KTM 300 TBI Top End | Using The TSP ERM On a 300 KTM | The Shlog

[@gothatnocat6965]

The AcePro camera has really good stabilization and image quality. The audio was noticeably better than the other camera. Gonna get me one and not waste my time and money with a GoPro. Another really good Shlog, thanks Morgan!

[@highlandcycles]

Awesome. The camera is very good

[@coloradocrawler2010]

Pro tip (not for Morgan of course): if you should happen to scratch a piston a little while installing circlips, have a little jewler file and very fine grit emory cloth handy. You can carefully file down any proud material and polish the damage up with the emory cloth. The most important factor is to not leave any raised material that will damage a cylinder wall.

[@highlandcycles]

Yep

[@scottcoplin8322]

Another great shlog, someday maybe teardown of the new powervalve. Camera clarity at the end is great and mic sounds good.

[@highlandcycles]

I will definitely do that when I do the next top end on my bike

[@cplandrew]

Looking forward to seeing that first ride on the beta! 🤘

[@d.brayman3165]

Great Shlog, as usual!!! I like the fact that you can use the ERM as a scan tool on more than one machine. Definitely increases its value.

[@highlandcycles]

100%

[@1stTrackMoto]

Great info on those “mule Ez clips” I had no clue but I know half the stuff jeff calls “mule” is just a cover brand for someone else’s product

[@highlandcycles]

Yep. Just a KTM part number

[@Johnny_Sendit]

would love to see Morgan get his hands on a set of his "Proprietary" forks lol

[@onthethrottle7104]

Great shlog as always and I have had so many arguments on installing a slightly thicker base gasket than what came off... been doing that for years and always have excellent success. Thank you for solidifying that good method. As for the new camera, I can't wait to find a better, more reliable camera than my NoGo camera, you cannot rely on GoPro's at all.

[@obgod3]

Cool stuff, just got my ERM and medium head from SB, but dang if I can’t get that idle screw out, been working it for 3 hours…hope the TSP and ERM work with the stick idle screw in there.

[@highlandcycles]

They do

[@luislozada6445]

Likes the last 3 words your dirt bikes 😂😂😂🤘🏻Morgan loves the Shlogs always good info learn something on every shlog

[@elkku2934]

On my ktm 125 sx i was able to put the c clips on with just my fingers. I practiced like 15 minutes on the old piston so I wouldnt scratch the new one and then it was super easy

[@highlandcycles]

The 125 clips are WAY easier than the 250/300

[@lukekelly5115]

The 300/250 one is like 3x thicker lol if you could do one with your fingers I'd be so damn impressed lol

[@highlandcycles]

@@lukekelly5115 agree

[@painsrides]

Wow!! The AcePro has some seriously good image quality and the stabilization is so smooth its a little freaky... Can you hurry up can go get Cecilia dirty and busted up so I can stop drooling over it?? 😉

[@highlandcycles]

That video drops tomorrow

[@jameswampler3135]

Love the shlogs!

[@calvinjones2745]

PRC!!!🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

[@richardhartley1705]

That bike looks sweet👍

[@Doublee2020]

Hey Morgan, was wondering if u can do a quick video on ur xr650r, just all the mods u got on it, I know ur busy, but sure would be cool too see old maria👍 thanks Erik,

[@highlandcycles]

Yeah

[@olliechristopher467]

Yes!! Morgans biggest fan gets first comment!! Nice being retired!! I do have to pause this for a Dr. appointment LOL!! Lets hope these goofballs can refrain from the stupid comments. I really enjoy these tech videos. You are a very old school hands on tech. you knoiw your business for sure.

[@highlandcycles]

You're the best!

[@C3Enduro]

Looking forward to the Beta content!

[@randytidwell5836]

quick question why does a 2 stroke use a wrist pin bearing and 4 strokes don't?

[@highlandcycles]

Oil. 2T bikes don’t get a ton of lube up there because oil is in gas. 4T bikes get oil everywhere

[@jonsainsbury8726]

With the fork clickers installed, how do you bleed the air?

[@highlandcycles]

There is a cutout

[@DSHoss]

Did you hone the cylinder on the top end rebuild? I know it’s a controversial topic but am curious if you do it or not. Love the content!

[@highlandcycles]

I normally do. I did not on this one because the crosshatch was very good still.

[@SethMacgillivary]

What is detonation and how does it happen and how do you know

[@highlandcycles]

It’s when two flame fronts collide in the combustion chamber. It’s a knocking sound.

[@SethMacgillivary]

@@highlandcycles what causes a second flame the first flame from spark plug right?

[@byronfrick7155]

They definitely ripped off sherco on that pv actuator 😂

[@highlandcycles]

Yep

[@greeneman99710]

Was curious how many inches did you cut off silencer?

[@highlandcycles]

It was about 4-5.

[@wfodavid]

A good top is when you take your tank of wash off the bike and alleviate the chance of dirt falling in the crank.

[@norcalendurorider7458]

Audio was a lot better with the new camera!

[@Mostviews111]

I wonder if people are putting too thin of base gasket on it so that's causing it to hit.

[@highlandcycles]

That wouldn't lower the piston

[@onthethrottle7104]

That's what the guy says on the Pinit site but that guy has no clue what he's talking about. The piston would still be in the same position clearance wise.

[@highlandcycles]

@@onthethrottle7104 yeah. I don’t know if I’d listen to him if he thinks that

[@ILikebigRuttz]

@@onthethrottle7104Wrong, that’s not what he’s saying at all. HIS bike had too small of a base gasket and factory tolerances are trash.

[@ILikebigRuttz]

The piston issue is the thickness of the skirt on the inside of the piston at the bottom. I would get measurements on the skirt to solve the mystery gang.

[@adamkinmond2125]

you should have pulled the power valve apart. No one on KZbin has done it. Hopefully Jeff doesn't beat you to it.

[@highlandcycles]

I did on a new video coming soon

[@SpeedDemonExpress]

108 hours. Dang. I was thinking about doing my top end at 60 hours on my '23 300sx. But it is a track bike. I race B class.

[@highlandcycles]

Never. Bad idea. But the off road guys (like me) don’t rev the bike as much.

[@woodysrockspyro6436]

Waited till 160hrs on my 23 sherco 250... everything was fine. Yes.. I ride it like I stole it.

[@keithjohnson3993]

🤘🤘🤘

[@highlandcycles]

🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@Tsxtasy1]

3:59 makes me wonder what gas he’s running

[@highlandcycles]

Not sure.

[@BLSdarrin]

Soup Nazi Jeff says " No EZ clips for you ! "

[@highlandcycles]

Hahahaha
