Hey guys.
Thoughts?
At RCU yesterday… 2013 KTM 350 SXF… 40 hours, meticulously maintained, new fuel filter not 5 hours ago, new air every ride, oil every other etc.
After doing some starts with Fro–which, apparently I suck at now, the EFI light started blinking. 9 times. Manifold pressure...
Called KTM dealer. He said if it’s fine I’m probably ok to keep riding for a bit–I don’t wanna blow it up though, so I skip the starts and move on.
Then bike shuts off after throttle… like a bog. Restarts, but idle is super low, even with idle screw all the way in (or out for that matter)
I do know two things… the ground on the battery hasn’t been perfect for a while, I’ve cleaned it and retapped, it’s better but not perfect… AND the sensor plug on the airbox is also a little sketchy, although seems ok in terms of connection right now, i.e. it’s holding solidly on there.
I’m definitely not an electrics guy and probably taking to the shop tomorrow… Anyone got any input? Am I about to hand over the card and get smashed or is it likely simple? I did post in here a little while back after some time off it was hard to start, dialed the idle screw in and started and idled fine.

Let us know what you find.
Like I say, not an electrical guy so has to go in tomorrow. Hopefully it's not an expensive trip!!!
Cheers mate!
So happy that it is a cheap fix and I can ride this weekend, but i'm going to have to start learning electronics I think! Anyone got any suggestions as to where/how to start?
A switch that works and reacts to different things, but a switch none the less
