The dark color is due to the material that KTM started using for the clutch plates since the 2017 model. My oil is the same color as Tokyo Off-Road's oil whether I change it at 5 hours or 20 hours.

I got tired of removing that little screw to check oil levels on my 2019 300 xc-w not only because it was so small but also the wear and tear, so I purchased one of the covers with a site glass on it and it works great, plus it’s made of billet aluminum and much stronger. Purchased the cover (orange) from Slaven’s Racing in case anyones interested.

I use Motul Transoil Expert 10W40. My bike takes 710ml. I pour 800ml, level the bike and let the excess oil drain and its about 90ml. The bike is '20 300 EXC with 110 hours, oil change every 15-20 hours depending on the level of extreme.

Your oil volume is very close to what I measured. Lots of people have stripped the oil level hole threads. As such I don't use the oil level normally. Once you've measured how much you oil volume you need, just drain and refill using a measured amount and there is no risk to stripping the oil level screw threads...

So, I did my oil about the same hour-mark as you on my 2021 300 XCW. I even used a similar style oil measure/column as you. Got about the same amount of debris on the drain and also a similar amount of oil out - about 740ml. The main difference is that when I refilled with a measured 800ml, all but about 20ml went in before oil was seen coming out of the "oil level" hole. Once again - great video. Thanks. This one definitely goes to "11".

My 2022 300 XC TPI drained 700 ml.. I put 700 ml back in and checked the level via the check plug cold & the oil just trickled out the check hole.
@TokyoOffroad2 жыл бұрын
Very similar result to my measurement. The oil volume is not super critical. The manual specifies 800ml which would be well above the oil level check and would result in more clutch drag, particularly when cold, but other than that isn’t really an issue.
@danpluso3 жыл бұрын
I just did my 2020 XC 300 TPI and measured out 725ml when draining (leaning bike over to get last drips). When filling it up, I put in 770ml before it came out of the drain hole. And I was very slow to pour in after I put in 725ml; allowing the oil to settle. No idea why the difference. I drained the oil when it was hot which may change the volume a bit (manual does say to check oil level when cold). I also checked the oil level before draining to make sure a little bit came out of the check hole and I wasn't low on oil. I think measuring what you pour in is a better approach since it is more representative of what your end goal is. I will be doing another measurement this way on my next oil change to confirm the accuracy of my first pour-in measurement of 770ml.
@TokyoOffroad3 жыл бұрын
My method, as shown in the video, is to drain the oil with the bike on the side stand. I do not lean it over to drain the last bit and I do not leave it draining for an extended period of time. Sure I'm not draining as much as I could do, but I like oil changes to be quick and easy, then repeat at regular intervals. Getting out the last 10, or 20ml really doesn't bother me as it will become very diluted when fresh oil is added. When filling to measure oil capacity using the oil level drain you need to make sure that the bike is completely level or the measurement accuracy will not be good. Either way, my opinion is that the amount of transmission oil used is not super critical. Too much oil and clutch drag (especially when cold) will increase a little.

Btw, the manual for my 2020 XC 300 says 10nm for the oil check screw. I wonder why they would be different? Maybe they lowered it for 2021 because people were stripping them? EDIT: Just checked 2021 XC manual and it is 8nm so they did change it from 10nm down to 8nm. Damn, I wonder what else they changed. I think I'll just start using the 2021 manual.
@TokyoOffroad3 жыл бұрын
Good catch! Yes, many, many people have stripped the oil level check screw case threads so I'm sure that's why the spec changed to 8Nm. This is why I like to calculate how much oil I need to add after draining the oil (as shown in the video), then never use the oil level check screw again. It also makes oil changes much quicker and cleaner...

Wow, that's a lot of oil! I run a radiator fan and my clutch life on previous bikes has been good so personally don't see a good reason to increase the amount of transmission oil.

Clutch life and performance (no slipping) is good so I haven't considered using anything else.

@TokyoOffroad2 жыл бұрын
The oil volume should not affect gear shifting. I suspect that shifting will probably improve with some use as it's a new bike. However, I do recommend that you discuss with your dealer so they know in case it doesn't improve, or gets worse. Oil volume will affect is clutch drag, particularly when the engine is still cold so if you feel you have too much drag I would try less oil volume for the next oil change. I use 720ml.

Congrats on the the new bike, Mark! :) I don't really understand why you need to measure it and why don't just put the 800ml the manual says, it's not that you're putting much more and I think a bit of extra oil is on the safe side than having less.
@TokyoOffroad3 жыл бұрын
Thanks! Regarding oil level, the method detailed in the owners manual is to use the oil level hole to set the level. 800ml supposedly the total oil capacity if the engine has been stripped and cleaned. Putting 800ml in when changing oil will result in slightly increased clutch drag due to the higher oil height. But if that (drag) doesn’t bother you I don’t think it’s a problem...

It’s the bike that needs to be level, front to rear, side to side. If the ground is level and the bike is on a center stand you can measure the wheel to ground distance and adjust if necessary to get it level front to rear. Side to side you can measure the end of the handlebar grip to ground to check the left right levelness and adjust if necessary.

I always drain mine on the side stand in the same place in my garage, so the angle the bike is at is a constant. Drain to drain consistency is high. You can't drain completely (800ml) as you'd need to disassemble the bottom end and clean the oil off all parts. I do not recommend using the drain level screw each time as it is very easy to strip the thread in the case when reinstalling the screw.
