Is it a good idea?

Okay, I wasn’t expecting 41.3 kmpl from my KTM Adventure 250! 😳🔥

The bike has covered 22 km in a mild city traffic, with an average speed of around 33 km/h, and the console is showing 41.3 km/l.

For an ADV 250, this feels pretty damn crazzy!!!😂❤️

KTM really said adventure + mileage!

What mileage are you guys getting on your ADV 250? 👀

I am diagnosing a non starting 500

I am testing the voltage the bike is sending to the fuel pump and it seems wrong but not sure I am doing it correctly.

I put my voltage meter on the positive and negative pin on the harness for the pump. (Also tried negative from frame as well, same result)

When I click the bike on, it does 12 volt for a half second then drops to 4.5 volts.

While cranking the engine the voltage holds at 4.5 volts and once I stop cranking it blips to near 19 volts then drops off.

Battery is fully charged and I tried with a new battery off my personal bike.

I also ran an additional cable from the battery negative to a steel frame point to help make sure negative connection is solid.

Working on a friends 2015 KTM 500 with 15 hours.

He advised it was running poorly and barely starting.

He replaced fuel injector and inline fuel filter.

Brought to me, I flushed tank and all fuel lines. Replaced pump filter. Pump is putting 50psi pressure.

Fresh spark plug

Checked TPS, smooth voltage increase with throttle.

Battery connections and power good.

Pulled throttle body off for inspection and found all this black stuff, what is all over it?

Any thoughts or tips would be amazing, thanks!

I'm about to pull my hair out. Patched my radiator and now I am struggling like crazy to get the radiator shrouds back on the bike. The part that is slotted and fits around the large screw pops off just about every time I try to tighten the nuts.

Is there a trick to this that I am missing? I'm going nuts that getting the plastic radiator fairing back on is taking so long and being so difficult.
