Depth:
Comprehensive, covering everything from basic maintenance to complete engine overhauls and advanced diagnostics.
Diagnostic Codes:
Likely includes diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) if the model is equipped with electronic diagnostics.
Engine Type:
Four-stroke, single-cylinder (likely Liquid-cooled, DOHC, 4 valves based on common KTM 200 configurations)
Displacement:
199.5 cc (This is a common displacement for KTM 200 models)
Bore X Stroke:
Typically around 72 mm x 49 mm for this displacement.
Horsepower:
Approximately 25-26 HP (specific to the 2002 model, which might differ slightly from later iterations).
Torque:
Around 19-20 Nm (Newton-meters).
Fuel Delivery:
Likely Carbureted (Mikuni VM26 or similar) for a 2002 model, though some regional variants might have seen early fuel injection.
Fuel Type:
Unleaded gasoline (RON 95 recommended).
Oil Type:
JASO MA certified 10W/40 or 15W/50 motorcycle synthetic or semi-synthetic oil.
Oil Capacity:
Approx. 1.0-1.2 liters without filter change, 1.2-1.4 liters with filter change.
Safety Ratings:
N/A (Motorcycles are not typically subject to the same crash testing ratings as cars).
Braking System:
Dual piston front caliper with disc, single piston rear caliper with disc. ABS was not common on this class of motorcycle in 2002.
Lighting:
Halogen headlight, LED taillight (typical), incandescent turn signals.
Frame Construction:
Trellis frame (steel) for rigidity and light weight, typical of KTM.
Tires:
Front: 110/70-17, Rear: 150/60-17 (common sizes).
Wheel Type:
Cast aluminum alloy wheels.
Oil Change Interval:
Every 5,000 - 7,500 km or annually, whichever comes first.
Oil Filter Change:
Every oil change.
Air Filter Cleaning:
Every 3,000 - 5,000 km, replace if damaged or excessively dirty.
Spark Plug Replacement:
Every 10,000 - 12,000 km or as specified by the manual.
Chain Lubrication Adjustment:
Lubricate every 500 km, adjust slack as needed (typically 20-30 mm).
Valve Clearance Check:
Every 10,000 - 15,000 km.
Brake Fluid:
DOT 4 or DOT 5.1.
Coolant:
Mixture of distilled water and ethylene glycol-based antifreeze (e.g., Motorex Coolant M5.0).
Common Issues:
Potential for premature wear on certain engine components if not maintained properly, clutch lever adjustment may be needed periodically, occasional electrical gremlins if wiring is damaged.
Maintenance Importance:
Regular maintenance is crucial for preserving performance and longevity, especially given its sporty nature.
