Can someone post the colors for hookup of the e-start button on a 2017 FC250?
I just picked up this bike used and the e-start button has been ripped/disconnected. I have two torn wires on the button side and two on the bike side and I tried twisting them together in both combos and had no fire from the e-start.
The bike bump starts, runs good, and the battery has a built in life indicator, and it's showing fully charged.

The power was being blocked by the relay.
So I pulled out the relay and did the 12V test and am getting no click. So I'm ordering a new relay.
It took my stupid a** a long while to figure that out, but I think I've found the problem .
Cleaned and confirmed negative battery terminal connection and coil mounted earth.

Start by checking the condition of the battery. Then test the starter itself. You can use a jump pack or another battery. Ground to the starter case, positive to the B+ post. If the starter spins and the battery condition is ok, make sure you have B+ at one of the big terminals on the start relay. If you do, and the ten amp fuse is good, check the connector going into the starter relay. Usually three very small wires. They are prone to breaking. If they’re broken, you’ll have to get that straightened out.
Finally, the two bare wires you’re holding should correspond in color to two of the wires going into the starter relay connector. Once you have everything squared away in the system, shorting the two wires together on the chassis side, not the switch side should activate the starter. I eliminated the switch connector on mine since the wires were broken right at the round terminals.
I replaced the starter relay w a new genuine KTM unit and kept chasing other issues and eventually got frustrated and gave it to my friend to look at. He double checked the new relay and found it to be faulty. A second new KTM relay fixed the problem and now it starts first push of the button!
