Motorcycle, the combination instrument battery is likely empty. Replace the combination instrument battery.
