KTM 250 EXC-F AU 2014

The KTM 250 EXC-F AU 2014 is an off-road motorcycle manufactured by KTM, an Austrian motorcycle brand known for its high-performance dirt bikes. The 250 EXC-F AU is part of the EXC-F lineup, designed for enduro riding and competition, with a focus on four-stroke engine performance. The 2014 KTM 250 EXC-F AU is powered by a 250cc, single-cylinder, four-stroke engine. The four-stroke design provides smooth and tractable power delivery, making it suitable for a wide range of off-road riding conditions. The engine is equipped with electronic fuel injection (EFI) for precise fueling and improved throttle response. The motorcycle features a lightweight and durable chromoly steel frame designed for optimal handling and stability. It incorporates high-quality suspension components, including a WP USD (Upside-Down) front fork and a WP PDS (Progressive Damping System) rear shock absorber. These components offer ample suspension travel and adjustability to handle rough off-road terrain. Braking performance is taken care of by high-performance hydraulic disc brakes, providing reliable and controlled stopping power in various off-road conditions. The 250 EXC-F AU may also be equipped with a hydraulic clutch for smooth and precise clutch engagement.

(XCF‑W)
KTM sport motorcycles are designed and built to withstand the normal stresses and strains of competitive use. The motorcycles comply with currently valid regulations and categories of the top international motorsport organizations.

Info
This motorcycle is designed for use in offroad endurance competition and not primarily for use in motocross.

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 setting, for example, has an effect on the landing after a jump: the rear wheel suspension compresses more quickly. The low-speed setting, for example, has an effect when riding over long ground swells: the rear wheel suspension compresses more slowly. These two ranges can be adjusted separately, although the transition between high-speed and low-speed is gradual. Thus, changes in the high-speed range affect the compression damping in the low-speed range and vice versa.

Work rules
Special tools are necessary for certain tasks. The tools are not contained in the vehicle but can be ordered under the number in parentheses.
E.g.: bearing puller (15112017000) During assembly, non-reusable parts (e.g. self-locking screws and nuts, seals and seal rings, O-rings, pins, lock washers) must be replaced by new parts. In some instances, a thread locker (e.g. Loctite®) is required. The manufacturer’s instructions for use must be followed. After disassembly, clean the parts that are to be reused and check them for damage and wear. Change damaged or worn parts. After you complete the 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 maintain 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 should be handed over to the new owner if the vehicle is sold.

Guarantee, warranty
The work prescribed in the service schedule must be carried out by an authorized KTM workshop only and confirmed in the customer’s Service & Warranty Booklet and in the KTM dealer.net; otherwise, all warranty claims will be void. No warranty claims can be considered for damage resulting from manipulations and/or alterations to the vehicle. Additional information on the guarantee or warranty and the procedures involved can be found in the Service & Warranty Booklet.

Service
A prerequisite for perfect operation and prevention of premature wear is that the service, care, and tuning work on the engine and chassis is properly carried out as described in the Owner’s Manual. Incorrect adjustment and tuning of the engine and chassis can lead to damage and breakage of components. Use of the vehicle under difficult conditions, such as on sand or on wet and muddy surfaces, can lead to considerably more rapid wear of components such as the drive train, brake system, or suspension components. For this reason, it may be necessary to inspect or replace parts before the next scheduled service. It is imperative that you adhere to the stipulated run-in times and service intervals. If you observe these exactly, you will ensure a much longer service life for your motorcycle.

Figures
The figures contained in the manual may depict special equipment. In the interest of clarity, some components may be shown disassembled or may not be shown at all. It is not always necessary to disassemble the component to perform the activity in question. Please follow the instructions in the text.
