KTM 390 Adventure Part 31 (Fuel x lite failure??)

[@augustbrante8117]

After reading all the comments and today is my birthday and the 390 is what I am getting myself I will be getting a new modified ECU too. After reading all the comments it seems like this is a one-off problem which does stink! But not an overall quality control issue. Best of luck with the warranty issue almost everyone makes warranty issues hard to resolve. I have a small SW company and we stand behind our (non-moto) service 100% a 100% of the time Again best of luck and pls keep us updated w the resolution!!!

This is what is stopping me from doing a pipe and this fuel controller. I think the bike is dangerously quiet and who doesn’t want a little more power. The service manager at the dealership I go to said they’re more headaches than they’re worth. Which is a shame because they do seem to offer some performance. If they could just get the stability of their product to be better.

thanks! having issues with my 2023 390 adventure, with the same miles and a fuelx lite. no check engine , but its idling horrible now after running great for months. when it sputters at idle the green lights stop and turn red, then back to green and it smooths out , then repeats. Your code reader special or just an adapter on a OBD2 ( i already have an obd2 with adapter ) ? good video man, thanks!

I've just fitted a Fuel X Lite on my Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 And I took it to my dealership, because I didn't have a Diagnostic check device, they charger me £25 After I'd found my Engine Management light on whilst the engine was running, They told me a similar thing to what you have discovered, This is just confirming my thoughts, That I'm just going to take the dam thing off, I've tried re- plugging the sockets, checking the bloody fuel cap, Switching the engine on and off, Flicking the lights, the kill switch, All the crap people tell you to try, I've had enough, Funny thing, I have a Fuel X Lite successfully installed and working on my Royal Enfield Hunter 350 ? But it's just not having it on the Interceptor, So I got it from Hitchcocks UK this May, So I'm going to See if I can get some money back on it, And I'll be putting the Interceptor 650 back as it was. Cheers Paul

I own ktm rc 390 2022 model and i had the same problem, i guess it has to something with the water. If the water goes in it's done

[@teddybowker7309]

Fuel X issue again this product is troublesome. Keep us posted Sean. 😀

[@SeanFillner]

It would be nice if powertronic would reply to me. If not, I am taking it out and dumping it in the trash.

[@teddybowker7309]

I have a booster plug fitted from new no issue. 2020 model. They don’t make them for 2021 upwards. 😀

[@SeanFillner]

@@teddybowker7309 you mean the resistor mod on those years?

[@RonOrud]

I only had this pop up once, and it fixed itself. I am curious to see what the future brings.

[@12kabubi]

I watched your installation video (part 8) and it seems that you may have messed up the calibration before first start-up. I'm guessing you should have waited longer until the lights flashed green signalling the calibration with the ECU was complete.

[@SeanFillner]

I did that although I did not film it. You can see that procedure in my other bike build series playlists. I was the one that came up with that procedure in the first place and powertronic swears you don't need to do that but I disagree with them.

[@paulfoster5432]

Can I say that I fitted a Fuel X Lite on my Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 After fitting Left it on tick over for a good 12 minutes, An i have an issue with the Engine warning light staying on whilst the engine is running, took it to my dealership, they plugged in the diagnostic device, discovered a fault on the 02 sensor, I'm at my wits end, I'm taking the bloody thing off, And sending it back to Hitchcocks UK, Cheers Paul

Thanks for sharing this! Often we only see the positive side to mods, the negative side hardly people talk about. I have ordered fuelX lite for my 250, what i dont like about this product is there is no designated place to put the damn thing you can place it wherever you like underneath the seat. Also i am not sure about the water resistance. This product was developed in bangalore, India. The guys at race dynamics developed it in a year and half, this raises further questions, how they got the product designed, fine tuned, fixed for bugs all in 1 and half years. Overall it doesnt look like a very promising product if you want to keep for a very long time.

[@johnmichael9354]

Did you get it thru powerTRONIC? which straight from India?

[@SeanFillner]

Yes, they finally replied and wanted me to fill out a warranty activation form on their page which is funny because I bought the product directly from them so I sent them a screenshot. Hopefully this does not turn into warranty claim "tennis", if that is the case I will find a different controller. I have purchased 3 of these units and this is the first one I have had issues with.

[@virajvrooms]

​@@SeanFillner Do share the feedback. Filling a warranty form is a norm here due to counterfeit and pre-owned markets. I will be sending them an email with a link to your video. Have been planning to buy one.

[@SeanFillner]

@@virajvrooms already did. Check the playlist I created for this build series.

Just installed a fuel x lite on my Ktm 390, it was an easy install, but the device does not allow my bike to turn over, it only beeps red. Customer service is impossible to reach. Anyone have any possible solutions would be much appreciated

[@SeanFillner]

That is not possible unless you did not plug something in or forgot to reconnect your ground to the frame under the coil.

[@realzeti]

I got that code every time I change my exhaust (ie removed cat, resonator etc.) but resetting the code solved the problem, and it didn’t come back. Once after river crossing the code came back, so I suspect it may not be a problem exclusive to fuelx

[@SeanFillner]

Once the fuel x is removed from the o2 sensor loop the code goes away and never comes back. I tested it yesterday on a ride to work.

[@SenaCaptures]

Hi. I have installed fuel x lite on my meteor 350. The check engine light comes up recurrently and the code I got was system too lean. Service centre guys have checked everything and told me bike is perfectly normal. Fuel X officials told me that it has nothing to do with that error code. Can someone tell me what could be the potential cause? Do I have a faulty fuel x unit?

[@SeanFillner]

Get your fuel x replaced.

[@SenaCaptures]

@@SeanFillner Just got back from the service centre. The guys unplugged the pump and reconnected it and told me that the engine light is gone. Will check for a few more days then.

[@SenaCaptures]

@@SeanFillner Contacted powertronics as well this was their reply - Hi sir Hope you are doing well. The FuelX connects to the O2 sensor and it is not at all related to the Fuel pump. This might be because of a Faulty Pump. Please check the same and get back to us.

[@SenaCaptures]

Update - Check engine light is back on. Will get fuel x replaced.

[@shonith91]

@@SenaCapturesrun the bike without fuelx if thats the problem then the error code should go.

[@gammagonad1657]

I had the same issue. I brought it to the dealer and we realized that it is a sensitive electronics issue. I unhooked my phone charger and re wired. Problem solved for over a year now

[@SeanFillner]

This has zero to do with any phone charger.
