I love that I have the same year bike as you now. It makes all of these videos direct tutorials for when I've got to do my own! I love how thorough you are and how you share your best practices. Thanks.
Hi there, thanks for the vid.. Being a bit of a tool geek, I went to some effort and got myself a Hozan P-221 (Japan to Aust via Nth America, :-)) on your recommendation, what a beautiful tool, thanks for the tip. Even though I will probably use this tool very rarely, I really enjoy having the RIGHT tool for the job when I go to do a job (much like my TOR ODT), and this tool is just perfect for this job, and no other.
Incredibly, my son’s KTM 85 SX engine continued to operate perfectly normal after the governor for the coolant impeller dropped three of its ball bearings down into the clutch case. I only discovered it during the last oil change when one ball bearing plopped into the oil drain pan and the other two were clinging to the magnet on the oil drain plug. The new part is $103 and is on order. I’ll do the engine’s third top end while it’s on the engine stand. Remarkable little engine.
Thank you! Your videos are always so useful. My manual says to remove the engine from the right side but clearly it's easier on the left side. So glad I have Tokyo Offroad youtube channel right next to the moto bench.
Awesome video as always :D cant w8 for the next part to see how the engine looks like. since my ktm exc 250 has about 430H and i plan on doing a bottem end at 500H.
Pleased that you enjoyed the video. Yes, Tokyo Offroad is my company. The tools I offer I designed (based on working on my own bikes) and manufacture myself.
Will you continue to own and ride this particular bike for the foreseeable future? I enjoy my 2015 and 2018 so much that I hope they last the rest of my riding years.
Yes, I love riding it and have no plan to sell it. I'll be putting a 300 kit on it during this rebuild. And I have another 2017 250 EXC with low hours (40H) which I purchased used and will ride as a 250 following some mods (RK Tek head, STIC/Keihin 38 carb, VForce reeds). I wanted to have both 250 and 300 so I'm able to test and tune using both...
@@TokyoOffroad Yeah I love Tekton for the $$$. Great channel. You remind me of my dad working, he is a retired machinist and very meticulous. Keep up the great work and keep the rubber side down!

Yes, the Hozan chain tool is very nicely made. Pleased you like your's (and the ODT tool :-) )

Going to be a great series. Your videos are always on point. I have about 350 hours on my bike and plan on doing this next year 👍
Awesome job! I love my 2017 250sx, but I can’t match those hours you put on that bike! That’s a big number!
These maintenance videos are brilliant , thanks for sharing your knowledge
Thanks for doing this. Makes me feel more comfortable working on my own bike.
Surgical precision job, your so organized
Greetings from Russia!!! Awesome job!!!

Love it great stuff can't wait for the next videos😉🤙
Good video. Is Tokyo off-road your company by chance?
Great idea using a lathe to create common punch tools used in dirtbike maintenance l

Great video as usual! That poor shift lever though !
Yes, the shift lever has seen some action! I've ordered a new one so it will be replaced...
damn, i have to do this. 1140 hours in the odo now
Yes, I think it's time. Great idea to overhaul while it's still working and hasn't failed. Just pick a convenient time and do it :-)
@@TokyoOffroad it just was overhauled, but it started to make noise. its a 2005 model
mate your Howto videos are amazing,great work!(they are better than the rides...hahaha).
Excellent tutorial

Nice instructional video. Will you be repairing the radiator or fitting a new one?
Thanks. I'll repair the radiator. I do have a spare, but the original one is not leaking, so I'll carefully knock it back into shape.
Thanks for part 1 vid - 👍
yes... I have exc300 sixdays 2017 !!
You're the best 👌
2020 not so bad afterall
So...tomorrow we'll get part 2? :D
(I got lots of popcorn left)
My plan is to upload one, or two parts per week...
Awesome
Yay!
No helper ? Where's Phil FFS
LOL. I clearly didn't train Max my dog properly, or he'd be helping me ;-)
TEKTON !!
Tekton tools? Please elaborate...

WOHOOOOO
456hrs Mint 👍🏻

Lol, you are removing the engine , but lazy to take the skid plate off while draining the oil
Not lazy, I use the Tokyo Offroad Oil Drain Tool to drain the oil. No mess, easy to use and doesn't require removal of the skid plate.
Tokyo Offroad i know you were promoting your tool , i was just joking around
Nice, looking forward to more
Excellent as usual. Thanks
