What to do if KTM 640 DUKE II Motorcycle engine cranks but doesn’t start?
- J
  Jennifer RobinsonAug 20, 2025
  If your KTM Motorcycle engine cranks but doesn’t start, it could be due to a few reasons. It could be an operating error, so open the fuel tap. If the motorcycle has been out of operation for a longer period of time, drain the old fuel from the float chamber. If the fuel supply is interrupted, loosen the fuel hose at the carburetor to check fuel flow, and inspect the tank ventilation. If the engine is flooded, fully open the throttle when starting, or replace a sooty or wet spark plug. Adjust the spark plug electrode gap to 0.9 mm, or replace the spark plug. Inspect the ignition system, clean the plug connection, or dismount and clean the carburetor.

  If your KTM Motorcycle engine doesn’t crank, it could be due to an operating error, a discharged battery, or a defect in the ignition lock or emergency OFF switch. First, turn on the ignition, switch the gear to neutral, and switch the emergency OFF switch on.

Why is my KTM 640 DUKE II Motorcycle engine overheating?
- A
  Andrew SchneiderAug 25, 2025
  If your KTM Motorcycle's engine overheats, it could be due to several reasons. You might have insufficient cooling liquid, so refill it and check for leaks in the cooling system. The radiator fins could be extremely dirty, requiring cleaning with a water jet. Foam might be forming in the cooling system, suggesting the need to replace the cooling liquid with antifreeze. Look for bent radiator hoses and either shorten or replace them. The thermostat could be defective, so remove and check it, replacing if necessary. A blown fan fuse could be the culprit, so replace it and check if the fan operates properly. Finally, the thermoswitch or the fan itself could be defective, requiring a check to see if the fan operates properly by bypassing the connections to the thermoswitch.

Why KTM Motorcycle engine will not reach full power?
- J
  Jonathan LaneAug 26, 2025
  If your KTM Motorcycle engine won't reach full power, the fuel supply might be partially interrupted, or the carburetor could be dirty, so you should clean and check the fuel system and carburetor. Alternatively, the float could be leaking, in which case you should replace it. A defective membrane of the slide could also be the problem, so replace the membrane. Inspect the vacuum hose and venting hoses of the carburetor for correct positioning. If the air filter is very dirty, clean or replace it. If the valve clearance is too small, have it adjusted. Check the setting of the hand decompression cable. Finally, the electronic ignition timing could be faulty, so have the ignition system checked.

What to do if KTM 640 DUKE II engine doesn't crank and the neutral indicator lamp doesn't light up?

  ian76Aug 28, 2025
  If your KTM Motorcycle engine doesn't crank and the neutral indicator lamp doesn't light up, it could be due to a blown fuse in the safe-starting system or a blown main fuse. Replace the fuse located below the headlight mask. If that doesn't solve the issue, remove the seat and replace the main fuse. If the fuse blows again, it is recommended to contact a KTM dealer.

Why KTM 640 DUKE II Motorcycle engine does not rev high?
- R
  Richard LunaAug 30, 2025
  If your KTM Motorcycle engine does not rev high, the carburetor fuel level might be too high because the float needle is dirty or worn out, or the float leaks. The cold starting system could be permanently activated due to a lack of play in the choke cable, or the membrane of the slide could be defective. The carburetor might be leaking, or the carburetor jets could be loose. Finally, the electronic ignition timing might be faulty. Dismount the carburetor and check if it is worn out. Replace the float needle or the float. Adjust the choke cable. Replace the membrane. Check the vacuum hose and venting hoses of the carburetor for correct positioning. Tighten the jets. Have the ignition system checked.

Why does my KTM 640 DUKE II have high oil consumption?
- O
  Olivia Reyes DVMSep 1, 2025
  If your KTM Motorcycle has high oil consumption, it could be due to a buckling gear ventilation hose, an engine oil level that is too high, or engine oil that is too thin. Readjust or replace the ventilation hose. Check the engine oil level when the engine is warm and correct if necessary. Use a thicker engine oil.
