I just finished replacing the heim joint on my bike using the tool I purchased from you a few weeks ago. Couldn’t have gone more easily. It is a very well engineered tool. Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback and pleased that the tool worked well. Thanks for your business.
Love this tool! Just used mine for the first time today. Made the job sooooooo easy. Worth every penny! Thanks Mark!!
That's great and thanks for the positive feedback.
Great Vid Mark! I ordered this tool and some others from your Webshop today. Keep the maintenance vids coming you do an excellent job with them!!!
nightbasser73 - Thanks for your order, much appreciated. Your order will ship tomorrow. Yes, I have plenty new video ideas, the frequency of which will be increasing once I have received a new (to me) project bike (2017 KTM 250 EXC.
Mate awesome tool you have made for us home mechanics and awesome vid, love the freezer tip btw👍
Thanks for the positive feedback!
Heat when removing and installing super nice plus compressed air can upside down is -50.
You don't need to buy this tool you can just use sockets and and a long bolt. 19mm and 1-1/8'' socket, Just used this method on my bike and worked great
Great tool! Maybe use a little grease on the threads too and maybe put a little grease on the swingarm instead of the bushing.This is because once the bushing is being pushed in it will wipe the grease off,if applied on the swing arm you will be pushing the bushing over the grease instead.My opinion only! Love your vids btw.
Thanks, i think i would as well, been riding manual over 40 years
Your like the Jeff Slavens of Japan. Good stuff.
Gregamz - I'll take that as a compliment :-) pleased to hear that you're enjoying the videos.
Better. Mark doesn't talk down to his customers or enthusiasts, or go on & on about what he doesn't like.He just tells it like it is.
Thanks, i as well, was thinking of radius cx?
If you know someone with a Rekluse fitted to their bike highly recommend test riding theirs. I have ridden a couple of friends bikes with Rekluses fitted and didn’t like them. I felt detached from controlling the the rear wheel and I personally don’t have issues with stalling bikes, so didn’t see any advantage. But I read about other people loving them, so guess it just depends on what you like.
Hello Mark ktm Enduro's swing arm bearing replacement video? I want to see your video
I see you're running the bullet proof designs rear rotor guard, any thoughts on the TM Designworks composite guard?
I've used the TMD rear disk guard for a while now. Robust, offers good protection and works well. No issues so far. Also you can purchase replacement plastic lower and caliper guards if the originals ever wear out.
Do you think the new type of bearing + dust seals fit the older models? Got an 15 model which needs this done, and the new style looks much more serviceable.
Have you had any problems with the mud flap rubbing against the ali mine's nearly worn through at 130 hours I wish I could show you how bad mine is
Enduro67 - No, it doesn’t rub badly. The mud flap is still fine after over 240hpurs
Mine is 'OK' after 115mth but i noticed that the pds mount and the spring are bit worn of from it :/
Im actually on about pds joint wearing from the mud flap
Hi, I'm from Brazil. Your videos are excellent. Could you send me the link of the tools that you use as torque. I once watched a video of you that had the links but I do not find the video anymore. Could you tell me what kind oil used for rear suspension of the 300 ktm. Thanks so much. Leandro.
Thanks and please that you like the videos.
The only thing I'm not setup to overhaul myself is the rear shock absorber, so I don't have a recommendation for shock oil.
Regarding torque wrenches, my favorite brand is Tohnichi (Japanese torque wrench manufacturer). They are high quality, accurate and will last a lifetime of use if you look after them. I prefer the metal handle series called QL-MH. Rubber handle one might be more comfortable, but I would be worried that the material would degrade after some years of use, especially if contact with oil, solvents and contaminants. The models I use most are the QL50N-MH (10~50Nm) and QL200N4-MH (40~200Nm). With these two torque wrenches a range of 10 to 200Nm is covered. If you search on Amazon you should be able to find them for sale.

I didn’t see him put grease on the shock bearing (heim joint). I just bought a kit and it included grease.
KTM do not recommend using grease on the heim joint bearing as the stock OEM bearing is teflon coated. If your kit included grease I'm guessing that you ordered an aftermarket bearing.
You don't grease the bearing. It's Teflon coated.
@@billmalec - Yes, the KTM OEM bearing is Teflon coated and grease is not recommended. However, I’m guessing aftermarket bearings are not and would require grease.
What could i do if the helm spacers won't come out? They're rusted on I believe and no matter how much I pound on them with a screwdriver they won't budge
I would first try spraying some penetrating oil behind the spacers, leave for a few hours and try again. If that doesn't work I would try using a blind bearing puller with slide hammer.
What is the website to order the tool please. Do you ship to Thailand
Thanks for your interest. Yes, I'm happy to ship anywhere worldwide, including Thailand. www.tokyooffroad.com/product/ktm-heim-joint-press-tool-hjpt/
I was wanting to know if you use rekluse auto clutches on your bikes, thanks, Jerry
No, I use the standard KTM clutch.
18nm?
No, the torque is 80Nm
What tire is that on the rear
Punkman98 - The rear tire is a Shinko 525X. Great tire for off-road...
What alt do you ride at? i recently got a 2018 xcw and get a bad low end bog im at 6000 ft... "im running JD jetting kit at my alt specs" a lot of guys say they get the slides machined down or just buy new slides have you had to do anything to your slide? btw great riding very entertaining!
Punkman98 - I typically ride between 500~1,500m. My slide is stock. Has been running fine with JD Jetting and S1 needle valve. However, lots have people have been giving the Keihin PWK38 Airstriker shorty (sold by JD Jetting with Jetting kit installed) very good reviews so I'm going to try one next.
thats my next step if this slide mod doesn't work out :)
I assume you cant buy a new bearing from a bearing shop? If anyone has let me know? Factory ones have a huge markup at 100 bucks lol
The KTM replacement kit part number is 79604090044 (heim joint bearing + seals + bushings) and retails for about $55. I'm sure you could find a suitable heim bearing online, but it may be more challenging to find the correct seals and bushings.
@@TokyoOffroad i cant find that part number under about 105 dollars plus shipping ect
Should add im in Australia. Which is prob the reason lol
TT - In the US it’s about US$55...
👏👏👍👌🇳🇴
