KTM 50 clutch maintenance. double the life of your clutch!

[@jamesgeorgevellavella1961]

Im so happy for you guys. Stoked to here your boy is doing so well and let him know he has been an inspiration for my 7yr old. She said she wants to start racing when I showed her the comments. Thank you so much for your advice and also with my peace of mind knowing that her bike has yonks to go before it goes in to dealership (i don't work on bikes apart from oil changes and chain tension and being honest id fk something up on a rebuild if I do it)

Thanks for watching! We race dirtbikes for fun and I always try to make sure he knows that haha. Results aside and just have fun. These bikes have a bad reputation for being high maintenance or repair nightmares, but honestly I sold our ktm mini with about 100 hours on it and I still see it any time we’re at the track still racing haha The biggest key is oil changes every ride and they are great little bikes

My 7yr daughter has 23 TC 50 Mini and I was going to sell it for a 24 or 25? TC 50 but after finding out you can't get the mini version anymore (we have 23 mini), I'm going to let it sit as its literally on 1.9hrs possibly 2.0 lol. I'm hoping the Pioneer is ADR in Australia when it gets here. Santa told me that he is dropping off 1300w electric dirt bike (Chinese) for Christmas. I must admit I don't like suspension on Chinese and reason why I am looking at E5 if it's bigger than the 50 Mini?

Stay tuned! I have a husky E5 in hiding right now that I’m hanging onto for Christmas! Haha I’ll be making videos on it and comparing it to our gas TC50. The new gen Austrian bikes (I believe 21 and newer) have the ability to move the gas tank and sub frame down on the frame that lowers the seat like 2 inches which is great! My kid is very short, if you haven’t yet; watch the video I made of making my sons 2020 TC50 low enough for him to ride haha But like I said I have an e5 for him at Christmas and all I had to do was remove 3 bolts and the subframe and everything drops down to lower the seat over 2 inches which is great! Again, thanks for watching!

What hand guards are you using? What do you have the clutch set at?

[@motodad311]

Those are acerbis mountain bike handguards and we ran the clutch at 12 clicks the whole time he raced it He’s now on the senior bike and we run the clutch maxed out Thanks for watching!

My 7 y/o barely gets his bike up on the pipe. Going on 40 hours on the stock clutch, no problems that haven’t been inflicted by dumping the bike. MILES better than trying to ride his slow clunky CRF. Oil change every ride.

Heck yeah, the ktm mini was an amazing bike to us. We are now on a TC 50 and so far so good also They require some maintenance but they are great bikes Thanks for watching!

​@@motodad311 Awesome to hear that you are loving your bigger 50. I'm looking at doing the exact same for my daughter 7, we have a TC 50Mini and I want her to put a few more hrs on it before I go for TC 50

@@jamesgeorgevellavella1961 heck yeah! they sure are great little bikes and honestly they are rockets with a kid on them haha
