Had this same exact problem with my ‘23 SMC R last spring. A little after I installed a PC6 from Rottweiler it blew fuse #2 and threw the p1685 code. I contacted Rottweiler who said I installed the power commander wrong. I checked, double checked, and tripled checked every plug on the PC6 to make sure it was right, cleared the code with my reader and went out for another ride… where I got stranded. The bike would run fine for about an hour but then suddenly it would cut the ignition, blow the fuse and leave me coasting looking for a place to swap a fuse roadside. I replaced every relay and the code would keep coming back and it blow another fuse so I put the bike back to stock form and it ran perfectly with no more codes or fuse problems. I ended up buying another PC6 from Rottweiler and it has been running perfectly for the last 5,000 miles. So long story short, it’s another power commander problem.
DUDE!! What the heck.. I hear nothing but horror stories about the damn powercommanders.. I'm glad you were able to get yours sorted but this is so common, I have already gone through 1 PCV and waiting for this one to take a dumb and get a PC6.. Then again I wish there was an easier option..
Had the same issue on my 690 enduro r (2022). Cant remember the fault code exactly, but the symptoms were the same as your issues. I found that it was the kick stand sensor that was detecting the stand being in the down position. I just wiggled the kickstand some, and let the bike sit with power off for about 15 minutes or so. Then I tried again, started up fine. Hasn't happened since. Might recommend getting the Vanasche kick stand dongle so that the fragile sensor no longer ruins a nice ride.
I looked that sucker up and it looks so cool! I have been looking for something like this for track weekends so I can just take my kick stand off. Are you running one now??
@@LifeWellRiddenI actually just had the issue happen the other day again. This time permanently. I did find a quick, easy, and free solution though! Simply remove the side stand sensor from the bottom of the bike, route the cable up under the seat, and shrink tube a magnet to the sensor. I will try to find the video and put it under this comment!
@@Moto.Mitch. oh man this is awesome! Such a smart idea for that one and can prevent the issue in the future! I look forward to seeing a video! Thank you!
I got a check light after installing a LED headlight, drove to get Pizza to celebrate the install. On start up to head home, it cleared itself. Just got another one from installing a PC6 and doing some dyno pulls. Gonna go drive to get another slice :)
Hahah the pizzamobile! So good haha It seems like you get them to pop up often, this is the first one I had and after the last issue, makes sense.. Maybe I need to go get more slices..
I found this: "So after replacing the battery the bike started up. After a quick ride around the neighborhood and several shut off / start up cycles it quit again. This time I got a check engine light. p1685 I couldn’t find anything in KTM world but apparently this happens to Triumph Speed Triples. Same exact symptoms. Main relay. I pulled the tank. The relays live in front of the battery. Popped them off. Dielectric grease. Cleared the code. So far so good. I even tried my old battery and it worked fine. I’ll have to take a longer ride. The relays look to be acm33221. We will see how it goes." apparently is bike did the same as yours, just turned off for no reason.
You have a good formula there.. simplicity is king but it seems I've already started rolling down this damn hill so I'm bound to have many issues at my own hand hahah

@@LifeWellRidden dude try the BT Tuner...
@@JinKazama92 never realized BT did tune for the 690.. if my PCV takes a dumb again I’ll have to make that switch!
It's still a great bike, even CycleCruza bought one recently, and he never said he would.......
I saw that.. he usually trashes the 690 but now he is eating his words a bit.. I'm excited to see what he does!

This is the video tutorial for how to bypass the side stand sensor! Hope it helps.

I couldn’t find anything in KTM world but apparently this happens to Triumph Speed Triples. Same exact symptoms. Main relay.

apparently is bike did the same as yours, just turned off for no reason.
I think I found that exact same forum post hahah crazy to me that KTM dosen't have these codes listed anywhere.. or at least that I could find..
Hi Where did you get your hand gards from trying to find some with the mirrors in
Hello! I actually have a whole video on the setup, it's all separate pieces.. - ruclips.net/video/hg8utdwkOk4/видео.html
@@LifeWellRidden thank you for coming your videos are pukka
I've had mine come on once or twice before. Not sure why but it went away after about 20 min of riding
It's like our gas light.. comes on then goes off, then comes on.. then goes off then stays on and says "ok I actually need gas now" haha
@@LifeWellRidden lol you absolutely right
Its time for your semiannual $$$$$ KTM dealer fee.
Hahahaha I'm at 6k miles so that one is coming up shortly...
The only info I saw was regulator rectifier which could be from a low battery
I keep this sucker on a tender if I don't ride for more than a week but I believe it had to do with my Fuse #2 issue..
There is always problems with my 690 😭
Why?
Wydm “why”
Why? No issue with mine.. except that it RIPS LIKE A BEAST !!!
Not a single problem with mine and i rip the shit out of it but people don’t seem to learn from their “power commander” mistakes
Everyone that commented sorry I just realised my spelling mistake. I was meant to say with my 690 instead of with all 690!
That’s why I avoid putting all those mods & just do fuel dongle & slip on that’s it…
You have a good formula there.. simplicity is king but it seems I've already started rolling down this damn hill so I'm bound to have many issues at my own hand hahah
@@LifeWellRidden I hear you man, I thank you for going through the trials of this bike and putting it out for the public to be aware of.
@@Hash9377 That's the goal! I'd rather make other people aware and have some fun at the same time!
I thought rottweiler had them sorted out pretty good ... guess I'll stick w dongle and slip on 😢
Don't ride with your main beams on bud
It's the only option I got with the SupermoFools headlight.. it's either a small LED strip or full blast light..
Why?. Gets you noticed more.
people worry wayyyy too much about a check engine light.
It's horrifying to me hahah i hate them.. At the end of the day this was really nothing but still scary..
