Ktm 640 adventure electric start not working

Hi, my Ktm 640 Adventure just died in the middle of riding it for 10 minutes, before that it seemed slow to crank when starting with the elec. Switch like there wasn't enough juice but started with the kick ok. When I press the elec switch I don't even get a clicking sound from the relay, but if I connect the 2 relay poles with a spanner I get a spark. Battery shows 11.5 V on the multimeter. Any ideas?

The solinoid coil seems suspect, as jumping across terminals bypasses coil

My brother is stuck in white sands NM and his '01 ktm Adv R 640 will not start. None of the lights come on. He was riding slow for a while which makes me think that it is over heated. there is no shade...

It's possible that the battery has decided to go further south. A blown fuse is definitely worth looking for. If he was running slow for an extended period of time, the battery could just be discharged for lack of sufficient charging current. Look at the water level in the battery--if very low, it won't produce much current or charge well. A voltmeter or test lamp would be a definite asset in troubleshooting the battery and the cables which may be corroded through. Good luck!
