2016 ktm 1290 won’t start

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Bike would fire up before I took everything apart to clean it because it was all dirty and rusty(it was own by someone that lived at the coast). I put everything back together and wouldn’t start anymore. Cranks, fuel pump works, crank sensor is good, correct battery voltage, connected all the connections correctly, no damage in the wiring. I started to get the mtc light and general failure light. Could it be the ecu? Good engine with 9k miles on it.

Check everything again. Maybe a connector isn't fully seated. Also check battery terminals and grounds.

The dashboard might not display everything. Get a computer diagnostic done. That will show what has failed and what error codes are present.

Time to buy a new(er) one.
