  • KTM 50 SX Top End Rebuild - New Piston Kit
    This is 2016 KTM 50 SXS. Piston was shot and all burnt up so it was time to replace it. I used a Vertex piston kit ($100) and it came with all the parts needed to do a complete top end rebuild.

    awesome vid. What clutch cover is that ?

    • @TheRealSkeptyk
      @TheRealSkeptyk  3 роки тому

      The clutch cover came stock from the special edition 50 SX in the 2016 year. It was called an SXS. Which is the dirt bike in the video above. Again, it was a special edition 50 SX model that KTM made for the 2016 model. Kinda like their factory editions they make today. Thanks for watching! Appreciate the like 👍!

      Youll need a measuring tape, or sag tool, but the rider sag should be at 80mm.

    Bro I need help man I tore down the top end twice everything is installed correctly. I have a 39.5 piston in a 2005 pro senior ktm 50 and the kick has zero compression.

    • @TheRealSkeptyk
      @TheRealSkeptyk  Рік тому

      You have to double check everything... make sure your piston ring has no gap or slit that would allow air to pass through, the wall... when installing your your cylinder head make sure your gasket did not have any tears or small rips... everything has to be sealed tight... hope that helps.

    Do you have to worry about deck height or timing with the 50's ?

    How long and what’s the price for the kit. I was thinking about upgrading to a KTM for my 5 year old that is out grown his Honda 50.

    • @TheRealSkeptyk
      @TheRealSkeptyk  Рік тому +2

      Should be under $100... I bought mine off eBay, I paid $90 at the time.... it took me about 2.5 hrs to do it, I change the pistons after about 30hrs on them, but change it as needed.

    Does the piston ring have to go on a certain position on the ktm50?

    • @TheRealSkeptyk
      @TheRealSkeptyk  3 роки тому

      Yes there a specific grove it sets in... in the video I mention that as im putting the ring on the piston. Also the arrow on the piston needs to be on the exhaust pipe outlet side.
