Cool vid, I've actually never seen one of these apart before, no motorcycles/dirt bikes in the Chair Force, well the rescue squadrons have all that fun stuff, but we didn't work on their stuff. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for taking the time to make & share this video with us. I have an 05' 300 EXC. It's been a great bike and still runs strong, but my kickstarter gears slip sometimes. I realized it needs to be disassembled quite a bit to replace, but seeing you do it makes it a lot less intimidating.
Hi Charlie - 1st comment, I'll edit later! Very informative and video angles were good so able to see what was going on. That was a very nice, clean, rebuild and I hope you haven't got too many vital parts left-over! 🙃
I like your video. Thx for that. Question: The Crank is fit in the bearing without warm/cold. Is that normal for the old EXCs? Or is the crankshaft worn in?
Hey! Super helpful video even years later. Currently doing the top end on my 2002 KTM EXC 250. Question- can you share how you got that one collar nut torqued down that is hidden behind the control flap linkage? Can't fit much in there! This may be helpful to some- according to KTM Maint Manual, Head bolts AND Cylinder Collar Nuts are torqued to 35 N*m... for exc 250 and 300.
Man the last time I worked on a 2 stroke was a yamaha TDR 250 YPVS, good times. That ktm engine looked easy to work on. How is the the fabwork for sir codsworth coming along btw :-)
Hey I’m having trouble with a 1996 KTM 300MXC. With timing issues. It has the SEM stator. When I can get it started it runs backwards? How do I fix this issue.
SEM is basically unfixable once it goes. You can replace the whole system with Kokusan from 1997+ doesn’t matter if it's 250 / 300 / 360 / 380, they all fit
I got a job at a rentals company changing okl, and washing and greasing equipment. After that i just worked my way up. Try applying at your local equipment dealers and see if they have any entry level positions
@@ApeShift oh i see, I'm actually on Mexico, but have an experience and a almost finish degree on mechatronics but I want to go to usa and was thinking on something like a h2b visa or something like that, but I'm not really sure if companies do that anymore

Nice. Cool to see this rebuild. Great job on the music/time lapse and editing.

Another great video. Thanks

What is serial number on your barrel? I'm trying to get a replacement for a missing one on my bike project. Thanks
Good video, thanks!

Where did you get all your case bearings? I’ve got a 01 300 EXC that I split the cases on. I’m having trouble finding all my bearings.
I had to just search the part numbers. Most of them came from Ebay
Thanks, I’ll give that a try.
Hello Charlie,Hello Dave.
PS.Charlie I see you have picture hangers thumb.
#heavyequipmentlife lol
@@ApeShift I got the "thumb" changing the four jaw last week.
About the time it grows out, I'll smash another one lol
Pleaseeee nm for head and cylinder 🙏 I really need thanks
how do determine the ring gap? I know how to check it. I'm asking does weisco have it own settings and where can it be found?
weisco has a listimng on their website, as does the factory service manual

which ones? a few were only available through ktm
Hi Charly, been meaning to ask you about your heavy equipment job is, and what's the process to become one?

What year is this 300 engine? Thanks
2001
