You forgot to the 3rd drain bolt and screen on the bottom of the engine.

[@CorkyStuntsTV]

You’re right, I didddd 🤦🏻‍♂️ I normally change it, but it didn’t even cross my mind here. Legit about to go back just to record that clip, thank you!🤘🏼

[@mattsutube]

I wonder if the dealers remove that bolt(?) While it's important, it's also a fairly small amount of oil. Ride on!

[@destinyhope8348]

Your KTM videos have convinced me to grab one as my first dirtbike

[@CorkyStuntsTV]

Love to hear it, enjoy that bike bro! 🤘🏼

[@2bikes1guy]

Great video. Love your bike colors.

[@yvngkelly]

Love you videos man keep the swag up man

[@barelyplannedahead2044]

Thanks for the video man, this will probably help me as i have 0 mechanic skills. Looking to buy a 500exc as a secondary bike to have fun on

[@plohl_dh]

This is much help thank you !!

[@2wjosh454]

Y’all better be emailing this to ktm with me, this man needs a sponsorship

[@CorkyStuntsTV]

The dream 😂🤘🏼

[@Dom34007]

I am really wanting one of these, and I love your bike and your choices of modifications, it's looks really good, I've watched your other videos on it, so I am currently saving for a KTM 450 or 500 EXC/EXC-F Six Days or not. anywhere from 2016 to 2022

[@proto7688]

great video

[@CorkyStuntsTV]

Yo! I've been without internet this past week, but finally back to normal! I've had so many questions and concerns over the maintenance of my KTM, so hopefully this will answer those questions or at least help you! Got some excited footage coming soon, subscribe to see what's in store! 🤘

[@eyemanm6045]

good video

[@feelingmoodie576]

I am curious where did you get the plastics kit from?

[@krazed0451]

Nitrile gloves exist... I'd recommend using them, especially for the air filter rinse ;-)

[@mattsutube]

Agreed. Having worked as, a automotive /diesel mechanic since dinosaurs roamed the earth I can say it's a mistake to not protect your hands from chemicals, hydrocarbons, solvents etc. We're indestructible when we are young (not). Take care of your furure self. Thanks for the fun to watch, informative video 👍

[@berkutmotovlogs7954]

I don’t know about the KTM500 but with my old XR100r I just spin the stator to find top dead center. Not familiar with the bigger fuel injected and shit four strokes

[@CorkyStuntsTV]

Yeah there’s other ways, but to skip a few steps you can rotate the wheel to turn the motor over 🤘🏼

[@codyray8754]

The wrap up in a tortillas and act like I'm a burrito had me crying 🤣

[@saied7160]

How often do you have to do this for this bike?

[@vxlgsi]

Awsome vid. Did you know you can put more than one feelers gauge together so you can work out exactly where it's at 👍 you also didn't clean your gearbox oil screen. 🙃

[@CorkyStuntsTV]

Yeah when I was recording I didn’t think about mentioning combining the feeler gauges, more just how I do it. Totally forgot about the plug at the bottom. I do plan to redo this video soon, since I did forget that! This was my first shot at doing one of these lol. I appreciate the feedback, and appreciate you watching! 🤘🏼

How many hours are you on ? Great video man

[@CorkyStuntsTV]

Thanks dude! I just rolled over 170 hours 🤘🏼

[@oscarbear7498]

I've watching your videos, this channel is a gem!💎 I have a question between the wr250 and ktm500. I don't have alot of motorcycle experience, most I've ridden on road was renting 150cc in Mexico to drive around an island twice. Also had a 50cc dirt bike as a kid lol, so little experience. I would like to get a ktm500, but people say it's too much bike. At the same time I wouldn't want to get a wr250 only to think a month or two later I should have just gotten a ktm500. I'm 150lb 5"8 Where I would use it, is county dirt, gravel roads daily to drive into the city, and muddy roads with soft grass, when the rains come out on the ranch. Do you think I should just go with a ktm500 and just learn it for the start, or is a wr250( or other 250cc type) easier motorcycle a must.

