Why does my KTM 690 SMC EU Motorcycle engine turns only if the clutch lever is drawn?
- A
  Adam MossSep 1, 2025
  If your KTM Motorcycle engine only turns when the clutch lever is drawn, it is likely because the vehicle is in gear. Shift the gear to neutral. It could also be that the vehicle is in gear and the side stand is folded out, so shift to neutral. Alternatively, there could be a defect in the safety start system, which needs to be checked.
