When adjusting the clutch, it's important to consider the type of terrain the child will be riding on, whether it's soft sand or hard ground. I have mine set to 11 clicks (2023 TC50), but in Hungary, there are many deep sandy race tracks.
So that means: The softer the adjustment is, the earlier it slips (less power) and more heat occours? Just got a used SX50 for my son which is on 6, but thats still way too aggressive, i'd like to start at 4.
Yes, the lower the setting, the less power that is transferred. But yes that also means more heat and damage. As you move up, the power kicks in with less throttle, less heat. But I change the trans oil every ride!
Super helpful I appreciate the post I was wondering does either adjustment why do you take it up or whether you take it down make it harder at all on the clutch or make the clutch burn up any faster?
Hello, greetings from Nayarit Mexico, sorry, can you help me, my son's 2013 KTM50 runs a little slowly during his training and gets very hot, it leaks antifreeze through the radiator cap, once it's rolling hard, it doesn't, but it stops for a while. little and that happens, it could be a problem 😵💫
Personally, I just kept it at stock settings and it still continues to be good for my 8 year old. He'll be getting a 65 soon, but we've had no issues with the bike. We change the transmission oil every 2 hours (it may seem overkill, but you have to keep the fluid fresh).
It's not "bad" but it does create more disc slippage, lower power, but creates more heat. I change the gear oil on this bike every ride. Just had it rebuilt and mechanic said they still looked okay! Just a recommendation.
Yes it's "safe". But the more slip, the more heat. I have changed the gear oil every ride. Just had it rebuilt and my mechanic said they still looked okay. Just a recommendation!
@@g2motocross330sorry I'm no mechanic but basically what your doing here is adjusting the bikes power/ speed on the automatic clutch so the bike or more or less aggressive when the throttle is pulled ? Are u fully changing the oil in the bike after every 2hrs riding why is that ? Sounds costly
There could be many reasons, first would be to check out your clutch plates as it sounds like you may have an issue not involving the "clicks" and setup.
I’m a newbe hear but if I went to 9 then 14 should the back wheel still feel like it’s dragging when it is turned off and it’s hard to start unless it’s on a stand brought it 2nd hand Does that mean clutch is stuffed Thanks Dean
They always feel like they’re dragging cold. You should start the bike on a stand (I use a milk crate) and let the bike start to allow the wheel to spin. It will spin a little always because of the internal clutch.
@@g2motocross330 thanks for getting back to me so Quick what if its just able to turn the engine over not like it’s direct u still feel it slipping I already have the clutch cover off now doing the water pump kit cause it ate the plastic one
Thank you for this vid , searched awhile before finding this and exactly its ehat need to understand was shared and explained. Cheers

9 is vishes for a Lerner I've got mine set at 2ish and it's very plesant for a learner . A beginner.

Really informative!! Should make videos showing the difference out the gate

Question - Why use the torx bit when the bolts are also 8mm heads?
Good question Josh! I don't have a clue. I think I wanted to make the job harder as it's very easy to do lol

Great video thanks. For a beginner what would you recommend? What is the rpm range of the powerband?

Is turning the clicks all the way to the left to 1 bad for the bike?
It's not "bad" but it does create more disc slippage, lower power, but creates more heat. I change the gear oil on this bike every ride. Just had it rebuilt and mechanic said they still looked okay! Just a recommendation.
Bro what’s the best setting to start pls 4?
5 or 6 clicks is a good starting point. Go up as your rider gets used to the bike!
Is ot safe on the clutches to go down to say 5 clicks? My son is just getting into riding and im afraid to have it at 9 clicks.
Yes it's "safe". But the more slip, the more heat. I have changed the gear oil every ride. Just had it rebuilt and my mechanic said they still looked okay. Just a recommendation!

is 1 the fastest setting or is 9 faster?
The higher the number, the harder the hit and more power. It goes from standing still to full speed quick!
@@g2motocross330 thanks for your message. 🙏🏼 from the netherlands
Thanks for the video
Hi,how many clicks is the stock?
Factory settings is 9 clicks
@@g2motocross330 ok,thanks😎
Found your Channel... Hi guys 🖐😁
Heeeeyyyyy!!! Love your videos, keep them coming!! 🤘🏼
More click o less click is for aswer of the thottle?
More clicks = hits harder!
I did adjustment butt the bike didnt go god after why?

Any chance you would you know the starter point for the mixture screw setting
please and thank you for your time
