New Member with a '16 that just died

Hey all! I'm glad I came across an Enduro specific forum. Sorry
to stop in and say 'hi' under such needy circumstances, but I
promise I'll stick around and contribute to the group as I can.
I've been poking around the internet trying to find some answers
about my situation. No dice. First of my many KTM's that has
ever let me down. Real bummer.
I have a 2016 with only 700 miles, always ran perfectly. I
recently relocated on coastal NC so haven't ridden the bike in a
few weeks. Took it out yesterday. Started right up, ran strong
for 15 minutes just like it always has. Just as front wheel came
down from a power wheelie it immediately lost power so I rolled
in neutral to a stop. Bike has good battery power, lights on,
horn will beep, engine turns over strong, but she just won't
start. Has this happened to any of you? Any ideas would be
great. Seems electrical/electronic, but it's beyond me what it
might be. I'm 4 hours from the nearest KTM dealer so feeling
kinda SOL...
Once she gets rolling again, would love to find some other
eastern NC riders, if you're out there....
Thanks!

I just saw your post. Did you ever get this figured out?
I'm guessing sidestand switch or possibly the leads to the
injector.

Yea kinda quiet in here.
Just took to a dealer in Raleigh today. Turns out it was the
quick disconnect on the fuel line. It was connected but not
properly clipped from the factory so that final jolt is what
disconnected it just enough to plug the line. The tech found it
because this happened on another KTM just a few weeks ago.

I'm glad it was something easy.
I did that to myself once on the 1190. But never would have
come up with that as a solution for you.

Thanks. I was bummed I didn't catch it before driving 7 hours,
but glad it wasn't something significant. The dealer still
covered their time under warranty which was cool.
