What to do if my KTM 690 Duke Motorcycle engine dies during the journey?
If your KTM Motorcycle engine dies during a journey, it could be due to a lack of fuel, so you should fill up the tank. Alternatively, fuse 1, 2, or 4 might be blown, and you should replace the affected fuse.
What to do if my KTM 690 Duke engine does not turn when pressing the electric starter button?
If the KTM Motorcycle engine does not turn when you press the electric starter button, it may be due to several reasons. First, ensure you are following the correct starting procedure. If that's not the issue, the battery might be discharged and needs recharging, and you should identify the cause of the discharge. Also, check if any of the fuses (1, 2, 3, or 4) or the main fuse are blown and replace them if necessary. If the problem persists, the ignition/steering lock, the emergency OFF switch, or the safety start system may be defective and require professional inspection.
