This shows how important oil flow is in an engine, fantastic video pal; learned a lot from these for sure pal 👍

[@restoroosterohv]

Sure is. That’s for watching and commenting

Sir, I really enjoy your content and channel. I just picked up a 2015 KX 450, and i was wondering how much oil you recommend adding after a change with and without a filter. The manual I'm looking at seems to be off. Thanks again for the great help you are in these videos.

[@restoroosterohv]

Thank you for your feedback and support. It looks like 1.3 US quarts or 1.2 L total capacity. I usually just use the sight glass on these to get them dialed in

@@restoroosterohv thank you

How many hours did you ride it in 6 years? I am guessing you never changed the piston in those years

[@restoroosterohv]

Nope, never had to do a top or bottom end. I am very attentive to maintenance. Also, I’m a casual rider and my bike almost never sees the limiter.

@@restoroosterohv I have a 2007 and I am just rebuilding it from the ground up. It has been abused for years, the chain is rock hard and I am surprised how strong this engine is given the abuse. I put a new rod(wossner, OEM had the small end galling but big end had no play) all new oem bearings,a 13:1 piston, pro circuit intake cam, procircuit ti-6 exhaust, stainless steel intake and exhaust valves with stiffer springs, boysen bigger waterpump, also planning on a electric KTM radiator fan. My plan is to make it as reliable as it can be and as strong as it can be. Also I m looking at fitting the klx450 wide ratio gearbox in it to make it more trail riding friendly

@bike23august these engines (450) are extremely strong and reliable not to mention very torquey. I had a RMZ450 that I really liked (personal bike). I picked up my 07 KX450F for a good price and did a few odds and ends to flip it. I ended up letting my friend use it when we went out to Florida tracks and trails one day and decided to take it for a spin myself (never rode it). Turns out, I put the RMZ up for sale instead.

Valve cover is ugly :>

[@restoroosterohv]

Haha, sorry you were not a fan of the valve cover.
