- Displaying how simple it is to do an oil change at home. Why take it to the dealership and pay stealership prices.When this is something you can do in your back yard your garage or driveway in under 20 minutes.
Great video SBSC. Very helpful for when I do my own oil changes on my 2019 1290 SD GT coming in April. Great detail, and well done. Yes, use gloves folks. Yes, change oil seals on oil filter cap, and both oil plugs, every time. For the cost/benefit, even if they look fine, change them just to make sure you have a perfect seal with fresh units. Yes, a little clean oil on the new seals helps to ensure they do not bind when being installed and that they seal best. Yes, pre-soaking/loading oil filters is recommended in many cases as it allows the oil pressure to build more quickly, minimizing potential seconds of dry running at start up. Keep in mind that most engine wear can occur at start up, and is one of the main benefits of synthetic oil, where it "sticks" to the top end better than non synthetic.
Regarding the choice of oil, drifting from OEM recommended oil may lead to warranty coverage issues, though if oil manufacturers specs meet or exceed the OEM, one can expect the engine to be safe and sound, and difficult for bike warranties to be voided legally. Always confirm with your dealer, and their manufacturers regional representatives, and get a statement in writing whether non OEM oil will impact warranty. Most will likely state that as long as oil meets or exceeds OEM, warranty will be fine. Others that don't, then you know you have to stay with OEM oil (regardless of whether fair or not).
Great video, and no apologies for my detailed rant...it is what I do. :)
Damn you got the 2019 model? I just ordered mine 2 weeks ago 2020 1290R ,I wanted the orange and dark blue model, they "Mission Cycle" said they found one over week ago, so naturally it didn't go through. Salesman told me that should be ready pick up this Thursday or Friday. Since this bike shop is over 1.5 hour's away on highway from my home, I either got take back roads properly break it in. Going at constant speed , don't think good way break it in. Delivery told me $300. looks like once I purchase the bike from them I won't be seeing them again. I can see first service costing me much more with them, also I bitched about jug motorex costing $159. you must use it or warranty is void if you get engine issue. Changing oil once I hit about 150 miles, that's where all metal shaving begin. Hope your happy with 2019,cheers🇨🇦
Very clear and to the point thanks. even looking at the manual i did not see what the oil level should be (it refers to mark A, B, C but does not refer to the small notches) this really helped.
Thank you for taking the time to make this "how to " video, I really appreciate it!!
Love the no nonsense...no bullshit video.
John Cadman thanks
Great video simple, quick, straight to the point. I’ve always run Mobil 1 in all my dirt bikes, street bikes, cars, lawnmowers, UTV…basically anything with an engine. I do however run Castro GTX in my 05 CRF 450 crank case but Mobil 1 in the motor. Amsoil is great stuff just not as easy and convenient to find like Mobil 1.
Best oil change video on a 1290.. good shit my brother.
Thank you sir! Now i know how to do change oil on my bike ktm1290r!
Your right I just purchased the 2020 1290R ,still waiting for the orange version I want, now going on the second week! The oil that they sell what is so special about it? KTM kiss the money good bye for me. Going do my first oil change when I get her home about 100+ miles. That's when you have all metal shaving. Good video, to the point. Cheers from Ajax, I heard you say Canadian buying it at Mission Cycle, and I live 5 kilometers from Gp bikes, sold out.
Thanks for including the torque specs for the bolts. Great vid. Liked and subscribed.
Thanks. Clear and concise. Well done for doing it with crutches too. (y)
Although I do own a Superduke GT I do miss the simplicity of the Japanese oil changes where it's just mainly one drain plug and one screw on full-flow oil filter. No messing around with cleaning secondary filters and cartridge primary filters.
You can´t compare the size of a 4 cylinders and 2 cylinders, small block you have to put everything together as you can, drain, filter and magnet, i prefer this system, more clever and thinking on the engine durability.
Good job on the video. I use Amsoil too but my choice of oil filter is K & N.
The Bike sounds sooo powerful!
