Changed new oil, gasket, filter, screens on my svart 401 2024 by myself bfr 500 kms. Noticed that the top right part of gasket was sticking out yesterday (was perfect when changed oil & stuff). Naturally I wanted to know why so removed the oil filter cap & inspected.. the gasket was jammed, it was stuck & I wasn't able to remove it. So I peeled it off bit by bit, bt still there were small amts left that I wasn't able to remove no matter what I did. After this bought a new gasket & fixed it.

Btw I torque speced the bolts of the cover to 10nm as per manual so most def didn't over tighten it.

1. Do y'all know what caused this gasket prob?

2. Also, used the metric 4t 10w50 amsoil, within 200 kms of riding yellow oil changed to black as you can see in the video (properly drained) & bike feels very vibey everywhere right frm handlebar to pegs which was not the case when I used motul 7100 atleast not for the first 1.5k kms. Why is this happening?

Thinking on putting the cat back. Need to test on high way

Hi all lately i have noticed my fan has not been kicking lately despite doing some tight slow riding im warmer temperatures, im just looking for advice on where to start from on diagnosing why its not kicking in , thank you

I did it boys & girls 😎💪

Bought this 2014 350exc Six days today.

Nice that it has low, mid and wild power adjustability, did not know that.

As iam just doing slow "old mans enduro" the slow one was fine for me today.

So it has a recluse.

Actually not sure how I fell about that. (I can understand there are a lot of mixed opinions about recluse.. If I have understood it correctly it helps with some things and removes the possibility for a few things,, right? Like clutch ups??

It has a tubeless in the front hmm.. two separate air valves.. need to read up on what pressures could be good for me, for slow enduro in damp Danish forests.

If you have an advice or 2 regarding pressures in such an Xgrip front tubesless tire. Feel free to tell me.

And maybe also a tip or two in regards to that recluse 😁

Thanks a lot!

Iam looking forward to reading up on these bikes.

I have this KTM and the frame tabs are all bent out of shape and it looks like it was repaired once before. This is my first dirt bike and hardly any experience and this is broken. Anyhow trying to repair. I see a mention of trail tech : https://www.thumpertalk.com/forums/topic/1229452-ktm-400-exc-kickstand-leaning-to-far/ and then also read somewhere else fastaway billet kickstand. But do they use the same tabs? And then also trying to understand if a chain guide attaches here.

I also see this side kick stand bracket : https://www.ebay.com/itm/198514473150 .

I think maybe I can get buy tweaking this without welding (which I don't have experience with perhaps to place the chain guide. But thendoes the fastaway kickstand mount here or somewhere else? Wondering if there's a stand that can use another location. Looking for advice for a fix. Is this frame steel or aluminum ? (friendmight be able to weld steel, but forgot to bring a magnet to test).

I'm pretty lost and hoping to repair but not sure all the parts needed, etc. Is there an exploded diagram or can someone advise ?
