Why does my KTM 500 EXC-F 2023 engine overheat?
Your KTM Motorcycle engine may overheat due to several reasons: a low coolant level in the cooling system, which may require checking the system for leaks or checking the coolant level; insufficient airflow, suggesting you switch off the engine when stationary; very dirty radiator fins, indicating they need cleaning; or foam formation in the cooling system, which calls for draining the coolant.
Why is my KTM 500 EXC-F 2023 Motorcycle consuming so much oil?
High oil consumption in your KTM Motorcycle can be attributed to several factors. The engine vent hose may be bent, requiring it to be straightened or replaced. The engine oil level might be too high, so check the engine oil level. The engine oil could be too thin (low viscosity), suggesting an oil and filter change, along with cleaning the oil screens. Lastly, worn piston and cylinder may be the cause, in which case you should measure the piston/cylinder mounting clearance.
What to do if my KTM 500 EXC-F 2023 Motorcycle engine dies during the trip?
