Installing a bladder kit on a KTM Shock | RK Tek Head | The Shlog

[@timothyshuls]

Way to go with the kids! I couldn’t agree more. We need more kids like that!

[@daddister7471]

I've watched every shlog in its entirety and don't think you should change a thing! The shorter topic-specific vids are great as well. Just keep doin' what you're doin'!

[@highlandcycles]

Thanks man

[@AILEXzGB]

Schlog length is perfect! Love the diversity of bikes you work on, lot to learn from you guys

[@highlandcycles]

Thanks

[@yz5002]

Everything about this channel is AWESOME!!!!!! Such great content, coupled with a really charismatic and entertaining presenter. Love the 30 minute format. Even though I know its coming, the sign off (ride your DIRTBIKE!) makes me laugh every time. Keep up the great work Morgan.

[@highlandcycles]

Thanks so much

[@jamal6767]

Yes keep the 30 minutes Vlogs please. Love them

[@painsrides3616]

I upgraded to a Race Tech shock bladder in the TE, it really smooths out the high speed hits.(apparently the bladder works much better than Fast Flex bars at smoothing things out 🤣🤔) . I'm happy with the length of the Shlogs... I watch them while I'm eating dinner, its just about the right amount of time. 👍.

[@Fr0z3nFr0g]

I love the shlogs. Helped me do a ton of work on my own bike and made me wanna visit you guys on our trip back in August! Thanks again for the camping spot on the Uncompahgre Plateau!. I could see how it would get cumbersome to make the videos through the work week and you can only show certain things so many times, but just getting to see the crap you godda fix, common problems people have, uncommon problems, and the general maintenance is pretty cool.

[@highlandcycles]

Thanks

[@davemacpherson153]

Great job. Like all that you do. Great info. Your approach keep me laughing 🙂

[@rgretchen]

You've convinced me to do the bladder kit conversion on my 21 GasGas EC300.

[@highlandcycles]

It’s good.

[@fmtnic]

I love the Shlogs! 30 minutes is great! perfect length.

[@dirtriderxc3009]

I think the time of your scholgs are great…other vids are amazing and so jealous of the new bike!!!!

[@highlandcycles]

Thanks man

[@jerrymccartney8365]

Thanks for all the great content and the length of the shlog vids is perfect.

[@rrichr2639]

Change the PV spring to red on the 250. It will come to life. I like the new head

[@elvispusley3515]

The older Beta’s had some issues but I believe the 2022 and up are great. Some of us have had enough of the orange bikes. Great vlog!

[@joejones711]

No, no, no. We don’t take a back seat to your New Bike. 😝 Great video, keep it up. Love you guys

[@609enduro]

TpiLyfe !!!!! Rk head is like ol school leaded gas for these things. My TBT bladder is still goin strong. At least when my wheels are on the ground LETSS GOOO.. 30 min is my sweet spot, that's a treadmill session for me and I watch while I suffer.

[@rogercrandall2705]

First of all thank you for taking time to speak with me on the telephone the other day (im the guy from Eastern Tennessee) . With the piece of junk 790 KTM 🍋🍋🍋. And from what I remember there are only a few of those safety bolts on the Betas.( I seen the 1 on the head on my 2020 Beta 300 myself & al I can figure is it’s some kind of a European EPA tamper resistance B.S. I think your length is fine on your video and anybody that’s watching these to the end are pretty much Motorcycle enthusiast (especially in the dirt bike realm) so I don’t see you needing to do anything different myself and the fact that your channel is growing seems to substantiate that fact. So I say just keep it going as you are. Take Care,John From TN

[@highlandcycles]

Thanks

[@andrecontois8510]

Woo! DIRTBIKES! Been missing that ending. I've said something before about DIRTBIKES is real and video games aren't! To me at least. Hope the boys enjoy the time wrenchin.

[@spoderacing3910]

I like the length of the shlog. Keep ‘‘em coming. 👍

[@highlandcycles]

Thanks

[@bradwheaton2299]

I watch a TON of your videos and love the content. Keeping the new XC specific vids separate is great cause I am thinking of buying one and love when you get deep into it! Also love your Shlog where we see all the daily happenings around random work! 30-60 min Shlogs work for me while I'm at work! ;) Punk Rock Club 4 Life!

Schlong length is good! What is the capacity of your ultrasonic cleaner to fit shock bodies etc?

10L

[@nick4872]

Schlog length is perfect. I have my 18 XCW running great with the mikuni. But I know the Keihin would be even better. Would you invest in a Keihin or RK Tek first?

[@highlandcycles]

RK Tek

[@ALDA2479]

1 thing for the internet to be ur relaxing time after hard days of physical labor another thing for it to be ur all the time as it is for lot kids even my own anymore it's sad when I was kid we entertained are selfs all day with trees and sticks isn't till the current times that we learned just how special a imagination really is

[@camwoodsend2097]

I remember you saying Kelsey said to feed your 125 KTM more fuel with the addition of the RK Tech head. My Carb'd KTM 300 also was happier with more fuel after the RK head. Wouldnt the TPI want more fuel as well with the RK head? Keep it up Morgan, Love the 300XC TBI build vids!

[@highlandcycles]

I think so. It might not work for me if it lowers the mileage more

[@watts300]

These lengths are fine, by the way. Anything under an hour is good for me.

[@highlandcycles]

Awesome. Thanks

[@chriswill7674]

Timing is fine

[@philipsmith6152]

Great video, there is a warm process in the owner manual the calls for the bike to be started with the cold start button pulled out, this activates the cold start map in the ecu and this makes it run rich to help stop cold seizing??

[@highlandcycles]

Hmmm good to know

[@philipsmith6152]

@@highlandcycles FYI, I got that info from TSP

[@kananisA75]

That air screw on the grom, the first one, i think it's supposed to be on the mark that it has from the factory and you should never touch it, except if you do a map on the ECU, they use that screw as a base to calibrate the injection system. That's what the honda dealer told me when i had the same issue on my honda scooter, which has the same basic injection system as the grom.

[@highlandcycles]

Yeah. I ended up putting it back. I think it needs a re flash or something because it’s way too lean

[@kananisA75]

@@highlandcycles in my case it ended up being the throttle body needing to be cleaned.

[@bigtoe707]

Morgan, love the shlogs. I’m getting ready to purchase a ultrasonic cleaner and was wondering what flavor of fabuloso you use? Is it just the regular cleaner or are you using something from the complete line?

im still undecided if i should go to a bladder kit on my tx300 , dont they have issues with nitrogen leaking ?

[@highlandcycles]

No. If you service your suspension as often as you should (40-60hrs) it’s not a problem at all.

[@enduro-parts-aus]

@@highlandcycles unfortunetly im the 100 hour + servicer 😅

[@vailguy99]

Do you put in a new bladder at those intervals?

[@highlandcycles]

@@vailguy99 no, just service. The leaking is like a tube in a tire leaking. Just “air” it back up. At 60hrs I rarely see any drop in pressure. It’s the 150hrs between servicing folks that have issues 🤦🏼‍♂️

Everyone has a different starting procedure for the TPI - really weird

Not sure a bladder is better than a piston per se , just better than the plastic wp piston
