04 250exc trans problem
Published (2009-11-09 15:35:00)
On the KTM 4 strokes it is common to get a groaning noise when the clutch discs get glazed. What you need to do is narrow it down, is this "as the clutch is engaging" (still slipping) or is this just "in low gear". Take it out, get rolling in first, clutch fully engaged (lever out), does it make strange noises? If so you have a broken trans, if not you have a clutch that needs service

Who makes the best plastic?
Published (2009-11-09 20:54:00)
When you get new plastic, you will still need to buy your graphics kit. Your best bet for cost is here, on TT...they can get pretty much anything you need at a pretty good cost, including white plastic for the KTM. You will need to stay with the current style as the newer models are a bit different starting in 07 I believe.

Check if the clutch basket or hub has grooves. My ยด01 400 also has a grabby clutch, bad when the engine is cold but almost un-noticeable when the engine is hot. It had some grooves in the clutch hub (soft material) but almost none in the basket (quality steel). I did even out the grooves in the hub with a file, but that did not help in my case, I have read that sometimes the clutch ...

Some folks remove the mag cover to rotate the crank. What I do, and this works very well, is momentarily turn the engine over with the E-start in very short bursts and/or use the kick starter by hand and watch the valves move. When the exhaust valves are closing and the intake valves are already closed, check and adjust the intakes. When the intake valves are closing and the exhaust valves ...

I test rode both and while the 530 pulled stronger, I felt that the 450 was noticeably more nimble. I went with the 450 and am VERY happy with it. There are a number of threads here with tons of posts on this that may be helpful to you.

Over heating. Jetting is the first thing to get right. Contact JD Jetting and get their suggestions. OEM fan can and will kill the battery because you have not corrected the real problem. There are things you can do to help but you need to get the bike so it will only over heat in extreme conditions. Anyway. The stock stator does not have enough output to keep up with the OEM fan.

Has it been totally de-smogged? Where does the tank vent go? To catch can or frame? Make sure there is no check valve on tank vent hose and remove the check ball from the gas cap. Tank must vent freely in both directions. Make sure carb. vents are clear. It could even be an electrical issue.

well, I used to run a rad shop. The thermo is a heat sensitive spring operated item. It does open in varying degrees but over a very fine line. So its virtually open or closed except for that few degrees as its changing. The flow of water in a clean system is not the issue for cooling. The lack of air flow thru the rads to draw away the heat is the issue.
