Great vid

[@davidrsmith2417]

Kenny, nice vid. Could you consider buying a camera stand and then use two hands to work?

Hi mate , my 2 pressure plates has shattered it’s a mess, only a 6 hour bike did it at a beach race a week ago. Any way. The plates has shattered every where all in the bottom of engine I have cleaned it out extremely well, there’s a little hole that I can see into the transmission with a light and I see the shattered plates on there also ? What would you do ? Also brill video thanks man

[@kennyhadry]

At first I would try to flush the transmission maybe a few times? How big are the pieces of “shattered plates”?

[@wyattparbst1613]

So ive always heard that hinson plates and recluse cluch plates have more friction in it and it'll give you more speed when you're riding and I was wondering if you felt like your bike was faster because the plates are the things that make your bike faster and the stock plates do not have much friction in it and I was just curious to see if your bike had more speed afterward or is it felt difrent riding it because i aldo here it makes your vluch feel smother because if it did then looks like I'm ordering one of those right now

[@jorgeguerrero4353]

Not a faster engine, but the plates engage better therefore power to the ground is better. If u want faster 250f. U can go with big bore and a hotcams stage 2 set up.

[@kennyhadry]

Well said!

[@kurtkeeven1176]

Have you done valve adjustment and top end rebuild yet? I have the same bike and wondering when I should do that. I have 21 hours on my bike now.

[@PartyRider14]

Kind of late but I have a 2019 kx250f and i have 26 hours and it started back firing a little bit and i torn it down and checked them and they was perfect…i got to reading and they said the sound is from the mapping and that the stock maps is hard on valves…i would go 35-40 and check on a new bike

[@Blocanbentlyyahu]

I got 150 hours on a kx450f and haven’t had to do any valves top ends or anything like that and the valves are still in spec only thing I need to replace right now is my clutch plates. trail riding these bikes goes a long way

[@claytoncrookham4106]

Hey helped a lot but do you have to empty the oil to do this?

[@kennyhadry]

Na I don’t think so

[@westonw1952]

hey i was wondering how much oil you use in your bike, i have a 2008 kx250 but everytime i look online everyone recommends something different

[@the_qc_rider6896]

I look for my 2010 kx450f and for mine its around 1,2-1,3 liter of oil if you chang the oil filter and 1 liters if you dont but i would recomend changing it everytime so you know you good with that they aint that expensive

[@dnickens20115]

What ft lbs torque is needed for the spring bolts?

[@kennyhadry]

I do not torc them, never have. Just snugged em up with a t-handle. But your manual should have that information. If you don’t have a manual a quick google of make n model you can find a e-file of it!

[@frankmarcoalipio2000]

I need help! My clutch on my kx250f 2009 model is dragging. It has no clutch. Clutch won't engage properly. When I put it on 1st gear it moves and drags then shuts off. I checked the basket and it's not worned out. It has no grooves on it as well as the clutch hub/center clutch hub. Then I ordered new clutch lining but the push rod can't push the pressure plate. I adjusted the clutch cable on it's maximum adjustment but the push rod still can't push the pressure plate. It's like the clutch lining is too thick. There are no missing spacers or bearings as well. The clutch actuator is on it's maximum point but still it cant push the pressure plate. Help what should I do?

[@kennyhadry]

Have you tried adjusting the cable?

[@frankmarcoalipio2000]

Yes it is on it's maximum adjustment

[@kennyhadry]

@@frankmarcoalipio2000 might be toast bro might wanna replace that and clutch plates

[@Kasim1872]

Do you use gearbox oil or motor oil to fill that up?

[@kennyhadry]

Motor oil

[@Baby_Gorilla2]

Can hinson plates ect go in a standard clutch

[@kennyhadry]

Standard like “oem” basket? Yeah of course.

[@jdmtake1]

What does it mean when my clutch lever on the engine can move freely by hand and tension without the cable on there ?

[@kennyhadry]

Not sure I completely understand your question.

[@thomasfry3604]

There could be a spring on the shift arm thing that popped off, prolly have to pull the clutch case to hook it back up

[@ethanrogan1768]

are all the friction plates the same?

[@kennyhadry]

Yes sir

[@rasmuslund974]

Is it like that on a 2008 kx250f

[@kennyhadry]

Never worked on one myself but I’d say at least very similar

[@JiggyZigZag]

Do u re use the gasket? Im about to do my 2019 plates and wanted to know

[@kennyhadry]

The gasket for clutch cover? Yeah as long as it looks okay no rips. You’re fine

[@JiggyZigZag]

Lmao Yoo. Didnt even realize whos channel this was. I follow u on IG. I asked u about bringing that chain guide to breezewood a few weeks ago 😂 but yea man appreciate the help bro 🤘

[@kennyhadry]

@@JiggyZigZag bike life Joey?

[@JiggyZigZag]

@@kennyhadry haha yupp

[@moto_tech_braap_itout9852]

Replace it it's in expensive. I went to school for bikes and work at a dealership . Replace it

[@user-ox9js2if2i]

How long do your recommend to soak the new disks ?

[@kennyhadry]

Typically before I do anything I will drop them to soak. Then drain the oil and remove old plates. So idk maybe 15 minutes

[@ethanrogan1768]

are all the friction plates the same?

[@ethanrogan1768]

and if they do the plates come in order out of the box from top to bottom

[@kennyhadry]

There is no specific order. When you take out the old plates you will know what to start with the new. I cover that in this video.