Here in Europe is hard to find those oils . Also Mobil 1 is dropped down from a couple years . I was with Motul but thing that Motorex is way better for the 1290 engine . So I run the Motorex power synt 10W50 MA2 and I have almost 40.000 km in the dash 🙏👍
Thank you for your time and video...
Hey mate, thanks for the video. I'm not saying your doing anything wrong, but i have been told to soak the filter in oil before you put it back in!!! But thinking about it once you put oil in the case it's going to get a good soaking!!
The manual doesn't say to do that, but I can't see it causing any harm.
@@CanadianBigGameThat's right it doesn't. That's why it is unecessary. But it also says to use Motoroex. That's why you should use it. Everything should be followed as per the owner's manual. You shouldn't be picking and choosing what things you think are correct.
@@crushitwithchris5937 Of course the manual says you should use Motorex, it's a partnership deal with KTM. Doesn't mean other brands will not do the job. Do you seriously believe all that marketing crap ??
I don't own one but this is a awesome video anyways
Awesome job man, thank you!
Very welcome
thanks for the vid, love the foil trick.
Cheers mate.. saved me some research!
hey man... perfect video, not to vague, not too long...exactly all the details needed to do the job. Perfect.
Thank you Sir! Hope the leg gets better.... I missed the 600 mile service on my '17 1290 Super Duke GT due to bad timing
to a moto road trip; couldn't get the bike in for service...ooops. Now I'm way over, gonna do the change myself, then
take it in for the service to have other stuff and the computer reset, hopefully not void my warranty.
I heard these motors really like an extended break in period, so 1200 miles on the break in oil, though not ideal,
isn't my big concern but voiding the warranty...hmm. But I should've done the oil change before the trip anyway.
Water under bridge now...hopefully not too much metal in the oil.
Was gonna buy the motorex oil too, but you say Amsoil is much better, and cheaper...I always here good comments
on Amsoil, but if I don't use Motorex, concerned about warranty for that as well, if they ask for my proof of KTM approved
parts for my self service, prior to visit.
Much appreciate you effort to put out an informative video. I watched a service shop video, promoting their great service
while doing a 1290 R, and their video wasn't as clear or visible as yours, and they didn't mention the torque specs, etc...
Nice Job brother!
Cheers
Always change oil around 150 miles, you can actually see metal shaving's. My opinion of working on bikes since late 1970s. Old timer showed me this.
Good video mate thanks 👍🏻
I'll be using Amsoil next time. Just did my 15 and its so expensive here in Australia. My filter kit didn't even come with an o- ring, We get the scraps down here lol
That sucks, hopefully you can order online and get what you need next time.
Thank you so much for sharing this video. I am so sorry for your injury, I hope you get better soon. I like the part that you did it just for sharing information and not to make money. Anyway, I am planning on buying one but a little bit concerned about the maintenance. Will it void the warranty if I do my own maintenance like oil change and stuff? What is the other regular maintenance I need to do on this bike? And when is the valve check on this bike?
It's different in different countries. Here in Canada we are allowed to do Preventitive maintenance without voiding Warrenty. Without checking thr manual. For valves most bikes are around 30m km's.
Brit asking. As a Canadian why are you using "pints" is that BS USA 16 fl oz pints or the rest of the world imperial 20 fl oz pints? Just asking? Better still, it's a euro bike so use litres?
Thank you super informative video, i really appreciate
I’m pretty sure those oil plugs have magnets hidden in the centre of the barrels. (Rc8r does)
Should blast them off with brake cleaner
Nice video! Thanks!
Helpful video, thanks. I have one question? Might be a dumb question.... Manual say just to stand the bike upright to check oil level but that’s not convenient. So if my bike is on the level, on a paddock stand then the 3rd marker down is the correct level it should be at? Thanks.
Correct
I recently changed my oil on my KTM 1290 the oil level is perfect but it's showing low oil warning on the digital display but the red oil light doesn't come on
Great video, thanks. Do have one question -- if reusing the oil screens, KTM says to "clean them?" Clean em using what? Kerosene, soapy water, special $500 KTM oil screen filter cleaning fluid? ;)
I usually put them in an ultrasonic bath.
