KTM 300 2-Stroke Oil Change!

[@mikebrown41182]

Jay is one of the best, always honest and willing to help out. I like the fact that he is talking and working on the two strokes, i honestly feel the two strokes gets more recognition than they ever had for over a decade. Do we see a "comeback". Solid video Jay.

Some people jumping on to the 2T bandwagon for the wrong reason. 2T is not for everyone

[@wayno23]

Use a tension wrench, takes out the guesswork. Good work Jay 🛠

[@andrecontois8510]

Nice reminder I probably should change mine too.

[@nathanbutler8240]

I don't get some people, won't buy oil and change it often but will buy a ton of premix and keep riding lol

[@chriscoltrain4582]

What oil are you running?

[@pjexc5500]

Thanks always very informative

[@MC0386]

Dude, you are the best!

[@motorfntrash4254]

Do you have to use 2 stroke engine oil or just regular engine oil

[@xDEATHCLINCHx]

2 stroke engine oil

[@haitzyice]

Hey Jay. the 800ml is too much. That spec book listed 800ml is referring to a dry reassembled engine. I’ve measured the drained oil amount and it is actually only comes out to be around 650ml. This has been notated by Tokyo off-road and several other ktm lovers.

[@dirtbiketv1]

Yep -- However with a larger clutch cover can easily add 50ml and the more on top of that is because it doesnt hurt anything and helps clutch life- we tend to run on the high side as your oil last longer etc--

[@haitzyice]

@@dirtbiketv1 gotcha- thanks for the reply. I figured it hadn’t been hurting much because that clip was from 9 months ago and you guys have had these bikes for a few years now. - I’ve been following your channel for a while. Thanks as always for the content!

[@andrewmasonwerdna]

650 + 50 = 700ml, so 800ml I feel there's too much oil as well, usually less oil = more power(to extent) . Thicker oil = less clutch wear(to extent). Great video!

[@spicysinglecam]

I've always used the little trick where you take the inspection bolt out, stand the bike up on a level stand and filled it up until it starts to pour out the inspection hole. Sorta like a manual transmission on a car. 😅

Great video

Is there no filter to change?

[@Zbiggie97]

Do you put the same oil in the oil injection reservoir ? Like is that that same oil that gets mixed with gas thru the oil injectors ?

[@Iamjim1]

No, you’ll want to use a dedicated two stroke mix oil.

[@eetu1607]

thats some overkill to put grease in oil plug when threads literally filled whit oil. othervise good tool tips

[@sil3nt534]

shell rotella what SAE?

[@scottbeckley5160]

Which shell rotella do you use. I have a 2023 yz250x. Manual call for sae 10w 40 SG or better. Which Rotella meets it exceeds that requirement?

[@reediversen8448]

I use t6 15-40

[@BabyRicaxO]

Hello, I have a Gas Gas 2023 250EC Two stroke just bought and about to do the first oil change. Is it the same as you demonstrated here? Is there no oil filter or oil screen? Thanks

[@keestojuusto6072]

You have probably found out already but there is no actual filter in the transmission oil. The drain plug has a magnet in it and it should catch all the metal shavings and other crap. Clean it with a towel before putting back in.

[@eetu1607]

also wery important tip, always use torque wrench on oil plug. you open and close that so meny times that if you tighten it too much threads wear out! wonder why thats not on video. as a matter of fact its very good to use torgue wrench almost every bolt on bike..

[@shogun678]

If you torque to spec that bolt will wear out fast. Also never torque the oil check bolt on these bikes. Will strip it out

[@kevinslominack97]

Does it matter if you use Rotella T4 or T5?

[@dirtbiketv1]

We use T4

[@marcialflores2741]

@@dirtbiketv1 I’ve heard good and bad things about Rotella is it actually a good oil to run? I use it in my 06 sx250 2 stroke but I don’t know if it’s good or not

[@estebans6472]

What a bike

[@tomnekuda3818]

That's not oil......it looks like chunk-style peanut butter.......LOL! Keep the faith, Tom

[@lozadazx14]

Hooolly 💩 that looks like 10,000 miles oil change so dirty

[@alechall1120]

Jay can you share a link for that threaded funnel?

[@dirtbiketv1]

Taco Moto sells them in the USA -email me if more questions

[@dirtbiketv1]

Looks like they are sold out right now. Taco Moto is the ones who sells them in the states. tacomoto.co/products/3d-printed-funnel?variant=40216280891567