[@CorkyStuntsTV]

Hey man! I have a lot of time spent on both a wr250 and the ktm. Something to think about first is price, the ktm will be a lot more expensive and the maintenance on a ktm will be a little more expensive. Next I’d say, if power doesn’t bother you go for the 250 for now. I owned my wr250 after owning other 450’s and I’ve gotta say the wr250 is still one of my favorite bikes and I personally never felt the desire for more power. At the same time though, having the power from the ktm is nice now 😂. As far as a starter motorcycle, they both are tame bikes. The 500 doesn’t have the punch like a 450 MX bike, It’s really smooth just like the wr250 unless you fully crack the throttle obviously. I’d like to make a video comparing the two sometime but I hope that helps for now! Either way you can’t go wrong! 🤘🏼

[@oscarbear7498]

@@CorkyStuntsTV seeing you compare both bikes would be really cool!! Thank you for the information 🙏

[@fullmoviesmate6100]

I got sick of my wr 250 in a week of owning it. I changed to a 500 and its the bike for me. Go test ride a 500 and i guarantee you'll love it

[@xji2oclx]

Do you always run hybrid tires? Or you run slicks for the street?

[@CorkyStuntsTV]

For my dirt setup I use adventure tires! On my sumo setup, I just run street tires

[@aaronmartinsen7905]

What kind of tires do you run? I just picked up the same bike

[@CorkyStuntsTV]

For the dirt wheels I run a tusk dsport adventure tire in the rear, and a cheap artrax XC enduro in the front. Sumo setup I run pilot power 2CT most the time

[@matrixpv3897]

KTM sponsor this man lol

[@CorkyStuntsTV]

That’s what I’m sayin 😂😂

[@badger7691]

what music play at 9:40?

[@proto7688]

you need way more air filter oil bro, it needs to be soaking wet, look at the ktm techs in europe they drench them air filter ... they know something

[@bimotah4717]

In how many Hours u change piston?

[@CorkyStuntsTV]

So far I have around 220 hours on the bike. Haven’t done anything aside from oil changes, and I have confidence I don’t need to worry about anything major for a long while 🤘🏼

[@marphfromdiscord8027]

Yo do you have any xt 225 tires or tub or parts in general

[@CorkyStuntsTV]

I don’t have anything for that bike man!

[@brandongeorge6388]

Hi at what about of hours do I change the piston?

[@CorkyStuntsTV]

KTM recommends 100-150 hours which is crazy. 400+ hard hours on my bike with nothing but oil changes and it still runs like a new bike! 🤘🏼

[@brandongeorge6388]

@@CorkyStuntsTV thanks bro

[@TheMocard]

@@CorkyStuntsTV I agree.. I have 515 hrs on mine and still on original piston and rings.. valve seals have been changed.. and gaps checked about 4 times..

[@BlightedChild]

How often should I maintain it?

[@CorkyStuntsTV]

Just depends on what you’re doing, your riding style, where you’re riding. KTM recommends oil changes every 10 hours, and valve checks every 50. You can stretch those out with however comfortable you are with it

[@BlightedChild]

@@CorkyStuntsTV ok, thank you!

[@christiaansmit4255]

Hi mom 😂😂🤣

[@rebeccac5760]

Im a dudette don't worry!

[@alexandre8598]

For the oil it's 1.2l and not 1.5l.

[@vondrz1391]

.3 for filter area. 1.2 is engine

[@jelledenreijer1334]

i dont recommend to warm your bike up, i dit it also until my oil bolts ar stuck and broke. but this ar my experiences

[@CorkyStuntsTV]

I could see that, but I’ve normally done on all my bikes and it seems to drain a little easier when you do. It’s not a necessary step though! 🤘🏼

[@jelledenreijer1334]

@@CorkyStuntsTV yeah i dit it also al the time until it broke on my exc500 but as long as it works. So a little warning but good work bro

[@jordanJohnn]

I’ve never heard of anyone recommending not to warm it up.

[@newenglandscrambler2262]

Dude. Gloves. Unless you are actively trying to get skin cancer. Solvents and other VOCs are nasty things. And that includes gas.
