KTM Duke 390 (2013)Counter Shaft Seal Replacement ( behind Front Sprocket)

[@dorksighted]

I have the 2017 390 with the same problem. Thank you.

[@SpinyBiker]

Don't have a KTM, but still quite enjoyed watching that. 👍

[@suznet]

+SpinyBiker Why thank you for your kind words, it may help someone out & give them the confidence to do it if they have a few tools to hand, it was much easier than i first thought -- thankfully :-)

[@D2DAJIZZELLE]

@@suznet where can I get a duke 125 counter shaft seal from?

[@suznet]

@@D2DAJIZZELLE if you can see the part number on it, you could google it, should give you a result, or measure it if posssible.

[@D2DAJIZZELLE]

@@suznet thanks very much I've just ordered one and i shall copy your video when it comes👍

[@madmarkuk1]

One of your best maintinance vids to date. Now to do some for the gsr750

[@suznet]

+madmarkuk1 the GSR don't need anything doing to it, apart from brake fluid change, but there's loads of videos on that topic, at least you can see this video ;-) thanks bud, I can do some on yours though

[@tuduvuca]

Just found out my 2017 is having the same issue :) nice video.

[@suznet]

Glad it was of use to you.👍

[@by_turbo6563]

I got a duke 2018 and now I have the some problem thanks a lot!!

[@bikersquest]

Interesting way to get the seal out, the front sprocket seems a lot easier to change when compared to the bigger bikes with a super torqued bolt :) surprised there was some corrosion on the guard bit despite all the oil and chain lube lol

[@suznet]

+Bikers Quest that's the way most other people do it ( I searched ;-) ) very easy to remove a sprocket, corrosion - must have been there from the start

[@emmersoneaslea5749]

Very helpful thank u very much top video I fixed mine and it started leaking again not sure if I should just do it again with another new seal any ideas would be very grateful for ur help

[@suznet]

I sold mine shortly after, don't know if it was a good fix for long.

[@ducamotetv8505]

thank you for the vid. i lost the rubber on the other side of my front sprocket due to massive oil leaked. i installed it back anyway..

[@suznet]

+Santino Bacani glad it help[ed you out

[@lcddglcddg3447]

Did you put the o-ring first before the countershaft seal? Or is it the the other way around? Great vid by the way!

[@suznet]

If you can get the metal collar out, then the o ring goes behind that first, then re assemble putting the seal last, thanks.

[@Ghost97-97]

the oring should be under the metal colar or just behind it ? @@suznet

[@terryktm7220]

Thanks for the videos brother , very helpful i had same problem like you..

[@raven6681]

torque setting on the sprocket bolts, is 12nm actually

[@02bigkev]

Good info and if you're right no one else has a vid up. RSM8 ... merry Xmas

[@suznet]

Merry Xmas to you & yours Kev RSM8

[@superbyke125]

Hi noticed a clunking noise whilst rolling the bike in neutral gear only

[@sachinbhagat945]

is that help to reduce chain noise🥺☹️ my front sprocket noise soo much i do everything but not any solutions😭

[@fairpoor]

Awsome.. very helpful.. ridesafe brother..

[@suznet]

glad you approve ;-) Thanks

[@stevep7837]

Great how to mate!, Just wondering how many miles you clocked before this became an issue for you? Thanks

[@suznet]

moto 1 it was less than 5k miles

[@dannyjr.3944]

Thanks, just order the replacement kit..btw what chemical do you use to clean the old grease ? Is it safe to use petrol or diesel ?

[@suznet]

danny jr. I used a bit of Petrol, but anything that gets rid of the grime should do, I found that petrol is a similar price to some solvents in that quantity, just don't go lighting a cigarette. I only put in the main seal, I couldn't get the metal tube bit out so gave up,on that bit.good luck

[@THEDN09RIDER]

hello bhai aapne ye kaha se buy kiya tha oil seal

[@suznet]

I got an Oil Seal kit from a dealer, all new.

[@THEDN09RIDER]

@@suznet you can provide me oil seal ?

[@suznet]

@@THEDN09RIDER no, I used it on this video. Sold the KTM years ago

[@THEDN09RIDER]

@@suznet ok thanks for your response brother

[@theresonly1truth138]

Hi. I have some leak from the middle bolt opening on the left ( of the front sprocket cover ) What should I do???? Is it normal? Is tighten it a solution? 0:53

[@suznet]

You could try to put some sealant on the bolt threads perhaps, not one that sets hard though.

[@midhun-007]

Hi, I am facing a "tuck" sound while putting gear from neutral to first :( How can I resolve this clunky sound?? Mine is a brand new. Almost completed 130kms!!! Very frustrating in public!!

[@suznet]

Midhun Mohan most bikes have an annoying clunk when you select a 1st gear, not much you can do about it, other than select 1st then start the bike, lol

[@midhun-007]

Ya :D neutral is a nightmare for me!!

[@dheerajd.p5034]

dude help me i opened the front sprocket cover and cleaned up the grease with kerosine and water later i started the bike and rev I found out oil is leaking from the bold holes is that safe to ride the bike .a little amount of oil is leaked. and i think water may entered the engine while I washed . should i visite service center??? 🙄😪or is that safe to ride?? help and sorry for my bad English

[@suznet]

love the way u lie what bolt holes, the ones that hold the cover on?? If it is those, then put cover back on,lol. As for water in the oil, it depends how much, if only very little then it may burn off at high temps, otherwise just flush the oil out & replace it.

