They are widely available online. Not sure about your preferred shop/location. Try googling "threaded bar end inserts"

Yes, I live in Tokyo. Please send me a message here and we can organize a ride: tokyooffroad.com/contact/

Yes, you can use ERM to monitor the engine RPM while adjusting the idle with the throttle body idle adjuster

LOL

All the torque wrenches I use are Tohnichi QL-MH series (all metal construction). For 8Nm I use either the QL10N-MH (2~10Nm), or QL25N-MH (5~25Nm) QL10N-MH: www.tohnichi.com/product/ql10n-mh/ QL25N-MH: www.tohnichi.com/product/ql25n-mh/

@@TokyoOffroad Thank you!

Yes, I get some spooge with the oil injection deleted and using premix (60:1 High octane pump gasoline and Motorex Crosspower 2T). I made a video which shows how much: czcams.com/video/ea7KRkiSqlI/video.html

The bleed technique is the same for both sides. However, they will feel different even when fully bled.

Pleased to hear that you found it useful.

Yes, it's a great area. It was the first time for a race to be held on this land. Will be back next year for sure...

Hi there! Hope you enjoyed the video.

Pleased to hear that you found the video useful and that your bike is running well again 🙂

Hope he's OK!

Pleased to hear that you found the video useful. I've only replaced the ignition side seal while overhaul the bottom, with the cases split and crankshaft out. In the future, if I do replace it while assembled I'll be sure to make a video...

Originally I pronounced it nipex . Then a German friend of mine told me it's pronounced k-nipex. But it appears that the pronunciation used by company employees in Germany is k-neepex: czcams.com/video/0ElThr0GNd4/video.htmlsi=ZojKd_k9YSOYWHsG Not very intuitive! LOL

If you unplug the oil level indicator dash LED and start the engine the ECU will throw a engine blink code. Yes, I taped over the lens of the oil level indicator LED and secured it away out of sight so it's not I annoying.

Thank you. Does the engine blink code make it so you can’t ride until you reset it? Was wanting to do the same thing with the cable you did and tuck it out if the way so it doesn’t blink constantly at me.

@@johnh5088 the bike can still be ridden with the engine blink code. To reset the engine blink code you’ll need to take it to your dealer, unless you have a tool (Eg TSP ERM)

@@TokyoOffroad Ty!! Bout to snag an erm so works perfectly.

Thanks. I'm pleased with how the bike is running with the TSP map. One thing to note is that I did update the map recently to a slightly richer baseline map (TSP Map version 3BE-24-J). The green map, which I use most of the time, is a higher power and leaner tune. The white map is richer and I use it when conditions are slick, or difficult to get traction. I don't get any over lean indicators when using the the green map. The beauty of having the TSP ERM tool is you can fine tune the fueling, ignition and PV to your liking if you you're not happy with the provided base map. Several different versions of the base maps are also available which differ in fueling.

@@TokyoOffroad Nice to have options, that's for sure! I wasn't 100% positive on the lean condition, just swear I head a slight hanging idle a few times is all.

let us know how many hours you get out of a top end

@@twostroker56 126 hours on the piston but it doesnt need replacing. Rings have 1mm of end gap so needs new rings. 343 hours on the crank.

15Nm for the axle pinch bolts

For me, with oil injection deleted, it's one less thing to worry about and I prefer the simplicity of running premix. But I know some people don't like mixing gas. Good to have choices...

For TPI bikes, if the battery is completely dead, my testing showed that kick starting will only be reliable if a BLS Capacitor and 9V PreCharge used. For hill/bump starting with a dead battery only the BLS Capacitor is required for the engine to start and run.

Yes, the humidity was very high. Was nice to cruise along and get a breeze during the section transit areas.

Thanks and pleased that you enjoy the videos

Yes, Shinko 540DC 120/100-18 with Tubliss at about 2psi. Traction was very good

@@TokyoOffroad I thought so 👍. Wish we could get those in the states, I would love to see how it does here in the PNW.

@@marcusm.3486 I think it would do well in the PNW terrain. Not sure why it's not imported in to the US

Yes, high octane pump gasoline and Motorex Crosspower 2T at 60:1

@@TokyoOffroad oh, well thats what the manual calls for isnt it? Spooge accumulation is just the result of how you ride unless bike is running wrong which it probably isnt ... kind of silly to compare it between different riders and terrain. I can go on a 50 mile ride and have none, or ride 10 miles and have some - that will be true for any two stroke that runs correctly.

@@constantink3721 - The two stroke oil and ratio can have quite a dramatic effect on spooge. With my bikes I’ve had good success (minimal cylinder and ring wear) running Motorex Crosspower 2T at 60:1, with minimal spooge. Note that I never tune by spooge, always by ride feel. Spooge is what it is after that and as you mentioned will vary depending on the type of riding and engine temp and rpm.

​@@TokyoOffroad the right mix again depends on your riding style, conditions and sometimes even how old the bike is so... the stock map goes from 50:1 to 100:1, tsp tune injects a little more. xc manual calls for 60:1 so you are just running stock KTM(and most other manufacturers) mix per manual - which is what most 2 strokes want under normal conditions. wasn't sure about the point of this but hey thanks for the video

The goal of this method was to be quick, easy and effective, without needing to disassemble anything. It works well in my experience. Is it the best method? It you have more time and don't mind taking off the front wheel, removing the fork tubes, loosening the triple clamps and aligning them, then reassembling everything you could say it's better, but the results will be similar and it'll take a lot longer.

Believe it or not, rotor is another name for flywheel. KTM call it the "rotor" in the repair manual and parts list.

The video series was intended to help guide people who are doing this for the first time. As such I talk through critical assembly steps and point out things to be careful of. Sorry you didn't find the video useful.

I recently made a long term review video of my 2024 KTM 300 EXC TBI here which may be of interest: czcams.com/video/QApI2A1MLvc/video.html
