Being New to the Hobby of riding dirtbikes these Videos Are Absolute Gold!!!
So glad you’ve found them. Email us with any questions. Contact info in About tab.
This guy knows what he’s doing. Most don’t pump out the crap oil.
I’ve been racing and turning my own wrenches with the help of some old factory pros. Once in a while you get lucky to get someone that can explain how to do things properly.
Hi Jay new to your channel. I found you through Instagram and I just wanted to say thank you for your video. I thoroughly enjoy your attitude and appreciate your knowledge. Good on you! Looking forward to diving into your channel 👍.
Very cool-- Thanks for the good words and enjoy!
Awesome vid those are good tips
I have that same beaker. A Pringle’s can lid snaps right on top of it like it was made for it. I eat alot of Pringles since I stopped racing
Just got a 250sxf this is very usefull
Thanks for the tips
That oil you drained out looked new. That funnel is cool, has a vent hole/tube.
Nice to see a pro. I prefer stainless filters myself.
Nice when I order the filter it comes with the o rings and cooper washer do mine ever 10 hours just hope everything stays together lol
It's good idea is to put some oil in filter housing so it won't run dry at startup. I tighten those small cover bolts with 3 fingers after I stripped one and had to redo the threads. Also I screw the mesh filter nut all the way by hand. That way I can tell if it went in right and won't get crushed (yep, done that as well).
no... all you need to do is turn the engine without firing the engine. just like he did half way through the oil change. that pumps oil around the engine and fills the filter also.
@@johnwayne3420 Per service manual:
-Lay the motorcycle on its right side and fill the oil filter housing approx. 1/3 full with engine oil.
-Place the oil filter into the oil filter housing.
Nah not necessary at all. Just like vehicles..been dunked. There's plenty oil coating all internals still. Stop making a mess! #Ride #KTM -Michigan
@@detro3run Hmmm seems overkill tho my '23 KTM 450SXF was $12k so maybe good idea. Plenty oil coating all internals still though esp full synthetic ester type most of us use .-Michigan #Maxima
Great info
So you don't fill up the filter with oil before installing it? KTM manual calls for that and even for laying the bike on side and filling up the oil filter housing 1/3...
KTM can't be beat! MX has come full circle..as it started in Europe. Now European brands rule once again. Not knocking any other brands I've owned most all. 💯 -NY
Spec on the screen is 11.1 ftlb, on the drain is 14.8 ft lb. I put the screen in first not to crush the screen screwing it in.
But You got the job done, as a Good Butcher
I like the aktechnologies funnel.
The breather funnel might save you 5 seconds but you'll lose that 5 seconds screwing it in and back out again. I guess its neat but a regular funnel is fine.
I have a 350 SXF 2011 in perfect order and the owner manual suggest using 10w60 oil. I have tried different w40 oil, including Rotella and expensive synthetics, and the engines runs hot and the transmission is hard to shift when it happens, usually on a longer 30/40 minutes moto or much sooner in deep sand. I never have any of these problems when using synthetic Motul 10w60. The engine run colder and smoother. No need to be a rocket scientist to easily feel the difference. I change oil frequently, at 5 h approx. I used Rotella 15w40 in my previous CRF450 with no problems. Just saying.
Get the 10W-60 Synthetic Dirt Bike Oil from Amsoil. It's much better quality. The gears and clutch love it.
Become a preferred customer, cheaper, delivery at home. Grtz
Link to the measuring beaker?! Been looking for a good one!! Thanks!
Hi great instructions. How often I need to change oil on my 2023 KTM Excf 350. Dealer change it after first one hour. Now I have 13hours. Thanks if you can answer
Instead of grease I've always used anti-seize as it will not wash off with oil and it comes in a couple of temperature ranges so it can be used on some very hot surfaces. Also when tighten fasteners I use my right arm which is bionic and calibrated in torques units.
