just bought the easy idle screw a few days ago and watched up on both of these videos. Thank's for going into such detail on how to do everything, it answers all the questions I didn't even know I had.

Videos never go on too long. The 411 is invaluable. Wish Jeff was my neighbor

As always, thanks for the info Jeff. I used CRC chlorinated brake cleaner. It is the RED can! Not the green can. No need to buy the fancy bob smith stuff, and you can always use the brake cleaner for other tasks. The white thread locker dissolved after I soaked it about 3 times over the course of about 3 hours. Worked perfectly. It came right out with a T10 torx bit. Cheers all!

i did this on my 2020 300 xcw and also the Coober ECU. WOW it runs so much better. off idle is way better. no more pipe bang, and no more stalling on downhills. super happy with this bike.

Thanks Jeff. I have a 2023 so I'm going to look around a little more, but great info.

I just did this to my new 22 xc-w 300. Air screw 1 turn out from flush runs perfect

I used this on my 2019 husky and this works a great 👍🏻 I did have to let it sit over night to get the screw out

Awesome info as always Jeff, cheers from Australia

Heating up the tip of the Allen wrench hot hot and letting it sit in grub screw worked well, plus some additional heat on the outside

Thanks for posting great video👍🇬🇧

Awesome info as always Jeff...Greetings from East TN.

Just installed my slavens idle screw. I tryed the debonder overnight with no luck. Heat was the only way to get that old screw out.

I have a 19' 300 , GET ECU (with Slavens Maps) and Race Kit and found the bike runs great with the air screw 2.5 turns out.

One of your best.

Cheers Jeff.. enjoyed the vid.. 🤙

Just finished installing on my 21 GG EC300. Debonder worked fine after two drenchings about two hours apart. Needed to set the gap a little larger than 4.75mm for a nice stable idle, but running great!

30 seconds of heat it allowed a small turn and then 15 more seconds of heat applied. I then turned it in and out for a few turns and then all the way out with no problem. Just turn it very gentle...if it doesn't move then add more heat.

Tried the uncure. Let it soak heavily for four days. Wasn’t even close to budging. Ended up pulling out the throttle body and using MAP gas. My grub screw was heavily coated with a white loctite. Maybe some are more heavily coated than others, but I honestly feel that no amount of soaking this would’ve released the screw. Just my experience at least.

First off, I want to say this post is not about blaming anyone but rather sharing my experience that hopefully will help others My 2020 KTM 300 xc w has 195 hours and until recently idled good enough to "get by", so I never updated the idle screw. After watching another video that used Uncure on the OEM screw without removing the throttle body, I tried that method but couldn't get the OEM idle screw out even with soaking the screw regularly for 3 days using Uncure. After 3 days still couldn't get the screw out so went riding with some buddies yesterday. Rode up the first hill with a 180-degree turn at the top into a steep downhill. Went into the turn chopped throttle and the bike died, fell downhill landing face-first into rocks. Lost motor control of arms and hands for about 60 seconds, and first thought was ""oh shift this is the big one". Regained control of my arms and hands and my riding buddies helped me get up and walked back to the truck. Went to ER with some weird symptoms in both arms. Diagnosis is contusion of the spinal cord, C3/4 disc HNP, Neck Strain/Sprian, compression fracture at T11. My recommendation is DO NOT put off doing the Idle screw mod with heat per Jeff's video!!!! The good news is that I now time to fix the idle screw and to straighten up my garage before I trip and break a leg!!! Never stop riding!!! Cheers!!!

Id like to see a follow up or part 2 of this video showing you adjust the idle with the air screw and idle screw. I know it's same as a carb bike but still

Hi from Spain. since I have put the external idler screw I am able to regulate it to my liking. but the consumption of gasoline has skyrocketed... my question is what is it due to? Could it be that the TPS needs to be adjusted? Thank you for all your teachings and I look forward to your response.

