@darksidezeke if you're having the same issue then yes. I actually plan on doing this to my 2023 350 this winter

@supertedholty1053 thank you for giving an undate!! I love how it worked also glad it is for you also

@TheRicherThanClub hmmm ...was the washer too big on the OD?

@@thedirtdigger5990 that i dont know. Its as if takes wayyy too much pressure to push back in.

@TheRicherThanClub i do know it is noticeably more then normal but it worked great still

@ParkerMunroe if you do this it will not have to go all the way to grip to disengage. Yes ktm has designed them to not go into neutral while running, well atleast it's very hard to. I've been told it's to help with not getting a false neutral

@JamesyMusial14 yeah for sure and worse part is the rid bearing locked up about 12 hrs later! Luckily they had a forged piston in it so it didn't do anymore damage then just the rod

@@thedirtdigger5990 dang, absolute garbage. Would be nice to see KTM either recall these things or at least acknowledge they’re shit. Only a matter of time before someone dies from these bikes locking up on a jump face.

@JamesyMusial14 exactly!! I love ktms but these new 2 strokes are junk and I couldn't buy one

@coleschowe7706 it's very easy to get to this. All you need to do is remove the small outer clutch cover and then remove the clutch pressure plate and that's it.

@@thedirtdigger5990 Fantastic! Thank you very much for the reply. Ill be trying this asap.

@@coleschowe7706 feel free to reach out again if u have any more questions

@@thedirtdigger5990 one last question, where did you get this washer from?

@coleschowe7706 I actually a hardened washer that was perfect size in my junk drawer lol. But u could order the washer from rockymountainatvmc.com. it would be the same as what comes on the bike

It has a hydraulic clutch

@Gage.999 the bike I did this too was a 16 250sxf. In your circumstance I would start by tearing apart the clutch and seeing if the basket and inner hub are notched up real bad, then I would replace the fluid in the clutch line and if all of that is good and doesn't help then you will have to split the cases to see if you have a bent shift fork. If you have any more questions feel free to ask!

@@thedirtdigger5990 Thank you so much, as soon as I get home imma do these, I will update you.

@@Gage.999 sounds good!!

@@Channel-io1di none at all! The clutch worked perfect

@@thedirtdigger5990 I think I'm gonna do this. But I think there's some risk in choosing too thick of a washer where it would make the clutch slip. But I haven't seen the inside yet I am just assuming it limits how far back the rod can move toward the slave? And the slack is taken up by a spring in the slave.

@@thedirtdigger5990 but my clutch disengages fine, I barely pull it with 1 finger and I can slip the clutch. It just feels like it doesn't fully disengage enough. It's almost impossible to shift in to neutral with it running. This is my FE501 husqvarna. My FC450 husqvarna doesn't drag at all. It can be in first on a stand with the clutch in and the back tire doesn't even spin. Seriously. My 501, even when hot has tons of drag.

@Channel-io1di I didn't like where my clutch disengaged and this fixed it. I use to have to pull the lever all the way in to rhe bars and now I only have to pull it in halfway

@Channel-io1di yes I wouldnt go too thick, I mentioned in the video I believe in the comments how thick I went and would only go a tad more but it's not necessary to go more

@@xanoxxxx your welcome!

@xanoxxxx yes it should I believe

@@PirxthePilot good to know!!

Sometimes I can hear a bit of drone but it's not bad. I have another video of me driving around if you'd like to hear it inside the cab

Awesome! Great to hear, happy carting

Not true. I'm big on proper bike warm up. When im riding moto at anytime the clutch lever had to be pulled all the way in to disengage, and yes the lever was properly adjusted. When I did this mod it worked perfect!

@@thedirtdigger5990 Try measuring the temp of your bike and you will find that your bike is less than a 165° 2 stroke operating ranges between 165 and 185. Is when you will have the least amount of clutch drag and it is when the bike will have the most power.

@donaldblank8873 my bike is 4 stroke and im sure it's above 165 but I will check it for shits and giggles. For the entire 20 minute moto it would do this, until I did this mod

@@thedirtdigger5990 I also have done this mode. I'm just explaining that it's the oil that causes the clutch drag. Ask any mechanic he will tell you the same thing. The warmer the bike the less the drag. That's all, just trying to be helpfull. And change your clutch fluid regularly. Fluid breaks down quickly and causes the clutch to get mushy. It gets very hot when in use.

