Good info. I did mine at 60h and cylinder was in spec. I pulled off the power valve flange, lots of gunk in there. Pulling the injectors will allow you to clean them. Just be careful of the o-ring between the injector and fuel line. They've been unavailable for the past 4 months.
My son just bought a 2023 TE150 used with about 60 hours .Do you have a technical (service) manual or did you download the one from Husqvarna.If you have the actual manual where did you get it. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and info.We are still in the lerning curve on the Husqvarna since this our first one.We have always had Honda , Yamaha and Kawasaki"s
Just the regular owners manual (download). I like to download them and keep them all on my phone so I can refer to them on the trail if needed. I've actually never found that I needed the service manual as the maintenance on these bikes is quite straight forward, and all the specs you need are either in the owners manual or available online. Maybe if I was splitting the cases I'd want one.
I’m wanting to trail ride in Michigan, nothing crazy. I’ve never ridden bikes before other than a pit bike and sport quads. Would this be a good bike for a beginner to learn on or would I be better off looking at a ttr230 or something similar?
A TTR will for sure be easier to ride, it's what I started on, and wish I stayed on it longer instead of getting a DRZ400. It's also MUCH cheaper. You're not marrying it, so get it, ride it a bunch, and get something else. There is nothing wrong with cycling through bikes as your skills/interests change, it's part of the fun. A lot of beginners search for their "forever" bike that they won't "outgrow" quickly, which puts them on a machine that's hard for them to actually enjoy. So they quit riding before they can actually do any growing to outgrow anything. Since you're in Michigan and it's the end of the season, I'd buy a TTR230 now, do some riding, and then if you want something different next year, you can easily sell it in the summer/spring.
I used the standard bore size A piston, didn’t measure it. Honestly RockyMountain only had one size option for a Vertex piston, and I wasn’t expecting much wear at 100 hours.
Hi, I'm Vito and I'm writing to you from Sicily, Italy. I bought your same new bike, it has been 4 months and has 20 hours of use. I'm not happy with the TPI system it's a very greasy oil blend. From your videos, I understand that you have not had any problems with the TPI??
I haven't had any issues, but it does run pretty heavy on oil, especially if ride at low RPMs a lot. I get a good amount of "spooge" out of the exhaust. My understanding is that there were some seizing issues with the earlier TPI models and all the newer ones run the "extreme" ECU map, which injects more oil.
Not really, but it should be priced accordingly. It also really depends on how it was maintained. A well maintained bike with 160 hours can be almost as good as new.
No really to be honest. I usually rebuild them around 100 hours and typically don't feel a massive difference. I feel like 100-120 hours on a modern two stroke that is trail ridden or raced by an average rider (i.e. not on the pipe for hours on end) is not enough to have wear significant enough to noticeably affect performance. I think replacing a smashed/dented pipe is way more noticeable.
Thank you, I have a 2022 150xcw with 81 hours and will probably wait until I hit 100 hours or so. I previously had a 2019 150xcw and replaced the top end with 80 hours and did not feel any difference at all. The exhaust packing made a noticeable difference with the 19. Thanks again.
@@mgrill9003 if in doubt, it's pretty easy to pull the pipe off and look in through the exhaust port while moving the piston up and down with the kick starter. It's not fool proof, but when you see it looking nearly brand new in there it's a bit of extra piece of mind.

You do great videos thank you im glad i found your channel
Thanks! I try to make content that's useful not just entertaining :)
Did you put a new a piston size A or b at 100h ? Did you measured it ? Doing mine at 60h next month before installing my tsp kit so just curious.

@@DmitriyAdv Thank you for your reply. Have a nice day
@@DmitriyAdvcan you map earlier models to Extreme?
@@yamahajawa7083 I believe you can have the dealer install the latest map on your bike. I have not had that done personally, however.
I’m looking to buy one of these bikes used is 160 hours alot

Hi.
100 hours how many km or miles by and large?
A little over 1000 miles I think. A lot of my riding is slow and technical. Sometimes I’ll literally spend a couple hours without leaving 1st gear 😅
Did you notice any difference in power after the rebuild?
No really to be honest. I usually rebuild them around 100 hours and typically don't feel a massive difference.
