2014 KTM 250 EXC-F EU/AUS, 250 EXC-F SIX DAYS EU & 250 XCF-W USA Owner's Manual (P/N 3213035en)

This KTM owner's manual (Art. no. 3213035en, © 2013 KTM-Sportmotorcycle AG) covers the 2014 250 EXC-F EU/AUS, 250 EXC-F SIX DAYS EU, and 250 XCF-W USA.

• Engine and fuel service: Engine oil and filter changes, oil-screen cleaning, fuel-screen replacement, throttle cable checks, and idle-speed adjustment.

• Suspension and steering: Compression and rebound damping adjustments, sag checks, fork-leg bleeding, fork and shock removal and installation, and steering-head bearing service.

• Brakes and wheels: Front and rear brake-pad replacement, disc inspection, lever adjustment, wheel removal and installation, spoke tension checks, and chain adjustment.

• Intake and exhaust: Air-filter cleaning and installation, airbox sealing, and separate main silencer repacking procedures for EXC-F and XCF-W models.

• Hydraulic clutch: Fluid-level checks, lever-position adjustment, and fluid replacement using the specified bleeding equipment.

• Cooling system: Antifreeze and coolant-level checks, coolant draining and refilling, and radiator-fan information for the equipped variants.

• Electrical troubleshooting: Battery service, fuse replacement, lighting maintenance, symptom-based troubleshooting tables, and FI warning-lamp blink codes.

This manual is suited to owners handling operating checks and routine upkeep; KTM marks tasks requiring specialist knowledge and recommends an authorized KTM workshop for those jobs.

Controls and Service Scope

The controls chapter explains the clutch, throttle, and electric starter, while the multifunctional speedometer instructions cover display modes and setup. Separate speedometer sections cover the standard models and SIX DAYS version.

Service schedules and valve-clearance specifications are included. Full valve-adjustment, internal engine repair, and transmission overhaul procedures are outside this owner's manual's scope.

WP Suspension and Steering

Separate instructions distinguish the WP 4860 MXMA PA fork from the SIX DAYS 4860 4CS unit, which separates compression and rebound adjustment between the fork legs. This helps you match the setup instructions and triple-clamp torque data to the installed fork before front-end repair.

Static and riding sag illustrations accompany spring-rate tables and WP PDS 5018 DCC shock settings. Lower triple-clamp drawings show the bearing and seal arrangement. KTM also notes that lubricants can damage the Teflon coating on the lower shock heim joint.

Brakes, Wheels, and Hydraulic Clutch

The brake sections illustrate pad-retaining hardware and specify disc and lining wear limits. EXC-F and XCF-W front-brake lever adjustments are identified separately. Brake repair requires professional workmanship, as emphasized in KTM's brake-pad replacement sections.

Hydraulic clutch service includes a fluid-change procedure using KTM bleed syringe 50329050000. Chain and sprocket inspections cover wear measurement, chain-guide condition, and rear-wheel alignment.

Fuel, Intake, and Exhaust Service

Fuel-tank removal and installation address the pump connection and fuel-line coupling. KTM warns that contamination at this connection can clog the injector.

Preparation sections distinguish air-filter protection for dry sand, wet sand, and muddy conditions. Separate EXC-F and XCF-W silencer exploded views show the different internal arrangements used in the repacking procedures. Throttle-cable routing and free-play checks are also covered.

Cooling and Seasonal Care

The cooling chapter explains the radiator-cap pressure valve and the thermoswitch-controlled fan fitted to SIX DAYS and XCF-W models.

Refueling, storage, and return-to-service instructions cover fuel handling and battery care. Winter-operation guidance addresses road-salt corrosion.

Electrical Troubleshooting and Reference Data

The troubleshooting tables address starting problems, power loss, overheating, and battery discharge. FI blink-code charts identify sensor and actuator circuit faults, with lambda-sensor entries specifically labeled for EXC-F EU and SIX DAYS models.

Fuse assignments distinguish the EFI control unit, fuel pump, lighting, and auxiliary circuits. Fault-memory readout is referred to KTM's diagnostic tool; wiring diagrams and detailed electronic component-test procedures are outside this manual's scope.

The document lists specific torque values for chassis and engine fasteners, fluid capacities, electrical specifications, and tire-pressure guidelines for off-road use and EXC-F road use.
