Kudos for showing the quick spring check by holding the actuator and working the lever. Your video is the only one I've seen explaining it. You did better than Slavens lol.

[@highlandcycles]

Jay Hansen thanks.

[@trent98]

I have a 21 150sx and there is a tiny difference but this video helped me so much. I appreciate it!

[@highlandcycles]

Awesome to hear

[@dirtman5997]

Excellent video Sir, to the video no opinons just quick facts . Thank you very much

[@kenbob9953]

Very helpful though different on my 150. Has the slide actuator verses toothed. RIDE YOUR DIRTBIKE

[@AndrewBoundy]

Great video. In my typical way or being overprepared, this is video 9 on the same thing - all show a different bit in more detail - this was certainly one of the better ones. Also nice to see parts in normal working condition - so many channels have perfectly clean (or new) parts all shiny and nice - and it's not like that! New Sub (KTM 250 EXC 2013 6D - Mexico)

[@highlandcycles]

Thanks so much.

[@user-sg8td6cc2y]

The third large o ring is for 250 head

[@johnharding2912]

There's two different sizes of the head o rings. 76mm and 80mm. Some models use one type, some the other. Thats why you get both in the kit I believe

[@highlandcycles]

I think you are right

[@mistersubby]

Thank you very much for this great video.

[@highlandcycles]

You bet

[@Smiling_mike]

Awesome! Thanks Morgan!

BRAAAP!

[@rsendurouk3647]

Great stuff... many thx I'll do it with next piston!!!

[@highlandcycles]

[@budgetendurogroup9635]

The extra ring is 250/300 if I’m not mistaken

[@freddiecunningham6917]

Great job

[@highlandcycles]

Thanks

[@bigjerm9657]

Thanks for the video! Should i do this every time i do a top end? Doing my first top end at 150 hours.

[@highlandcycles]

Yes

[@omarandpedro]

frikkin awesome video

[@highlandcycles]

Thanks.

[@yyabay]

You have tı use threadlocker about a kilo per bolt. Not 300gr

[@P32šTÚDIō]

I have a question about the slide. Should it have play left to right? I know it slides up and down that’s a given . But mine has side to side play quite a bit. And I don’t know if the rattling in my engine is coming from that or it’s coming from my worn out flange, which is making my pipe rattle. I will replace everything if I have to.

[@highlandcycles]

It shouldn’t have much

[@P32šTÚDIō]

@@highlandcycles damn , mines smoked

[@highlandcycles]

[@P32šTÚDIō]

@@highlandcycles it’s all good. It’s literally my first 2 stroke. Got a great deal on it. Great fricken bike. Powerhouse. I learned on it. Now I’m learning how to fix everything on it. I’m 47 and been riding off-road 2.5 years finally racing this year! I’ve done 2 races and I have gncc camp Coker up next ! I’ve been racing my beautiful 2020 yz 250x and my 2013 ktm250xc is my workhorse. I watch Jeff Slavens videos and they are spot on. But I like yours better. Better camera better commentary! More riding videos! Great tutorials and funny af! 😆 I love mechanical engineering and obviously I love turning wrenches! If you care check out my KZbin and some of my journey that would be very cool dude! I don’t have garage videos or tutorials yet. Someday! But thanks for your help sir 🫡

[@seanheuertz4479]

Nice video! Is there no adjustment to set on that? I feel like it's a stupid question but I'm rebuilding a ktm 2 stroke and I want to make sure.

[@highlandcycles]

You can adjust how far it closes but I leave it where it was. That is on the left side of the motor where the two plates are. There is an Allen that you don’t have to remove.

[@seanheuertz4479]

@@highlandcycles That's what's up, the Allen toward the back. I just cracked the case in my 250sx cause some dildo fudged the case gasket. I'm just going through it all and your videos kick ass. Thanks for replying and the good videos. 👌

[@highlandcycles]

@@seanheuertz4479 Thanks so much for watching

[@seanheuertz4479]

Bruh, after binge watching damn near every video you got when its slow at work, I realized where you are located after you said rode at Spring Creek. I elk hunt around there, and I'm in CO too. Don't want to put too much info out there but I may email you and maybe we can rip through the mountains someday. Thanks for the solid channel👌

[@user-ln3ot2nj4v]

I know this is a older video. But do you have any side to side play? My 16 model does. Same power valve set up. If not whats the common problem for the side to side play

[@highlandcycles]

Side to side on the PV?

[@user-ln3ot2nj4v]

@@highlandcycles yes

[@highlandcycles]

@@user-ln3ot2nj4v there is a little

[@Bmorrissinging]

Can you help me? 2023 KTM 125 XC power valve won’t bolt up because the notch won’t line up on shaft with the actuator. Out new piston rings in and I’m stuck . Jug is on so far. I’m not going any further until I get past this power valve not lining up issue. Thanks

[@highlandcycles]

Watch my 23 300XC top end video

[@Bmorrissinging]

@@highlandcycles Yeah I already watched this video. Trying to figure it out.

[@Bmorrissinging]

[@jmccomish2416]

Hey i put mine together after a full rebuild and riding it, it seems like it doesn’t open! Pull the cover off and its opening really soon! Help!!! Thank you!!

[@throttlebuff]

whats the orange clip looking part on exhaust port for/ does it help seal port to pipe?

[@highlandcycles]

No, it is to protect the flange in case you hit the pipe really hard

[@throttlebuff]

@@highlandcycles copy that. thanks. i was all excited cause i thought it would mount like a four stroke instead of springs. of course mine is bent so the seal ain't very good and i'd love to get away from the RTV

[@kawasaki000000000000]

What about setting the powervalve height ?

[@highlandcycles]

I leave it where it was because tiny changes in gasket thickness really don’t make much difference for an average rider.

[@kawasaki000000000000]

Ok thankyou . This is my first ktm done lots of others just want sure on this 1

[@MainJet158]

How do you adjust a power valve on a 2020 250SX when a 300 kit is installed? The new power valve does not have a stop arm. Please show a video on how to adjust the 2020 valve without the stop arm. Thank you.

[@highlandcycles]

Will do. As soon as we get one in.

[@Brensta18]

What year bike is this off of

[@highlandcycles]

2018

[@jayneilson4982]

You didn’t measure the power valve height

[@highlandcycles]

Nope. I put it back where it was. I’ve measured and changed and all that and it’s always good if you leave it alone

[@1176hambone]

I thought Blue loctite was not resistant to high heat and Red loctite is high heat....

[@highlandcycles]

No. At least my understanding is that you heat red loctite to remove it which would make it not good for high heat applications. I could be wrong though. I’ll have to look into it

[@1176hambone]

Got it sorted out with a little googlizing...

You should wear some gloves. oil & chemicals leak through the skin & that.

I know I am bad about that. Thanks for the concern

[@oliver5872]

Hi buddy, Great video! Got a question regarding the boost port valves. Is it normal that they don’t work the same on both sides? Or did i do something wrong when reassembling it? Made a video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bprPkISngqyoh6c One is open when flap is open, but one not. Thanks for help!

[@highlandcycles]

No, that’s wrong. Not sure what you did but they should both work like the one you showed first. Make sure they are on the correct side (left and right)
