Tipped my 25 KTM 150sx over in a bit of mud and water on the exhaust side, wasn't deep at all some water went in the silencer and the start/stop switch went under. Picked the bike up and it won't start, (will turn over) tried bump starting but that didn't work either, than I noticed the hour meter and map switch isn't illuminating anymore and the fuel pump isn't switching on anymore, already disconnected the battery and tip sensor, nothing works.

Disconnect tip over and ECU reconnect see if it starts

try disconnecting the start/stop switch and jump the starter wires at the connector to see if it fires up. That will tell you if the start/stop switch is bad

Tried that as well, going to a dealer to see if they can figure something out.

Just changed the voltage regulator, fixed the problem
