Start by pushing the bike?

[chevaliernoir]

Hello

My lithium battery is weak now (after only 2 years, but ok)
There is enough power for the light and the electronic but not for the starter motor.
I tried tu push ro start the bike, but without any success (the rear wheel is turning and the engine is driven, but no combustion.
I have PCV installed.

Is it a limitation due to PCV or did you already tried with success (or not) to start the bike by pushing?

Thank you

If the voltage is too low to run the starter, then it is too low to run the computer correctly. You must install a good battery. Also, some modern bikes (I am not sure about KTM) are designed to not start when pushed; this is to protect the catalytic converter from being ruined by raw fuel.
