i'll keep watching no matter what, I love the technical/mechanical aspects of your videos even more than the ride vids, I just love tearing stuff apart:)
As to your question about doing daily shows or weekly, I like the idea of a weekly show of highlights(Highlandlights). And then the occasional maintenance vids. My 2 cents.
I'd say, do what feels best for keeping your sanity. I like the daily's, but I also like the specific more in depth videos as well. I think whatever you decide to do, we'll be watching!
@@P4ddyC4ke Not much man just went for a ride this morning on my new Husky TE 150i. I am trying to get back into it. I MAY do a couple races this year we'll see. How about you?
@@SkinnySkinch I’m doing great man! I’ve had both of my hips replaced now, but haven’t ridden in a very long time. I need to find some new riding buddies and get back out.
I like the daily slogs you do. Gives me a chance to acquire tips and trick, does n donts. What to look for win its doing this or doing that. Its good to see what all goes on in a daily bike shop. Gives me chances to learn about different things that I might one day encounter with one of my own bikes. But do what you got to do. But remember more videos out more followers in. If that's what your going for. Anyway my FAVORITE part of all your videos. I must say ,,, "Ride your DIRTBIKES "
Here’s a idea maybe every other day plus it would be a longer episode but technically it won’t be a daily shlog but it’s still really really cool what your doing I love the videos keep it up you deserve a lot more subscribers
Reduce the work on yourself. Do the slog a few times and specific videos. As much as I like that daily slog if its a huge PITA its going suck to keep up with on your end. Do what you need brother.
hi I've got a 1999 300 exc/egs and I was wondering if you had any correct reading for the stator. I've tested the stator but unsure of what the reading should be. the wires coming from my stator are as follows, 2xyellow, 1green, 1black, 1red. many thanks Luke
I just picked up a KTM 50 for my boy and already have a stator failure, looks like this is a very common problem that will happen again...anything you find to help prevent common failures of theses stators or at least help prolong the life?
KTM STATOR WIRES DAMAGED by branch. Anyone? How to fix and prevent? KTM EXC/XCW 300, 2023 Tnx FEEDBACK: branch obviously hit also injector and unplugged electricity from it. Was not easy to see, if you have similar issue, check this. Plugged back, works😁
@@highlandcycles tnx. I measured resistence in connector for 3 black wires that go from stator, all 3 have low resistence. Now I have to check red and green wire that go from sensor behind the magnet? How to measure them? Where do they go? Tnx🙂
@@matejkersic that’s the pulser coil (crank position sensor) they go to a connector that you can unplug and test. Should be around 100-200 ish ohms. I can’t remember the spec but it’s not super low
Hey Morgan, hope you have be a great vacation. Look forward to more shlogs...so I have used Rotella in my old '08 300 for 8 years both with & without Rekluse...I now still use it currently in my '18 300 with stock clutch & all seems fine...I know it has all the motorcycle JASO ratings too. What in your opinion seems to be bad about it...be interested to hear. I may just be lucky cause with it being so affordable, I change my oil out every two rides. Chow Rob
@@highlandcycles cool thanks for the reply...maybe the higher heat the 4t's generate could be an issue...later...now I'm off to ride my "dirt bike!!!"....👍
There is a ton of debate about that but I’ve seen issues with it, especially with clutches. Some people don’t have any issues though. I like Belray gearsaver in my transmission.
Test resistance between here and ground.. where is “here”!? You just pointed to a random plug that isn’t connected to anything. Can you please be a little clearer for dummies like me 😂
Never mind I think you’ve just unplugged the input terminal of the ignition coil yes? So you test resistance between that and ground? What ohms setting on the multimeter? 200 is the lowest.. thanks 🙏
@@highlandcycles thanks I sure hope that’s the trick I’ll try tomorrow- so far I’ve put a new battery, new spark, tested the coil, the relay, changed oil and gas and the bike still doesn’t do anything- it has electronic and kick start. Oh well it’s been a learning experience:)

Don’t set yourself up. Make a video when you think it’s worth doing. We’ll be happy! Thanks for all the information!
Ok thanks!
Shlogs are the best! I like lot when you tell tricks and be specific on problems and how to deal with those👍
Awesome! Thanks so much
Your info on how to test the stator on an KTM was spot on.... found that was our issue!!! Please keep uploading videos thanks!!!
Awesome. Thanks for watching
Lol. On the Rotella. I don't even know if guys are serious half the time about using it but I'm. Not. I did once and my shifting was
all crunchy
The energy info,and love in the videos is what keeps me watching. Do them when you want. Change it to the "Dailyish Schlog". I'll keep watching.
Thanks so much

Daily shlog addicted here!!

Do whatever you can to keep the bike cool. Seems to be heat that kills then. So good coolant, set the clutch up to. It slip too much.
When you measure to ground it must show no connection to ground.
Yep. Some stator do connect to ground though.

That suck. Only thing I can think of is making sure they are zip tied tight and out of the way

@@highlandcycles tnx. Mine is 96 ohms. Is that ok?
All wires seem ok, but the engine starts and when you give throttle it dies. What could be the problem?

I honestly don’t see a ton on of issues with it in transmissions but I have seen issues in 4T bikes.
@@highlandcycles cool thanks for the reply...maybe the higher heat the 4t's generate could be an issue...later...now I'm off to ride my "dirt bike!!!"....👍
Awesome!!!
I got a 93 ktm 300 mxc with no spark. This sucks, I'm getting good readings in stator & cdi coil.
That sucks.
I've got no spark on a 450 sxf. any thoughts on trail tech. stators? id like to add a head light too.
I like trail tech stators a lot
What’s wrong with using rotella? I’ve heard it recommended by people for transmissions. What’s good to use?
There is a ton of debate about that but I’ve seen issues with it, especially with clutches. Some people don’t have any issues though. I like Belray gearsaver in my transmission.

@@highlandcycles Awesome thank you for responding. The reason i asked is, I have been using it and wanted to make sure i didn't mess my bike up.
If you read this comment I'm heading out to Taylor park colorado on the 17th-27th ish and if you want to ride let me know
Thanks man. I’d love to but I’ll be slammed and then we race on the 26th. Thanks for the invite
@@highlandcycles no problem, thanks!
Maybe twice a week on your slower days?🤷♂️
Right on

@@Dr_KAP you are right about the plug to test and 200 should be the right setting because you are looking for about 180 I think.
