- On this video, we install the Pro Circuit Platinum 2 pipe on my KTM 300 XC-W. This is my first stab at an installation tutorial. Let me know what you think and also let me know what other things you'd like to have me cover.
Just ordered the PC2 for my YZ250X! Have both 304 silencers to swap with. Gotta make it shine like yours!
Great video thanks I thought tberw was a gasket in between pipe and motor now I know the prints take its place thanks you don’t know how much trouble and looking like an idiot you saved me 🙏
O rings you installed looked like silicone. Also I use little bit of gasket maker/high temp silicone stops oil leaks bit better at the barrel
Great video man! thank you very much. Nice picture details, good tips, very instructive. Good job.
Great info guys. Straight to the point 5###
This stuff is easy I'm 12 and I rebuilt my motor on my 2012 kx 100 2stroke the pipe is so easy the hard part 4 me is getting the cinder on my bike is losing compression but I'm getting a KTM 250 2 stroke
Kaleb Mercie Good work Kaleb!
Thanks ur videos are awesome!!! I like the get a new tire video.
wait that oem pipe is badass fmf pipe but your right def not as durable as the aftermarket ones but still probably the best stock pipe on any bike love the vids
Cody Timmer Thanks for watching!
i only have two questions? why go with that pipe hydro_formed knock-off
instead of hand rolled cone and welded pipe?
easier to go generic?
Can you put the slavens s3 head on a 2007 ktm 300. On the web it says 08 and up so just wondering if there's a different one that's pretty much the same thing.
is it necessary to change jetting/carby settings to throw one of these puppys on? or can you get away without it?
Hi Michael, this won't require any new carb settings. It's really a fun "bolt on" modification. I will say however that if your bike isn't jetted properly with the correct jets and needle/needle position for your altitude, you should work on that right away. I saw MUCH more of a performance increase when I finally figured out my jetting/needle, than when I installed my new pipe and silencer combo. If you jetting is spot on already, put a new pipe on it and you'll be a happy man.
Is this the pipe that gives you low to mid torque?
Can anyone tell me what size millimeter exhaust springs for a KTM SX 250 2001? I don't have the old springs to measure. I had a couple 57 mm springs laying around and they were definitely too small.
I would love to pipe my bike but i lost the pipe.
do a review of different boots you have owned.
That is a good idea. I'll put that on the video list.
Awesome vid
Hey dirt bike channel I am missing a spring on my yz250 do I need a new one right away
You will instantly die without it
@@billybull7419 thank you lol
Not a bother
I absolutely love ktm bikes and my smoker 300exc is my favorite bike ever. With that said I wish they could figure out a way so the pipe doesn't just sit out there like a big set of donkey nuts waiting for a big rock. I know there are guards but I like the look without them. Guess I should just shut up and ride!!!!
+Bryan Roberts Donkey Nuts. That made me laugh.
+Bryan Roberts they make nice carbon fibre guards ,i hate the big chunky protectors but carbon ones look smick
Ha! Kyle with hair!
If your wife caught you riding over the flower beds there will be hell to pay lol!
+Cogerino86 :)
Thank you.
and also looking at fmf gnarly pipes it says the years it fits so like from 94-97 does it really matter as they all look the same or are there subtle changes to the shape of the pipe?
Considering this pipe for my yz250. It has a PC works pipe now love the performance. Problem is I hear people comparing the platinum 2 to the fmf gnarly where as PC website says the plat. 2 has the same performance as the works pipe (which many regard as a top end pipe) kinda conflicting as usual on the net. Any thoughts?? Love the videos by the way keep em coming.
Wes in PA
+Wes Hyde I have had both the FMF gnarly and the PC platinum 2. Both of these pipes will bring out your low end and mid range. The FMF Gnarly is very flat on the top end. The PC pipe does a little better on the top end, so it's my pick of the two. The only problem with the PC pipe is that it sticks out further and is easier to dent on the bottom and the side.
+Dirt Bike Channel I'm tempted to try the plat 2. The bike has a vforce3, 13 oz FWW, and a PC works pipe w/ 304 shorty. PA single track/ woods and rocky terrain is starting to take a toll on the pipe plus the works finish is a nightmare to keep nice, def want a platinum finish from here out. I would enjoy more low to mid range and from what you say I will get that, I just don't want my top end to go flat. Bike is pretty mind mannered from low to mid currently. The FWW takes a bit of the top end hit away while giving traction the whole time. Engine just revs to the moon with current set up just hate to lose that lol. As a fellow life long dirt biker you understand by dilemma.
Where the rubber sleeve is, it leeks some oil. What would you recommend doing? Buying a new sleeve?
I'd replace the o-rings first and see if that clears it up.
Yea that's what my cousin said. Thanks for the help!
do u have to jet it after pipe installation
What o-rings is compatible with stock 03cr85r ?
did you adjust the nozzle in the carburetor so the Motor gets more gas and does not get damaged?
