Thanks man!! It was my first time tearing into the bottom end of an engine. Definitely a learning experience and now I have the tools and a little confidence for later on when the crank will need to be rebuilt/replaced… hopefully much later on 🤞🏻😄
The Austrian bikes use an aluminum shift drum vs steel of all the other brands. Using aluminum for the shift drums is a horrible choice. They do this to try & save a little weight. These aluminum drums wear as the hard anodizing wears off & exposes the bare aluminum. This is the only reason I won't buy an Austrian bike. I wish an aftermarket company offered a steel drum.
I don’t blame you. When I changed out the faulty shift drum, the first thing I noticed was how light and cheap it felt. I wonder when they made this change? I used to have a 2008 KTM 250 EXC 2-stroke (I lived in Europe back then) and that bike was practically indestructible 😊 Thanks for watching!
@Eric Grieco Yeah, my buddy had a 2014 ktm 250sx & it developed shifting problems the same summer it was new. The shift drum was worn. It was a bummer because otherwise it was a really sweet bike. The fork performance wash also atrocious but once revalved, it was a great bike. We put a new drum in it & he sold it. He won't buy one again. I really, really want a 350 4stroke, but again, the drum has me completely turned off the bike.
I think locking lever with roller is in the wrong place factory manual shows it pushed all the way over to the right 3o clock yours was at 10 o clock when you go through the gears might be worth checking next time your in
Thanks for the comment. Not sure if we have the same factory manual, but in mine, diagram 18.6.16 shows the locking lever in the 10/11 o’clock position… in diagram 18.6.18 it shows it in the 3 o’clock position, but that’s with the shift star removed. For what it’s worth.. I have two rides on the bike after the rebuild and it’s shifting great 😊
