Hi fellows,
Maybe someone can help me.
After of few months in garrage I have started preparation if my KTM 690 to new season.
I have placed back battery to bike and my surprise: FI light is constantly on. No blinking no error codes, just constat FI light. Its dosent matter key is on off , kill switch is on/off...light still is ON. Bike engine start normally, small trip arround the garden also not chowed any failures. I have check battery, have check and clean with connector cleaners all connectors under the seat, I have makke throtle calibration and idle reset...all things I found here on this forum. But FI still constantly is ON. No any KTM workshop close to me to check ECU but maybe some one know whats a mean if FI is constantly on ? Thanks for any tips.

seems a strange one, pull open your dash and dry it overnight in warm dry area, then check
maybe its moisture causing a jumper cable effect

Have you tried pulling the long life battery out of the back and seeing if it goes out?
I reckon you've unluckily shorted something in the a-se of it when you replaced the battery.

Nope, do not even open yet dashboard. But I have it in my plans to do it today, as one colleague hint, open and dry to eliminate eventual moisture.

I miss interpreted your first post. When you said placed back battery in the bike, I thought you meant you replaced battery "in the back" of the instrument cluster.
A low voltage battery or poor connection can make the light stay on. I have seen that before.

Yes , sorry also I should describe it more precislely. However abaut battery I meant the main 12 battert which I taking off from bike for winter. Hoewver 2, what I observe, if Im touching the dash connector, pulling and pushing, the FI can dissapear for moment. I have cleaned this connecotor also but now it seem like some cold-solder join inside the dash. I will open the dash at comming Saturday, will see what is inside. Thanks // Pawel

Did you get this sorted mate? I just purchased an 350 exc-f and when I test rose it no lights were constant. Got it home and fi light would stay on. It didn’t have much fuel in it and I worked out that the low fuel light and fi light have the gloves plugged in opposite as when started the low fuel light would glow for a couple of seconds on start up. Maybe worth swapping over the 2
Cheers
