The manual states oil changes after every race or fifteen hours of use. Expedition riding is typically much easier on the engine than enduro training or especially racing, so the oil should perform longer than fifteen hours. This was also the unofficial view of an unnamed KTM tech with decades of experience with KTM race engines. They quote; "The new compact crankshaft increases inertia without increasing weight, while the new big-end bearing design increases reliability and durability, for long service intervals of 135 hours." The engine was updated this year, on both the 2017 500 EXC and the fe501s. Posted December 4, 2016. Yes, it's one of the oil filter cover threads that were stripped. I spoke with one of the KTM mechanics where I bought the bike and he was talking about just tapping to a larger bolt but, I have no experience with this so that's why I'm here. I'd like to keep the same bolt. Thanks for the replies. Spud786. Posted August 13, 2017. 185 to 210 is normal expected range, and as long as you are not boiling over. I believe the fan is designed to come on around 210 degree and shut off around 201 degree. But post 90 degree in slow forrest stuff, expect the fan to be on a lot. The amount of oil depends on how high you want the oil level. You won't need any more than two litres (it's handy to have a spare bottle if you only use a litre). KTM recommend the oil level to be between 120-90mm from the top of the forks (measured with spring removed). The easiest way to get the right level in each leg is to use a syringe Im running 15/47 right now (500), with a vortex thats mapped for best power, and sees 40 to 42 mpg, is about average (but yeah Ive seen the 40 mpg break to the down side in winter. Its pretty simple to lean out some and gain a couple mpg points, if needed (as I also run a fuel tuner for fine tuning).
