FYI I checked my brand new not even started direct from Venom 2024 KPX 250 for dipstick in or out. Dipstick out showed no oil. Dipstick screwed all the way in showed oil halfway up. Drained the oil into a measured container and it showed EXACTLY 1100 ml which is what the manual calls for when changing the oil. I'm on my 3rd oil change. New, 100 miles 300 miles all using 1100 ml (1.1 Liter) and all show oil 3/4 the way up when the dipstick is screwed all the way in, and nothing when the dipstick is just laid on top as you have it. Get yourself a 64 oz measuring pitcher made for fluids and marked in ml and oz. Fill it to 1100 ml and you will have the exact correct amount of oil in your KPX 250.
Thanks for watching the video.I’m glad to hear your maintaining your new KPX with numerous oil changes. As this is not my first rodeo with bike maintenance I will maintain my method of operation. Be sure to check your head stem bearings to ensure proper steering operation. Take care and thanks for your input.SCOTTFAX
@@Kevin-mm6xmThanks I appreciate your input and as the manual recommends placing the dip stick in to check oil level not screw it in to check. Oil capacity is 1.1 to 1.3 L. I appreciate the China bikes but not all their written info is always accurate. ELS
@@ScottFish-m2o Well it's 1.1 liter in the manual and the service manual. It's 1.3 liters if a new/rebuilt engine with zero oil in it. When changing your oil, put 1.1 liter of oil in, screw the dipstick all the way in, and the oil shows 3/4 of the way up the hash marks. Hard to argue with that kind of proof.
@ You do you. If you believe your spot on then continue with your practice. Not that serious of an issue as this is not my first oil change, and if you want to screw in your oil dipstick then do so. Have a good day!
Good video. I will surely check the grease in the areas you mentioned on my kpx250. Thank you. All the best.
Thanks for the kind words and watching the video. Yes I think they may have cut a corner on the grease! ELS

@@Scott-sk7en That's fine but I would caution against over filling your oil. Too much is not a good thing. 1100 ml is what the manufacturer calls for.
