2 Stroke Oil Injector Pump Replacement | KTM and Husqvarna

[@stone4858]

Great video. I've had mine for 140hrs now, but I'm going to change it at 150hrs. The cost for a new oil pump is €100

[@glennalderton1313]

I test my oil pump the way Tokyo Offroad suggested. It's gone from 9.5ml delivery at 75 hours, down to 7.5ml at 100 hours and I'm now doing the piston and pump. Rather be safe than sorry. A mate left it until 150hours and had to have a complete rebuild, top and bottom end. The oil pump just delivered less and less until it was too late. He never really noticed it so there must be some point where it just got too weak to pump properly.

[@joejohnston471]

Great tip on capping off the oil tank. However KTM also recommends cleaning the oil screen at the same time so wouldn't you have to drain the tank no matter what?

[@laurapalmerTDGE]

No.

Where do you get a wake up plug?

[@שחרפרדו]

Do you recommend to change the oil pump when I change the piston?

[@emtbrides5830]

I saw a litte dirt inside the oil cap. How can I clean whole oil line? And is it now recommended to change the oil pump?

[@rmatvmc]

There's an oil screen in the bottom of the oil tank, drain the oil, clean that off and see how much dirt is actually in there. I'm guessing there's not much in there and you'll probably be fine with just cleaning that. If there's a noticeable amount, make sure nothing got through, and if it did, then I would replace the pump and find out where the dirt is coming from like a damaged cap or tank. -Charles

@@rmatvmc Thanks for your reaction. I have the exc 2019 model so that don't have the screen

[@Santolofish]

How do you drain the oil tank with removing the pump ? I put belray s H1R in a 2020 te300i :/

[@suzuki06g]

Replacing the pump after only 80 hours does seem excessive when compared to the '70's mechanical oil pumps that never seem to wear out. But those were driven off of the crank where these have their own internal motor. The other difference is that the old pumps always injected at the same ratio where as the KTM pump varies from 100:1 down to 60:1 (I believe), those old systems couldn't do that. Can-Am in their early TNT and Qualifier models did throttle their injection pumps, not sure of the ratio but they could have something for KTM to learn.

[@dirtbikeguy8254]

70's Yamaha 2 stroke oil pumps were connected to the throttle cable. The amount of oil injected varied according to throttle position.

[@suzuki06g]

@@dirtbikeguy8254 yes, the pump was spun off the crank and the amount of oil delivered was based on the throttle position.

[@mistersubby]

Great video. Thank you very much.

[@sandysmith7485]

WTF Every 80 hours. I have owned back in the 70s several Suzuki TS- trail- street bikes that used oil pump injection. Never failed with over 20,000 miles on a couple of TS 185s. So sad that Co. now design stuff not to last. Pure greed, those bikes are over priced. Ride safe my 2 wheel friends.

[@jeremystratton3368]

I highly doubt you have to replace to oil pump every 80 hours lol. I mean come on you can get at-least 350 hrs out of a snowmobile oil pump.

[@HybridEdits]

Jeremy Stratton wtf does a top end every 80hrs as well? Most ktm 2ts i have ever seen have upwards of 300hrs on a motor rebuild each time. Given that most 2t ktm’s are woods bikes or enduro bikes not ran very hard in the rpms.

[@RacerRed]

I have a 1966 YAMAHA 100cc twin - never had the oil pump replaced and still runs strong

[@jeremystratton3368]

That would have a mechanical oil pump, different technology.

[@sandysmith7485]

I know that. So it took them 50+ years to using modern tech, the best design engineers to make it not to last. That way ktm gets more $$ out of you again.

[@shanebrain]

where do you get the wake up plug? do you need it?

[@airindiana]

Yeah. You can get it off a KTM/Husqvarna/gas gas dealer. It’s £20 in UK money. Prob same in USD.

[@adambatchelder4121]

Glad to see the saw rack, we need to promote the importance of cutting logs off trail and not train up the woods going around logs.

[@mattiasmyrman]

Did anyone experience a pump break down? And at what hours? I heard they should typically hold for much longer than 80 hours. Then spoke to me local dealer and mechanics and he really urged me to exchange it now. I'm at 110 h. He said he has seen plent of them break down before that... so I'll do it now. But still hesitant this thing can be so crappy...

[@midlan6]

My bike have 210 hours. Seems that previous owner didn't change it. Oil pump works fine. According to some test from Poland, it seems that the pump adds more oil as it wears out. Maybe thats the reason of my fouled spark plug. I will be changing the oil pump soon.

[@goodboyringo9716]

KTM should discontinue the oil pump, mixing is no big problem

[@alexmaclean1]

I wonder how many people just bypass it and mix their fuel anyway.

[@Gowieee]

You can't.

[@shanebrain]

you can. my oil pump is not working..justmix your oil direct into the tank

[@onthethrottle7104]

@@shanebrain Go ahead, but you will sieze your engine. TPI is not designed to lube the crank with oil in the fuel.

80 hours top end and oil pump - 2 strokes are getting expensive... :)

How much is a pump?

$100 US

What a robbery. 80 hours, yeah sure!

This is what tree huggers have down to our bikes.

[@johnnyreb86]

I hate tree huggers as much as the next dirt biker, but I have a husky 300tpi and it’s the best bike I’ve ever owned. 40mpg, 51hp, no mixing gas, no vibration, runs perfect no matter the elevation or temperature, electric start fires instantly. I put 100 hard hours on it so far and I’m just doing the top end and oil pump replacement even though it still runs perfect just to be safe. My old cr250 isn’t half the bike this husky(ktm) is.

[@mecalpsha4473]

@@johnnyreb86 KTM/Husky is where it is at - they have spent a lot on R&D and support 2 strokes.

[@wildone2163]

what a poor design, pathetic...

[@onthethrottle7104]

Looking back four years later the TPI has ended up being an amazingly great design and it works super good. Most seizures have come from owners not warming bikes up correctly or not replacing things when they should. It's great to take your TPI to any elevation and not worry about jetting. Also, you can just put pump fuel in the tank and not mess with oil mixture. Yes has drawbacks, but over 12 million TPI bikes out there and 99% of them work flawlessly. We've taken our TPI's where no man has gone ever before, time and time again, and back with no issues. These bikes are a dream!!!!
