About the KTM RC 250

Overview

The KTM RC 250 is a motorcycle from KTM. It has been discontinued. Mechiee still services it at your doorstep. With a 249 cc engine it sits in the 150–250 cc class.

Engine and performance

Power comes from a 249 cc liquid-cooled engine that makes 31 HP. Its bore is wider than its stroke (72.0 x 61.1 mm), a short-stroke layout that generally favours higher revs. Divide power by kerb weight and it has about 214 PS per tonne; by that measure, it is lively, with easy overtakes and relaxed highway speeds.

Gearbox

It has a 6-speed manual gearbox.

Chassis, brakes and tyres

Braking is by a 300 mm disc at the front and a 230 mm disc at the rear. It rides on 17-inch wheels — 95/75-R17 at the front and 115/75-R17 at the rear.

Size, comfort and range

The seat is 820 mm off the ground, which is about average and suits most riders. It weighs 147 kg ready to ride. The wheelbase is 1,340 mm. It carries 10 L of fuel.

Maintaining the KTM RC 250

  • Routine servicing

    Follow the schedule in the owner's manual for your exact variant and year. A regular service is the cheapest way to catch small problems before they become expensive ones.

  • Engine oil & filter

    Engine oil is the single most important consumable to keep fresh. Top up between services if the level drops, and change it on schedule.

  • Brake inspection

    With Single disc, 300 mm, 4-piston calipers, ABS and Single disc, 230 mm, floating, single-piston caliper, ABS brakes, check pad or shoe wear, lever and pedal free play, and braking feel at every service.

  • Chain cleaning & lubrication

    A clean, correctly tensioned and lubricated chain lasts longer and wastes less power. Check slack regularly, especially after riding in rain or dust.

  • Coolant & cooling system

    A liquid-cooled engine relies on coolant. Check the level and look over hoses and the radiator for leaks or damage, and replace coolant as the owner's manual directs.

  • Air filter & spark plug

    A clogged air filter or worn spark plug shows up as hard starting, weak throttle response and poorer fuel economy. Both are checked at a regular service and replaced when worn.

  • Disc brake fluid

    Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point. Have its level and condition checked and change it on the interval in the owner's manual.

  • Tyre inspection

    This bike runs 95/75-R17 / 115/75-R17 tyres. Check pressure, tread depth and sidewalls, and replace tyres that are worn or cracked.

  • Battery & electricals

    Weak starting, dim lights or a flickering console are early signs the battery or charging system needs a look.

KTM RC 250 specs explained

What the technical terms on this page mean.

ABS
Anti-lock braking system. It stops a wheel locking up during hard braking so the rider can keep steering. A single-channel system works on one wheel, usually the front; a dual-channel system works on both.
Liquid cooling
Coolant circulates through the engine and a radiator, keeping temperatures steadier than air alone, especially in traffic or under load.
Kerb weight
The weight of the bike ready to ride, with its fluids and fuel, but without a rider or luggage.
Bore x stroke
The cylinder's width and the piston's travel. A larger bore relative to stroke tends to favour revs; a longer stroke tends to favour low-speed pull.
Compression ratio
How much the fuel-air mixture is squeezed before it is ignited. It is one of the factors behind an engine's efficiency and power.
