Hell just send me your old break pads and I’ll use those 🤣they still look brand new bruh

You should start by cleaning the calipers and pads with a can of brake clean. Then a quick sand with 180 emery cloth both pads and rotors quick cross hatch hit it with the brake clean again. Double check your hardware isn’t bent (it’s thin) LUBE your contact points! Then go back out and try it. Not blowing $65 on the same pads thinking it’s a “bad set” when money is more tight lol. Which yea it could be but these come dry in all the lube points all over the bike from all the manufactures. Great channel tho man! I’m a long time fan. Average rider father and husband like you.

I was curious if you still recommend the new YZ250X for trail riding. It's been a couple years since you've talked much about it.

I would love to see a video of all of the gear that you use when you're out trail riding

Do you have the part number for these pads i just bought the and am experiencing similar issue

I hate the brake feel on my 19' te300i. What year ktm do I order one brake for?

Thank you!

Hey Kyle what you going to do with them old pads?

Keep doing what you do mate i love watching your videos every day

If you look at them used they all have that texture but those pads are a cheap hard compound for when the brakes get good and hot they dont fail on you like the softer materials do but I get what your saying.. I prefer the harder pads but I also ride the unknown basically no trails kinda areas alot of up and down hills and the harder pad is perfect once they get a good 5 minutes of downhill in them every ride :)

You can bet your butt I'm going to be entering for a chance to win my dream bike. Specially because I don't have a bike, and I love the channel

Personally I don't care for the brembo pads. The power is stellar on brembo, but they have too much initial bite for my tastes. The tusk sintered are way better imo.

I wish you had those rare parts for older ktm dirt bikes... I got an 01 200 and there's not much stuff for them, at least that I can find

50 60 90 100hrs!!! That is one hell of a time span.

He's saying change them at 50-60hrs and again at 90-100hrs.... So basically change your pads every 50hrs or so

I had this pad issue too. Put new ones on 100% better

One of the first to watch 🔥

Should have taken some brake cleaner to the pads and rotor ,they come oil contaminated from the factory, but a necessary evil for storage.

Just better fir bike

Who got the bike??

lol u should see my pads when i replace them

No stress. His family comes first of course. I think he put the office life on the back burner for now.

He does mention ot alot more frequently now.

Why wouldn't you clean the rotors before you rode it ? Then using a screwdriver to open up the NEW pads ? Wtf ? Use a clamp on the piston .

Surprised you couldn’t get the dealer to warrantee the brake pads

Do dealers waranty anything without putting a gun to their head?

kyle!!! whatever happend to rider spotlight!!!

My last 3 bikes KTM, Husky, KTM all came with pads that squeaked after 1-2 rides. Replaced pads with aftermarket. First tried EBC on a 2014 KTM, they squeaked, then went to Galfer- no more squeaks, better feel than the brembos or the Magura's that came on my 2019 Husky. Part of the issue may be that the stock brakes have no lubrication and the brakes don't slide on the pins, and just breaking in the cast calipers, creates metal burrs that scratch up the initial set of pads. Not sure, but doing a redue after a few hours on the bikes seems to work. Suspension has similar issues. Thanks to your other videos on suspension set up, I am very happy with both the forks and shock on my 2023 KTM after hours of sequential adjustments, including adjusting the chain by removing the rear shock bolt on a stand and a linkage bolt, to find the proper chain tension as the wheel moves up freely. It's almost 4 of my fat fingers or it binds and makes you think the problem is the shock. Grease all the needle bearings with blue grease, and reconfigure the entire front end in the exact proper order and save a couple thousand dollars on sending everything out for a re-valve and re-spring. Keep up the good work. Best channel and great comments to clarify what can't be caught in a time restrained video.

You use a screwdriver to spread them? Wow, didn't know that was ok, if you were to do that on a bicycle u would get so much crap from some know-it-alls