@donaldblank8873 completely agree with that but the only drag I experience is when first taking off it will drag a bit. And yes the oil needs changed a couple of times a year.

Did u have the manual output cylinder?

@@thedirtdigger5990 Im not sure since I did not do the work. But I will probably be tearing it apart at some point

@gotdirt66 ok. Its the part on the side of the engine that pushs the pushrod to disengage the clutch. I've seen rekluse makes a manual adjustable one, never tried one. This trick had would great for me so I had no reason to do anything else.

The powervalve didn't look like the ring caught it but it's possible

@@thedirtdigger5990 on the RHS of the power valve when your setting the Z height it looks like the carbon is polished off. This is what I’m seeing in mine.

@@J4M54UK actually I had to polish that part because some of the aluminum chunks of piston had messed it up and lodged it open

Thank you! I was surprised at that also

That is for the hour meter

@@thedirtdigger5990 thanks mate

@@leviharris900 you're welcome

.640

No not at all.

Change out the piston now to avoid it, get a forged pistonn if you look up JBub Ktm on facebook he has the fix for this. If u watch my other video of splitting the cases you'll see it even broke the cases

I think the piston hit the crank. There's been quite a few of the 250s and 300s having that issue

Good to know, thanks.

@@mitchellmorrison4233 you're welcome

My thoughts also

Either side but I took it out from clutch side to do this mod

Exactly!

Thanks. I was very green before doing all of this and learned alot during the process

Sorry no translate button so i dont understand

You have to remove the small clutch cover and then remove the pressure plate. After you remove the pressure plate the rod is right there and just slides out

@@thedirtdigger5990 Thanks. Appreciate it.

@@rassy7 your welcome

You could pull the rod from the slave side but wouldn’t have access to the washer

Thank you for the advice, I might need to talk louder or something i just record it with my phone

@@thedirtdigger5990 Great. I subscribed.

Hopefully that fixes your issue also, I spent alot of time playing with everything else lol

You did the bottom plate instead of top? I wondered what one would be easier

Both, that way shock is still in the middle

@@chevyheavy79 ok. Nice

Yes it was worth it!! It really matches well with the crower cams also. I just added a 270cc piston to it and gained another 4hp

@@thedirtdigger5990 umm 4hp is pretty noticeable. I’m getting ready to rebuild my 20. For sure going crower. But Been looking at these heads. I’m not really to concern with added power. I want be racing this one. I’m doing a trip this spring and just wanting to freshen it up. And freshen up without performance just feels like a waste lol

@Russel_russelson i hear that lol. I cant wait to ride mine now and see what shes like

Lol yeah exactly

Yes sir!! Getting her already for 2024

What circuit you run?

@@chevyheavy79 district 14 state race championship series

👍

Lol yeah it could be used as that also

That’s what I did rn 😂

Measure the one that is in the bike now and from there you should know

Definitely gotta be careful but I've never had an issue in the last 7 years of doing this

Then it needed replaced anyway. If that rubber is so dry rotted it cracked from that simple bend. Then you’re lucky it happened and you replaced it. I work on these ktm”s every single day. If you’re doing it another way than this video you are doing it wrong and wasting your time. This is exactly how ktm/husky describes it to us dealer techs

@@Scummy_shovelif you work on them everyday can u tell me how to hook up the black hose to a new blue cap since the dealership ripped a tear in mine

@@danielhicks5031 hose? Are you talking about the spark plug wire?

I think my pump was bad but not positive. I put over 100hrs on this setup when i sold the bike and the next owner has put about 50hrs on it that im aware of with zero issues

Sure you can!! Only comment I have really is never use cruise control in the rain or rainy situations, as we almost learned the hard way

Yes, as long as you dont buy Texas Speed valve springs. Not sure about the rest of their products but I've heard my valve spring from isnt the first ones to break. When I asked tsp about why it broke they told me i need to replace them every year

I had the ecu preprogrammed so i could drive it the exhaust shop and then to the tuner

No it doesn't

Glad i could help!
