That's the little sucker causing trouble.... Should be changed from the First day when you get your KTM. Mine resisted 80 hours! Changed it with a mechanical by Mino Racing. Read about it here .

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.

Got me this new protection from strong plastic over my radiator hose. I had it allready smashed once in the woods loosing all cooling liquid. As you can see in the picture it has allready some big scratches in it, nur it holds. If you have any questions feel tree to ask.

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!

Comparison of two Cam Chain Tensioners, also known as Timing Chain Tensioner.  KTM orig. hydraulic vs MINO Racing cam chain tensioner We have for comparison an original KTM hydraulic Cam Chain Tensioner and a mechanical Cam Chain Tensioner by MINO Racing. Why should I change the Cam Chain tensioner on my bike, it still works! Well, the reason for changing from hydraulic to a mechanical Cam Chain tensioner is for shure reasonable having in mind what it means when the timing belt slips only a few teeth off the Cams. Not only that the Valves could be bent, but they even can break and create big damage to the engine. In Motorsports, mostly Enduro, Hard Enduro and also Enduro Cross it happens during Competition that the motorbike comes to a halt or even the engine pops of. This is the moment when oil pressure drops leaving the hydraulic timing chain tensioner without Juice... Now the tensioner can colapse and leave a loose Cam Chain which can slip over some teeth if the

How to control your Fuel pressure on all KTM fuelinjection Bikes This little video shows the measurement of the correct fuel pressure on a KTM Freeride 350.  We used a simple gauge for liquids, we used a lathe and machined a little fitting identical with the male end of the quick coupler.
