    Came across your video following a search for bogging issues/flame out etc, especially when blipping the throttle. Found the sensor had both wires frayed, cleaned them up, reconnected the sensor, and the bike ran normal. Incredible to think the sensor affects mid range throttle response so much. Thanks!

    Assuming you are asking how to disconnect the connector from the sensor, It's a push and pull style connector. The grey part has a wing that you can push down with your finger or a screw driver and then when depressed fully the connector will pull off the sensor.

    There is a finger release on the female connector which must be pressed in fully to disconnect the two ends. Additionally, they are generally stiff so I would try to externally clean it and be gentle.

    You only change the piston ? Why not the cilinder ? Is it only piston rings that wear ? And is it not possible to change the piston if you let the motor in the frame,so only cilinder take off ?

  • @owensworkshop
    @owensworkshop Жыл бұрын

    Correct. Only change the Piston, rings, wrist pin bearing, and gaskets. The cylinder will wear and become larger in diameter, for this reason, KTM sells two sizes of pistons ( I and II). Piston II is to be installed when the bore diameter becomes larger (wears) and is between 54.012mm-54.025mm. I do change top ends while the engine is in the frame and I only remove the cylinder.

    I used a micro flathead screwdriver and carefully picked the connector crimps apart. Look in the comments, I think someone found that you can order the metal portion of the connector and gave a part number. You could also call WMR racing in Florida and ask them.

    What do you recommend measuring the base gasket with, also should I check the piston ring end gap at all?

  • @owensworkshop
    @owensworkshop2 жыл бұрын

    I use a digital caliper to measure the base gasket thickness. The proper and most precise way to set your gasket thickness or "deck height" is by using a decking gauge and preforming what is called "decking". I have never specifically checked the ring gap when doing a top end rebuild; however, I think it is a valid measurement to check. The piston ring gap tolerance is less than or equal to 0.40mm. The piston diameter tolerance is less than or equal to 0.010mm. I hope this helps!

    So I rejet my 19 TC125 to 0-1000 ft of elevation and 41-60 degrees, cause I’m always in between 0-1000 for elevation and 41-60 degrees, The manual said to adjust air screw to 2 turns out. Which I did. Then I rode it around and when I got back I pulled the plug to look for color and it was clear, I have been adjusting the air screw between 1.5 and 2 turns out, got a little coloration on the threads but barely any on the top, could this mean one the jets is too lean, which it shouldn’t be cause I followed the chart correct? Or is that normal? I’m just asking because I am afraid of the no color could mean lean correct?

    My gas tank has no gas in it, usually my bike would be kept in the garage for the winter, and it’s not heated so it’s cold. Iv had it out there in the cold for the past few days. And yesterday I moved it in the house for warmth, do I have to worry about any condensation and water occurring in the gas tank or anywhere in the engine?

  • @owensworkshop
    @owensworkshop2 жыл бұрын

    If your bike is in a climate controlled environment you should be fine. I don't know about water in the gas tank. You would need to check that in the spring. If it's a concern then put a tiny bit of gas in the tank, slosh it around, and then dispose of the gas.

    Would it be ok to drain the gas tank for the winter on my Tc125, should I drain the gas out of my carburetor as well. Also I run VP premix.Or would it be ok to let a little bit of gas sit in the float bowl?

  • @owensworkshop
    @owensworkshop2 жыл бұрын

    I agree and would drain the whole fuel system including the carb. Take a 17mm wrench and unscrew the nut in the bottom of the float bowl to drain the bowl. Hope this helps.

    I just asked cause I thought that there was a certain amount of hours you had to put on the new motor before rejecting

  • @owensworkshop
    @owensworkshop2 жыл бұрын

    When one gets a new bike they need to break in the engine when it is brand new which is around 1 hour. This does not have any impact on when one can jet their bike. I think that if you jet your bike now is a great time. FYI, the typical life span of a top end is 20hrs according to KTM but I stretched mine out to 30hrs.

  • @tmsedits3093
    @tmsedits30932 жыл бұрын

  • @owensworkshop
    @owensworkshop2 жыл бұрын

    One can reject their bike at anytime. I recommend doing jetting within the first half of the lifespan of the top end (piston) as the engine performance is always impacted by the condition of the piston.