[@anurag77719]

how do u know shaft seal is leaking? Great video btw.

[@suznet]

anurag77719 Oil on the casing & inside the bellypan is a good sign, or Oil on the side stand was the first thing I saw, I first thought it was an over lubricated chain causing it

[@Womanwolfrider]

Enjoyed watching it, it's annoying how the gloves only last a few minutes🤔

[@suznet]

+Womanwolfrider especially as they kept getting pinched behind something or other, glad you enjoyed it.

[@D2DAJIZZELLE]

Anyone know where I can get a counter shaft seal for a duke 125? feckawl on ebay

[@yudhistirs]

with such issues is the KTM worth a buy ? do other brand bikes like Honda and Yamaha also have such issues ? is it that the quality of components in KTM is too low ?

[@suznet]

I think the problem was due to an over tightened chain at some point, others have had a similar problem, may be wrong but it worked

[@yudhistirs]

+Suznet 555 Thanks

[@donmarti6364]

I think I see this too many times, all bikes will have issues depending on the rider. Ride is nice and easy you will save your trips to the service from 2-4 a year to 1 time a year.

[@GhostReaper81]

Bro do your front sprocket wobbly after install the lock washer and nut?

[@suznet]

+Xavier Pui Swee San yes I think it does still wobble.

[@GhostReaper81]

+Suznet 555 Thanks bro for the info. I though mine not normal because i just change new chain.

[@shehzadisf943]

Ossam bro

[@choppsie]

It shows you lube your chain regular mate ;)

[@suznet]

+choppsie yes, when I remember, but the leak helped out :-)

[@thedriverofallthings]

Your chain guard came off so easily I tried to take mine off the other day and gave up I would have to take the shift assemble off to get to it

[@suznet]

+2wheels2fast yes it was rather easy (lucky me) Thanks.

[@lawrence5017]

Does this part also fit a 390 Adventure?

[@suznet]

if there haven't been updates since the earlier model engine, it looks to be very similar set up on the output shaft

[@suznet]

www.motorcyclespareparts.eu/en/ktm-parts/90233030044

[@iitzvirat]

Do we have to change oil completely

[@suznet]

Only if it needs to be changed/ service interval.

[@royalenfieldthug3651]

Will u pls tell how many kms does it last?

[@suznet]

No idea, I sold the bike shortly after, I don't think the bike had done 4K miles before it leaked.

[@shaikabdulla9778]

my bike duke 200 leaks oil every time i stop it what do u think it is?

[@suznet]

no idea, clean it off, then try to discover where it comes from after a short ride.

[@shaikabdulla9778]

the ktm sc replaced engine oil and all seals they say it wont happen again. but everytime i stop there are drops dripping black oil im afraid if all the engine oil leaks unknowingly the engine would cease i will raise a complaint at ktm sc what should i do now??

[@suznet]

Take it back to the workshop & raise your concerns, was it a warranty fix or did you have to pay??

[@shaikabdulla9778]

i paid 3000rs for the engine oil change coolant change and seals change😑so and

[@suznet]

as i said, Take it back & complain. not much else to do really

[@hecatonquiro4303]

Duke 200 es igual?

[@Adampoole92]

Will this kit fit my ktm duke 125 17 plate

[@suznet]

you should ask at your local dealer for the correct kit to suit your particular bike.

[@Adampoole92]

Suznet 555 ok thanks I’ll do that I’ll ring up my dealers tomorrow is it ok to still ride the bike with it leaking

[@suznet]

@@Adampoole92 as long as it's only a little leak, it should be fine, keep an eye on the level though, as it's only a few litre's in it

[@Adampoole92]

Suznet 555 ok thanks is that by looking at the sight glass on the right hand side of the bike

[@suznet]

Adam poole Yes probably.

[@zeegerman6868]

LOL "feck off"... good video

[@suznet]

Thank You.

[@GhostReaper81]

Where you buy it? online?

[@suznet]

+Xavier Pui Swee San No, I ordered it from a local KTM Dealer & had it posted to me

[@GhostReaper81]

+Suznet 555 My local KTm they won't do that for you. They will ask you to service it with them.

[@suznet]

that's not fair, can you not get a seal from a local hydraulics company ??

[@GhostReaper81]

+Suznet 555 No problem if know the oil seal number.

[@suznet]

the size if it helps is 37mm outside diameter about 25mm inside diameter (the collar it goes over is 26mm OD) the seal thickness is 6mm - there are no numbers on the seal that would help.

[@di_chemical2298]

Bro leak engine oil

[@PsychoPaul13]

I cringed when you knocked the seal in with a screwdriver.... Please next time use a socket....

[@suznet]

Lol, best bodge in the book, it has been mentioned before, how about not using Loctite on the sprocket bolts then, I have since put some on them 😉

[@buddyluuv69]

Which Loctite should you use or did you use? I've never used it and I want to learn. Great video. Very informative!

[@suznet]

think it was loctite 243, glad you found it helpful, Thanks
