Freeride primul furtun de racire spart

Asa cum ati vazut intr-un post anterior am protejat furtunul de racire a Freeride-ului cu o spirala de otel, care a oferit un grad de protectie impotriva loviturilor.


La ultima iesire cu trupa am facut ceva pregatiri, sau track scouting pentru un eveniment si dupa ceva baraiala pe dealuri am intrat intr-o vale.
Am dat de un parau secat care parea destul de interesant pentru a-l adauga la traseu.
Inaintand pe parau in sus, am dat de o treapta din stanca de aproc 60cm, nu prea inalta sa nu poti urca, dar cu niste alte stanci colturoase si taioase pe partea dreapta.
Deci, am urcat prin acea stramtoare, dar cand am ajuns sus, imediat am observat apa care curgea din motor. Am atins acele stanci laterale la urcare si mi-au sectionat, respectic mi-au sfartecat furtunul complet.
Shit happens...Spirala de protectie s-a indoit.
Evident ca inaintarea a fost imposibila fara lichid de racire asa ca m-am intors, impingand Freeride-ul pana la intrarea in vale, de unde m-au ajutat prietenii cu o tractare pana in basecamp.

Protectia noua pentru furtunul de racire gasiti aici.

KTM timing marks for Cams

Did you ever search the timing marks on a KTM which indicate the correct positition of the Cams in TDC? Well, here's the secret: Loook in the opposite side of the Timing chain for the two marks which have to be both visible when in correct position. If necessary turn you Cam until both marks are visible.

How to tension your Cam Chain using a mechanic Timing Chain tensioner

How to tension your Cam Chain using a mechanic Timing Chain tensioner... this one is from Mino-Racing This is the buddy from Mino-Racing which I mounted in my KTM four stroke. KTM uses from 2006 onwards a hydraulic Cam Chain Tensioner which gets faulty after only a few hours. I guess it is mandatory to change the original hydraulic timing chain tensioner with a mechanical one to avoid break downs in the middle of nowhere! In this short Video you can see all action it takes to tension your Cam Chain. You have to pre-tension it by hand first until the Cam Chain is firm and afterward give it another half to three quaters of a turn with the hex. After that you can fix the counter hex and be shure no problems will occur. Check your timing chain tension every 20 hours or with any valve clearance check!

That's the little sucker causing trouble.... Should be changed from the First day when you get your KTM. Mine resisted 80 hours! Changed it with a mechanical by Mino Racing. Read about it here .
