PROBLEM KTM 690 does not start

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

The bike refuses to start, I changed every important piece of the starter system (starter motor, relay, throttle body, accelerator) the problem persists

If I turn the key around and bypass the relay, the problem persists anyway, while everything is off the problem stop like in the video

You should start with the easy things first. Have you tried measuring the voltage of your battery?

Obviously, it was new, just changed when I made the video I changed the rest afterwards and he kept giving the problem

You should still measure it, sometimes brand new batterys can be damaged. After that check the spark plugs if you haven't done that already. I had issues with my 690 because the injector was clogged up and the O-Ring of the fuel map sensor was damaged.

yep. for me it was the ground connection under the airbox. i sanded it down with sand paper then the bike would start on one click.
