KTM 150 EXC TPI 2020

The KTM 150 EXC TPI is a off-road motorcycle that was introduced by KTM in 2020. It belongs to the EXC lineup, which is known for its high-performance and off-road capabilities. The “TPI” in the name stands for “Transfer Port Injection,” referring to the fuel injection system used in the bike.

The KTM 150 EXC TPI is powered by a 150cc two-stroke engine that utilizes KTM’s TPI technology. This fuel injection system replaces the traditional carburetor, offering improved fuel efficiency, smoother power delivery, and better throttle response. The TPI system also helps reduce emissions, making the bike more environmentally friendly.

In terms of design, the 150 EXC TPI features a lightweight and agile chassis, optimized for off-road riding. It has a slim profile, allowing riders to easily maneuver through tight trails and challenging terrain. The suspension system is designed to handle rough terrains, with high-quality components such as WP XPLOR forks and WP XPLOR PDS shock absorber at the rear.

The bike comes with a range of features and technologies aimed at enhancing performance and rider experience. It includes adjustable handlebars, allowing riders to customize their riding position for optimal comfort and control. Additionally, the KTM PowerParts catalog offers a wide range of accessories and upgrades to further personalize the bike to individual preferences.

The KTM 150 EXC TPI also incorporates advanced electronics for improved safety and performance. It features a multi-functional digital instrument cluster that provides essential information to the rider, including speed, RPM, fuel level, and more. The bike also includes various riding modes and traction control settings to adapt to different riding conditions.

As with any motorcycle, it’s always recommended to refer to the official KTM website or contact a KTM dealership for the most accurate and up-to-date information about the KTM 150 EXC TPI, as specifications and features may vary between model years and regions.

  • Check the brake system and do not continue riding until the problem is eliminated. (Your authorized KTM workshop will be glad to help.)

Warning
The danger of accidents Moisture and dirt impair the brake system.

  • Brake carefully several times to dry out and remove dirt from the brake linings and the brake discs.
  • On sandy, wet or slippery surfaces, use the rear brake.
  • Braking should always be completed before you go into a bend. Change down to a lower gear appropriate to your road speed.

  • Always wear protective clothing that is in good condition and meets the legal regulations. In the interest of your own safety, KTM recommends that you only operate the vehicle while wearing protective clothing.

Work rules
Unless specified otherwise, the ignition must be turned off during all work (model with ignition switch) or the engine must be at a standstill (models without ignition switch). Special tools are necessary for certain tasks. The tools are not a component of the vehicle but can be ordered using the number in parentheses.

Example: bearing puller (15112017000) During assembly, use new parts to replace parts that cannot be reused (e.g. self-locking screws and nuts, seals, sealing rings, O-rings, pins, and lock washers). In the case of certain screws, a screw adhesive (e.g. Loctite®) is required. Observe the manufacturer’s instructions. If a thread locker (e.g., Precote®) has already been applied to a new part, do not apply any additional thread locker. After disassembly, clean the parts that are to be reused and check them for damage and wear. Change damaged or worn parts. After completing a repair or service work, check the operating safety of the vehicle.

Environment
If you use your motorcycle responsibly, you can ensure that problems and conflicts do not occur. To protect the future of the motorcycle sport, make sure that you use your motorcycle legally, display environmental consciousness, and respect the rights of others. When disposing of used oil, other operating and auxiliary fluids, and used components, comply with the laws and regulations of the respective country. Because motorcycles are not subject to the EU regulations governing the disposal of used vehicles, there are no legal regulations that pertain to the disposal of an end-of-life motorcycle. Your authorized KTM dealer will be glad to advise you.

Owner’s Manual
It is important that you read this Owner’s Manual carefully and completely before making your first trip. The Owner’s Manual contains useful information and many tips on how to operate, handle, and service your motorcycle. Only then will you find out how to customize the vehicle ideally for your own use and how you can protect yourself from injury? Keep the Owner’s Manual in an accessible place to enable you to refer to it as needed. If you would like to know more about the vehicle or have questions about the material you read, please contact an authorized KTM dealer. The Owner’s Manual is an important component of the vehicle and must be handed over to the new owner if the vehicle is sold. The Owner’s Manual is also available for download from your authorized KTM dealer and on the KTM website.

Compression damping of the shock absorber
The compression damping of the shock absorber is divided into two ranges: high-speed and low-speed. High-speed and low-speed refer to the compression speed of the rear wheel suspension and not to the vehicle speed. The high-speed compression adjuster has an effect, for example, when landing after a jump: the rear wheel suspension compresses quickly. The low-speed compression adjuster has an effect, for example, when riding over long ground swells: the rear wheel suspension compresses slowly. These two ranges can be adjusted separately, although the transition between high-speed and low-speed is gradual. Thus, modifications in the high-speed range affect the compression damping in the low-speed range and vice versa.
