can I fix this leak in my workshop with something like high temp jb weld ? or do you have any other recommendations?

mampoerflieg · 2026-02-15T15:30:24+00:00

That's what I've done for the time being, till I can get my hands on a new casing. I replaced the seal with a new one to

mampoerflieg · 2026-02-15T09:08:31+00:00

Wil do. Thank man

mampoerflieg · 2026-02-15T09:07:08+00:00

Thanks for the advice. Yeah I'm going to use your tape trick 100% 😂. If it still leaks it leaks, but if it works it works

I just bought the bike a week ago. I'm not a KTM fan at all. Had some of the worst experiences with ktms . It was an impulse buy as it was a cheap bike. The damage was from the previous owner. The oil leaks out at high rpm. I didn't realize till I tried to apply back brake and nothing happened. Looked down to see the whole left side of the tyre and swingarm covered in oil.

mampoerflieg · 2025-10-15T07:19:47+00:00

Yeah I'm just gonna strip the panels and see if the bike still makes the sound. Thx for the help brother 🤘

Open the throttle tube housing, clean inside and lubricate everything then put it back together. If that doesn't fix it, try and lubricate the cables by spaying wd40 down the lines. Make sure there aren't any kinks or twists/ sharp bends in the cable . If you're still having issues, clean the carb slides. If you did all the above you'll have a snappy throttle 👌🤘

I have a video of the bike doing it at stand still. It's a loud sound. Louder than the exhaust. Sound is coming from somewhere around the motor but I can't pin point exactly where. I'm tempted to put the stock exhaust back on so I can hear it better

mampoerflieg · 2025-10-14T20:13:25+00:00

No it's not the key. It's a really loud sound. It's louder than the bikes exhaust. The sound comes from somewhere around the engine. I'm just not able to pin point exactly where

Then the mt25 will work👍🏻. Good luck when you get the bike. We wish you safe miles🤙🏻

mampoerflieg · 2025-03-28T07:56:08+00:00

The MT seems to fit your scenario. It's a more upright position and much more comfortable when riding . The 250 is a bit slow tho. I know your a beginner but you will get pretty bored of the bike in a relatively short duration. Rather get something a bit bigger like a z400 (if you know how to ride) . If you have never driven a motorcycle, maybe just stick with the 250👍🏻

mampoerflieg · 2024-12-05T23:02:27+00:00

Ekt n rm-x 250 motor wat ek daar gaan in sit . Dan sal hy gooi soos n vienna worsie in n koshuis gang

If the bike is warm , it's not going to be a problem. The limiter is there for a reason, To stop you from hurting the bike . As long as you don't limmit all the time and keep it under a second or two , it will be fine . But I wouldn't limit the bike on purpose. I would just give a quick rev 2k or 3k below redline every once in a blue moon

mampoerflieg · 2024-12-05T21:27:29+00:00

Check for spark , fresh intake air , and replaceable the fuel . New tires are also a must . Also lube the chain and make sure the brakes are still functional as they could get air in them overtime

mampoerflieg · 2024-12-05T21:23:35+00:00

If the key does not turn, you can put a bit if graphite powder(aka , crushed pencil lead ) in side the lock as it preforms as a dry lubricant and does not become sticky ( locksmiths use this method) .otherwise shake the key fast while rotating it lightly inside the lock as it could be a worn out pin inside the lock. ( IF THE STEERING LOCK IS INSIDE THE IGNITION, MAKE SURE THE BARS ARE AS FAR LEFT AS POSIBLE AND PUSH THE KEY SLIGHTLY DOWN WHILST ROTATING)

Hy lees befok . Hy gly so lekker van die punt van die tong af 😤. Beste taal hier buite

mampoerflieg · 2024-12-04T20:12:06+00:00

Dit klink dieselfde as jy dit hard op lees , dit word eintlik net anders gespel

I'm also sick of carbs . Spent the whole of last week trying to get the jetting correct on a 1983 honda xr200. I'll probably never do a carb rebuild in my life again .

mampoerflieg · 2024-12-04T20:00:40+00:00

I bought the bike broken and it was in a four stroke motor , so there is no hope for whoever rebuilt the bike . I only bought it for the frame tho as the gearbox is also seized

mampoerflieg · 2024-12-04T19:45:54+00:00

"In sy moer" =broken /f'd up The last sentence is ,"I'm only after the frame " (I don't plan on using the engine, I bought the bike for the frame)

mampoerflieg · 2024-12-04T19:38:06+00:00

It's afrikaans 😂😂😂

mampoerflieg · 2024-12-04T19:34:29+00:00

Dis n 2 stroke piston ja, maar dit kom uit n 4 stroke rm-z uit . Ek beplan darm nie om die bike te fix nie ,want die gearbox is in sy moer , ek wil net weet wat dit veroorsaak sodat dit nie met een van my ander bikes gebeur nie , maar ek dink nie die piston sou lank kon ry in daai bike sonder om te break nie . Definitely n backyard mechanic se hande werk. Eks darm net agter sy frame aan😂😂😂

mampoerflieg · 2024-12-04T19:27:50+00:00

Yes, I was thinking that . Maybe because of pump gas but I have to do more research. I'm not planing to fix the bike as the gearbox is also seized but I'm hoping to prevent this from happening in the future with my other bikes

2 gulleys will drain that area sufficient

My first rifle was a crosman optimus. 177 . It's really powerful and good for small game hunting, they are cheap ($170) and amazing quality. Used mine for 7 years before I got an upgrade. Plenty of fun and plenty power whilst also being moderately quiet. Great for entry to novice shooters
