You are definitely listening to some good tunes while wrenching! 26:33.....One of my favorite Social Distortion Songs! 🤘🤘

[@mikeritter4743]

Thanks for your hard work to keep this channel going. Happy New Year! I look forward to seeing more content in 2024.🤟

[@Nicky_Pin_It]

Those 505's were a love/hate relationship amongst owners where they first came out. I know some guys who won't even think about ever going back to KTM after some of the mud they got dragged through by them back in the day. I know things have changed drastically

[@highlandcycles]

Yep. They were terrible

[@dougderby9454]

@@highlandcycles. Friend got one new. At one time he had a spare cy. And cy head. 😂

[@drdonfunke]

Those forks are so much easier than the ‘22 version!

[@highlandcycles]

Yep

[@brendonchase9460]

Looking forward to the 505 rebuild. See you in 24

[@normpatterson4846]

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Great stuff on the big 505 and kudos to the owner for wanting the bike back and running

Go like a fast wind over the adobes!!! Heal up that shoulder and leg!!!!

[@richardhartley7094]

That cylinder is glazed to hell for sure 👍

[@jangoreo]

New piston rings, grind the valve shims down to paper thin. Copper spray the headgasket. For sale, Fresh rebuild only started it once. 😂 DIY or maybe die ? 😮

[@highlandcycles]

Hahahaha

[@garyhenion9459]

Awesome vid, I’m starting to have fun fixing old dirtbikes, it’s unreal how some of them have been mistreated Happy new year Morgan

[@painsrides3616]

See you in the New Year... 👍 Thanks for all the entertainment and education in 23

[@highlandcycles]

You bet!

Happy New Year to Highland Cycles, here's to many more. Hope grumpy Jeff has a happy new year too 😀

[@byronfrick7155]

I had the 450 version of that 505. Fun to ride but the engine was a nightmare. The con rod bearing went out at 64 hours. Knowing what I know now I would have been money ahead to part it out or light it on fire and push it off a cliff at that point.

[@highlandcycles]

Yep

[@Woodsrider9338]

Thanks, hope you and your family have a great New Year!

[@zachfarkash6430]

Happy New Year to you and your family Morgan. I hope it's an absolutely great 1 for you guys.🤘

How often should i service my suspension? Rear shock was rebuilt like 5 hours ago because it blew but front shocks havent been serviced in at least 90 hours. Im just riding trails and now on ice too because its winter. Bike is 2021 ktm 125 sx and it has 120 hours total.

[@highlandcycles]

Every 50 ish hours

[@rafy600]

Can you post the part # for that tool ( leakdown tester)

[@highlandcycles]

Oh man. That’s a snapon tool

[@henrikk7658]

hi Morgon Love your channel. Can you use the 24 spring forks on the sx bike ?

[@highlandcycles]

Yes

[@johnhead8567]

What extra tools do you need for the new forks? Anything special?

[@highlandcycles]

Nope.

[@donaldblank8873]

I'd be worried about the crank bearings, Seems how develops are worn that bad, I bet That somebody just popped a piston in it.

[@Andy-co6pn]

Crank bearings should be fine on a big thumper , but a big worry on a 2stroke ingesting dirt into the cases. , I'm guessing Morgan checked the rod bearing for play.

[@shaneburesh9173]

Question. When you fill the inner cartridge you reference the “ledge” and that part of the process seems “rough” isnt this an exact measurement? Or does the excess bleed off? If it does bleed off doesnt it bleed off into the main chamber (outer) and change the 340cc volume?? Suspension newb here. Just curious.

[@highlandcycles]

There is a measurement but it’s too much on purpose. It bleeds off. That’s why I tip the cartridge to get that out before installing into the outer tubes.

[@neizpiez]

Doesn’t the 24 XC call for 385-395cc for fork ?

[@highlandcycles]

@@neizpiez yes but we run less. It makes them more plush. It still hold up well.

[@neizpiez]

@@highlandcycles thanks! I’ll have to try it next service
