I've been considering a small line to have it slightly remote mounted. I'll have to see how the heat effects it.

Try working on a Ducati.. :)

@vijayam1 had an M900, M800, M620 and S4R, but they didn't put me off in that way. I did belt services on the dues, but not the quattro...

@oom_701 idle reset is not just a KTM thing. Many manufacturers have this as a feature. Yes, the fueling was likely effected by adjusting the timing chain tensioner. Especially my setup as I have longer duration cams. I found that a little fuel helps a fair amount with having a more stable idle.

Good question, I'll have to have a look.

@@RhoadsChristopher yea I got a ridiculous idea Using the cam shaft why don't I stick a supercharger to it That's why I need the size of that bolt

@Cyp-k4n good morning, idle relearn does not require special software. Follow the steps in the video.

@Cyp-k4n how many miles? When is the last time you did valve checks

@ Rhoadschristopher good morning I will give you some background this bike was assembled in the Philippines, I am in the Philippines the issue with hard starting and cutting off when I down shift some times seem to only happen to the bikes assembled in south east Asia . This bike has only 5 thousand miles on it , would the valve clearances be off already? Thanks for your input and let me know if you have any other suggestions, I am away right now will check it out when I get back Thanks cyp

@bekenvower i can see the hesitation. I assume you've seen the original video I put out a while ago. To answer your question. There is not a torque rating for the tensioner part itself. That would be difficult to do as chains will vary based on how old they are and ware. The method I have found to work best and best on the instructions is to finger tighten until you can't. Then, rotate the engine and give it a few more turns as the engine rotates. At the end, you loosen it by 1/4 of a turn. I don't trust KTM tensioners for a lot of reasons and would much rather use a manual unit. If you have more questions, hit me up.

Actually we have to be always look for the testing is screw right in front of the tensioner by removing the 10th external board right so we have to Lucent and Retreat the minus with a minus so you could care about what to do home aware and furthers always talking but the harassing we wear facing WhatsApp

@@RhoadsChristopher Thank you bro, I do really appreciate your advice, I am gonna follow it once I have to install the manual Tensioner.

@@g-rk9510 Alright bro, I will do that, thank you for taking the time to share it.

@simplerick3851 thanks! After a few months, I finally wrapped up another project as well. I'll be posting that one soon.

@@ClintEwingFreestyle yeah there has always been a bit of contention on that one. Lots of 1st gens have them doubled up on the other side.

@sbsb4995 nope, has to happen no matter what with these bikes. It's seen cracked heads from not doing it.

The gold rod? Or shift arm?

⁠@@RhoadsChristopherya the gold rod thanks

@@stevie9361 secretly I wish mine was black hahahaha

@lukanissila3914 yes they can, but on a 2nd gen it's usually not an issue. They fixed the head casting flaw on 2017+ heads

You know, I literally went to bed and woke up this morning feeling like an idiot because I realized the exact same thing this morning hahaha. I got it back toget and all is good! Now I gotta sort the rear out.

@WillfulThinker hey. Send me an email and we can text. This might need more troubleshooting then going back and forth on KZbin. [email protected]

@@ivanrybkin9384 thanks, I addressed the issue. Interestingly enough, it drove completely.normal.

@andrewsbbq I would absolutely do a CRC spray to help prolong it. However, it will have to br done no matter what at some point.

@RS-nl2lp awesome! Hopefully, I can do a more in-depth review of the head. I'd like to compare them in the future if possible.

@padillaxA I have! I've been looking at their stuff and I'm really curious about what springs they are using for that kit. I have a few more things before getting it ready for the dyno. I absolutely have a goal to see what it is making.

@RhoadsChristopher hell yea! Can't wait to see whats in store. Heard several people talk about getting near or hitting the 60hp mark but I've yet to see it, seems a bit ambitious to me but I don't mind being wrong.

@@user-gi1md8yj2v thank you for all the effort you put in to comment. All have been replaced.

Now that you are online, can you perhaps explain to me how to tension the manual timing chain tensioner? I have it, but I don't know how hard to tension it.

The headgasket and the tensioner are the only ones experienced. This video is made up to capture ALL issues that are deemed as common problems with the bike. A basic rider will likely experience just a handful of these issues, certainly not all of them.

​@@RhoadsChristopher certainly the possibility of having some of this issules (like experienced by yourself) really keep me at bay from buying it... I mean, I'd like to make a long trip (not the best bike for that, I know) so don't wanna get stranded somewhere remote. Thx for the review!!

KTM is now part owned by Bajaj. Don't go thinking the current Austrian bikes are much better. I think Pierer Mobility has been pushing cost cutting and maximising expansion, rather than letting the engineers "fix" all the issues that their bikes seem to suffer. In fact, they seem to be reintroducing problems that previous models were supposed to have addressed.

Howdy, the repair manual on pg 149 describes them as screw, camshaft bearing bridge. It is listed for 11 nm or 8.1 ftlbs

I’m working on a 2017 and our manuals are different, obviously haha. I was just using this as a reference video since I know a majority of the engine is relatively the same still.

reach back out to ie about that because it may be something with the file. You do have to flash the "install" before the actual tune I ran into a similar problem.

Which intake dp you have

@@RhoadsChristopher We are building a fs car with ktm 390 duke engine. Its all customised. Could you suggest anything. Also do u have any social where i can get connected to u?

Sounds like the gear position sensor.
