I used the same oil on a low hour 350 not ridden excessively hard & came out black after 10hrs ! Yours was so clean, how many hrs on that oil pls?
@@wayno23 I do mine every 4-5 hours. I like it to come out looking pretty clean. At 10 hours your oil is fine but definitely contaminated with clutch friction material so typically would look black by then. These bikes only take 2 quart so its cheap insurance to just change it often. My thinking is that clutch friction material can't be good for your cylinder, cams, bearings, etc.
@@913outdoors oh ok cool thanks for that 👍
Great video but that’s crazy using power tools on an oil change especially a dirt bike with weak aluminum. 30 plus years in mechanics and electrical metal fabrication I’d never in my life recommend power tools to tighten something like this.
These tools have a low power setting that only torques to 3-5 lb/ft. As long as you feel the thread start and light touch to start threading its a huge time saver and does no damage. Come back through with a torque wrench as needed. To me I have more feel and control than using a T handle or socket wrench. If you barely touch the trigger you can run a bolt extremely slow and know instantly if its cross threading. Its been over 20 years since i've stripped or broken a bolt. Definitely impossible to get that feel with air tools. I'm using a Milwaukee Fuel M12 3/8 impact gun. Try one out on something you don't care about to test and you will see what I mean. They are amazing how much feedback and control they have.
@@913outdoors I have tons of power tools impact guns I have switched from using air tools. Yes I use them all the time taking bolts off but Almost never use them threading on always use your hands to thread it in first. You do understand how an impact works? It’s hammering down on the threads. Especially dirt bike engine casings are very weak cast aluminum. I dunno your bikes you do what you want your video was very good and informative also I just won’t use impacts on my dirt bikes. Besides on the wheels.
Is this the same for the 350 XCF? What’s wrong with the KTM oil/filter boxes they sell? I used Mool on my sport bikes and really liked it.
Exact same for the 350xcf yes!
Is this same process on the 24’ xc-f? Same oil and filter??
@@HailMich Exact same for the 24 and 25 yes.
Do not use an impact wrench on your bike like this guy. buy a torque wrench and do it properly!
Setting 1 on that gun is 4-5 lb/ft.
@@913outdoors maybe, and no doubt you have the knowledge and experience to make it work for you. But 95% of fellow bikers out there don't have that exact impact wrench. So they'll use what they got lying around and strip those bolts out. You have to assume people watching are absolute beginners.
@@RhinoStar0 For sure. I mentioned to use no more than 8lb/ft torque in the video. The little 8mm bolts holding covers and such are ok anywhere 5-10 lb/ft. I bust out the torque wrenches for critical bolts like suspension, clamps, internal engine parts, etc.
Straight to the point, no BS. Great video.
Thank you!
Never ever use any power tool to start a thread unless you don’t care about cross threaded and ruining your bike. Always thread by hand then you can use whatever you want after.
Definitely always make sure the threads catch before cranking. The 3/8 impact on the low setting won't break a bolt but if not starting at slow speed to feel it out or turn the first 1/2 turn by hand to be sure threads catch is important.
This man is fearless , using a drill on his threads 🤣
1/4" impact set to the lowest setting. Measured 5-8 lb/ft max torque. Works great!
I'm sure . But I would some how stuff it up and spin out the threads 😢😂
The Milwaukee Fuel tools are super accurate. On setting 1 you can't even strip the 6mm wood screws for the plastics
Just bought a new-to-me 450 XCF-W, but I think this still applies. Thanks for the easy to follow video.
450 is basically the same. Pre-2023 have an extra screen at the bottom. Otherwise, same process! Congrats on the new bike.
Are most people actually doing a 3 to 5 hours oil change? That's like an oil change every single time you visit the track. It just seems excessive.
Depends on use really. If you let it go longer then you have quite a bit of friction material from the clutch in your oil. The oil itself would probably be fine at 100 hours but super contaminated. Cheap and fast insurance to just keep fresh oil in the bike. Way easier than doing top ends prematurely. I do mine every 3rd tank of gas. Which is about 4-5 hours for me.