Jeff, Can that mod cause crankshaft bearing damage? I am asking you that because, if from factory bike cames lean mixture and we change and make it rich, that injections will give more fuel and air/oil mix will be the same, so more fuel will go to crankshaft bearing holl and there will be more fuel as air/oil. I think you understand logic what I am asking you. so If you think about that please let me know. Thanks,

Jeff I’ve got your get tuner on a 19 300 tpi and your idle screw. In the get instructions, states AS out 2 to 2 1/2 turns vs your video with stock ECU at closed to 1/2 out. Is this still correct? Thanks

@Slavens Racing does this also apply when using the "extreme" or "sports driver" map which is in use? I drive an EC300 2021, so also 4-5 turns out?

Tried debonder on my 22 ec300. Soaked for 24 hours with multiple applications. No luck. I’ll keep it for other purposes. There was a hefty amount of loctite so my hopes weren’t high. 10 seconds of heat and it came right out. May work for others tho!

Is it normal for there to be dirt/sand inside the throttle body housing that holds the throttle cables? I took that cover off the replace a bent throttle cable and it was full of dirt

Hey. If I change idel screw on stock bike Gas gas 300 2021 How much i turn air screw? Original is 3 1/4

I own a 2021' EXC 250 TPI the default bypass screw is 2 and 3/4 but my bikes have a tricky pipe bang when I release the accelerator. Should I resolve it with the idle screw mods? How many rounds Do i need to set the bypass screw after the installation of idle screw ? Thank you

Can I run an s3 head on my 21 300 xcw without having to remap? Just curious because it has the richer factory mapping.

"I don't know why KTM can't hit the target a little bit better..." That, right there, is rich! AND I LOVE IT!

Is the air screw 4 or 4 and half turns the same for the 21 150’s?

Can you fit this with a oem Ecu my concern is the throttle position sensor being out of sink thanks

Do you have a suggestion for the air screw on the 2023 XC-W?

Hi Jeff, all. Stupid question, I know. But isn't the throttle body aluminum? If so, is the upgraded stainless screw going to cause corrosion over time?

hello slavens Let's see if you can help me he did the same thing, but the engine failed in the frame, and the motorcycle slowed down and stopped

Hi Jeff. I did the idle screw install according to the books, and as part of that measured the factory grub/set screw setting before removing it so that I could install the new idle screw to spec. All good on that front - the install was successful. But since then I have adjusted that screw numerous times and don't know where it is at relative to the factory position. Reviewing some youtube vids now (mainly the one from Two Stroke Performance), I realized that you are really only supposed to adjust that idle if necessary, AFTER having adjusted the bypass screw to where you want it. I want to set it back to the factory default baseline again, without having to remove the throttle body again. I seem to recall that you can take a voltage measurement somewhere and used that to reset it. Does anyone know how I can do that?

greetings jeff I am writing to you from Latin America ECUADOR. I hope you can help him with a small question about my motorcycle, it is a ktm tpi 2019 250cc and I want to change it to the 300 kit, do you think I will have some problem if I keep the same software of the 250 since here they cannot help me with the reprogramming of the ECU. I appreciate your response.

Have you done this on 22-23 models? Are the turns out still around 4?

I just take the video's with me into the garage lol.

Thank you for all of the great info...do you know if these settings would transfer to the Gas Gas models? I have a '21 Gas Gas EX300 which I'm sure as you know is the equivalent to the KTM 300XC...do the Gas Gas models have the same ECU settings as the KTM models??? Thanks for any help.

Any update on the 22 or 23 KTM 300xcw?

Great Info as always Jeff ----- Why 4-4.5 turns out on the Air screw for the 20 -21s? My 20 300 xcw starts with no cold start and runs perfect with 1 turn out and Slavens Idle screw...

Hi from Spain. thanks for the great videos. I have a 300 21 and the ideal would be 4 laps from closed? Sorry for my bad English but your videos are subtitled and sometimes it's hard for me to understand everything. It would be incredible to be able to activate the subtitles in Spanish

What is the name of the 'un-cure' or brand name ?

Hi. I'm about to install an Idle Screw on my TE300i. Do I have to prime the oil line prior to startup after reassembly?

I like KTM bikes but they think everyone is a fricking millionaire with the price of their parts, oils, etc.. Totally outlandish.
