When i was 8 years old my dad took a yz 125cc motor and put it in an 80cc frame and that is what I learned to ride on. Lets just say i learned respect for my bike quickly. Hit that power band, and it took off like a raped date. (as my dad would say)

These are the best videos on the Internet.

Thank you. Excellent work. Ordered kit from you because of this video.

Thank you for this perfect and detailed video 👍! Greatings from Germany!

Nice job 👍

That’s crazy how you can get those clips in without scratching the piston at all, i did the top end on my 250 yesterday and scratched my piston on both sides🤦‍♂️ wish I had seen this video first that trick with the screwdriver would have made everything so much easier haha

super video

Set the z before you put the cylinder on the bike. And if you don’t loosen the jam nut set screw you don’t have to reset it.

We have a whole engine rebuild series for the 450, 500 and 501. You can check out the full series here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/mp-V19atlcfZoqg.html Part 5 will show the top end assembly process, including piston replacement.

I would say this KTM is actually "oil injected" as opposed to fuel injection like the TBI is. If and when the oil pump goes this bike will seize up! TBI is a much better option as you still put oil in the fuel.

Shouldn’t you have added coolant and let it bleed through the temp sensor before putting the tank on? (I’ve done it with the tank on also)

what type of grease are you using ?

TPI really died a death,no wonder with all the associated issues, glad riehu and beta still offer good old fashioned carbs 👍

Question: is it wise to run the oil relay to actuate the oil pump before the first start?

Please Help me: I cant torque the spark Plug because the cumbustion camber spins. What can I do?

Would this be close to the same on a KTM 125?

Awesome video! I’m wondering, what steps are different when performing a top end on a 150 TPI?

@rmatvmc

7 ай бұрын

Your 150 will be very similar to the steps shown in this video and this will be a great guide to have on hand for your rebuild. Thanks for checking out the video!

The retaining washer for the control valve in this video is triangle shaped. This is different that what is in the KTM exhaust valve blueprint which shows retainer plates instead. Where can these retainer washers be found?

Great video, except you skipped checking the X-Distance... you show buying 3 base gaskets, how does your viewer know which one(s) to use?

Great video Charles but the only quality part on that KTM was the NGK Plug.

Spoiler alert: you are going to have nightmares with the piston circlips 😉😂

You will want to take off the exhaust control cover on the right side of your cylinder and see which number is stamped on it. Then you can order the corresponding piston. We have a short video explaining more about this here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qauizaqClpOsZ9o.html

When deciding on a base gasket height, would it be ok to just reuse the same size as the one(s) you pulled off?

@rmatvmc

Not necessarily. That might be a good starting point, but the reason you'll want to check the deck height is because the new parts can vary slightly due to manufacturing tolerances. I'd recommend checking it to avoid problems. -Charles

Tip: do not remove the middle screw in the right power valve mechanism, then you won't have to set Z dimension again

@human1513

But then you cannot remove the exhaust valve control shaft behind it to clean the shaft and cylinder in that hole and replace the "o"ring. So why do an approx. 90% job when the engine top is completely removed and being inspected & cleaned. As a mechanic / technician not doing this is considered being a hack.

I have always been told to never use a ball hone in a 2 stroke cylinder because the balls can catch on the transfer ports and damage the cylinder. Is that not a issue anymore?

@keshmo12

2 жыл бұрын

That's 1 reason. The other reason is that the cylinders are nikasol coated and a ball hone can damage the coating. All you need to do is scotch brite the glaze off the cylinder and it's good to go. Some people say the nikasol coating is so hard that the ball hone doesn't hurt it. Ball hones are good for non -coated cylinders generally.
