Any time!

I’m this This is bull crap if you put an ounce in your gas tank it 100 percent keeps your bike a little lubed.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you!

@@slaverace1 thank you for the video, one question I still have, this oil injection of TPI works with 0 throttle on long downhills? I shut mine off for every downhill to avoid the engine brake, not sure if for TPI is needed or they inject the oil even when going 2000rpm with no throttle.

@@2WheelDerness If the engine is running the pump is pumping.

@@slaverace1 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bZhjasaFqZqtaKM.html just saw for 2023 has a diffrent injection

Thank you.

*200 "dollars" hehe yeah just giving you a hard time but even with the exchange rate that is a gouge. Time to open the fricken' borders! I bet the Sumas mail drop is jammed to the gills.

@@endurok39pnw Bike parts are much more expensive up here and shipping from the US is killer too. My US mailbox is literally across the street from the border, they could almost throw a package over to me, but I won't be able to access it for some time still.

I don't have much time for watching videos but I did see one of yours. You have some great stuff in BC and we have similar trails here. If you weren't so far away, I'd beg you to join in on a ride. I love gnarly trails.

@@slaverace1 well when the borders open up I'd be glad to show you around if you want to come up. You have some trails in CO that are at the top of my list of places to ride as well.

@@PNWEnduro Thank you for the offer. I'll try to get up there before I'm too old to ride the gnar. I'm 67 YO so the clock is ticking. I'll gladly give you a tour of Colorado trails if you make it this way some day.

well, ktm does has some ridiculous recommendations. such as rebuilding top end every 80 hours normal use, 40 for racing. like what the hell. or even the oil pump recommended at 80 hours

KTM is kinda going against their own recommendation now with the move to TBI.

Correct, the fuel never sees the bottom end and thee reeds don't get gummy.

@@slaverace1 I was wondering about the reeds since no fuel was travelling along with. Thanks again.

Saber is too think for the injectors. Switch to Amsoil Dominator.

Hello: Interceptor and Dominator are both good choices.

Jack: Great question. It's actually somewhat amazing that 2 strokes run at all. When studying the 2 stroke engine in detail, it's actually quite magical compared to a 4 stroke. With carbureted 2 strokes, the carb does a great job atomizing the fuel and doesn't need additional help but does get a little as it passes through the ports. Once the atomized premix hits the cases and engulfs the crankshaft, the spinning crankshaft creates arguably detrimental turbulance. Then the piston comes down, compresses the crankcase mixture which transfers the mixture to the top of the piston. At X degrees BTDC the ignition fires the plug during the compression process and "we have lift off Houston". Tpi models go through the same "cycle" but the atomizing is done by the injectors. Many think the injectors produce a stream of fuel but 50 PSI pushes the fuel through several small holes in the injector which produces a spray mist. Hope this helps!

@@slaverace1 Thanks for the reply sir. We forget that this "Symphony" is happening at a crazy rate of speed. Not just fuel gets dumped in here, oil gets squirted in there, and pull some air in from over there, and cross your fingers. Have a great holiday sir and enjoy your family and be safe. Please keep the videos coming. Such great tech. at an easy to understand level and not just sales BS glossing over. I like data and reasoning. All of which you provide, PLUS trail stewardship which we often forget. Thanks again Sid

Isn’t there an accumulation of oil in the bottom that provides the oil for each stroke? In a mixed gas situation the oil and gas seperate but oil previously seperated is transfered back into the mix. That is how one was to judge (during rebuild) if the ratio used was too lean or rich (size of the puddle). That is how there is enough time. The oil that enters at the same time as the gas gets processed later with other gas. Correct me if I’m wrong here. I make no claims of being an expert.

No

Yes, sometimes the OEM filter splits. Go to your local automotive parts store and purchase a steel one for $5-$10.

when your oil pump went, did the bike automatically shut down? worried mine might do that and just seize the engine from no oil

@@jadenantal1652 it did shut down because it blew up lol there is nothing to tell you the oil pump failed no lights or no safety thing to shut the bike off just catastrophic failure since this has happened I've gone back to a carb/pre mix bike 22 sherco 300 se to be exact and couldn't be happier no regrets

Hello TR5: First of all, carbed bikes use premix that is the same ratio at all RPMs and will NOT damage the engine on long descents unless the pilot jet is too lean. The ECU controls the oil on TPi models and does a good job for all conditions. Worrying about the oil delivery is a big waste of riding time. There are bigger fish to fry.

@@slaverace1 thank you!

Nathan: I'm a little confused. You said it was running lean, which was a problem with ALL '18 and 19 models, but you are also questioning the oil pump? Sounds like a lean fueling issue to me, not the pump.

@@slaverace1 when pulling the cylinder off to inspect it looks super lean like it's been starved of oil (no way on earth that would of lasted 55 hours like that). Very light powdery couler.. now if the pump was dispersing the correct amount of oil it wouldnt be running lean right??

Hello: When the engine starts, the pump provides plenty of oil for all RPMs. Everyone needs to stop obsessing about the oil and just ride. JS

No

Most bikes should run in the 180-190 range.

The system is designed for Motorex 2T but I use Amsoil Dominator.

Hello, That is a mapping issue. Ask your dealer to update the maps. If that doesn't correct the issue, a GET ECU will fix it and give you more power.

Ya definitely mapping, happened to my brothers bike. Just take the ecu in and the dealership will sort the problem out for u.

Thanks for the replies. I'll be sure to do it. I love the bike when it's running well. Crisp and rips. But man it sucks the life out when its having an off day.

Definitely mapping. I have 250h on my 2019 300xcw and still on original plug.

I did it because it improves cooling and reliability.

iPone is not readily available in the US so I've never used it.

@@slaverace1 but I think if it's fuel injected recommended it's good. Thanks!

You are saying it will because you are too poor to try a TPI bike out. Get your money game up like me.

I owned one since that comment, have about 120h on my ktm 300 exc tpi 2021 sixdays. Put about 30% of that on the road and 50% medium enduro training. The rest of that 20% is just wood/gravel roads@@davidbeauvais1364

That's a common issue that can be resolved with an ECU Reflash slavensracing.com/shop/slavens-mule-ez-ecu-tuning-reflash-for-ktm-hqv-gas-gas-tpi/ that will also give it more HP.

@@slaverace1 hi, do you really need the thermostat for the 2020 300xc??

@@vancebivens6846 I second this comment, should i just remove it on my 21 300xc TPI?

This video is about oil, not fueling. If you are experiencing pinging, that is a lean fueling issue.

Always great info!!! I was buying into the snake oil for a little bit.

Oil injection directly into the cases.

Please explain why you think it would cause damage. There are much bigger fish to fry. Just go ride.

Josh, Sorry for the issue but I'm unable to duplicate it. Plenty of volume on my computers and phone and I've asked friends to check and it was fine. Do you have the volume on the video and the computer volume set to the max? Do your speakers have an adjustment?

Sorry, don't know. Might be worthwhile to post that question on the chit chat forums.

Technoplate.

Yes, the GET relocation kit will put the oil where it will be beneficial but the oil pump delivers plenty of oil and adding oil is not needed.

I'll tap a little louder next time.
