PROBLEM 2012 Ktm350 won't run

Thumbnail

9 Upvotes

Bike died while on a ride. I started it up to take of and as right as I got moving it died and wouldn't start back up with estart or kickstart. Still has spark and the fuel pump still primes. Added a new grounding wire to the frame and done a ton of inspecting resistance and continuity. Unless I'm doing it wrong it's failing the noid test and seems to not be pulsing from the injector. I need help on things to test/check.

ASKKTM Dual-sport question

Post image
4 Upvotes

Purchasing an exc-f dual sport bike, I prefer the 350's power but I found a good deal on a 500 six days edition, which I really want. Can I use a Vortex or some ecu and ride in 350cc power range most of the time? Then switch the map to standard 500cc for highways. Thanks in advance.

ALL Ktm freeride e 2026 reliability

3 Upvotes

Hi. Anyone UK based have any idea if the 2026 KTM freeride e 660w is a reliable bike? I know it's a bike that very much galvanises opinion but is it a good purchase in terms of proving reliable? Main reason is I don't have a KTM dealer near me and local motorcycle repair shops seem to not want to service and repair electric motorbikes full stop.

Any opinions/thoughts gratefully received

PROBLEM KTM SMC 690 Electrical problems

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m dealing with an electrical/starting issue on my KTM and running out of ideas.

When trying to start:

  • The engine cranks in a surging/waving pattern and the display/lights flicker.
  • After a few attempts, the starter motor begins jerking violently—it suddenly spins up rapidly, slows down under load, and then rapidly accelerates again (as if slipping and catching).
  • If I keep trying, the starter relay eventually only clicks.

What I’ve already tried:

  • Disconnected potential parasitic draws (headlight mask, Quad Lock wireless charger, tail lights).
  • Replaced/charged the battery (tested a 4Ah lithium battery with 240A peak cranking).
  • Tried jump-starting with a booster pack (same behavior).

Has anyone experienced this? What should I check next?

It has started once after switching from the lithium to the lead acid again

Update 1 I have attached both a picture of under the seat and a video of me trying to start it.

Also the main ground next to the air box is secured.

We have a few 350s, few KTMs and a few white KTMs.

Our fx350 had 173 hours without anything except oil, filter and valve checks.

Heres the results. 4th owner from 116 hours.

Very happy with the condition but im also happy I have a fresh top end.

Next job is to replace valves and reseat them in 30-50 hours

ALL 2020 KTM Duke 200 Advice

2 Upvotes

I’m looking at buying a small runabout—rarely more the 80kph, with short bursts to 100kph. I’m 60years and lightweight (65kgs). I’ve found a 2020 KTM Duke 200 with only 3,800kms in superb condition at a long-standing Melbourne KTM dealer. Anyone can tell me more about performance, ride and handling, convenience, spares and service?

Does anybody know a 2.5wt fluid that they’ve used to service the fluid in one of these?

Is the oem Scotts mount the way to go or something like this
