Official 350 EXC-F EU, 350 EXC-F SIX DAYS EU, 350 EXC-F AUS, 350 XCF-W USA & 350 XCF-W SIX DAYS USA Motorcycle Repair & Service Guide - Owner's Manual 2014

KTM 350 EXC-F & XCF-W Series Owner's Manual - 2014 Edition

This technical publication provides the authoritative framework for the operation and maintenance of the 2014 KTM 350cc four-stroke enduro series. It establishes standardized protocols for system longevity and structural integrity through factory-validated procedures. Adhering to the precise valve clearance specifications—Intake at 0.10…0.15 mm and Exhaust at 0.13…0.18 mm—is vital for ensuring optimal volumetric efficiency and preventing terminal valvetrain failure during high-thermal load cycles.
