A 450 EXC is a great enduro/woods bike but not a good candidate for a dual sport that will do any amount of "street" mileage. Been there, done that, sold my '04 after about 8 months. I now have an XR650 for the dual sport role, much more enjoyable on extended road trips. And a KTM 2 stroke for serious woods riding.

2023 KTM CANADA CONTINGENCY PROGRAM. KTM Canada announces details for its race contingency support program for the 2023 race season. Standing behind its READY TO RACE commitment, KTM is once again offering more than $400,000 in race rewards for amateur and professional racers at over 20 series across the country. Mar. 7, 2023. Oil Change interval? The manual says Motorex 10w50. Royal Purple 10w40 came highly recommended. Oil Filter Interval? Any better aftermarket filters for a lower price? Long and Short Screen cleaning interval? I had originally planned to clean every oil change. Valve Adjustments? How often should I be checking?
THIS IS NOT A TUTORIALKTM EXC 450 Supermoto oil change! I'm sorry for the small error in editing, that is, I forgot to put the audio of the bike! I hope you
The Owners Manual shows 15 hr oil change intervals. Some guys do just a drain (no filters/screens) at 15, then '03 KTM 450 EXC '02 KTM 640 LC4e '01 Honda XR650R Oil change for the KTM 250 EXC-F 2007 There are 3 oil filters, 2 mesh ones & 1 paper paper one. The paper one, (HiFlo HF655), is on the left side above the footpeg, there is a mesh one below the gear lever, hidden behind a bolt. The other mesh one is underneath, behind the sump guard & uses an 8mm allen key.
Most guys put topends in around 400 hrs on bikes that see typical use, if it's been raced or ridden hard then adjust downward accordingly. AS for bearings, replacing those are pretty rare but I'd imagine around 600 hrs it'll need the crank done.
Maybe KTM owners aren't woke on truck oil? Heh heh. Of course I kid. Anyway, I have a 250 exc-f that is almost ready for its first oil change. I have used truck oil in everything I own for longer than some of the peeps on this thread have been alive.

Also, keep in mind that intervals can be extended significantly based on how you’re actually riding the bike. Low stress street riding extends intervals significantly. baconandtheguacamole • 3 yr. ago. CRF450L service intervals are 600 miles for oil and 1,800 for valve check. Still pretty frequent unfortunately.
