Performance Bore X Stroke: Not explicitly stated but critical for engine overhaul; typical for 450cc class are around 95mm x 63.4mm. Specific values will be in the manual. Compression Ratio: Not explicitly stated, but typically high for performance off-road engines, often in the 12.5:1 to 14:1 range. Fuel System Fuel Delivery: Fuel Injection (Keihin or Mikuni EFI systems are common on these models). Fuel Type: Unleaded gasoline (specific octane rating will be detailed in manual, typically 95 RON or higher). Lubrication Oil System: Likely a shared sump or separate transmission oil system, common in motocross bikes. Manual will detail oil type, capacity, and filter part numbers. 🔧 Transmission Standard Transmission Type: Constant mesh, sequential 5-speed or 6-speed gearbox (depending on specific model and year). Optional Clutch Type: Hydraulically operated, multi-plate wet clutch (KTM's 'slipper clutch' technology may be present on certain variants). Features Gear Ratios: Specific gear ratios for each speed will be detailed in the manual, critical for engine and drivetrain performance tuning. 📐 Dimensions Exterior Chassis Type: Mottled chromoly steel central tube frame (typical for KTM SX-F models). Weights Dry Weight: Varies by model, but typically around 100-110 kg (dry) for 450cc motocross bikes. Fuel Capacity: Typically around 7-8 liters for motocross models. 🛡️ Safety Features Ratings Safety Standards: N/A (Motocross competition vehicles are not typically rated by consumer safety bodies like NHTSA or Euro NCAP). Active Features Braking System: Hydraulic disc brakes front and rear (Brembo calipers are common on KTM). Passive Features Frame Construction: High-strength steel frame designed for rigidity and impact resistance. 💡 Technology Features Infotainment Infotainment Features: N/A (Motocross bikes focus on performance and do not feature traditional infotainment systems). Driver Assistance Rider Aids: Some later models may feature electronic aids like traction control or launch control, but this manual focuses on the engine itself. Connectivity Connectivity Features: N/A (Motocross bikes do not feature standard connectivity features). 🔧 Maintenance Service Intervals Oil Change Interval: Will be specified in the manual, typically after every 15-25 hours of hard riding or annually. Air Filter Cleaning: Frequent cleaning/replacement is critical for engine longevity, usually after every few riding sessions. Manual will provide detailed guidance. Fluid Specifications Engine Oil Type: Specific viscosity and JASO standard (e.g., 10W-50, JASO MA/MA2) will be detailed. Motorex is the preferred brand for KTM. Coolant Type: Ethylene glycol-based coolant with corrosion inhibitors, usually a 50/50 mix with distilled water. Known Issues Common Wear Items: Clutch plates, piston rings, valve seals, wheel bearings, and chain/sprockets are typical wear items on high-performance motocross bikes. Maintenance Importance:...
