Primele impresii KTM Freeride 350

A sosit motocicleta noua KTM Freeride 350

Sigur ca luceste si arata extraordinar ca si totul cand este nou, dar vorbind de KTM, cei de la Mattighofen din ou au aratat calitatea motociletelor produse in austria.
Desi Freeride-ul este un hibrid intre un EXC de Enduro si o motocicleta Trial, putem spune ca combinatia celor doua face ca aceasta motocicleta sa ocupe un loc nou in viitorul Enduro. Tot mai multi soferi se indreapta catre acest model pentru Enduro si Hard Enduro avand greutatea redusa. Faptul ca saua se afla cu 7cm mai jos decat cea a EXC-ului face ca Freeride-ul sa fie mai usor de controlat mai ales pentru soferi de statura mai mica, acum nu toti avem inaltimea ideala de endurist de 1,90m...
Componentele sunt de calitate, facute sa reziste cerintelor Enduro.
Dupa o examinare scurta a obiectului se vede ca forma e mult mai supla fata de un EXC. Telescoapele pe fata sunt tot WP si au greutatea redusa folosind tuburi de 43 mm, fata de cele de 48 mm folosite pe EXC.
Se pare ca au inventat tot ce se poate inventa pentru a muta centru de greutate cat mai jos, rezervorul de carburant este montat sub si este in totalitate acoperit de saua. Chiar si bateria este montate in spatele cilindrului si este accesibila fara a mai demonta saua.
Pinionul primar de 11 este cam mic, dupa parerea mea, dupa pornire rapid ai schimbat toate vitezele si ajungi la o viteza maxima de ca 90kmh cu motorul urland. Pentru un traseu Enduro mixt cu parauri si urcari este mai potrivit un 12, transmite suficienta tractiune pe roata din spate fara sa rupa aderenta si motorul ajunge cu turatii mai mici la viteza de croaziera.

Acum mai ies la o tura de Rodaj....ne mai auzim

KTM timing marks for Cams

Did you ever search the timing marks on a KTM which indicate the correct positition of the Cams in TDC? Well, here's the secret: Loook in the opposite side of the Timing chain for the two marks which have to be both visible when in correct position. If necessary turn you Cam until both marks are visible.

Had a Cam Chain tensioner failure ...

After riding uphill I stopped and laid my FR down. Starting it up again, a rattling sound... end of story. ...fact is the hydraulic Cam Chain tensioner or also called the Timing Chain tensioner of my Ktm Freeride 350 stopped its duty cycle causing the Cam to turn over one tooth. Luckily on tooth didn' t damage the Valves, so the got no hit from the cylinder and didn't bent or even break. That would a been a disaster. This is how the Original KTM hydraulic Cam Chain tensioner looks like: Normally oil pressure is even too High causing too much wear of the chain. Testing my hydraulic Cam Chain tensioner on a flat table, pressing it down it remained blocked. It should not happen after only 70 hours. Conclusion:  I will grab a new mechanic Cam Chain tensioner from Mito Racing and get rid of any trouble and noises coming from my engine. Adjusting the new Mito Racing Cam Chain tensioner is pretty simple. I have put a little HowTo and review here.

How to tension your Cam Chain using a mechanic Timing Chain tensioner

How to tension your Cam Chain using a mechanic Timing Chain tensioner... this one is from Mino-Racing This is the buddy from Mino-Racing which I mounted in my KTM four stroke. KTM uses from 2006 onwards a hydraulic Cam Chain Tensioner which gets faulty after only a few hours. I guess it is mandatory to change the original hydraulic timing chain tensioner with a mechanical one to avoid break downs in the middle of nowhere! In this short Video you can see all action it takes to tension your Cam Chain. You have to pre-tension it by hand first until the Cam Chain is firm and afterward give it another half to three quaters of a turn with the hex. After that you can fix the counter hex and be shure no problems will occur. Check your timing chain tension every 20 hours or with any valve clearance check!
