Hey wow thanks for the video, never knew about the other screen under the exhaust!
Hello Duff, the good news is that screen rarely has anything in it! Thank you for stopping by and commenting! - Frank
KTM’s have always had a sophisticated oil filtration system. I think my old 525 had like 3 screens and 2 filters along with a magnetic drain bolt. It took time to change but at least you have the option to service more components. Unlike my Honda which only has 1 filter and a drain bolt. Those ratchet wrenches are awesome! We got a metric and imperial set last year and they work great.
Hello Fynn, I am fortunate to not ha e two filters. Sevrsla friends with KTMs have the dual filter setup.
I should go ahead an get a full set of metrics. I picked up an 8 & 10 a while ago as most of the fasteners on my bikes use those. But it would not hurt to have all of them available. Thanks for stopping by! - Frank
KTMs scare me. You are helping me learn I don’t want one! Everything seems more complicated than necessary. Why two screens and a filter? That looked like a lot longer gasket than a failed o-ring/base gasket. I agree completely that changing your own oil/filter/screens is the way to go. Nice video. I’m sure the big 4 appreciate it! 🤣
Hello V Track, I thought it was too long as well. But damn what else could it be!
To be fair, those screen catch a noticeable amount of metal, so they are needed. It's crazy that the engine is still shaving off metal at 14K miles. But that's the KTM life. - Frank
Another great how-to video. Much appreciated, Frank!
This saves time and a ride to the dealer and cut costs. Also a lot of fun to do it by yourself!
Greetings from The Netherlands.
Hello Roy, thank you for stopping by, I appreciate it. How is the riding over there? I have only been to densely populated areas of Europe. Mostly gridlock Ed scooters 😔 - Frank
@@OneOldManRiding It depends per "area". The Netherlands is small, mostly flat and a few "off-road" TET-routes. But in the surrounding countries there are more challenging routes and beautiful sceneries like Belgium (The Ardennes), Germany (Schwarzwald, Moezel-area, Bayern-area (in the deep south), Austria (Gross Glockner pass)/Switzerland/Italy (Stelvio pass) are great where the mountain passes are.... These are reachable in a couple of days riding (400 - 1200 km distance).
Hello Roy, 400-1200km sounds reasonable, provided you can take the time of course. My son was in Austria and Germany earlier this year on vacation and said it was beautiful. - Frank
Excellent information Frank! Well laid out maintenance tip! This will definitely help someone!
Cheers!
Hello Doc! I appreciate the kind words. I have been watching these great DR650 TH-camrs do maintenance videos lately and wanted to do one 😁 - Frank
Frank - Now that's a great video on an oil change for the KTM 390. Very well done...
Cheers !
Hello Obi-Wan, you are too kind! I appreciate your stopping by as always! - Frank
Thanks from Australia for the lesson. Take care.
Hello Marsupial, I hope the winter is not stopping you from riding. Thank you for stopping by! - Frank
@@OneOldManRiding we don't get winter here in Brisbane Australia. It was 22 Celcius. 71 degree's Fahrenheit today. It's probably the best City in the world for riding motorcycles. Keep well.
I would love to live in an area without winter at this point in my life! Enjoy that riding! - Frank
Good help I've still need to do mine for the first time.
Hello DMc, do not be surprised if you have what looks like quite a bit of metal shavings on your first oil change. It's very common for this engine to shed metal for the first and second oil change, and not an indication of an issue! - Frank
Wow that is a lot of places to have to drain and access.
Only other engines I know with so many drain locations is a Lamboghini V10 and V12 which has about 8 due to the shallow oil pan with humps in it.
Hello S, I agree, lots of spots to drain! KTM staple I am afraid. Thanks for stopping by! - Frank
Can you do more how to videos you explained down to the tools I love that 😁
Thanks for the video. One major thing I would change up is I would pull both screen filters and the paper filter and completely drain the engine before installing ANY of the filters. Especially the side screen filter. There is enough dirty oil left behind that is could get into the new screen filter and that, to me, sort of defeats the purpose of installing fresh filters.
Hello John, that is solid advice. I will give it a try next change. Thank you for stopping by! - Frank
@@OneOldManRiding - For future reference, the cap on the end of the filter between the exhaust accepts a hex key. I believe it takes a 5mm or perhaps a 6mm. It's a lot easier putting a hex key in the small space by the header than trying to fish a spanner in that tight space. You also will not have to loosen your header stud bolts to get to the filter.
John I wish you had watched the video two weeks ago, I just changed the oil again! I will keep this advice in memory for the next change for sure! - Frank
nice tips subscribed
Hello Rex, I appreciate your stopping by! Thank you. - Frank
Hi there, have you faced an issue of the engine oil draining out quickly in the 390 ADV?
Hello, do you mean oil loss? I do not experience oil loss. - Frank
Hey man, hows engine? How many miles has it got now? Is it still shaving metal off even now?
Hello Rohan, just under 25K. The engine has never given me ANY ISSUES. Screens have been clean every change since the second. That one had a bit of metal. - Frank
Aluminum foil for oil.👍
Always foil before you oil I say! 🛢️😁 - Frank
By the way... you didn't tell us about your topcase(s), right? Not in the description of the (earlier) videos either...
Once I saw a SW-Motech Trax Adventure ? And in this video a Givi Outback? If so what kind of model/type, how much capacity (in litres) and do you like them?
Sorry for all these questions, but I'm thinking of the Givi Alaska sidecases (36L) and the 56L topcase.
Hello Roy, I am running a generic aluminum top case from Amazon. Its 45L. Which I think is a little large for the bike. It fits my helmet with vertical room to spare, so I imagine a 40L would have been sufficient. - Frank
@@OneOldManRiding Agree, it's a huge box.
Nevertheless, I went for the GIVI Trekker Alaska set (in black). The topcase is a whooping 56L (yes it is almost a shipping container...). I need to store 2 cross helmets and some other stuff while travelling. During commuting, I will detach the topcase.
Hey man what brand and size top case do you have on your bike in this video and will it hold a full face helmet?
Hello Marshall, 45L and it will hold a full face without a peak! The peak in my AT-950 was just too high. - Frank
@@OneOldManRiding o ok man thank you very much. If you don't mind can you please email me . I'm really thinking about getting a 2023 ktm 390 adventure.
Sure Marshall, I am out and about, but will tonight. - Frank
@@OneOldManRiding The oil changes are so complex. Dual screens and o rings and no crush washers? Uh oh. My litre sportbikes are just a sump plug and new crush washer and an external spin on oil filter torqued on with filter cap adapter. Takes me no time at all. The fact that KTM require dual screens indicates they believe their may be engine debris that they don't want to circulate. I'm not convinced. And I can only imagine the consequences of missed or late oil changes and new screens. Can you say low oil pressure? These are Made in India and it shows. Wiring looms and connectors are cheap as are the switchgear and they place the header pipe right next to the rear monoshock? Going to be quite a few rear shocks that get their oil nice and hot with blown seals as a result.
It is a waste to change the washable screens if they are not old/broken
Hello Javier, I agree. I just buy filters now. The screens look like new when cleaned. Thanks for stopping by and commenting! - Frank
Did you do the first service yourself?
Hello Erasmo, Its rely just an oil change and once over if the bike to ensure nothing has vibrated loose. I would suggest folks to it themselves and save (where I live) $350. - Frank
@@OneOldManRiding true. I can buy a bash plate or a qs. I always service my japanese bikes but never have owned a new bike until now.
What oil you running?
Hello John, I cannot find 15w-50 locally, so I buy this one suggested on the 390 FB group, I have used it five times:
