What's the best year 525, an what's some things I should look at when buying second hand? How many miles did these motors usually do before rebuild is needed
few things. sup from tiktok lol 1: black frame 100% 2: i'm curious if my bike had a bad bottom end too, it was making a lot of noise. and 3: love the high quality uploads with high framerates. you the real MVP
I think the black frame is the move🤟🏼 the 525s are notoriously loud, best way to tell is the oil, if you're getting any metal flakes. It definitely had a noticeable knock tho, listen close to the clip of it running in the beginning. Appreciate the love🤟🏼🤟🏼
Rocker cover comes out the left side. Gotta leave the one bolt in. The one the center frame rail won't allow out. Lift that bolt while lifting rocker cover and finagle it out left side. I've done it.
Hey travis like your video .wondering if you could help me. I bought a 03 525exc got about 50 miles lost compression sent cylinder and head to la sleeve to be resleeved they said it's a 450 cylinder bored to 99 can i put a 525 piston back on the bike if it's a 450 bottom end not a525. How can i find out what the bottom end is
Definitely! I really want to do a yz250 build! Ether a track bike or maybe stunt bike. Every dollar from merch supports the channel to grow and do bigger things💪🏽💪🏽
Hi, can you please tell me where the right side radiator breather pipe is inserted, which can be seen clearly from minute 6.00? My bike has a dedicated tank and I lose it constantly with some heated on the track and I don't understand why
Must be a aftermarket case. Thats not the original or even a powerparts from ktm themself so.. its.pretty rare i.guess , if u wanna sell the cover , just pm ;D
boring these 525’s out is not good there prone to crank bearing failure anyways and boring them out only makes it worse because harder on the crank. when your riding and hit a slick spot and then hit the main road and that back tire grabs it puts a shit ton of wear on those crank bearings. It’s an good idea to get these cranks welded...do some research and it will tell you
Valve cover does come off in frame my man done it a few times, nice video, I'm on my 3 rd ktm 525 and im 50 years old, be warned they are addictive.
Allright, then tell us how to do it?!
Seriously stop teasing

That’s not how you check the big end of the rod. Up and down is where you check, not side to side.
The music was chill lmao
Cracking head bolts should be in the strong man competition
Honestly though😂😂
Very Interested. Really enjoyed watching this maybe next time keep a little flashlight so it's easier for us to see some of the stuff your explaining.
Thank you! I have bought a spot light since this video, all the future videos will be brighter!
Orange for sure for sure I got a 5:25 with a black frame 07 I wish it was powder coated Orange
