Good advice sir....learnt the hard way about 35 years ago on my old CB550K1. Cracked the sump pan through overtightening drain plug🙈 what a horrible feeling. Bought a torque wrench shortly after

Good job buddy I bought myself a torque wrench recently i decided when adjusting the chain it is pretty important to make sure the axle nut is on properly it kind of does an important job 😂 has come in handy in checking all the bolts on the bike, the best tool in the toolbox I think.

@@MackieBass I bought it new, ktm heavily reduced price when the updated abs smt got released. I done the usual, put end cans and a k&n filter on it and uploaded a new ECU map to suit. No engine problems in 50000 miles, and I have done the valves twice. Set suspension as per the book and I am loving Avon 3d xm tyres at 140 a pair they are great. Everytime I service it, I call it a bastard and I am selling it....then I ride it and I smile again, and forget what a pain in the ass servicing is... check out ktm smt forum for info but not much goes wrong as it ain't all electronics and sensors. Only problem is ....i dont know what to get next ...so for now I keep it 😉👍

Thanks for that Macki. I am somewhat embarrassed to admit it but I have just now realized that one of my bikes I had for 5 years actually has a dry sump system as well. I now understand why it has 3 drain bolts and why there was hardly any oil coming out of the sump plug. Idiot me, anyway I know now thanks to you bringing up the subject...don't tell anyone. rsm8

Hey Mackie, You're correct that dry sumps were mainly for racing, this was to get more HP from the engine as the crank rotating in oil lost a chunk of power, imagine like us trying to run or move fast in the swimming pool. Baffles are used to stop the oil sloshing to one side in corners.

Hi, nice video, just couple things, not always full synthetic is the best oil, for modern bikes with new engines is quite the best choice but with old bikes, noisy engines and bikes with sealing factory problem mineral oil, 90% of the times, is way better because it’s thicker than synthetic and it’s good to save money but I would invest in the best oil I can get for the bike, every time I do an oil change on my bikes whenever is my Harley, the bmw or the Honda I get best things money can buy, it may sound more expensive to use top quality oil and filters but trust me in the long run it saves you money on engine works. Just couple advices from my experience. Have a good one and ride safe brother
@MackieBass 5 жыл бұрын
True brother, but I was referring specifically to KTM 990. Fully synthetic is the best choice here. Still, I'd rather change oil twice as often rather than once with the overpriced stuff. My opinion only, and I appreciate yours. Cheers for your input bro. Ride safe.
@brandywell44 5 жыл бұрын
I go by what the manual says for the particular bike. Not just the thickness value eg 5W-30 but if there is a spec for example low ash eg ACEA C3 or API. If my own bike or car is valuable, and not just a cheap runaround, I use an own brand oil which should be the best eg Harley Davidson, Yamaha and Honda all do their own brand oils and they are special and high quality. Yamalube (Yamaha) for example is different to anything else i have bought and I am very happy to use it.

This is not my imstructions. It's in the KTM manual. I've done it hand right before, and I've snapped the bolt! Maybe your torque wrench is faulty and not calibrated, right? It can often happen to the large ones, with a wide spectrum of range.

@@MackieBassI’m new to torque wrench’s and I only had a 1/2 inch one with a bunch of reducers. I was unaware that I should have reduced the torque specs when using them. I now have a 1/4 inch one so hopefully I will be more successful in the future. The SD 990 I just bought has been sitting since 2012 so I’m trying to change all fluids, your video is the only one on KZfaq for this particular ktm. The manual doesn’t tell me how to flush the coolant, I had to get the local shop to send a picture of their service manual.
