- The bikes 2nd Piston Change. My Supermoto Ktm 530 EXC. A how to on how i did the swap. I was supposed to change the Cam Chain too but I had borrowed the wrong special tool. So 1 week later i did the swap. My bike had blow-by symptoms with the old piston, and im hoping to seal the piston rings good and tight with a hard break in. The 530 has the XC4 motor, which is basically the same for newer (2012 and forward) exc-bikes such as the 500 exc. For the RFS (2003-2007) motor i recomend another video which i'll link down bellow.

Realistic time for you first time doing this: 8 h
you shouldn't talk while doing mechanic stuff.. takes way longer time. but it gets more structured that way.
At Friday i started collecting tools at 9 pm. and then i called it a day at midnight by then i had gotten down to the cylinder. Then the next day (sat) i started working at 6 pm and left at 10 pm with the bike almost done. So considering im vloging + late night mechanic + my first time doing this + many mistakes = 8 hours, but next time I feel like i could do it in 3h.

5:43 closes your eyes and listen lol great video 4 strokes are so hard to rebuild
WeRideLikeThis Not hard, just annoying cuz it take's so long
Your enthusiasm is quality.
"This used to be black.... #MichaelJackson"
That made me laugh out loud for real.... Classic !!!!
Perfect video. This is exactly what I'm needing to do. Wasn't sure if I needed to take the engine off. Thanks!
Thanks to your video I was able to change the top end on my ktm 530 all by myself 💪🏾
Did you do your ring gaps?
Just another reson to get a twostroke... Keep it up man!
Your commentary,is so funny and enjoyable👍👍
I`m glad i own a 2-stroke :D Piston change on a 4-stroke is hell.
ProleX 2s with 6000km a year is hell as well cuz piston change every 100km almost
PauL1e 125cc are 50-100h and piston needs a change but i have heard that you can ride 200h with 300exc
15 Minutes looks like a nightmare?... better than putting new jets in when it comes winter lol
ObamaLama Nation you dont need to do that on the new KTM Tpi
@@red_jamex4949 MY friend had a 2019 300tpi. Oil pump failed and the engine seized. 2 months later his warrently got approved and he finally got a new bike. Not worth the hassle. Just get a 4 stoke. this is coming from someone who had a yz250 rm80 and and 300exc. All new - the rm 80. Not worth it. Theres a reason why two strokes are on there way out of production and the pros prefer 4 strokes.
even though i dont own a ktm (maybe a 690 smc or a 990 smr soon) i found this video informative and funny as hell. keep up the good work
Need to do this on my 08 xcf w 250 this week. Rebuilt the carb last week and decided to remove the lower bolts on the subframe, loosen the top bolts and swing the subframe with the airbox and rubber boot up and out of the way. A few wires on the battery and it was a HUGE help to work on and reinstall the carb. Previous owner of the bike had one of the rubber locating fingers that align with the tab on the carb folded under and was causing an air leak.
Surprised how fast and easy it was to r+r the carb with subframe swung up and out of the way, and tons of room to get at things!!!
how you know which selection of piston buy without measuring cylinder
should know when owning bike...
There's a punched/engraved letter in the cylinder, buy the corresponding piston size.
Very nice Video! and many thx to introduce us to your bike. Im planning to buy one and can't wait to feel the POWER ! :D
did you hone the cylinder?
Keep up making those tutorials! I really love them😏!
If i ride this bike commuting on the road how often does the piston have to be changed?
Nice video, how did you selected the piston size (tolerance) before dissasebling the engine?, does the cylinder nedded to be rectified considering the damage seen on the piston?
How many hours you need to change the piston during normal driving not heavy? the manual is written in 135 .But I think it's early . you how many have changed?
You slid the cam out without taking off the rocker arms? Did you loosen the 4 bolts or did i miss somthing?
Where did you get that book? I want to do the same with ktm 525. I want to follow step by step
Just bought one of these bad boys and converting to motard! You are funny AF - loved this...
Vad var det för Special verktyg som behövdes?
Did you change the cylinder to or just the piston? Do you have a parts list?
Awesome video mate, full of humor and trickness !!! and very instructive by the way
Thanks man! haha humor is the only thing that would get me through it.. XD
Ahaha the strain shaking, we all know that feel! Also when that coolant started squerting out xD
Hooray you did it! Top dead center nOoooooooo!
What about your cylinder? If the piston looked like that, wouldn't you need to deglaze your cylinder, or at least check if it's ok? Still got some crosshatchings?
How you measure cylinder what selection you need(A,B,C) ?
Did you ever remove the rivot gaskets that stick out from the cometic gasket?
Very entertaining and inspiring! Bra jobbat!
Now I understand why this is so expensive at the dealer, might consider doing this after the winter, total ride count is 140 ish and will not ride more that 10hr in all winter, but can also do it on next oil change, the faster the better
how many hours was this bike driven when u changed the piston?
