Hey, could you make a video on how to mount the horn tucked up behind where the kick starter would be? Or even make a specialized mounting arm and vid?
So It seems KTM did update the plastic gears to metal for the smaller displacement engines. The big bore bikes have larger gears that they left plastic for the 2023 model, so I think the only choice for the big bore bikes are aftermarket. Right?
Just to clarify, water pump gear is timed 1 to 1 with the crankshaft, it's not timed to the camshaft. You don't need to find TDC, just line up the marks.
Hey mate where would I be able to source some ktm 530 upgraded oil pump gears? I mean to say do you know if they make upgraded gears for this model still? Thanks.
Cool. I was just wondering if the 450/500 had these gears. I replaced them on my 250 a couple years ago. I’ll do this when I install my kickstart kit 👍 My friend just had his 530 rebuilt. 200hrs and the valves were still in middle spec. The gears broke and blew it though.
From what I've read, it's not an issue on the Big Bore bikes. Only on the 250s and 350s 2015 - 2022. I have a 2022 450 and I don't think I'm going to mess with it.
Another great video by Taco Moto. Nice job!
9:14 Bolt with the thick copper washer - is that still the crank TDC locking device ?
Yes

Good idea

Guess I’ll add this to the winter time To-Do list😅
That’s how you do a tutorial.
Cheers

Excellent!
Do you have those for the 2012-2016 bikes as well?
Does the 23’ 450 XCF-W have the plastic gears? Different forums say yes and no 🤔
See video description for fitment 🤘🏽
Where did you get that “T-handle” torque wrench? The red handle one.
Was thinking the same thing. Like it!
2024 fe501s still plastic gears ?
Does 2022 KTM 500 excf has plastic gear as well or they fixed it for these new ones

After the engine is properly timed,Do i just pull out the balancer shaft gear?
If you need to
What’s that torque T handle you are using?
Search the Google for t-handle torque wrench. Forget where we got ours
What's with a lot of the bikes having those stupid plastic oil pump gears?
Low cost, low weight, low torque demand
Do the plastic gears fail??
@@lonestar27 they can and they have
Beta recommends to change the plastic gears at 80 to 100 hours of use. They are not good for long term durabilty. @@lonestar27

Checked my 500exc 18 at around 200 hrs and the tooth were starting to be deformed.
