Totally agree.

Thank you, very much appreciated and glad you managed to sort it yourself. Take care and ride safe.

Thanks pal. I’ve just been notified you’ve sub’ed. I though you already were. Did you leave me and then miss me . 🤣.

Cheers pal. Appreciate it.

That’s great pal. I’m glad it was of some help.

Yeah it does but wasn’t too bad to be honest. It was the dealer that told me they need to be reverse bled. I tried gravity bleed and pumping the lever but didn’t work.

This is the proper way for these bikes according to a KTM tech.

@Robbiemoto Yamaha, Ducati, and a ktm tech says otherwise

I guess each has their own way. I enquired with a KTM tech and he said the way to bleed them easily is reverse bleed.

@Robbiemoto me too! And just so you know, there is no bleeding procedure in the shop manual. It's whatever the tech decides to do. And everyone does it differently. Your way is just messy and takes a lot longer. Just did the same thing, and all I did was flick the lever and all the bubbles were gone. Just like the Yamaha, Ducati and ktm tech said. Try it before you discard it. Or keep doing it the messy and longer way. No matter what when your pumping into a system there is going to be bubbles regardless of the direction. So no you didn't get it all

@@waltermiller249 Well the clutch works and is stronger than before so agree a little messy but this old amateur got there in the end. Lol.

I believe it’s still the same as a 2020 which is BF11. But double check with your dealer that the fuel cap design hasn’t changed. I don’t think it has but don’t take my word.

Hi. No I didn’t but I’ve not had an issue with the 701 at all.

Thanks for that. I did think it look a little funny when I took it out. As it wasn’t like that when I bled the clutch before but didn’t think anymore of it. I think it’s fixed itself once I started pulling the lever in as it’s not extended in the reservoir. Apparently the only way to bleed these are reverse bleeding.

@@Robbiemoto definitely not the case I've fitted the same master cylinder but I did use the new backing plate, my old master cylinder was rusty on my retaining clip I had one replaced under warranty but when I took that one off that was rusty as well.

@@richiektm Fair enough. I’m only going on what the dealer told me in the past that KTM clutches have to be reverse bled. Either way it works lol.

@@richiektm You we’re spot on mate concerning the diaphragm. I went for a quick ride after I fitted the slave yesterday and the pot looked clear. I’ve just checked after you mentioned it and it was the same so I pulled it and reshaped it. Good spot my friend.

@@Robbiemoto no worries pal

Hi. Sometimes as there’s no resistance on the back wheel it can still spin. Put it in Neutral and Rev it. You may see the wheel turn a little. As you saw in my vid even after I had a few bubbles come through I kept on bleeding it just to make sure. But if you have a good feel to the lever then just maybe only a few tiny bubbles came out. They were really small for me. Maybe go for a ride up and down the road a little to see how it feels. If your not happy with that then for peace of mind I’d probably go through another 5 or 6 syringe fulls and bleed it some more. I hope this is of some help.

Hi. So far so good. I had an issue with the clutch being “soft” and as you may have seen I bled it but wasn’t totally confident it wasn’t gonna happen again hence why I opted for the Oberon unit which as said has been faultless so far.

@@Robbiemoto ok good to know I’ve heard similar on other ktm . mine started in Germany still rideable but made hard to get into neutral while clutch not completely disintegrating. I see what ktm say going in for that and the usb on dash not working under warranty. I looked up the part you fitted I think they around £112 if out of warranty be a good replacement. But it sounds more like it such really of been a recall on the failing OEM .

Yeah they’re not too expensive. Even though I’d never done anything like that before it wasn’t too bad to fit and bleed. Why the USB isn’t working is a strange one. I hope you get it all sorted soon.

Hi. They were from a company called Motea in Germany. SW Motech do a similar version but much more expensive. Mine are good quality but the paint isn’t an exact match but once out in the daylight it’s not that noticeable.

@@Robbiemoto Thank you for answering my question so quickly. Good luck with your great channel!

@@mtkoslowski Thanks pal. Much appreciated.

I’m yet to ride as the weather been awful here.

Its been a bloody year now? ​@@Robbiemoto

That does sound a little strange. I would recommend bleeding your clutch. Take it to your dealer or have a go yourself. Take a look here. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gdyToMVhr9Heo6c.html