I have a 2009 sxf 250. How many liters of oil does it take when you change both the filter and oils
1.1 liters is the capacity on your bike. If you change it every 5-10 hours, use 1 liter exactly. If you go longer than that use 1.1 as those bikes burn off a little bit of oil typically.
Recently got my KTM 350, thanks for the tutorial!
No problem 👍
Due to change my oil this weekend I’m using the Motul 300v but I was recommended 10hrs??? Thanks for the tip on priming, nice touch.
Thanks! Told me everything I needed to know and nothing I didn't. Spot on video!
@@sheepnotfound3419 thank you!
Do not use an impact to install bolts 😬
On setting 1 the most it puts down is 8lb/ft. And that's if you really crank on it. Just zipping bolts on I measure 5-6lb/ft and that's the spec. Trust me I get it! Lol. But these new Milwaukee tools are really accurate and make service work a breeze.
I believe he’s trying to say it’s REALLY easy to cross thread using an impact while installing. Thread by hand always then you can use whatever you want
Yes always either super light/slow spin them to start or turn by hand slightly to make sure threads catch. I've been working on bikes for over 30 years and have never stripped a thread. Just have to be careful.
Thanks man…nice video.
where do you get the funnel screw tool he used to fill with
Etsy. 3D printed KTM funnel. Awesome tool!
Watched this to see if I can gain any tips to make the process quicker. Having the 2024 xcf the skid plate gets in the way. I recommend using some anti-seize on your bolts. Thanks for the video!
I have a 24' 450xcfw and feel your pain! That skid plate is not as easy as the 19-22/23 bikes were. Old one would swing out by the swingarm so just 2x 8mm bolts up front and it drops out of the way. The new one has way more coverage but you need to remove all 4 bolts and they are hard to locate holes on install. Anti-seize for sure!
@@913outdoors yes sir, gotta love the factory skid plate. Works great out here for open desert. Great bikes all around though!
@@KingCaz01 Yes for sure! I love the new chassis.
how come when i put in recommended amount of oil mine is full in oil sight glass??
Are you draining it out on the side stand or on a flat stand? And changing the filter + cleaning the screen? I always measure exactly 1000ml and its exact. All my 350fs and 250f are the same.
Check when the bike is running. It should go down a bit
I put exactly 1L in my bike and it was completely drained out and my sight glass was completely full I’m pretty sure it’s only supposed to be half to 2/3 of the way in the sight glass. Caused my timing chain tentioner seals to start leaking being it had too much oil pressure anyone else have this problem? Didn’t happen until I changed the oil
Great video! Thanks!
Thank you!
Best tutorial out there…
Thank you!
Superb bud - the 23 still looks better than 24 - no silly purple 🤣👊
I have a 24 xcfw and i like the purple on the orange shrouds. I don't like it on the white shrouds the MX bikes got.
@913outdoors I love the Classic Orange n White KTM colours. The purple went a bit 90s for me 💜 which is fine I think that was the Idea
Think I will fit an Orange Rear fender on my tho..like the 24
Your Orange Hubs look nice.really Tie it all in
@@Forged721 Thanks! Well I grew up racing in the mid 90s and purple was ALL the rage back then 🤣. I think its cool. The 23 looks a lot better in person than in pics though. I like the look.
@913outdoors yeh TBH ..I think the 23 SXF was a Game changer ascetics wise ..The Black Frame.wheels.Neon Seat.Sharp futuristic Shrouds
The whole look swung me from Blue to Orange
And with all the tech and brembo brakes.Hydro Clutch ....the decision was easy 👍👍
@@Forged721 For sure! Awesome bike. This is my 3rd KTM 350. They are amazing bikes if you take care of them. Super reliable too. Definitely looks cool is a bonus 💪
