Another good trick with the Ktm and husky when doing an oil change is that when you drain the screen or the oil filter that you can wrap a little bit of aluminum foil around the frame so it doesn’t get all over the fram and flows right into the oil drain instead of making a mess

Great video guys. I always see guys with bikes who buy aftermarket parts to make their bike look cool or perform better but never do any maintenance. So instead of servicing suspension, engine, or brakes they throw parts at it to try to compensate for degraded performance. These guys need to watch your videos.

14.00 *Japanese* screws are often a specialized size, getting the correct tool for the screw results in less stripping - yes they do 'stick' but I have found that people who use the incorrect tool often strip more often than those that use the correct tool

Some great tips man well done! I find with the vacuum bleeder keep it on sucking and slowly tighten the brake calliper bleeder nipple when new fluid is coming through. You will never have to manually pump and hold the lever ever again and never have to reverse bleed. Absolute Rock solid lever everytime. Works perfectly for bleeding hydraulic clutch also. Dirt bikes and sport bikes. Also try the bellray filter oil it doesn't run out of the air filter it stays in.

I use my knee to push. I put on my knee pad and use my knee put push the caliper in. Works great on the trail or at a gas stop. If you drag brakes the 25 dollar bottle works well on the rear. I don't, but I use cheaper and bleed often. Use a hand mighty vac, but just bought a hand pump pressure bleeder for my truck to replace the MC. Will have to test that out. Also, when tie the handle to bar turn the bars so the MC is higher than the hoop.

You started to explain that you don't warm up the engine before you drain the oil. But you got over it in a second. ;-) So why don't you warm up the engine? I don't do it too. In my theory the oil is already down in the engine so why should I pump it around before I want to drain it.

@@deanowilliams6400 I add some of my 1450ml to the filter housing and run my bike for a bit to get accurate oil reading. 1500ml is too much as the manual says. But better not to starve the engine from oil to be on the safe side.

How much transmission oil do you normally get out of a 2020+ KTM 300? I believe manual says it takes 800mL but I’ve only ever seen 720-760 mL drain out. I know some remains in the engine just curious exactly how much you are you draining and putting back in? I never know if 720 is too little or if 770 is too much...
@jayclark53313 жыл бұрын

@thepatternforms8593 жыл бұрын
@@jayclark5331 isnt it impossible to get all of the oil out though? meaning that if you put 800 in then you are really *above* 800 in actuality which is above the recommendations? i bought a brand new bike in year 2021 (300) and only drained 720 mL out of it after bringing it home...other videos on youtube confirmed they also drained only 720mL and then verified fullness using the spill bolt on the side confirming that about 80mL always remains inside despite full draining procedures...so ive just been adding back 720mL not the 800....any thoughts?
