- The bikes 2nd Piston Change. My Supermoto Ktm 530 EXC. A how to on how i did the swap. I was supposed to change the Cam Chain too but I had borrowed the wrong special tool. So 1 week later i did the swap. My bike had blow-by symptoms with the old piston, and im hoping to seal the piston rings good and tight with a hard break in. The 530 has the XC4 motor, which is basically the same for newer (2012 and forward) exc-bikes such as the 500 exc. For the RFS (2003-2007) motor i recomend another video which i'll link down bellow.

Realistic time for you first time doing this: 8 h
you shouldn't talk while doing mechanic stuff.. takes way longer time. but it gets more structured that way.
At Friday i started collecting tools at 9 pm. and then i called it a day at midnight by then i had gotten down to the cylinder. Then the next day (sat) i started working at 6 pm and left at 10 pm with the bike almost done. So considering im vloging + late night mechanic + my first time doing this + many mistakes = 8 hours, but next time I feel like i could do it in 3h.

5:43 closes your eyes and listen lol great video 4 strokes are so hard to rebuild
WeRideLikeThis Not hard, just annoying cuz it take's so long
Your enthusiasm is quality.
Need to do this on my 08 xcf w 250 this week. Rebuilt the carb last week and decided to remove the lower bolts on the subframe, loosen the top bolts and swing the subframe with the airbox and rubber boot up and out of the way. A few wires on the battery and it was a HUGE help to work on and reinstall the carb. Previous owner of the bike had one of the rubber locating fingers that align with the tab on the carb folded under and was causing an air leak.
Surprised how fast and easy it was to r+r the carb with subframe swung up and out of the way, and tons of room to get at things!!!
how you know which selection of piston buy without measuring cylinder
should know when owning bike...
There's a punched/engraved letter in the cylinder, buy the corresponding piston size.
Nice video, how did you selected the piston size (tolerance) before dissasebling the engine?, does the cylinder nedded to be rectified considering the damage seen on the piston?
Now I understand why this is so expensive at the dealer, might consider doing this after the winter, total ride count is 140 ish and will not ride more that 10hr in all winter, but can also do it on next oil change, the faster the better
Just another reson to get a twostroke... Keep it up man!
Thanks to your video I was able to change the top end on my ktm 530 all by myself 💪🏾
Just bought one of these bad boys and converting to motard! You are funny AF - loved this...
The carb is a lot easier to remove and refit if you push back on the air box boot. It is fiddly, but that rubber pushes back enough to give you enough room to free the front boot and manipulate the carb out or in.
"This used to be black.... #MichaelJackson"
That made me laugh out loud for real.... Classic !!!!
Did you do your ring gaps?
What about your cylinder? If the piston looked like that, wouldn't you need to deglaze your cylinder, or at least check if it's ok? Still got some crosshatchings?
If I can do it. so can you! If you know how to change a piston (which you do know), the exc will last 4 evs!

BLDH hi I have just bought a Ktm 530 exc and mines burning oil what piston and rings did you put in and has it work ?? Thanks
Currently Stock Piston and rings are in the bike. and havent had any burning oil problems ever since :) but i had before :)
BLDH so what did you just buy 2010 piston and rings ?
BLDH she
Hi, can you help me find the right manual for my ktm? i dont speak your language i cant find it on here: www.karlstrommotor.se/ ? i have a ktm 500 exc 2016 six days. would realley appreciate it thx!
Did you ever remove the rivot gaskets that stick out from the cometic gasket?
Perfect video. This is exactly what I'm needing to do. Wasn't sure if I needed to take the engine off. Thanks!
Your commentary,is so funny and enjoyable👍👍
did you hone the cylinder?
BLDH your appreciation for the word Fuck matches my own! Fuck yeh! Good job on the video.
