My ktm 250 sxf gets warm and then the clutch just won’t do anything, I’m not sure if that’s what’s being explained as I’m quite novice but I’m trying to learn and fix my bike so I’m doing research. Basically I can ride it and the clutch it like kinda spongy, but once it heats up I will pull it in shift to 1st and like hear it shift, but when I let go and give it throttle nothing happens. The first time it happened my friend just said shift it too second so I did and it went to second and I drove it back the our truck just to get it there, but after that it would do the same thing when I would shift to any gear, then when I got home and it was cooled I just started it and shifter too first and it worked just fine. The next time it happened it didn’t shift to any gear and I had to go grab it from the desert. Sorry for such a long comment, and a pre thank you for anyone that responds time!

No issues with the clutch slipping due to added forces trying to disengage the clutch while the lever is in its resting position?

Thanks

Greatings from Portugal 🇵🇹 O have the dam problema with my 300 exc… If i use 2 oem washes, wil it work ?

I had this happen to me via 3-rd steel plate from the inside of the pack deforming and making it into spring not unlike the pressure plate spring. Essentially it would defeat any input from the rider's hand. Very annoying. I ended up swapping all steel plates for a new set. Problem solved.

piston hitting crank high rpm. ktm's problem but u get to pay for it. ktm is not whatvthey once was

How much drone is there in the cab?

That is exactly the problem I had. Thanks so much it works great now ❤❤

If you pay attention you'll notice when the bike is nice and hot and ready to ride the clutch won't drag as much. Its The fluid that causes this. All the bikes are this way. I have yet to see someone warm their bike up properly. Instead they will ride it cold then blame the bike.

I had a brand new rekluse torque core drive manual clutch installed by the ktm dealer and it drags. Its kindof hard to start any gear besides neutral. Im going to try this to get it to disengage more with out the lever being pulled so tight against the handle bars

I have the same issue with mine. Done 13 hours. Looks like the piston ring caught the power valve. Looks like yours also caught the ring?

Nice video! I'm surprised to see that much dirt left in those containers!

What is that red wire wrapped around the coil lead? I have it on my 2010 but it leads to nothing

How much valve lift

Was it a huge pain in the ass to get the gauge down in the hole?

Oh that’s just lovely. Just bought a new 24 250sx. Swear If this happens that early I’m gonna lose it!!

manufacturer error or lack of maintenance I wonder?

Dang

Great advise, does the rod come out clutch or slave side?

What is so sad about this whole story, is that if they would have recognized the problem and paid to get the head back and installed proper exhaust valves and made this right for you, your video might be about praising this great company and then they would get more business. It would be free advertising for them.

Good video i usually get my h2ads feom AutoZone they come with a warranty i got some ford 5.4 heads and 8ne broke a camshaft so i took it back to AutoZone and got full refund ran great for about 3 weeis and the the camshaft broke and took out yhe entire head

Ola. Acha que posso tentar com duas anilhas oem de 1 mm? Em vez de 1,9mm com 2 mm ficaria bom tambem?

How do you get the pushrod out? Do you have to unscrew the throwout bearing on the clutch side, or can you just pull it out slave cyllinder side without removing the clutch cover?

BTW, I have hearing problems and could not hear you talking. I turned on closed caption. You may want to increase your volume. People with good hearing can turn it down. I turned everything up as much as I can. Thanks.

Thanks. I am having the same problem. I had a similar problem on an outboard engine. The ground wire was not tight and the engine would run fine awhile and cut out when bouncing across the lake. I had forgotten that. I will check the ground on my golf cart.

*PromoSM* 👀

Pretty much what I did too. And dang what a pain trying to wedge that lower plate in there

wtf. That’s awful.

What’s your thoughts on that head? Worth it?

People over think this. It’s 3 Super easy steps. . Remove engine. Replace spark plug. Reinstall engine. Super easy

You racing in 2024?

Where I come from that's called a shank

Stand over the front fender, left hand pumps and holds the brake, right hand breaks the bleeder, repeat 🤙🏼

How do you know how thick of a washer you need?

coming from experience.... tilt your engine! I removed the connector as per the video and the rubber cracked from the inside and I got a misfire from the spark jumping through the crack to the engine instead of the spark plug

The valves should be resurfaced when doing a complete valve job, just part of the process. If not resurfaced the exhaust valve will damage the exhaust seat. The 3 angle valve job refers to the valve seat not the valve. Always beware when the seller says something like "valve guides & seats replaced when necessary" because there will never be a situation that requires it. That company/ individual is just taking a salvage yard head, cleaning it up a bit then reselling the used unit as a rebuilt head. Con artist & a crook.

How has this worked out? The in tank filter has never looked damaged, split or cracked. Even AFTER seeing where it is leaking I cannot see any visual sign. Are you SURE you had a bad pump? Also, I was concerned that the filter does filter out the residue from the carbon brushes and you will have a failed relief valve - have you had any issues?

Hello there, can i use this video on my channel? Any comment? Thankss

Curious is it reliable?

hey man. how did u remove the check engine?

Doesn't that mean you're taking pressure of off the clutch?

Thanks for putting this up, ima try this tomorrow 🤙🏽

I’ve had 2 of these bikes and I’ve always wondered why the clutch would drag so much. Thanks for the vid.

Rubberband

I would've been nervous too! Happened to me after a rebuild, ended up being a clogged pickup tube.

Hey where does that go on the engine man I’m putting one together and can’t find where that rod goes

file a complaint with BBB and let them know later on that you have not got a resolution. other people that check with the BBB before buying will know about your problem.

texas companies are the worst even with solar i have problems

wonder what the seats in the heads looked like? that's where the three angles are going to be, and those valves should all look almost like new if properly refurbished.
