I remember a discussion a couple of months ago concerning a problem with the valves on the 650FE I can't remember if it was something with the guides or springs or valves themselves. I have searched everything I could think of and can't seem to find it. I want to take any precautions necessary...

Brakesystem bleeding as simple as possible. Change the original bleeder screw on the brake calliper, to this new bleeder screw with included holding valve. You just have to open the screw of the non return-valve a half turn and pump the brake fluid with the brake lever through the brake system...

Hi, Finally I prepared a spring test set-up with a 200kg load cell. In this test, I measured the spring force on KTM DVSKs (part#83036028044 and 59036028244) and contrasted with husaberg conicals.I knew KTM full set(4X) ATV DVSK(part#83036028044) is the same as 1X racing bike...

Hi, Does anybody know the installed valve spring lenght of KTM dual valve spring on KTM RFS engine?

Any ideas what might have caused this? Do you think the cylinder is bent where whatever exploded the cover hit the outer cylinder wall? Looks a little bent to me... the bike is seriously cheap in price, but a replacement cylinder and valve cover plus whatever broke off in the engine to get...

All, another spring broke, this time significant damage to engine (piston/liner etc). This is the 3rd spring to fail on me in the last year... I recently had a race cam fitted & the ports polished to get a few more ponies. The mechanic looking at it now has suggested there may be...

Hi guys, I have an '04 FS650E that I ride pretty much every day to work and back. Had it for about 2 years with minimal problems, change the oil every 500kms and check valve clearances every few times, never been loose. So, about 12 months ago I bent a valve and had to get it replaced, not...

Hey guys, what's all involved in replacing the valve guide seals? I went through the old posts and am a little confused. Do I need to do any machining or can I just pull the old ones out and replace. Is this something a at home do it yourselfer can do or do I need a specialist? The service...
