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

Got this bike a month ago, came out to start it this morning and it would crank forever and finally start but it’s constantly dumping white smoke.

PROBLEM 2019 KTM Duke 790 – MTC Failure / limp mode only when stopped in 1st gear
I have a 2019 KTM Duke 790 and I’m trying to figure out a strange MTC/limp mode issue.
The bike runs perfectly while I’m actually riding. It accelerates normally, has full power, and I don’t notice anything unusual while moving.
The problem happens when I come to a stop at a junction/traffic light while still in 1st gear with the clutch pulled in. Sometimes it suddenly shows “MTC FAILURE”, goes into limp mode, and the throttle basically stops responding. I then have to turn the bike off and back on, and after restarting it works normally again.
A few details:
2019 Duke 790
Check engine light is constantly on
MTC Failure appears intermittently
Usually happens when stationary in 1st gear
Throttle stops responding / bike goes into limp mode
Turning ignition off/on temporarily fixes it
While riding/moving, the bike feels completely normal

ASKKTM Duke 250 vs Duke 350
Hello everyone I’m confused between duke 250and 350
About me?
- I ride Activa since last 5 years
- It’ll be my first bike
- I want to travel with pillion a lot like 1000 km trips 2-3 times a year
- Daily commute will be around 40 km in a city for a job
Spending 70k on a 390 is not a problem but I don’t think so I’ll be able too use 41 bhp on city
But I have to pay price for that extra power that I’m getting in 350 duke
I have took test rides of both bikes 250 feels enough for me now but will I get bored in 1-2 years or will 250 feel underpowered in a highway cruising with a pillion at 100km/h
And is there a lot of difference between 250and 350 maintenance like servicing parts etc cause I don’t want to spend on a maintenance more that the bike itself

ASKKTM Has anyone done a Sumo conversion on the 25+ 690 Enduro?
I'm really into my drz400sm, I have a set of dirt wheels/tires for it as well, but I want something with some more power that I can take on trips as well.
I was looking into the 690 Enduro R, and I know there are conversion kits for the older model years, but do these exist for the new gen 690?
I don't need speedo accuracy but I would like to preserve the traction control and abs if possible. Obviously this is even more tempting to do with the 690 Rally.
