a good check over of the bike pretty thorough a lot of places just change the oil and filter for first service on bikes.

[@gmmotomedia]

That's interesting, checks should be carried over during the first service also 👌

[@93ChayZ]

Good Dealer ships should check everything. Honestly I feel like I would leave a conspicuous unimportant bolt slightly out of torque spec just to see if the dealer catch’s it as part of the full INSPECTION.

[@MacMillanDAN]

Can't wait to see the 15.000km / 2 year service!

[@RobertTuros]

Yep, and see the camshafts 😅

What do you mean?

Awesome work! Very professional. I wish I had all that knowledge.

[@shmod97]

Thanks for this, would you do a video showing the 1st and 2nd year services as well?

[@gmmotomedia]

Absolutely!

[@billysantiago1251]

Can you make a vid on changing the spark plugs? Great Vid BTW!

[@paultaylorduke]

Should do the valve clearance check and the controversial camshaft lobe wear inspection, once the bike has more mileage.

[@93ChayZ]

THE. WHAT. 🙂‍↕️🥲

[@roddyw.7388]

Why?..Never ever had to do that on a KTM..Owned over 20 of them..

[@paultaylorduke]

@@93ChayZ Search it up, it's an issue with the LC8 (790/890 engine)

[@paultaylorduke]

@@roddyw.7388 have you owned a 790/890? they have camshaft wear issues.

[@paultaylorduke]

​@@roddyw.7388 Have you owned a 790 or 890?
Google Search KTM failed camshafts.

[@michaelcrouch5708]

Great video, love workshop stuff, 390 owner and I work in the trade too.

[@gmmotomedia]

Thanks! Looking to do more 👌

[@locorc9989]

Are all the checks done on later services as well? Torque checks and so on?
A lot think a service is just and oil and filter change, nice little insight on what actually goes on in a service. 👍🏻😎

[@gmmotomedia]

KD Motorcycles just confirmed they actually do! I'll make another video on my next service to find out 👍

[@93ChayZ]

I JUST brought home a 2024 790 Duke last night, was so relieved the Valve Clearance Inspection isn’t due at 620 miles instead it’s due to be checked at 18.6k LOL 🤣, that inspection and all the other first stuff cost me over 400$ 💀
My dealership told me my warranty is void if I don’t bring it back for it’s first service. 🤣 this true?? 💀😑🙂‍↕️
I am mechaniclly capable I can check and do everything this guy is doing in this video, I feel like bringing it for it’s only one first service at 620 Miles would be good since usually if their is something wrong like a leak etc it’s going to happen in the first 500 miles.

[@jongreen9113]

Good video thanks. Also would like to see the chain tension done as the KTM advised method (distance from swing arm) is different to most bikes and the swing arm on the 2023 model is not the same as the one in the owners book!

[@gmmotomedia]

Thanks! I'll make a note and see if KD guys can show me that on a 790 duke

[@roddyw.7388]

Sorry I would not use grease on those gaskets..Bad idea..Just coat it with fresh oil..

[@korey6729]

Nicely done.

[@roddyw.7388]

Personally go thru every single bolt,and nut on the bike after its warmed up.Especially when its new.Owned many KTMs...Never ever had a leak or problem ever.If you own bikes..Take care of them..Dont bitch if theres problems you could have prevented..Good video except for a few things.

[@Gl_uk]

First service. Point 1: replace the camshafts

[@queenslander954]

Better do the cam lobes.