Anti seize is great! I hate that a small dab always finds a way to turn me and everything around me silver 😂🤣
@@chamjack Ha! I agree.....doggone stuff is as persistent as a used-car salesman......but that's part of it's good side, too, as it sticks around and generally does not make the parts extra slippery and then they end up backing off or guys over-torque them and strip threads. I worked for Dow Chemical in a very corrosive environment and the anti-seize absolutely would not let things corrode like other lubes......so, I kinda got used to it. I was in Michigan then and learning to ride.....I think I hit every tree in the state at one time or another.....bet a fella can still see the scars from my bars. Good talking to you....Keep the Faith. Tom
@@tomnekuda3818 yep, you are spot on that it works like no other. I mix it in with grease for things that I don’t get into a lot (aka, linkage and swing arm bearings) and they hold up well when I finally do service them again. 👍🏼
In this instance, grease is better as anti-seize has a fine grit in it - so you don't want that to mix with the oil.
you should do a garage tour!
Jay’s shop is awesome
Hi, great channel! Why do you use diesel engine oil (Rotella T4)?
I learned the hard way not to use tools to powerful. I tried torquing my oil filter covers to spec and I broke a bolt in the case. Took 2 hours to get it out.
I always presoak my oil filters in the 690 takes two.
At 7:08 when you put the filter in, why does the manual say to lay the bike on its side to fill the oil filter compartment 1/3 with oil and fill the oil filter with oil?
Great attention to detail. 6 point, grease threads......
Right now my mc250f gasgas has moterex 10w50 full synthetic. Would it be alright if I switch over to Rotella 15w40 conventional?
I had some metal shavings in the screen and oil filter should i be worried
Hi jay, love the content you guys provide.
How many hours are you getting out of a piston and rings on the 350?
Thanks in advance
120-200 - all depends on level of riding etc
Paldies par informaciju…
Question! I have a ‘23 350sxf, manual says 10w50 but everyone I know uses 10w50 or 15w50, what’s your opinion? Thank you!!
Thanks....
Ktm:s are suppose to have 10w50 api SN oil
ML and CC are 1:1 I think. 1000cc's or 1000ml's is 1 liter.
Why would you change the oil? Ktm usually come with good oil .
I tell ya about 1 in five of those screens I take out the last guy smooshed it in there. Gotta make sure it fits in the notch
Sorry for being a hard ass but adding the torque specs would help a ton!
I just got a 2022 and the manual strongly suggest to use motorex, but it’s like 20 bucks a quart, could I use rotella with out it causing problems?
Email Jay directly with any questions. Contact info in About tab.
Any tips to get the main drain bolt undone if it’s rounded? Previous owner done it up to tight
find my email on contacts or my site etc- email me pics and what bike etc--
I want to switch over to the rotella and was curious why you don’t use the full synthetic T6 rotella?
No benifit and the clutches seem to last better with the conventional-- Weird but sometimes cheaper is better--
I noticed you didn't prefill the oil filter chamber, is that unnecessary? I read there is a potential of the filter collapsing on the first start. What are your thoughts?
Email Jay. Contact info in About tab.
Hey bro did u say " hold the kill switch and the starter at the same time?? I have a 2017 sxf 250 .
Yes
Will the shell rotella work for my 2022 ktm 350 exc-f? I can get that stuff by the case at work. For our diesel trucks. That would save me so much money? Will I change sooner than cross power 4T motorex
Yes it works great-- email me any further questions -
@@dirtbiketv1 just seen the video about DM vs. email. I got you. Thanks
What is best oil to use iv got a 4 stroke and I'm new to ktm its an 07 any feed back much appreciated
I use MOTUL v300 15w50 in my KTM 450 exc 2013 4Stroke
In the manual it is specified to fill the oil filter with new oil.
What? It would just all pour out when you put it in. . . In my '18 excf 350 manual it says to only fill the filter housing 1/3 full of oil and install filter and cover.
@@bikedeefer You're supposed to lay bike over on its side, KTM directions.