Hey! I want to buy a supermoto but i am stuck on two models....exc 525 2006 and exc 530 2009. From your experience,please give me some sugestion about this two models... thank you👍
halo friend ....can you help me..???
i have ktm sxf 250 2017...many problem my bike...not idle and if i open trotle my bike deat
If I can do it. so can you! If you know how to change a piston (which you do know), the exc will last 4 evs!
#mechanicallyhandicapped
BLDH hi I have just bought a Ktm 530 exc and mines burning oil what piston and rings did you put in and has it work ?? Thanks
Currently Stock Piston and rings are in the bike. and havent had any burning oil problems ever since :) but i had before :)
BLDH so what did you just buy 2010 piston and rings ?
BLDH she
Hi, can you help me find the right manual for my ktm? i dont speak your language i cant find it on here: www.karlstrommotor.se/ ? i have a ktm 500 exc 2016 six days. would realley appreciate it thx!
Really helpfull video .. also made me laugh 😆 thsnk you its given me confidence to do this myself
After how many hours did u change piston?
how much time is on the old piston?
Did you buy original ktm piston or prox? :)
man please help us. we are trying to split the motor but nothing we all ready removed all the screws but nothing.
This was brilliant :D
Nice video! I have a 530 myself, and i wonder how often you take a piston change? And what else maintance do your bike get? :D
Du är jätte duktig på engelska BLDH,You are awesome on english
this is going to squirt :D haha nice one
great job man!!
Thanks, great video
Why you changed piston only with 110 hours?
do you happen to know how do i move the wheel/sprocket to top dead center without kickstart, i have only electric start? put it on gear and spin the rear wheel or how?
Spin your rear wheel

Who can help me? please, I don't know how to set the rings gap on the piston, in the manual I do not understand...
Michael jackson! good one bro! btw, im looking for the repair manual for my 2012 500 exc, any suggestion where i can download it? thx a lot!
how big is that carbourator
Thanks for sharing
no oil on the bore??!
you should also make a video on the hard break in:)
How often do you have to do a piston change? On a 2 stroke exc its every 80 rh...
normal street use/amateur enduro from 170-250h
Help me out when should I change my piston on husaberg fe 450 2010? The piston has 80h atm 🤔
+200h
Nice video man. I do my own oil/filter changes, brakes and wheels and all the simple stuff. But this, my friend, is not as easy as you make it seem. So much can go wrong with catastrophic effect. Where did you learn these skills?
thealvaco buy a cheap bike and just try it out, little 2 strokes are a lot easyer and not very much things can go wrong. If you now how to do it try it on a big bike. I’m 14 and I started on a chinese pitbike and now I replace pistons out of 250cc 4-strokes.
One Question.. // After how many hours have you changed it? // And after how many hours you change the oil? thanks! @BLDH
between 70h and 120h, i did now 110h.
oil is between 5h and 15h. i go with 10h :P
Hei BLDH !!
Kom det mycke vitrøk ur din motor innan stempel bytet?
Har en 530 exc-r 08 med 82 t, och 3500 km.
Børjade pløtsligt ryka mycket av avgasen.
Tycker det er mycke trykk ur vevhusventilationen på min.
Hur va din innan??
Ursjekta my swedish I'm norwegan
Sett alla dina videoer🙂👌👌
nej det kom inte vit rök från min. en vinterdag kom det blå rök lite grann men annars inte. :/
BLDH your appreciation for the word Fuck matches my own! Fuck yeh! Good job on the video.
😁😂🤪🙌 funny video. Good job!
haha. fan vad skön du är!
How come all these KTM 530 top end jobs never show you how they re check the timming and they always skip that part? The most crucial part?
Fan va trångt och jävligt😂
that's how we like them ;)))))))))))))) hahhah
+BLDH Fyfan va sant😂
Jag har kollat några klipp ett par kvällar nu, ser bra ut. Men du skruvar inte så mycke/ofta va? 😜
Haha this guy is a fucking champ i could watch his videos all day well done mate, fucking awesome! 👍
The carb is a lot easier to remove and refit if you push back on the air box boot. It is fiddly, but that rubber pushes back enough to give you enough room to free the front boot and manipulate the carb out or in.
Классное видео!
Never seen someone about wet their pants over TDC. lmao
Lol you're funny af. Nice video
+Alfred Roenhorst haha thank you sir! :))))
Nice video, thanks for putting this together. Actually pretty funny at moments.
Basically, looks like you followed the service repair manual? Or did you blaze your own trail....?
haha. yeah not only just tears. haha. yeah I followed the repair manual, one should always follow that when doing these kind of stuff when you arent 100% sure. after time you will learn yourself. but to avoid mistakes manual is key! :)
thanks for watching :)
BTW.....did you measure the inside of the piston for wear? I heard that some guys have to get it honed and then they apply the "Nikasil" coating...
no i didnt. these cylinders are nikasil treated and you dont "hoon" them. just lock and load! ;) like even when the piston got really worn the cylinder kept intact due to it being so strong with the nikasil
Nice work bench, are you work in wood.
should i do it at 100 hours? i ride a ktm exc 125, so do i change at 100 hours even if its a 2 stroke?