The items you mentioned are fine - I use hot water and dish soap - then either dry by air blower or Brake Kleen type spray. My ultrasonic bath is broken ... oh no wait a minute, don't have!
Brake cleaner/Toothbrush/ Compressed air
my duke had oil leaking from the gaskets, can you do a vid on how to stop KTMs leaking oil?
Where was it leaking from the oil filter gaskets?
Which Duke?
@@ross5506 2016 SD
Nice bro
How'd the amsoil 10-50 dirt bike oil work out? I just changed the oil in my 2015 with the same
Thank you for the vid. I will use motorex. Costs me 55€/4L. Think thats ok.
In Canada $159. Plus . 13% taxes and $5.00 environmental fees. Robbery! Motorex.
KTM - Keep Taking Money
Kiss the money, good bye lol
Good
The ktm manual says to check the oil while it's on the kickstand
It was for the video and being on crutches to make it easier. In the comments below I mentioned that.
@@CanadianBigGame
Right on I haven't had mine but for a month now so I was really trying to make sure I was doing my oil changes right
Will it do any damage to engine or seals if you over fill oil to the top level?
If you overfill it massively, yes it can mess up alot of stuff. If you overfill it slightly it will just come out the blow by valve
Definitely should have added a bit more oil. Somewhere in between the first and second mark is where it should be. I have a second gen so i dunno maybe its different on the first gen. 🤷🏼♂️
Are you using a rear wheel stand while measuring the oil level?
BHFanatICosZ I hope not
Just for the video
You’re supposed to take the measurement while the bike is on the kick stand
gonzotopia1 it was for the video read the comment above
StrawBerryShortCake I know, was responding to the original comment
What did you use to torque the bolts for both the oil filter screws and the drain plug screws? Thanks
Not sure I understand the question properly. I used a torque wrench.
I meant what brand. There are a lot of different brands but it'll be first time buying one so I want to get one thats not shit and gonna last. Thanks
@@frogsoup01 stay away from princess auto or harbor freight. My general rule of thumb for tools is buy the best you can afford. I'm an aircraft mechanic so my tools are stupid expensive. You dont need to buy that kind of quality like blue point or snap on. But if you can afford it the warranty is great.
Awesome. Thanks for the info. Take care
Why Ansoil over Swiss made Motorex..?
FYI: Mobil 1 - Mobil is the only oil company and brand that I know that has been involved in the research, development, manufacture and marketing of synthetic base stock and synthetic oils since the 1960’s to this day.
They actually make all the different types of base stocks covering Group I, II, III, IV & V from Conventional Mineral to Synthetic.
I believe the Mobil 1 family is the best synthetic oil as this is what Mobil have been doing for over 40 years - sort of “homegrown” synthetic engine oil!
Motorex is way over priced here in Canada costing over 120 dollars for 4 liters. I get a amsoil for cost so for the price vs quality it's the best quality oil I can get for a great price.
would you use the same oil for the 1290 superadventure ?
Yes
Thanks for the tuto! what is the brand of your thank pads?
techspec tank pads
@@CanadianBigGame thanks !
Motorex?
How much motual oil in your countrey
Are trying say Motul? 300V fully synthetic 4liters $90. Canadian and $5.00 environmental fees. and . 13% sales taxes. Robbery! 🇨🇦
What happen to ur leg
Dirt bike accident. Tore my acl,pcl,mcl, tore an artery. Dislocated my knee my hip and broken hip. It was a good time.
Hey guy! Use gloves.
Not everyone is a pussy and scared of oil.
We all got die sometime.
@@10fantic Real men don't use gloves, lol.
lol...ktm mean "kost tons of money"
Kiss the money, goodbye.
This video only guaranteed the fact that I would never buy a KTM! Lol!
Me too. I make fun of my friend who owns this bike all the time. It costs so much to maintain.
“I’ve been a mechanic for 10 years” Doesn’t know that any metal shavings are going to be on the inside of the filter and it must be cut open to see them 🙈
On a car filter yes. These are different
