CRANKSHAFT

The KTM 250 SX-F has a rigid crankshaft and a connecting rod that features a plain big end bearing with two force-fitted bearing shells run directly on the crank pin. This design was essential for the extremely high engine speeds and unrivalled maximum power of the 250 cc 4-stroke engine. The design also enhances the engine’s durability, allowing long crankshaft service intervals, which is a huge benefit in relation to time, effort and cost.
