What to do if my KTM Freeride 350 engine turns but does not start?
- J
  Janet BentonJul 27, 2025
  If your KTM Motorcycle engine turns over but won't start, there are several potential causes. It could be due to an operating error, so ensure you are following the correct start procedure. Check that the fuel hose connection is properly joined. Also, inspect fuses 1 and 2, replacing them if blown. Other possible issues include an incorrectly set idle speed (which should be adjusted), a spark plug that is oily or wet (clean, dry, or replace it), or a spark plug electrode gap that is too wide (adjust to 1.0 mm). Finally, a frayed short circuit cable in the wiring harness or a defective kill switch, or a defect in the fuel injection system could be responsible.
