At least with a kickstart you don’t have to worry about malfunctions with the electric start. Though I’ve never even seen a starter with the kill switch built in with it, I’ve only ever had two separate buttons.

Damn!! That would be infuriating!! My 2010 used to snap the speedometer cable. I replaced it 3x. Problem was, when the cable broke, inside the insulation, something would short and blow the main fuse. So, suddenly no starter and I'd have to kick it. 1st time it happpend, this guy I call "The Charlie Brown Mechanic" said my starter relay was toast. So I spent like $60 on a new relay and still didn't start. Got a better look at the $.30 fuse and realized I was an idiot. Haha. I finally just cut that cable, taped it off and called it good. No fuse has blown since, and I never have any idea how fast I'm going. Haha. I have a separate hour counter installed, so it doesn't really matter. Lol. Stupid KTM. HAHA!

The kill switch had recall because there was complaints that people’s bikes were starting them selves in the middle of the night bikes were brought in and assessed to find the switch is faulty and arcing across causing them to start so a recall was issued to change switch out for the original, also I understand people have fitted there own switches to there bikes but if a genuine ktm switch is not fitted it will void warranty if u haven’t had the bike longer than a month 👍 good luck hope u get it sorted if u need any help drop me a message I work for ktm 👍
