Tips n Tricks Offroad - KTM SXF 250-350

BIKE: KTM SXF 250-350

TOPIC: The TPS [throttle position sensor] that is mounted to the throttle body and on the SXF250-350 is vulnerable to high pressure water spray.

Suggested preventive measure

1. As a set up tip during pre-delivery or at the servicing of the SXF250/350 ask your KTM mechanic to seal the TPS with silicone as shown in the pictures below, it is important that the grey area be sealed to the black base of the TPS.
2. We encourage owners to take care when washing the bike in this area, and do not use direct high pressure water spray on the throttle body.

NOTE- We hope to source a boot in the near future that will further protect this component from high

pressure water spray.
