Thank you my friend, i am collecting my rc8 next week, had an rc8r 2009 , 7 years ago but was sadly stolen in Manchester UK. Im picking up a non r as the Rs are getting rarer and very expensive to pick up here in the UK. Ive jumped in quick after hearing the struggles ktm are having financially and in case the prices go even higher. Ill watch your videos as im clueless on any of the servicing hahaha. Respect and ride safe from the UK
Cool. Couple of tips for others: Tie the lever closed when disconnecting line- no fluid can escape the hose as you work. Also, when connecting hose, get the crush washers kind of tight, squeeze some fluid (trapped air) thru the washer/ fitting assembly then torque it to spec. Once finished, tie the lever half closed to allow any air to surface over time. All this is most important with (good) brakes. Ordered my Oberon, just prepping. Thanks!
So I just recently my clutch lever action stopped moving, I replaced the slave cylender as well but that wasn't the problem. The nut that is behind the plate that holds the springs down in the clutch housing was loose. Once I tighted it down the clutch work again. The loose nut caused the entire clutch basket to move out of reach of the clutch shaft so the springs could not push back on the slave cylinder.
@@ignorantcustomgarage5171 ya I had never been in the clutch housing for any reason this was the first time I had messed with it. I noticed it when my finger barley touched it and it moved. Do you know what to torque value is supposed to be on that nut?
dude the brake fluid is very bad for painted surfaces so you might consider putting a plastic tube on leading valve the next time ... if it ends up in your eye you gonna kiss goodbye to it so wear glasses at list
You tight the bleeding screw so hard every time 😥 You should bleed from the bottom, with a serynge, to push up the bubbles into the fluid tank. Then the fluid level is 4mm to the top. Have a safe ride.
Yup, the reverse bleed is actually a preferred method but I didn't have the required tools. Maybe you should make a video and show the people how you do it.

Really useful vid... was thinking of getting one of these Oberon’s for my Rc8r. Cheers m8 👊

That ended up being my problem, the hub nut backed off. Guess it's common on these bikes

@@adriandelgado1618 been a while but off the top of my head it was 77 or 78 I think. Plus loctite
Nice video man.. keep it up!
Now you can go Braaaaaaaaaaaap!!!!! Great vid
Hi. Did it make the clutch any easier on the lever?
I didn't notice a huge difference.
Nice Video! Next is Quick sifter install please!!
lol the bike already has a slipper clutch, so for my purposes a quick shifter isn't worth the kost
@@ignorantcustomgarage5171 lol thanks man! I lost this bike in an accident... I envy you!!!
10Nm sir for the slave.

KTM uses mineral oil which is more akin to baby oil. I understand your confusion as the majority of bikes use a type of brake fluid. The KTM does not.
@@ignorantcustomgarage5171 They switched to dot 4-5.1 while ago and that's why I freaked out :D if your's on mineral oil all is good ...
