Overview[edit | edit source]
KTM 500 EXC-F
The KTM 500 EXC-F is the strongest dual sport bike in the world, although that doesnt mean its hard to control. This motorcycle is as lean and civilized as a thoroughbred race horse. But let it rip, and its 4-stroke SOHC engine blasts the cutting-edge chassis across any terrain you choose. Ahead of the competition. No sweat, just glory.
King of the mountain
Engine
Small in dimensions, sky-high on output. The KTM 500 EXC-Fs fuel-injected
powerhouse makes it the most compact and lightest 500 on the market, while
delivering groundbreaking torque and power figures over the entire rev range
thanks to a single overhead camshaft cylinder head and the latest electronic
fuel injection. Class-leading and cutting-edge: just the way we like it.
Cylinder Head
A single overhead camshaft controls intake and exhaust through optimized ports,
while a cutting-edge combustion chamber and water jacket create mind-blowing
power while managing heat. The engines four valves rely on extremely rigid
rocker arms. Double lateral brackets fix the engine to the frame and reduce
vibrations.
Crankshaft
The KTM 500 EXC-Fs crankshaft utilizes a short connecting rod, which makes for
an overall compact and lightweight engine with a snappy power delivery. A plain
big (bottom) end bearing with two force-fitted bearing shells runs directly on
the crank pin. The necessary oil feed for this bearing is ensured by the
engines pressurized lubrication. This design is a decisive benefit in terms of
the crankshaft service interval, which can be lengthened due to the plain
bearing. So just pin it, all day long.
E-Starter
The KTM 500 EXC-F is fitted with a unique E-starter as standard, which is a
clear advantage when it comes to crunch time in the heat of battle. A strong
starter motor and a reliable lithium ion battery will fire up your 500 time and
time again at the push of a button. In order to reduce weight to the minimum,
there is no kick-starter system. You wont miss it. If by any chance you do,
just retrofit a KTM PowerParts replacement kit to get your kicks.
Crankcases and engine covers
The design of the die-cast crankcases allows for minimal weight and a very
centralized shaft configuration. This makes the engine short and compact, while
contributing to an efficient centralization of masses. The engine covers also
feature a solid surface structure, which reduces the wear caused by the riders
boots. This way, your EXC-F will keep looking better longer.
