    Great vid. I was wondering why you didn’t replace the cam chain while you were in there?

      @@darrenjones6965 about every 30 hours. 40 of you are hard on the clutch. Clutches are mostly about feel. If you feel it slipping then replace it. Key to keeping your clutch plates good is frequent oil and oil filter and screen changes

    Assembly lube goes on bearings, not rings or the jug. rings and jug get engine oil.

    Why would you not replace the timing chain when doing the top end?

    • @rmatvmc
      @rmatvmc  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      If it's worn out, binding, "stretched", or has a lot of hours, then sure. I would recommend replacing it when it's time to rebuild the bottom end, but if you are waiting that long to do your top end, then definitely get it done. -Charles

    How different would the top end rebuild be for a 2021 kx 250 xc

    • @timmockford239
      @timmockford239 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      0 difference. Only difference between bikes is rear tire, kickstand and softer spring rates.

    What pound wrench is that

    • @rmatvmc
      @rmatvmc  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      There are two torque wrenches used in this rebuild. One goes from 10-80 ft. lbs. and the other one is an inch lb. torque wrench.
