2020 KTM 300 EXC TPI Overview

For 2020, KTM offers the 300 EXC TPI as an enduro / off-road motorcycle with 293.2 cc on tap. The 2020 KTM 300 EXC TPI is built around a Two stroke, single cylinder, with reed intake and exhaust control engine. In everyday use, the 2020 300 EXC TPI tips the scales at 101.3 kg, carries a 8.5-litre fuel tank, offers a seat height of 950 mm and spans a 1482 mm ± 10 mm wheelbase. That's roughly 97.5 kg lighter than the average enduro / off-road motorcycle in our database. Every technical detail, from suspension travel to tyre sizes, is covered in the full 2020 KTM 300 EXC TPI spec sheet below.

2020 300 EXC TPI - Pros & Cons

Strengths

  • Factory engineering: There's nothing exotic about the 2020 KTM 300 EXC TPI's spec sheet - just solid, proven engineering for what it's meant to do.

Considerations

  • Tall seat height: A 950 mm seat puts flat-footing out of reach for a lot of riders - sit on it in person before committing.
  • Modest fuel capacity: A 8.5-litre tank keeps things light but means budgeting for more frequent fuel stops on any longer ride.

Wear Points & Servicing Notes

Cooling system servicing

With Liquid cooled, thermal management is largely automatic, but the coolant has a service life of its own - replace it on the manufacturer's interval to protect the water passages and thermostat.

Brake disc and pad wear

Single 260 mm disc, 2 piston caliper up front provides the primary stopping power; inspect disc thickness and pad wear at each tyre change to catch scoring before it becomes a rotor replacement.

Suspension condition on used examples

Suspension duties are handled by 48 mm WP XACT-USD up front and WP XACT Monoshock with linkage at the rear. Weeping fork seals aren't a dealbreaker on a used bike, but they're a fair basis for negotiating price.

Frame & chassis check

The Central double-cradle-type 25CrMo4 steel chassis holds up well with normal use; on a used bike it's still worth checking the head-stock and swingarm pivot area for impact damage or corrosion.

Low-speed handling

The 300 EXC TPI's 101.3 kg kerb weight makes low-speed control noticeably less effort than on a heavier machine.

300 EXC TPI - Buying & Maintenance Guide

What to check before buying

A pre-purchase check on the 2020 KTM 300 EXC TPI should cover the same ground every time: service history, chain and sprocket condition, and any oil seepage around the casings. Start it from cold if you can - a well-kept 300 EXC TPI settles to a smooth idle within seconds.

Oil and filter changes

Oil changes are the cheapest insurance you can buy for a 300 EXC TPI's engine - keep to the manufacturer's interval rather than stretching it. Use the viscosity grade the manual specifies, not whatever's on sale.

Carburetor upkeep

A 300 EXC TPI that's sat unused is almost always a carb-cleaning job before it runs right again - float bowls and pilot jets first, since they clog before anything else.
