Just sent our son’s 2020 KTM 65 into the local KTM shop for a clutch issue and they identified that it also had a broken power valve that had become so damaged that the cylinder needs replacing. They also said the cylinder and the parts for the top end rebuild are on back order until December 2021 🤷🏻♂️. Glad they found the issue but not thrilled that my son is potentially going to miss half the riding season…
Us chrome can fix any problems with your cylinder and it will have a stronger plating w/ better oil retention. Also the water pump impeller is plastic and comes apart it should be inspected regularly (visually or black floating particles in the radiator fluid)
Is piston replacement possible without removing the cilinder head? Is there enough space between engine and frame? I know it is not the right method for piston replacement.
Yes there is enough room. In a pinch I did a top end at the track and was able to remove the cylinder by removing the spark plug and coil to allow enough room.
i need to know if the 65sx complete motor on ebay is LegiT or not they only asking 520 free ship im like huhhhhh oh yea mountain bike fat tire build No?????
I used this video to rebuild my first top end and it went great. Bike is running stronger than ever!
Great vid Charles makes life so easy looking after these bikes.
Great video!!! Very easy to follow along for someone who hasn’t done it before
Glad we could help out. Thanks for watching.

This 65 is an 07 and has a big bore kit in it
You can get a service manual straight from KTM's website. www.ktm.com/en-us.html
Could you list your tools used in video thanks
What’s the black brush made of that you are cleaning the cylinder with. And dimentions please.

Just did mine!! Thanks for the help!!!
Awesome! Glad the video helped!
It’s safe to use a ball hone on a nikasil cylinder?
Hi, could you tell me the ring end gap measurements,min-max for husky tc 65 for vertex piston.
Just purchased a used 65sx with no hour meter. What psi reading should I expect to get for good compression when testing?
Your psi should be around 150psi
Thanks!

Either one is a good option. I'd just get the new parts installed and call it good! -Charles
Hi I have a ktm65sx 09 when I'm trying to start it keeps on blowing coolant hoses and will not start
It sounds like you might have a bad head gasket. You could be having compression pushed back into the coolant system making those hoses pop off.
@@rmatvmc fix by changing the head gaskets and o rings

It's a pretty common is on these. lts probably not coolant and just water from washing/riding. Change the fluid often. Its cheap and easy maintenance!
hello, i need a link on where to replacement parts
The first link in the video description will take you to a page with the parts and tools you need to get the job done.

It’s super easy to remove it

Thanks super video
So helpful
🔥💯🛵🏁✊
A 65 with a power valve that’s definitely weird
All modern racing 2 strokes have power valves
