  If the KTM Motorcycle engine doesn't turn when you press the start button, several factors could be at play. It might be due to an operating error, so ensure you're following the correct start procedure. The 12V battery could be discharged, requiring a charge and a check of the open-circuit current.

Why does my KTM 890 Duke R US 2020 Motorcycle engine overheat?
- C
  Crystal HarveyAug 25, 2025
  Several reasons may cause your KTM Motorcycle engine to overheat. There might be too little coolant in the cooling system, possibly due to a leak, so check the system and coolant level. Dirty radiator fins can also cause overheating, so clean them. Other potential causes include foam formation in the cooling system (in which case, drain and refill/bleed the system), a buckled or damaged radiator hose (replace it), a faulty thermostat (check it), a blown fuse 4 (replace it), or a defect in the radiator fan system (check the system).

  If the ABS warning lamp lights up on your KTM Motorcycle, it could indicate a few issues. The ABS fuse might be blown, so you should replace the ABS fuses. It could also mean there's a large difference in wheel speeds between the front and rear wheels; in this case, stop the vehicle, switch off the ignition, and start it again. Another possibility is a malfunction in the ABS.

  High oil consumption in your KTM Motorcycle could stem from several causes. The engine vent hose might be bent, so ensure it's routed without bends, or replace it if necessary. The engine oil level might be too high, so check it. Also, the engine oil might be too thin (low viscosity), so change the engine oil and the oil filter, and clean the oil screens.

Why does my KTM Motorcycle engine only turn if the clutch lever is drawn?
- A
  alexanderobrienSep 7, 2025
  If your KTM Motorcycle engine only turns when the clutch lever is drawn, it's likely because the vehicle is in gear. Shift the transmission to neutral position. It could also be that the vehicle is in gear and the side stand is folded out; in that case, shift the transmission to neutral position.
