Keep posting guys! I’ll be by this week to get more parts! 🤣 Also, had my suspension done this past winter….. I could not be happier with it! Love it so much!

Love to see you posting more videos. I had my suspension done at your shop, could not be happier. I have a 24 KTM 350 EXC-F which has the the additional drain bolt on the bottom. I change my oil frequently. It is necessary to drain the oil from the hole on the underside of the engine at every oil change?

Hey, I Just double checked with Hank, he says that the year and model you speak of does not have an additional drain bolt on the bottom. So, it sounds like you are doing it properly and not to drain from the other bolt you are seeing. Sorry for the confusion there.

Awesome video! Thanks for some really excellent practical advice for this routine service. I just broke a screw on the oil filter cover 😭😭😭 “Just snug it up… don’t put the fear it in… just be nice…” MANNN I feel like a dummy. On that topic, do you recommend a protocol for removing the broken screw?

[@sp-ktm]

Per Hank: "Extraction and helicoil insert installed. Before you attempt to extract the broken screw, it is recommended you have a professional do that. Nothing a mechanic hates more than extracting a broken screw, except extracting one someone else has tried and failed to remove. lol. "

I just bought a used Husky FC250 with 50 hrs on it. Went ahead and changed the oil and noticed what looks to be aluminum flakes in the oil screen. Nothing on the magnet drain plug or in the paper filter. any idea where this would be coming from? I cant seem to find any info online just a bunch of dead ends on forums.

[@sp-ktm]

What year? The older models often had the starter gear push into the engine case, causing aluminum flakes to come off the engine. If this is the case, remove the ignition cover and flywheel to inspect the starter gear and one way bearing.

@@22ghost392 Yes, 100% check the starter one way gear & bearing for rubbing on the case. You may also find the one way starting bearing, pressed into the back side of the flywheel, is walking its way out - causing this pressure from the gear into the case (thus causing the aluminum shavings). In that event, you'll need to press it back in and tack weld with a Tig. This may require a shop to inspect / disassemble. At least you will need a flywheel puller to inspect fully.
