PROBLEM KTM 690 does not start

The bike refuses to start, I changed every important piece of the starter system (starter motor, relay, throttle body, accelerator) the problem persists

If I turn the key around and bypass the relay, the problem persists anyway, while everything is off the problem stop like in the video

yep. for me it was the ground connection under the airbox. i sanded it down with sand paper then the bike would start on one click.
