Hi all, this is related to my 2018 SXF 350 not starting, but thought it's better to start a separate one for this question specifically. Does anyone know how to bypass the KTM rollover sensor?

I'm finding conflicting info online that some models you can disconnect it to bypass, whereas most of them require specific resistance across the three poles. Cannot find it specifically for SXF.

18 450SXF unplugged it, bike ran fine but threw a code. Check all of the electrical connections. Particularly the white plug behind the number plate.

Check the wiring harness behind the number plate too. My starter wire broke by where all the wires branch together and caused a no start.

Like AJ said, also check down the harness a couple inches from that plug behind the plate. I’ve had the wire break a few inches down too.

Thanks all, it was just the sparkplug that fixed it in my case. I already ruled it out cause it sparked fine off the bike, so went down a bit of a rabbit hole on this. Oh and indeed the bike runs fine with tip over disconnected as mentioned.
