Just got back on a stroke. Rm125. Its so much more fun in the trails than my drz400e I dont race just rec ride

2 strokes never went away for us true mxers!

If every informative dirt bike video on KZread was this straight forward, simple, and well explained that would be awesome. This video is very “to the point” and there is no fancy editing or long intro, he’s just telling you what you need to no and nothing more and nothing less. I love it

@@hectors.6891 Which year/model bike? You will need to purchase (atleast) these 2 important things. 1. A oem manual for your bike. 2. A ratio rite cup used for mixing gas. The oil you mix in your gas is different from the clutch oil you will use. Brake fluid is also used and not the same as the other two mentioned. Check the coolant level and make sure the air filter is clean and lubed. Notoil is good.

Yes something very useful and different from usual things. I would appreciate some other video covering other areas. Well done. Long life to 2 stroke.

What's wrong with being a bro!? Brah!?

just got my 250 2 stroke back damn i forgot how much fun it was

Been riding a 2-Stroke since 99, always been where it’s at if you wanna have more fun riding

More videos like this one and the new ARC levers video!! Very very informative and keeps it to where we can do some of the work ourselves instead of taking it to a dealership or mechanic!! Love these kind of videos and this guy is very very knowledgeable!!!

Extremely good content. The way information is conveyed is excellent. Clear, concise explanation (s) like this are really appreciated (especially by someone like me who does not have a mechanical background). Please keep content like this coming. Thanks for posting.

Great video, I just got my first 2 stroke and this was very helpful 👍😁

Awesome presentation!! Nice job!

Great video. Great things to check and explained well and clear and good camera showing of where things are. Keep it up

Great video. Covered a lot of things I haven't seen elsewhere. Keep em coming. Keep us riding.

Cool vid. Good Maintenance videos are always helpful.

Thanks for the tips ! Great video.

Loved it, an great mechanic too

Awesome video too very straight forward and to it. Well done.

Awesome video 🔥very informative 😎I want a 2 stroke but have been deciding between a 150 Honda and 85 whatever. But everyone said 2 strokes were a pain. This made me realize it’s not. It’s simple. Especially the way you explained it. Great job brother. 💪🏽 now I’m definitely getting the RM-85 😎 keep up the good work and keep riding bro 💪🏽💯🔥

Great video really enjoyed it.

Great video & very well Communicated. Perhaps a ktm 2 stroke piston replacement video ?

1) Air/Oil ratio nice n rich 32:1 2) Run it rich 3) Make sure to mix the fuel in your tank if it sat for more than a day, prob hell to do for quad guys unless they drain the tank and mix in the gas can 4)NO ENGINE BRAKING (I feel like thats how a lot of people😅 blow engines) 5) Going down hill, pull in the clutch and rev the bike to cool the motor. Gas cools the motor and oil lubricates it

Good video thanks

Good info

thank you!

Thank you. Would balanced suspension be a good topic? Sag and fork height in clamps or suspension settings vs conditions- more /less rebound.... etc?? Thoughts..??

o cmon man, just 8 minutes of this?? cmon man!! make a long one!!! haha !! thanks for the amazing info!

Thanks

KTM 300'S rock truly a great 2 stroke. Troy from Kalgoorlie.

I just bought my first 2-stroke since 1999, I forgot how fun they are.

Nice video, so im new to dirt bikes. Ive rode harleys for yesrs but recently bought myself a 97 rm125 and i bought my son a four wheeler. I love to ride fast and hard but he doesnt, how can i ride with him without fouling plugs? I went through my carb tonight and found some issues im hoping this fixes it. I do have a stripped bolt on the reed cage but i used a seal all to cover it up good so i dont think im leaking there at all. The float height was was off on the bike or maybe i was reading it wrong. Ill know more tomorrow when i start it.

Thank you for the video, going to do the checks. My 2018 KTM XCW300 has 90 hours, did a top end rebuild last year at 70 hours, cause we were going to ride in the winter (snowbike) and didn't want any headaches. It ran beautifully in snowbike mode. Now after 2 summer rides bike does not start anymore. I cleaned the carb, checked the reed it looked healthy but i will look again. Last ride, it started and idled perfectly, after 15-20 minutes of riding, bike dies. i Wait a minute, bike starts then runs for less time, same pattern 10-20 times, then the bike dies and won't start. Fully charged battery, cleaned carb, bike no longer starts. Spark plug is 1 ride old. Battery was new, now one ride old had to recharge the new battery after ride. I will check for leaks as you mention and I'll look at the reed again. If you have any other suggestions would appreciate it. Did the compression test and after 10-15 kick starter attempts I am getting 190, so I assume the compression is fine. Need to check the reed valve...

Could you do a video where you explain how to exactly measure your oil to mix with your gassoline a friend of mine destroyed his cilinder when he completely openend the throttle and i dont want that to happen to me

Now I know how to take the fly wheel off. thanks

Buying my first 125 monday

I bought a box ktm 125 2 stroke does it already come with oil in the engine?

Really helpful video. Is this something you would encourage checking when looking at a bike before handing over the funds? Or is it a little bit too much? Thanks, thumbs up.

Great video. I have an ktm 250 sx from 2019. Do you have some tech tips or mods to make it run better? I would prefer an better throttle response and a wider rev range. Thanks

Well there fast they smell good and it’s better for Enduro than a 4 stroke

i really think you are wrong about the reeds. theres compression on cranc case when theyre not open so theres no matter if they have some gap when you checking them. ?

Just curious, this bike looks like it rolled of the showroom floor. Would be interesting to see these tests on a used bike. Maybe this bike gets ridden. But it looks brand new.

Gear fluid and transmission fluid are the same for a 2stroke. Brake fluid should all be dot 4 or higher on most bikes. 2 strokes do not have oil like a 4 stroke. It lubricates with mixing the oil and gas. Ie: 32:1 or 40:1 etc. Transmission fluid on a 2 stroke should be changed more frequently especially if you ride hard and a lot. If you bike has oil injection, you don't need to use pre mixed gas. Just add regular gas and make sure the oil tank has 2 stroke oil in it and is topped up.

👌🏽Great video One thumbs down by a 4-stroke lover

I love KTM’s but not putting seal on outside is a piss take

Watching this video cause I have a 1992 125 how did he know 😂

Never, ever rev a cold engine. Most of all wear on a 2 stroke happens when it is below operating temp. I have never checked a reed valve or crank seal unless rebuilding the engine. Compression testing can vary greatly upon elevation, gauges and techniques.

Just stay on the pipe! Jk. Thanks for video.

reed wear and crank seal leaks have nothing to do with compression issues. That's a horrible piece of advice to give, and a very good way to confuse people. If you have low compression on a 2 stroke, its due to worn piston/rings and/or cylinder bore wear. least likely is a head gasket leak. That's it.

I don't think he ever made a connection between compression and Reed wear or crank seal. You must have misunderstood something

Except those reeds came that way from the factory brand new and are not worn out. They are just crap built and poor quality control is the culprit.
