TE/TC Which KTM is closes to the TE300

XC and XCW both have the same stator but XC doesnt come with all the stuff like wire harness and rectifier....


Basically a TE is a XCW in a XC frame....

Friends with XC's just bought headlight and taillight from EE and plugged them in, so I believe recent XC's have a harness. When KTM first took lights off US spec offroad bikes, XC-W had harness and XC didn't. EE sold 2 different light kits... XC-W just lights and XC had harness etc. At some point the XC got the harness too. It might have been about the time, they started putting lights back on US spec XC-W's and Husaberg TE's My '12 Husaberg TE came with no lights, but the harness and plugs were right there. I bought an EE kit and bingo.

There is more than just the rear sub-frame and transmission difference between the two.

Yes correct. But a charging coil isn't a lighting coil. One is DC through a rectifier, and the other is AC through a regulator.

This is a mess! The only way to find out whether a UK 2016 XC has a lighting coil is to take it apart and look. KTM dealer say's no, KTM parts finder says yes for UK, US & AU spec bikes. I'll report back soon!

Looking forward to your report!

Well, just checked over my mates XC300, and the base wiring is identical to the TE300 - So it has charging and lighting coils, a regulator / rectifier, 12V DC, and 12V AC circuits.

The 2 closest are totally different.... lol

300XC - Close ratio tranny, no lights (has capability)

300XCW- Wide Ratio, Lights, PDS

The TE250 is the KTM that's closest to the TE300

That's what I thought.....

Wise guy...LOL
