KTM 250 SXF Won't start, Starter Button Not Working - Wiring Issue with Late Model SX-F Dirt B

Here we'll show you why your motocross bike won't start on the button. And the first thing to do to confirm it is the button before you start taking the bike apart.
This fix applies to late model 2 & 4 stroke KTM bikes.
BONUS Tip: How to prime the injectors before you hit the button! Save your electric starter!

My starter button only works sometimes. Starter relais changed battery changed. Same problem but there are no cables cut where you showed. Also transmission works when turning wheel

Thanks. Had same prob with 2022 fc 250.

[@603MX]

Glad it helped

Would this cause my battery to drain too?

Well what if it doesn’t turn it all on when you move the back wheel I have a 2016 am I’m having problems with my bike

[@Jay-jo8wu]

How did you bypass it what wires did you connect I’m having this problem on my 2021

[@603MX]

On the connector behind the front number board follow the wires and you’ll see they loop back twice. You can eliminate the loops, recrimp and heat seal.