@@madman432000 yeah i get that bit if you fill the filter and then put in the bike, while its on its side, it'll just pour out of the filter. . .
@@bikedeefer I don't think the filter would hold much oil either way you do it, since it's not an encased filter. Lay bike over, put oil in housing, insert filter and fasten cover. Stand bike up and put oil in trans.
I don't do that anyway. Leave mine on sidestand, put filter in, install cover, pour oil in fill hole, start bike.
I just received my new 2023 SX-F 350 and the manual says to BOTH fill the filter with oil but to also lay the bike on it's side and fill the hole 1/3rd, then install filter while on it's side. I notice a lot of people don't use any oil in the new filter. Swap Moto did an oil change with Dennis Kirk and they put a new DRY filter in.
Do we fill the oil all the way up full in sight glass or about half sight glass?
Email Jay - contact info in About tab.
Where do you get all of your ktm parts from ? Oil filters ect ?
Rocky Mnt usually
Hey, bro just wanna ask if 250xcf wear off easily when we talk about maintenance like top end than the 350xcf. I need your advice so badly 🤟🏼
Planning for woods/trail riding only
Email me directly please - contact info in About tab
Where do you get your copper washers from?
They come with the oil filter from Rocky Mountain
I think the guy that did this last... is a bad man! LOL
wayyy too tight
It was probably one of his techs. Lol
What are you spraying your oil screens in order to clean them?
Any kind of brakes cleaner or parts cleaner.
I always tip the bike over and put oil in the filter housing before I install the filter and cap. Am I wasting my time?
It is recomended and can't hurt. I do that too.
I used to do that too…I went to stainless filters. Paper does collapse once in a while plus it does break down under heat
How often do you need to replace the oil filter itself?
We do it every other oil change- Email me with any further tech questions.
Dirt Bike TV I’m new and that surprises me as it seems so wasteful to have to Chuck the part for a new one so often. But I guess this is the norm in the dirt bike world.
Biggest reason why people use rotella is because it's jaso-ma certified which means it can be used for motors that use the same oil for motor and gearbox/clutch plus it's cheaper than the Moto name brand oils, and more available. Now ya know
And then they change after every ride.
The recommended 10w 50 full synthetic is superior, I'd never run rotella diesel truck oil
@@Runk3lsmcdougal millions of guys have been doing it for decades - don't you even read any of the oil forums?
@@glenndavis2762 Millions of people eat McDonald's too. Maxima 10w 50 (FIFTY) or any 10w 50 is superior protection. Don't you even know what the 2nd number means? Gtfo, decades? WTF you talking about
@@Runk3lsmcdougal yes, been riding KTMs for 20 years now and following the oil forums for as long (let me give you a clue, 20 years is 2 decades because 10 years is one decade, so 20 years is 2 decades) you gtfo with your superior protection - smh - Guys are riding the KTM and Husky 500/501 to 700 to 800 hours before doing a top end using diesel JASO oils. Your prolly one of those guys that spends the 50 bucks to buy the KTM oil change packages - don't forget to change all the o-rings each time.
This contact cleaner, is it like wd40??
No - a Brake cleaner-- email me further questions
That's me l change mine after every ride and that's just me.
I change my oil after 2 days of riding and oil filter every oil change. Cleaned air filter every time I ride. Why spend thousands on a bike if your not going to make sure it can go the distance
Amen-- too many guys are looking to be cheap and lazy--
Yer supposed to do that.
6 to 8 hours... another reason to ride a 2 Stroke! 40 Hour oil change on my TX300!
😂
Your doing an oil change every time you put gas in it derpy.
@@SLP-eb1wp nope. Fuel Injected. Try again though
3-4 hours? What do you have shares in big oil? RTFM LOL. Manual says 15 hours and that’s if you’re racing. Muppets could get away with 20-30 hours between oil changes.
Lol I change a piston every 20 hours.
Never crank an engine over without oil inside, major long term risk to your engine
