Horsepower Estimate:
Typically in the range of 30-40 HP, depending on specific model year and tuning.
Torque Estimate:
Specific torque figures will be in the manual, generally around 20-25 Nm.
Fuel Type Recommendation:
Leaded or Unleaded gasoline with specific Octane rating and 2-stroke oil pre-mix ratio (e.g., 1:30, 1:40, 1:50) as per KTM recommendations.
Transmission Type:
6-Speed Manual Transmission
Optional Transmission:
N/A (Typically single transmission option for SXS models)
Clutch Type:
Wet Multi-plate Clutch (Hydraulically Actuated)
Gear Ratios:
Specific gear ratios for each of the 6 speeds will be detailed in the manual.
Gearbox Oil Type:
Specific gearbox oil viscosity and API rating will be listed (e.g., SAE 10W/40, SAE 15W/50, often a quality motorcycle-specific oil).
Gearbox Oil Change:
Recommended every 15-20 operating hours or annually, whichever comes first.
Air Filter Cleaning:
Recommended after every few rides, or more frequently in dusty conditions.
Spark Plug Inspection:
Recommended every 20-30 operating hours.
Piston Ring Replacement:
Typical interval for a 2-stroke performance engine is around 50-100 operating hours, depending on usage and maintenance. Manual will specify.
Gearbox Oil Spec:
Specific SAE viscosity (e.g., 10W/40 or 15W/50) and API classification (e.g., API SG, SH, SJ, or higher) will be detailed in the manual. Use of motorcycle-specific transmission oil is critical.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene Glycol based antifreeze coolant with corrosion inhibitors, mixed with distilled water at a 50/50 ratio. Manual will specify brand/type.
Premix Oil Ratio:
Typically 1:30 to 1:50 (oil:fuel) for high-performance 2-stroke engines. Manual will state the precise recommendation.
Common Wear Items:
Piston and rings, clutch plates, crankcase seals, wheel bearings, steering head bearings.
Common Engine Problems:
Carburetor jetting issues due to altitude/temperature changes, overheating if cooling system is neglected, excessive smoke if oil ratio is incorrect or engine is worn.
Maintenance Tips:
Regular cleaning of air filter, correct premix ratio, timely gearbox oil changes, and ensuring proper cooling system function are crucial for longevity.