Hey! I want to buy a supermoto but i am stuck on two models....exc 525 2006 and exc 530 2009. From your experience,please give me some sugestion about this two models... thank you👍
Nice video man. I do my own oil/filter changes, brakes and wheels and all the simple stuff. But this, my friend, is not as easy as you make it seem. So much can go wrong with catastrophic effect. Where did you learn these skills?
thealvaco buy a cheap bike and just try it out, little 2 strokes are a lot easyer and not very much things can go wrong. If you now how to do it try it on a big bike. I’m 14 and I started on a chinese pitbike and now I replace pistons out of 250cc 4-strokes.
You slid the cam out without taking off the rocker arms? Did you loosen the 4 bolts or did i miss somthing?
how many hours was this bike driven when u changed the piston?
Very nice Video! and many thx to introduce us to your bike. Im planning to buy one and can't wait to feel the POWER ! :D
How many hours you need to change the piston during normal driving not heavy? the manual is written in 135 .But I think it's early . you how many have changed?
even though i dont own a ktm (maybe a 690 smc or a 990 smr soon) i found this video informative and funny as hell. keep up the good work
Du är jätte duktig på engelska BLDH,You are awesome on english
How come all these KTM 530 top end jobs never show you how they re check the timming and they always skip that part? The most crucial part?
Nice video! I have a 530 myself, and i wonder how often you take a piston change? And what else maintance do your bike get? :D
Michael jackson! good one bro! btw, im looking for the repair manual for my 2012 500 exc, any suggestion where i can download it? thx a lot!
Hei BLDH !!
Kom det mycke vitrøk ur din motor innan stempel bytet?
Har en 530 exc-r 08 med 82 t, och 3500 km.
Børjade pløtsligt ryka mycket av avgasen.
Tycker det er mycke trykk ur vevhusventilationen på min.
Hur va din innan??
Ursjekta my swedish I'm norwegan
Sett alla dina videoer🙂👌👌
nej det kom inte vit rök från min. en vinterdag kom det blå rök lite grann men annars inte. :/
Really helpfull video .. also made me laugh 😆 thsnk you its given me confidence to do this myself
Given the amount of wear on the piston skirt. How much wear was on the cylinder sleeve? Good video, a lot less swearing than i would of let out!
Ryan Ivan was searching for a comment like this. thought the same
Hooray you did it! Top dead center nOoooooooo!
Did you change the cylinder to or just the piston? Do you have a parts list?
Besides being great info, this was really entertaining to watch. My grandpa was 100% Norwegian, from the Landsem farm. He came over on a boat at 17 with his uncle and w/out a penny to his name and no idea how to speak English. He died a millionaire b/c he worked his ass off. This dude reminds me of my grandpa. Awwww. I know, cheesy. Who cares. So, great vid. New subscriber. I ride a '13 500 EXC with 202 hours and 6200 miles. Just checked valves and they're perfect. These motors are ridiculous. What signs will I get when the piston is shot?
Hola, mi 2013 KTM 450 exc en 2024 tiene 250 horas y sigue sin consumir aceite. Uso tranquilo. Cuanto duró tu pistón?
Saludos.
Where did you get that book? I want to do the same with ktm 525. I want to follow step by step
If i ride this bike commuting on the road how often does the piston have to be changed?
Awesome video mate, full of humor and trickness !!! and very instructive by the way
Thanks man! haha humor is the only thing that would get me through it.. XD
How you measure cylinder what selection you need(A,B,C) ?
Jag har kollat några klipp ett par kvällar nu, ser bra ut. Men du skruvar inte så mycke/ofta va? 😜
just a word of advise, clean the oil off the head bolts before you thread them in. good vid though im going to do my piston soon
Just a word of advice, always oil the head bolts to minimize thread friction to set it at correct torque.
Why you changed piston only with 110 hours?
Ahaha the strain shaking, we all know that feel! Also when that coolant started squerting out xD
After how many hours did u change piston?
Nice video, thanks for putting this together. Actually pretty funny at moments.
