I have a 2014 KTM 350 SXF. The bike starts up, but as soon as I try to give it any gas the bike starts to die. It sounds like it is getting too much/not enough fuel, but can't find any obvious problems.
I checked all of my electrical and fuel connections and everything seems fine so far. I also checked to make sure if the fuel pump works, which it seems to (when activated is sprays fuel out about a foot or so).
Any thoughts?

Sounds like fuel starvation....
Check the inline fuel filter, fuel pump and injector for dirt or dried fuel.
These bikes are also known to have a fuel line kink issue inside the fuel tank that needs to be checked.

yea i would replace the inline filter anyway (black connector from tank to injector)
and check to make sure there isn't a kink as mentioned or a pin hole on the inside line

So far it looks like it was the injector. After cleaning the bike starts up and runs fine, but won't know for sure until I get to put some laps on it.
Thanks for the help!
