This microphone works great! What out for that blood thirsty pup 🐶! He is a killer!

[@sparkyboots]

Great video. I need to do my son's YZ85

[@highlandcycles]

[@jesse469]

Great video

[@matthewmcallister8845]

How well does the ultrasonic clean the powervalve? How long do you leave them in? Also will the ultrasonic ruin O rings or plastic?

[@highlandcycles]

It doesn’t clean power valves well. If they are dirty enough to need cleaning we either bead blast or have a buddy vapor blast then. No it won’t ruin plastic or orings with the fabuloso that we use.

[@richardhartley1705]

Do you always strip power valve when changing piston or depending on how many hours bike has done?

[@highlandcycles]

Depends on how it looks. Here at the shop we always do because that’s what people pay us for. But my personal bikes, not always.

Hi Morgan kind of on the mini bike topic. If you answered this before please direct me in that direction. My son is coming off a '17 Husky (KTM) 65 it was amazingly linear with no crazy powerband and hit. He now has a '15 Husky 85 and the powerband/hit is way too much for him for the trail riding we do. I added a flywheel weight but didn't seem to help much. Any other suggestions to tame down the little beast. Looks like companies stopped making aftermarket heads for those years. Thanks

[@highlandcycles]

Huh. I’m not sure but is there an adjustment for the power valve. If so, I would do that

[@stufrowin]

@@highlandcycles I think the newer generation years have it but I don't believe there is for that generation

[@coloradocrawler2010]

I put a Lectron on the boy’s 2018 YZ85 (no power valve) and it smoothed out the hit quite a bit. The overall power was the same, just a little easier on the delivery. He was mad because it wasn’t a light switch any longer but I don’t like fooling with jetting much, so Lectron. It was still a wheelie machine when it opens up, even with my big butt on it.

[@stufrowin]

@@coloradocrawler2010 his 65 had a lectron from previous owner, so I just bought one for the 85. Definitely smoothed out the hit/delivery. I had no idea the carb could do that. Thanks for the suggestion

[@d.brayman3165]

Great info.

[@jacobworld333]

Do you have any tips or tricks on installing piston clips - its a nightmare on a KTM once?!

[@highlandcycles]

The 250 and 300 KTM ones suck. No tips other than practice helps.

[@coloradocrawler2010]

@@highlandcycleswould you use the fancy easy install clips with the ears (Slavens)…or is that asking for a torn up cylinder wall?

[@highlandcycles]

@@coloradocrawler2010 those are the best. But they are just the KTM clips from the old 380 KTM 2T

[@maximumeffort8829]

Hey morgan great informative video! I wanted to ask in you professional opinion which bike is less problematic a yz65 or a ktm65sx i am going to buy one for my daughter ??? Please help 😅

[@maximumeffort8829]

@@highlandcycles ah man dont tell me that i have a trade on the table for pretty new 65sx, what about normal trail riding not racing? I just dont want to have problems out on the trails with my daughter shes 9.