Basically, looks like you followed the service repair manual? Or did you blaze your own trail....?
haha. yeah not only just tears. haha. yeah I followed the repair manual, one should always follow that when doing these kind of stuff when you arent 100% sure. after time you will learn yourself. but to avoid mistakes manual is key! :)
thanks for watching :)
BTW.....did you measure the inside of the piston for wear? I heard that some guys have to get it honed and then they apply the "Nikasil" coating...
no i didnt. these cylinders are nikasil treated and you dont "hoon" them. just lock and load! ;) like even when the piston got really worn the cylinder kept intact due to it being so strong with the nikasil
Did you buy original ktm piston or prox? :)
Thanks for sharing
Haha this guy is a fucking champ i could watch his videos all day well done mate, fucking awesome! 👍
Hey, you shouldn't put oil on cylinder bolt oil never touches these bolts, liquid isnt compressible. if you bolt it to hard, you can brake the cylinder. No need for oil ever on bolts. Good job tho
well, sometimes you should oil bolts to get a good torque but you're right, not too much because it isn't compressible.
Not sure of the torquing process on this bike, but when I did head gasket's on my 2000 Mustang, the manual specifically said to put 5w-30 motor oil on the threads of the bolts so in certain cases it is alright. I would say a thin coat could only be beneficial and remember the threads do not form a perfect seal so the oil will likely be able to escape if it build pressure, especially very large and course threads like most cyl. head bolts are. That being said I wouldn't dump oil into the bolt hole or something, just a very thin coat with a oiled rag or something.
The head bolts do have oil on them, I just did mine, so I can confirm.
Oil is often need on head bolts to achieve the correct torque and also correct crush on the head gasket. The bolts should not be swimming in oil because as you said oil is incompressible and will very easy crack cases. Only enough to aid in rotation of the threads.
Vad var det för Special verktyg som behövdes?
One Question.. // After how many hours have you changed it? // And after how many hours you change the oil? thanks! @BLDH
between 70h and 120h, i did now 110h.
oil is between 5h and 15h. i go with 10h :P
Keep up making those tutorials! I really love them😏!
Nice work bench, are you work in wood.
Very entertaining and inspiring! Bra jobbat!
halo friend ....can you help me..???
i have ktm sxf 250 2017...many problem my bike...not idle and if i open trotle my bike deat
Fan va trångt och jävligt😂
that's how we like them ;)))))))))))))) hahhah
+BLDH Fyfan va sant😂
Skulle göra rent mitt luftfilter idag och det gick bra och så men när jag skulle sätta tillbaka det så ramlade en bussning av rätt in i luftburken så jag har haft isär halva moppen idag bara för att få ut bussningen.
Å nu är det bara avgasrör som ska av för att komma åt förgasaren för allt sitter så tight på min DT.
Skitbra video :)
+Dionysus lider med dig!
Dionysus dt50 är fan den värsta moppen å meka med xD
What year is your bike? im looking at getting a 2008 KTM 530 EXCR
0:16
+BLDH oh sorry I didnt see that the first time i watched. Iv heard the 2008 ones have some oil pump issue
do you happen to know how do i move the wheel/sprocket to top dead center without kickstart, i have only electric start? put it on gear and spin the rear wheel or how?
Spin your rear wheel
man please help us. we are trying to split the motor but nothing we all ready removed all the screws but nothing.
😁😂🤪🙌 funny video. Good job!
If that’s on 100 hours wear I’d hate to see mine on 378 🤣🤣🤣
How to change a piston: get a WR and don't do it. HAHAHAHA
+BeRADMoto WR's need piston changes aswel. Bore-gauge the cylinder and measure the piston. Only way to tell if you need a new piston.
+BeRADMoto haha you fucker! XD
Help me out when should I change my piston on husaberg fe 450 2010? The piston has 80h atm 🤔
+200h
How often do you have to do a piston change? On a 2 stroke exc its every 80 rh...
normal street use/amateur enduro from 170-250h
It is normal for the piston not to rise to the maximum point of the cylinder?
Yes, it should always be under the the lip of cylinder.
So what about oil? For first miles u use halfsynthetic and later on full synthetic?
For the first oilchange non syn 10w-50 and then after maybe 1h of riding get that shit out (and filter) and put your regular oil in. (i run OKQ8 15w-50 SBK racing). after that it should be 5h till next oil change. 15h if your lazy and dont have a soul!
