If you don't have a vacuum bleeder take a large serenge and load it with brake fluid, go from the bottom bleeder port by the engine cover, open the fitting port, push fluid up into the reservoir slowly. Works like a charm, in 5 minutes you will have an air free perfect clutch pull.

Good job Travis. I also have the ASV long/short combo on my Super Tenere. Really nice levers. If I go the 300 route I'm considering the R&Duro Easy Clutch. You are getting your bike dialed in nicely. I'm still rolling on my beat to crud 2012 Beta 498 dual sport. Dang thing refuses to die!! Glad to see you all healed up and back in the saddle my man!!

Great video. I pair the 9mm master with an Oberon aftermarket slave to compliment the master. The clutch is like a trials bike now, soft and smooth.

Nice! Not sure if someone else covered this, but you can pull the bleed nipple off the pneumatic bleeder and suck the fluid out of the reservoir too. Super handy tool.

On my 02 ktm 250sx and now on my 18 beta 250rr re is replaced lever with the Mid West Eng. Lever . On my beta it is a 1 finger pull all day long . I don't like the square edges on the lever to I just took a curved file and rounded it off for my comfort . I love them , best money I have spent .

Midwest changes the pivot to basically make it feel like a 9mm Problem with Midwest for me is that it doesn’t fold forward and I will not run full wraps anymore. But I did run a Midwest before when I was a full wrap guy and it’s good (if you’re smart enough to set it up)

Back in the cable clutch days on the Big Island of Hawaii Mauna Kea 200 two day extreme enduro I used a tackle box fish weight scale to check riders clutch pull lb, the pulls varied from 3 to 8 lb pull, some were smooth some were rough and hard pull, I called them DNF clutches.

3-8 sounds really light. Stock is around 15 on these bikes and with this mod plus another we can get them down around 9. I’m probably at 12ish now but the other mod takes pressure off the clutch, not good for the 500

I really like the blue plastic Travis. Where were you able to find that?

Have u ever had to adjust the pressure plate to #3 hole? On my 24 300 it engages towards the end of lever throw, it's definitely worse after repeatedly slipping it. I've manually bled it twice after installing 9mm.

@EverySingleSunday

10 күн бұрын

If it’s been slipping and you’re in a higher pressure setting the plates are probably worn out and need to be replaced. I usually run on the softest or the middle setting for less pressure. I would also make sure it’s bled properly. KTM clutches usually last forever so it to be dead already is wild

Thinking seriously about going this route, im using Midwest on the same bike. Its hard to get set-up perfect an keep free-play in the lever. My bike never was easy to get into neutral but it's almost impossible once it hot unless youre rolling which isnt a huge issue but jus enough to be lil aggravating at times.

@EverySingleSunday

I ran a Midwest for a long time but don’t like wrap arounds so I need a folding lever. The 9mm feels great in my option Most KTM don’t like to hit neutral unless you’re rolling.

I usually push the fuid from the brake caliper and up to the reservoir to bleed the air. Does it work the same way with the clutch?

@EverySingleSunday

3 ай бұрын

You can go either way. I use a vacuum bleeder on the bottom so it sucks it down and I can just keep adding fluid. This is easier for me and works perfect. But both ways work

I put a 9 on my 12 ktm 350 xc-f and it's night and day better. I was at the shop the other day and saw a brand new ktm 350 xc-f factory model or 6 days or something (one of the really premium models) and sure enough it had a 9 clutch.

My ktm 300 2017 had pretty soft clutch stock. Then I put a quite widely used folding lever from aliexpress and now it is even easier…can ride whole day without any fatigue. I tried the 9mm and didnt like it - i would need to keep the lever far from reach or suffer the clutch drag…

My 300 runs a 9mm now and I love it. But, it’s definitely a personal preference and what fits your hand. The 10 definitely requires less throw so as long as you’re happy

Why not just adjust the clutch diaphragm disc as well. This is all I do with every KTM I've owned recently , and I have small hands.

Because on a 500 you need the extra pressure or the clutch will slip On my 300 I move to the lighter setting but on a 500 it doesn’t work I also do the clutch master along with adjusting the disc pressure as well
