Why is my KTM Motorcycle engine overheating?

  kkeithAug 21, 2025
  If the engine of your KTM Motorcycle overheats, it could be due to several reasons. You might have too little coolant in the cooling system, in which case you should check for leaks and verify the antifreeze and coolant level. Dirty radiator fins can also cause overheating, so ensure they are clean. Other potential causes include foam formation or air in the cooling system, a buckled or damaged radiator hose (which should be replaced), a blown FAN fuse (replace it), a defective thermostat (check it), or a defect in the radiator fan system (check it).

  If the engine of your KTM Motorcycle doesn't turn when you press the starter button, it could be due to several reasons. You may need to follow the correct start procedure. The battery might be discharged, so recharge it. A fuse (IGNITION, FUEL PUMP, or POWER RELAY) could be blown, so replace it. The main fuse might also be burned out, so replace that as well. Other potential issues include a defective ignition/steering lock or emergency OFF switch (check them), a defect in the safety start system (check it), an unactivated immobilizer control unit (activate it), a malfunction in CAN bus communication (check it), a defective combination instrument (check it), or a defective control unit for the electric start lock (check it).

Why does my KTM Motorcycle have low power?
- S
  Sandra MartinezAug 27, 2025
  If your KTM Motorcycle has too little power, the air filter may be very dirty, so change it. There could also be a defect in the fuel injection system; use the KTM diagnostics tool to read out the fault memory. Another possibility is that the ignition curve for low octane fuel is activated, so refuel with fuel with an octane rating of 95 or higher and connect the plug-in connector.

  If the engine of your KTM Motorcycle turns only when the clutch lever is drawn, it could be because the vehicle is in gear, so shift the transmission to neutral. It could also be due to a defect in the safety start system, so check the safety start system.