TheEscape2012 If your bike is jetted properly to begin with, these pipes don't effect it enough to need to re-jet.
i have a 06 yz 250 i just add the pro circuit platinum 2 pipe and its not staying all the way on. i was riding testing it out and all of a sudden the bike cuts off. i noticed the pipe came off from the motor. how do i make it stay
+Rodriguez Russell sounds like you need new springs or mounts or both. The pipe may be too bent to stay on the bike...
The pipe has new Springs and o rings and the left side has i little opening. It supposed to be flush up again the frame. The first day i rode it hour or 2 perfect. And today i ride it 4 30 mins and it cuts off heard a lot of air suck in
What type of o-ring are those? (viton, nitrile? )
Where did you get those O-rings? all i can find is an fmf kit that only comes with one and is pretty much useless for me
Mcgizzard, FMF sells them on their site, but I think I found mine on Amazon Prime for free shipping. They should come in sets of 2. They are about $10 for a set of 2.
do you get very much power in the bottom to mid-range power?, but do you lost much power on the top/end power?,
i think this exhaust but i don't want to miss/lost all the power on the top/end.
and i have a 04 250 exc 2t.
Hi Nilsen221, I didn't notice any loss in top end power. The bottom end got a bit stronger, but not much. That is mainly due to the fact that stock KTM pipes are actually made by FMF and are racing pipes to begin with. Overall I like the new pipe a lot better because it sounds a little different and looks much better. The performance difference was not huge, but it's a great add on to any bike. I also ended up putting on the Forrest service spark arrestor from Pro Circuit. I like the entire package and would recommend it to a friend for sure. I got a MUCH bigger boost in performance when I got the carberator correctly set up with the right Carb Jet and Needle for my altitude. I hope that helps.
Rocking But Steady
Stock KTM pipes are NOT made by FMF.
Jeff Slavens Thanks for the correction, Jeff. Chances are that you'd know better than me :) I read that one one of the dirt bike magazines a few years ago, so I was just regurgitating it...
What's your methodology on warming up two strokes? I'm assuming you always warm up your bikes pre footage. Thanks!
+Pixel Junkie I don't like to let them idle to warm up. That just fills the power valve up with junk. I start it up and take off. Obviously, I ride it very easy and stay off the pipe for a few minutes, but it works great for me that way.
+Dirt Bike Channel doesn't the piston and cal. get scored up? i would think that they would?
+Nate Bennett cyl*
Nope, my pistons and cylinders have looked great. I'm not talking about revving it out... just riding easy.
Dirt Bike Channel, you may consider making a RUclips video on how to properly warm up a 2 stroke and some basic maintenance tutorials. It could potentially foster some good views and growth for the channel.
Where did you get the o rings from?
do the two stroke bikes have power valves like on a snowmobile?
Yes, they do and they are fully adjustable to set up how quickly they open up.
Lol love it though
i have kx 85 and thinking about getting a pipe do i need to re jet it.
+Nathan semsick if its set up right you wont need new jets etc, maybe just adjust the air screw abit
After I "piped" by bike. I "tired" it and "air filtered" it too.
I have no idea what the guy is talking about. The bike has a tuned exhaust stock.
I think he has been "Piping the Crack", too much.
did the orings come with the pipe or not?
Generally, they will come with the pipe, but you can also buy them separately. I found some FMF (the type isn't important, it's the size that counts) o-rings on amazon and bought a couple sets of them to have extras around. You can also find them on Rocky Mountain ATV/MC.
Can you do a video on how to pipe your 350
Dustin Martin I'm not sure that I'll keep it long enough to pipe it. Not sure what I'm doing with that bike :(
Just give it some time you'll love eventually. I have a 350sxf and its perfect for me because I don't ride track I ride desert
would you have to rejet on a yz. let me know please
Tyler, I don't think you'll need to re-jet your bike. I know that I didn't have to change mine. I will say that having the proper jets/and needles in your carb for your altitude will give you a bigger increase in performance than putting an aftermarket pipe on your bike. You may want to play with jetting after doing your pipe, but if your carb is set up properly, adding pipe won't change that.
ok
thanks
the first pipe of ktm writes somewhere 456. ..
?
Dude old video
Your old pipe doesn't look like it's ever seen CO trails. I guess you don't ride much rock. Can I have your old pipe, it looks unused for this part of the country.
Ian Clark People say/think the darnedest things :) I have multiple pipes and I'm having them fixed all the time from rocky gnarly terrain. Just on Friday, I broke a footpeg right off the bike on a wall hit/hill climb. You want to know the funny thing though? Although I snapped the peg right off the frame, the pipe didn't even get touched. CO isn't the only place in the world with rocks :) Thanks for watching.
it’s hard to watch your videos with all the added bs…just get to the point!