Thx! When u release first start? :D
when i actually start it! hahaha
Never seen someone about wet their pants over TDC. lmao
Thanks, great video
BLDH The mechanic
damn this seems really complicated i want to get a supermoto but im worried that id fuck it up while replacing something in the engine
Is it normal to change your own piston? I mean, I probably would fuck it up, im not a mechanic.
how big is that carbourator
Who can help me? please, I don't know how to set the rings gap on the piston, in the manual I do not understand...
Only on a 4-stroke do you need a 15 minute video for a piston change :p
+Aleksi Tuunainen nah, i just like talking too much ^^
Only on a moped you use 2-strokes.
690smcr seems to look easier to take valve cover of for e.g
can you link bloopers and fisrt startup? on my phone...
+Deep_Void OFC!!!! ;) I gottcha bro!
+BLDH ty :)
should i do it at 100 hours? i ride a ktm exc 125, so do i change at 100 hours even if its a 2 stroke?
+Fredrik Wold 2 strokes are more frequent. ive heard numbers around 50h. google it ;)
ye, depends on how u ride, the shop i bought it at said 50 if u drive like motocross and just drive crazy so its 50 i guess :D
oh never gonna be professional anyway so thats out of the question haha
can you tell me how much kilometers do you drive in this 100 houres ?
bigsteev1 5-8k ish
chi e un Italiano come me metta mi piace a questo commento 😂😂😂😂
At top death center, FUCK YEAH! :D
Awesome tutorial, show me how to piss coolant all over the floor again LOLZZZZ
no oil on the bore??!
Классное видео!
you should also make a video on the hard break in:)
como saber a tensão correta da corrente de comando do motor?
Seriously you did not hone the cylinder for new rings to seat?? AND did not even decarb the head? Pop valves out and inspect valves seats? Check valve clearance prior to cam removal so IF shim change is needed it can simply be on reassembly? Seems silly to ignore the other things and only change piston?
I wonder how long before another issue appeared ^_^
Riktiga män mekar utan handskar (y)
Did you changed the cilinder?
nopeeee :)
I have a 525xc and now I need a new rod a new piston and a new cilider because she blows up wen runing XD
Tiago Alves س
thanks god for 2 stroke engine this 4stroke engine is hard to maintenance
I can do this, I just don't have the nerves to do it... Certainly every 100 hours, that's so often ;o
great job man!!
How many hours on that peestone?
My friend changed it on his EXC450 at 130hrs
Lets see engine burns oil, piston skirt coating is gone and piston scratched. Smart money in a case like this would be see if the cylinder could just be honed and still maintain proper clearance to a stock piston diameter...which is unlikely.So at that point you would buy an oversized piston and have the cylinder bored and honed to the correct (RA) surface average roughness and to the correct piston skirt to cylinder wall clearance for the oversized piston. Then install piston rings in bore square about 3/4" from the top of the bore and make sure the gaps between the ends of the rings are correct (file to fit). This is the only way to ensure proper ring seal and piston life.Congrats on doing the job yourself, but to present this as a tutorial on how to replace a piston and rings, without including this information, is kind of a disservice to others IMO
1bottlefed HERE IS THE INFORMATION............The cylinder has a Nickasil coating on the bore. Don't hone it. If there is scoring you need to replace the cylinder.
@@Dazza. You can actually resurface the nickasil coating after boring it. There are couple of places that do those in europe, and the cost is cheaper than to buy a new cylinder. Also, for the piston skirt marks, theyre not looking good on this piston, but anything less than that and i'd say theres a chance the cylinder wall wouldnt be scoured, as nickasil is really hard coating.
Loool Just take a hammer and just hammer some where on the bike thats how I feel like doing! :D Well gongrats on your succses BLDHs Much löve!!
Dónde puedo conprar unas piesas de motor KTM 450 2009
this is going to squirt :D haha nice one
Dont put oil on the bolds the oil dont get pressure and may broke your block then you tite them (i dont know to speak very good English sorry)
How many hours had that piston done?
