Part 1- 2017 KTM Bottom End Overhaul- Engine Removal

This is a series of video which show how I overhauled the bottom end of my 2017 KTM 250 EXC engine with 456H. In this part I remove the engine from the frame. Note that if you're only overhauling the top end there is no need to remove the engine as it can be done in the frame.

I love that I have the same year bike as you now. It makes all of these videos direct tutorials for when I've got to do my own! I love how thorough you are and how you share your best practices. Thanks.

[@MrDen119]

Awesome job! I love my 2017 250sx, but I can’t match those hours you put on that bike! That’s a big number!

[@stu5494]

Hi there, thanks for the vid.. Being a bit of a tool geek, I went to some effort and got myself a Hozan P-221 (Japan to Aust via Nth America, :-)) on your recommendation, what a beautiful tool, thanks for the tip. Even though I will probably use this tool very rarely, I really enjoy having the RIGHT tool for the job when I go to do a job (much like my TOR ODT), and this tool is just perfect for this job, and no other.

[@TokyoOffroad]

Yes, the Hozan chain tool is very nicely made. Pleased you like your's (and the ODT tool :-) )

[@2Tsmoke]

Going to be a great series. Your videos are always on point. I have about 350 hours on my bike and plan on doing this next year 👍

[@marcjones1967]

These maintenance videos are brilliant , thanks for sharing your knowledge

[@joelcowdreyiii6745]

Incredibly, my son’s KTM 85 SX engine continued to operate perfectly normal after the governor for the coolant impeller dropped three of its ball bearings down into the clutch case. I only discovered it during the last oil change when one ball bearing plopped into the oil drain pan and the other two were clinging to the magnet on the oil drain plug. The new part is $103 and is on order. I’ll do the engine’s third top end while it’s on the engine stand. Remarkable little engine.

[@Eric_Rides]

Thank you! Your videos are always so useful. My manual says to remove the engine from the right side but clearly it's easier on the left side. So glad I have Tokyo Offroad youtube channel right next to the moto bench.

[@LorenzoMiguelVillalon]

Thanks for doing this. Makes me feel more comfortable working on my own bike.

[@ptft4]

Surgical precision job, your so organized

[@stone4858]

Awesome video bro as always, can't wait to watch the rest of the video 😁 Thank's for sharing with us 👍

[@isakeriksson8590]

[@alasmaliky5308]

Cool.. so details and have info tools size used.. thanks for sharing 🙏🙏🙏

[@malik8103]

Greetings from Russia!!! Awesome job!!!

[@NirHason]

[@christianbauer2298]

Wow getting the engine out looks much easier compared to my old excf we did together.

[@stephenworthy7799]

Fantastic, very imfromative videos. Keep up the great work

[@emanuelkowalski431]

Love the quality of your videos !!!

[@TokyoOffroad]

Pleased you like them!

[@sowieso369]

Awesome video as always :D cant w8 for the next part to see how the engine looks like. since my ktm exc 250 has about 430H and i plan on doing a bottem end at 500H.

[@billybob1773]

Excellent tutorial

[@RevNecks220]

Love it great stuff can't wait for the next videos😉🤙

[@desmonchild]

mate your Howto videos are amazing,great work!(they are better than the rides...hahaha).

[@stephenlittle8541]

Thanks for part 1 vid - 👍

[@ktmers]

Great video as usual! That poor shift lever though !

[@TokyoOffroad]

Yes, the shift lever has seen some action! I've ordered a new one so it will be replaced...

[@artisgrietens5535]

yes... I have exc300 sixdays 2017 !!

[@mxcollin95]

Good video. Is Tokyo off-road your company by chance? Great idea using a lathe to create common punch tools used in dirtbike maintenance l

[@TokyoOffroad]

Pleased that you enjoyed the video. Yes, Tokyo Offroad is my company. The tools I offer I designed (based on working on my own bikes) and manufacture myself.

[@rpm_michael]

You're the best 👌

[@NirHason]

So...tomorrow we'll get part 2? :D (I got lots of popcorn left)

[@TokyoOffroad]

My plan is to upload one, or two parts per week...

[@joelcowdreyiii6745]

Will you continue to own and ride this particular bike for the foreseeable future? I enjoy my 2015 and 2018 so much that I hope they last the rest of my riding years.

[@TokyoOffroad]

Yes, I love riding it and have no plan to sell it. I'll be putting a 300 kit on it during this rebuild. And I have another 2017 250 EXC with low hours (40H) which I purchased used and will ride as a 250 following some mods (RK Tek head, STIC/Keihin 38 carb, VForce reeds). I wanted to have both 250 and 300 so I'm able to test and tune using both...

[@tudorserban8589]

2020 not so bad afterall

[@craigjarvis9677]

Awesome

[@chorleycake7942]

Nice instructional video. Will you be repairing the radiator or fitting a new one?

[@TokyoOffroad]

Thanks. I'll repair the radiator. I do have a spare, but the original one is not leaking, so I'll carefully knock it back into shape.

[@user-cl1vx7ft3y]

damn, i have to do this. 1140 hours in the odo now

[@TokyoOffroad]

Yes, I think it's time. Great idea to overhaul while it's still working and hasn't failed. Just pick a convenient time and do it :-)

[@user-cl1vx7ft3y]

@@TokyoOffroad it just was overhauled, but it started to make noise. its a 2005 model

[@jerseyjeeper1575]

Yay!

[@bradspm9at]

No helper ? Where's Phil FFS

[@TokyoOffroad]

LOL. I clearly didn't train Max my dog properly, or he'd be helping me ;-)

[@steelheadstalker4715]

TEKTON !!

[@TokyoOffroad]

Tekton tools? Please elaborate...

[@steelheadstalker4715]

@@TokyoOffroad Yeah I love Tekton for the $$$. Great channel. You remind me of my dad working, he is a retired machinist and very meticulous. Keep up the great work and keep the rubber side down!

[@tudorserban8589]

WOHOOOOO

[@RobboRobinson]

456hrs Mint 👍🏻

[@alicanakkas3845]

Lol, you are removing the engine , but lazy to take the skid plate off while draining the oil

[@TokyoOffroad]

Not lazy, I use the Tokyo Offroad Oil Drain Tool to drain the oil. No mess, easy to use and doesn't require removal of the skid plate.

[@alicanakkas3845]

Tokyo Offroad i know you were promoting your tool , i was just joking around

[@Lewiseyers]

Nice, looking forward to more

Excellent as usual. Thanks