+Fredrik Wold 2 strokes are more frequent. ive heard numbers around 50h. google it ;)
ye, depends on how u ride, the shop i bought it at said 50 if u drive like motocross and just drive crazy so its 50 i guess :D
oh never gonna be professional anyway so thats out of the question haha
Dónde puedo conprar unas piesas de motor KTM 450 2009
can you tell me how much kilometers do you drive in this 100 houres ?
bigsteev1 5-8k ish
What year is your bike? im looking at getting a 2008 KTM 530 EXCR
0:16
+BLDH oh sorry I didnt see that the first time i watched. Iv heard the 2008 ones have some oil pump issue
Awesome tutorial, show me how to piss coolant all over the floor again LOLZZZZ
It is normal for the piston not to rise to the maximum point of the cylinder?
Yes, it should always be under the the lip of cylinder.
How to change a piston: get a WR and don't do it. HAHAHAHA
+BeRADMoto WR's need piston changes aswel. Bore-gauge the cylinder and measure the piston. Only way to tell if you need a new piston.
+BeRADMoto haha you fucker! XD
So what about oil? For first miles u use halfsynthetic and later on full synthetic?
For the first oilchange non syn 10w-50 and then after maybe 1h of riding get that shit out (and filter) and put your regular oil in. (i run OKQ8 15w-50 SBK racing). after that it should be 5h till next oil change. 15h if your lazy and dont have a soul!
Thx! When u release first start? :D
when i actually start it! hahaha
Besides being great info, this was really entertaining to watch. My grandpa was 100% Norwegian, from the Landsem farm. He came over on a boat at 17 with his uncle and w/out a penny to his name and no idea how to speak English. He died a millionaire b/c he worked his ass off. This dude reminds me of my grandpa. Awwww. I know, cheesy. Who cares. So, great vid. New subscriber. I ride a '13 500 EXC with 202 hours and 6200 miles. Just checked valves and they're perfect. These motors are ridiculous. What signs will I get when the piston is shot?
Hola, mi 2013 KTM 450 exc en 2024 tiene 250 horas y sigue sin consumir aceite. Uso tranquilo. Cuanto duró tu pistón?
Saludos.
damn this seems really complicated i want to get a supermoto but im worried that id fuck it up while replacing something in the engine
I always have to freeze my gudgion pin looks like ktm got it right on there pins
BLDH The mechanic
Hey, you shouldn't put oil on cylinder bolt oil never touches these bolts, liquid isnt compressible. if you bolt it to hard, you can brake the cylinder. No need for oil ever on bolts. Good job tho
well, sometimes you should oil bolts to get a good torque but you're right, not too much because it isn't compressible.
Not sure of the torquing process on this bike, but when I did head gasket's on my 2000 Mustang, the manual specifically said to put 5w-30 motor oil on the threads of the bolts so in certain cases it is alright. I would say a thin coat could only be beneficial and remember the threads do not form a perfect seal so the oil will likely be able to escape if it build pressure, especially very large and course threads like most cyl. head bolts are. That being said I wouldn't dump oil into the bolt hole or something, just a very thin coat with a oiled rag or something.
The head bolts do have oil on them, I just did mine, so I can confirm.
Oil is often need on head bolts to achieve the correct torque and also correct crush on the head gasket. The bolts should not be swimming in oil because as you said oil is incompressible and will very easy crack cases. Only enough to aid in rotation of the threads.
Dem boots doe
Skulle göra rent mitt luftfilter idag och det gick bra och så men när jag skulle sätta tillbaka det så ramlade en bussning av rätt in i luftburken så jag har haft isär halva moppen idag bara för att få ut bussningen.
Å nu är det bara avgasrör som ska av för att komma åt förgasaren för allt sitter så tight på min DT.
Skitbra video :)
+Dionysus lider med dig!
Dionysus dt50 är fan den värsta moppen å meka med xD
Riktiga män mekar utan handskar (y)
hahaha u are so funny guy :) 5/5
thanks god for 2 stroke engine this 4stroke engine is hard to maintenance
can you link bloopers and fisrt startup? on my phone...
+Deep_Void OFC!!!! ;) I gottcha bro!
+BLDH ty :)
Is it normal to change your own piston? I mean, I probably would fuck it up, im not a mechanic.
just a word of advise, clean the oil off the head bolts before you thread them in. good vid though im going to do my piston soon
Just a word of advice, always oil the head bolts to minimize thread friction to set it at correct torque.
690smcr seems to look easier to take valve cover of for e.g
Given the amount of wear on the piston skirt. How much wear was on the cylinder sleeve? Good video, a lot less swearing than i would of let out!
Ryan Ivan was searching for a comment like this. thought the same
How many hours on that peestone?
My friend changed it on his EXC450 at 130hrs
Loool Just take a hammer and just hammer some where on the bike thats how I feel like doing! :D Well gongrats on your succses BLDHs Much löve!!
Only on a 4-stroke do you need a 15 minute video for a piston change :p
+Aleksi Tuunainen nah, i just like talking too much ^^
Only on a moped you use 2-strokes.
At top death center, FUCK YEAH! :D
