Why does my KTM 1290 Super Duke GT Motorcycle have high oil consumption?
High oil consumption in your KTM Motorcycle could be due to the engine oil level being too high, so check the engine oil level. It may also be caused by the engine oil being too thin (low viscosity); in this case, change the engine oil and oil filter and clean the oil screens.
What to do if my KTM 1290 Super Duke GT Motorcycle turns over but won't start?
If your KTM Motorcycle engine turns but does not start, it could be due to a defect in the fuel injection system, which requires reading out the fault memory using the KTM diagnostics tool. Another cause might be insufficient fuel quality, so add suitable fuel.
