Why is my KTM 525 MXC making so much noise?
The engine never stopped running, but it began making ugly sounds and producing less power. At our 24-hour test, Thumper Racing’s Gary Hazel said he thought the 525 engine was making too much noise and that the noise was crank related. His diagnosis was the reason I checked out the cam chain.
What kind of cam chain does a KTM 525 use?
