If your KTM Motorcycle engine cranks but doesn't start, check if fuse 5 is blown and replace it if necessary. Ensure the coupling of the fuel hose connection is properly joined.

What to do if my KTM 2008 1190 RC8 USA engine doesn't crank?
If your KTM Motorcycle engine doesn't crank when you press the electric starter, several factors could be at play. It could be due to an operating error, so make sure to follow the correct starting procedure. The battery might be discharged, requiring a recharge. A blown fuse (1 or 6, or the main fuse) could also be the culprit, necessitating a fuse replacement. Other potential causes include a defective ignition/steering lock or emergency OFF switch, a faulty safety start system, an active immobilizer (read the flash code), an unactivated EFI control unit (activate it), a CAN-Bus communication malfunction (check the communication), or a defective combination instrument (check the instrument).
