KTM FUEL FILTER FIX

This simple $7 part is easy to change but can ruin your ride if your not ready.

[@shanefoote4808]

Can be cleaned effectively and easily. Don’t need replaced every time at all.

[@usa45v26]

definitely serviceable. ive been cleaning the same one for a long time. i have a hard time getting them out of the line though, they are stuck pretty good. i destroyed one running the pick through the mesh accidentally.

Just got my bike running because of this video, thanks so much

[@dirtbiketv1]

Happy it helped!

[@HP-hm3pn]

Just bought a 2023 KTM 450 sxf and it came with a handful of fuel filters. I'm going to run a Twin Air fuel filter sock in the tank as well. Thanks, Jay!

[@barnescycle]

I'm here with issues on my 2023 300xc 9hrs I fouled a plug , pulled tank to change it and I am hoping I contaminated my fuel filter in the process. Major bog on face of a 25ft table almost got me hurt bad. Live these new ktms but they make me nervous with new model issues and they are now a ton of low hour ktm bikes for sale 🤷‍♂️. Hope you have great luck with yours

[@mark_Hershey]

My 2023 300xc is bogging randomly. 28hr, I got a 70’ double it did it on. Crapped me pants.

[@pjexc5500]

Love your video,s right to point very well done Jay top shelf

[@michaelhunter8000]

So true! I’ve gone through so many of those o rings.

[@johnfryman4428]

Slavens Racing has an inline cleanable billet filter with quick connect - Great upgrade !

[@knights518]

Slavens racing makes an awesome upgrade for the fuel system

[@JeffKendallWeed]

Gonna try that tomorrow! Bike had a big tumble and flipped over once or maybe twice… Bogging down low in the revs, hopefully it’s just the fuel filter!

[@narrvick]

Always have two/ three extra in my bag- when I order something from RM/ATV I always add one to the cart.

[@markbeattie478]

Use split stream sock in your tank filler neck, you’ll never have to change the inline filter again due to blocking

[@brannonvierra8516]

I used to keep 2-3 in a tiny ziploc back and tape it in my air box

[@rodneyroach9440]

Would that problem put pressure back threw gas tank so cap hard remove ims tank 2.8

[@brianmorse8811]

I carry two at all times when riding.

[@mixalis6168]

Replaced my filter with a high flow Golan due filter product, way better and made in the USA

[@endurotruckererniedesjardins]

Off topic question for ya jay. My wife is a tiny 5ft tall 115lbs , shes on a 03 xr100, she rides the wheels off it and is ready to move up to a better bike, I'm thinking ktm 105xc or kx100 or cr85rb or a brandnew yz85 and big wheel it. Shes never spent any time on a 2 stroke. I do plan for a heavy flywheel weight and bigger fuel tank. Which of these bike would you pick or any other suggestions?

[@dirtbiketv1]

Not a easy answer on this-- What you describe we have done for my 12-14 year old son when we went through that range-- there are no good trail bikes that are proper fit for her. Any of the 105cc bikes are really Moto bikes at heart --however if she is only 5' that is maybe the best option-- However I might lean towards finding a 200 or 250XC and lower it --then could do real riding on trail etc-- good luck

[@BraaapoholicBob]

Jay what about just eliminating the problem by substituting a Golan or Zip-Ty fuel filter instead of that tiny flawed filter? Also WTF...Trap Town HNH?

[@mixalis6168]

Golan is the best!

[@wfodavid]

A nicked O-Ring can absolutely RUIN your day out on the trail! Ask me how I know!

[@buckettheadjones2935]

How do you know?

[@mark_Hershey]

Jay, what about the filter on the pump in the tank?

[@JoshuaCussins]

You are susposed to change the one in the tank after the first 30 hours on the bike. Mine had 130 hours on it, then it stalled and would not start again until i changed that in tank filter.

[@mts982]

Is there a better aftermarket set up than the stock?

[@brianh8484]

Michael Schneider I have the one from bestdualsportbikes but it's a bit chubby and rubs under the tank. I have a rubber sleeve over it

[@poole0704]

I've replaced mine every 20 hours and havent had any issues yet. Do you have any videos on changing the filter inside the tank?

[@motomogul4023]

Try KTM/Husky.com videos!

[@mixalis6168]

@@motomogul4023 best to avoid them.. he tells people put oil in TPI gas tanks~~

[@dirtbiketv1]

I have not had to yet

[@chrisbasson1017]

Hey mate, what would you do it you cracked a tpi oil tank out on a 4 day ride?

[@dirtbiketv1]

Sounds terrible

[@jonathondavis170]

Speaking of TPI models...Are these fuel filters set up the same exact way on a 2020 TE150i? I thought I was all ready to go on extra parts for long rides, but I need to investigate this further now...first time two stroke owner (this is my wife's bike and I have money down on a TX300i) and I've been tinkering around and studying all the components I can because it was all new to me...even embarrassingly blew our spark plug in the first 20 min of owning it! Haha Very fun little bike though!

[@RoosterHarris]

Is that on the 4 stroke also ?

[@dirtbiketv1]

Yes four strokes-

[@RussianAudiFILMS]

can you run it without the filter if you get stranded on the trail with it plugged up?

[@C435I]

Yes

[@robbiestaudinger6110]

Would dis make my bike run not as good in second gear from dead stop

[@ntxmxraw6648]

Yes

[@eliascamara3155]

Is this a service video or a problem video?

[@mXr118]

Camara sounds like both...when you have this problem,service this filter.

[@Kyle-pl6rl]

Hi Jay, in your experience how long do the 17’ and newer 350 motors last? I bought a used one with 120 hrs. I did an oil change and found aluminum shavings in the bottom screen. 😕

[@dirtbiketv1]

Well I have a guy with a 350XCF with over 430 hours on it before its first tear down- Crazy but it all looks amazing. New piston going in -- never adjusted the valves

[@Kyle-pl6rl]

Dirt Bike TV “Go or blow” as they say. I hope mine will last that long. Thanks for the reply.

[@buckettheadjones2935]

Could be catastrophic or nothing to worry about it. Chunks and you're done. Poor maintenance, lack of oil changes, could result in shavings and that is never good but there will always be some metal in an oil change even if yoiu can't see it. Internal parts wear. That is why we have to change piston and rings. They are designed to wear. Gears and other internal parts not so much but do wear as well. I would be much more concerned about the color and viscosity of the oil. That, imho, will you what condition the motor is in addition to the shavings. Brand new oil and lots of shavings? Motor is toast. Dark, deanse oil probably means you just need to do a couple of short interval changes including all filters until the oil looks right. Before anyone jumps me for my opinion yes, it is just that. My opinion. There are WAY more indicators that could be baaaaad news but I find the motors are more forgiving for us mortals and non professionals than most people believe. Change your oil and filters when the motor says it needs it, not the manual.

[@mikejames4271]

Another crap design by ktm.

[@dirtbiketv1]

I don't really mind it and I think this is another reason the KTM engine last so long.
