KTM 250 EXC / XC Starter Motor: Matching 55140001000
A search for “KTM 250 starter motor” can bring up parts for different model families. Before choosing one, keep the full XC or EXC designation beside the original part reference. That small detail makes the search much more precise.

01 / Identify your application
Do not drop the letters after KTM 250
Our starter listing identifies XC and EXC 250 applications within the 2008–2015 range and cross-reference 55140001000. Use those details together. Engine capacity alone is not enough to establish compatibility with another KTM 250 model.
In particular, do not shorten a model name when asking for fitment help. If your documents show an additional letter or suffix, include it. We need to check the bike you own, rather than assume that a similarly named model takes the same motor.
02 / Take a closer look
Compare the part before it goes in your basket.
Start with the exact KTM parts diagram for your model year. Once the original reference is established, compare the replacement’s mounting arrangement, drive end and electrical connection with the original. Our product gallery gives several views so you can make a more useful comparison than a single thumbnail allows.
03 / Prepare for the repair
KTM 250 XC / EXC: what to sort before fitting
If the starter has already been removed, keep its markings and orientation photos with the bike’s model details. A loose motor without the vehicle information is harder to identify. If another starting-system component also needs attention, have that identified separately; this listing is for the starter motor shown, not an assumed complete starting-system rebuild.
Confirm the fault first. Slow or absent cranking can involve the battery, connections or starter. Test before replacing parts. DENSO explains this diagnostic approach.
Our starter testing guide and no-start checklist help organise the next checks. Use your exact model’s workshop specifications for the repair.
1. Identify
Have the full model, year and original reference ready. Include photos if the number is missing.
2. Match
Compare the listing and gallery. Ask us to resolve any reference or physical difference before ordering.
3. Prepare
Check the workshop procedure and any extra items required so the whole job is planned.

KTM 250 XC / EXC starter FAQs
Will this also fit a KTM 250 EXC-F?
Do not assume EXC and EXC-F are interchangeable. Our listing names XC and EXC 250 applications. Send the complete model designation and original reference for a separate check.
Is 55140001000 the brand of the replacement?
No. It is the OEM compatibility reference used to identify the application. The replacement we sell is aftermarket.
What should I send you for a fitment check?
The full model designation, model year, original part reference and clear photos of the starter and its connection. Call 0437 723 708 to discuss anything that does not match the listing.
