00:00If you are a owner of a KTM 390 and 200, this video is for you
00:04Basically, I am going to talk about how to maintain a KTM
00:09I am Palvin, welcome to DriveSpark Tamil
00:12In a KTM 390 or 200, the most common issue is the fork
00:19Many people do not maintain the fork
00:24If you are going on a highway ride, the inner tube of the fork may have small dust particles
00:36This may cause a 4-coil seal to leak
00:39This happens rarely, but it happens
00:43How to protect a 4-coil seal from damage?
00:46First, the fork must be kept clean
00:49You may think that you cannot maintain it for a long time
00:52Now, I am going to give a protective sleeve for the fork
00:57This is to protect the inner tube of the fork from damage
01:05You can use this protective sleeve
01:08If you look at a 4-coil seal, there will be a rubber seal on top of it
01:13That rubber seal will become hard
01:16The seal will also be damaged
01:21So, this is one thing
01:23If you are going on an off-road, even if you cannot wash the entire vehicle
01:29If you keep the fork clean, the dust deposit will be reduced
01:35So, the 4-coil seal will last a long time
01:38Next is the oil in the fork
01:41The reason why you should change the oil every once in a while is
01:47The engine of the vehicle will consume more oil
01:53As you know, our roads are very bumpy
01:56Since the oil is working very well
02:00The oil quality and viscosity will go down
02:07So, don't keep the oil in your mind
02:12Change the oil every once in a while
02:15If you do this once in a year, it will be safe for you and the vehicle
02:21You can drive safely for a long time
02:24This is the 4-coil seal
02:26Next is the brake safety
02:28When it comes to safety, many people drive at 5000-6000 km
02:35If you drive at 2000-3000 km, it will be safe
02:45KTM, OEM, EBZ, Vestra brake pads are available in the market
02:55But, if you ask me if I will drive at that distance
02:59It is a question mark
03:01So, drive at 2000-3000 km every once in a while
03:05Otherwise, the metal will stick to the disc plate
03:11Next is the engine
03:13If you drive at 3000 km every once in a while
03:21Change the oil and clean the throttle body
03:25If you do a proper general service
03:28You can protect your engine for more than 60,000 km
03:34You can use it for a long time
03:36You might have seen a coolant vessel
03:39Around the engine cylinder
03:41There will be two rubber washers
03:46The coolant will go inside and the rubber will turn into plastic
03:52In the long term, it will turn into plastic
03:55It will get overheated
03:57The coolant seal rubber washer will get damaged
04:00And the coolant will mix with the engine oil
04:02So, basically, if you do a general service for a year
04:07If you do a check-up
04:09In the long term, there is no possibility of engine seizing
04:12You can do this
04:14This is the major issue
04:17Next is the throttle body
04:19You can't clean the throttle body properly
04:23Clean the throttle body and the injector
04:26Clean the fuel pump properly
04:29And if you check the air filter properly
04:32Your engine will last longer
04:37These are the basic common issues
04:39The next common issue is the electrical wiring harness
04:43Basically, the wiring harness
04:46The wiring harness won't last for a long time
04:53Because there will be a lot of temperature
04:56So, when the current passes through the wiring
04:59Temperature will be produced and it will harden
05:02So, in the long term
05:04There is a 100% possibility that the wire will get damaged in a weak spot
05:09Next is the engine oil
05:12If you open the engine oil can
05:17The engine oil will start to oxidize
05:20So, if you check the engine oil
05:25If it is 3000 km or 3 months to 6 months
05:30You can't run it properly
05:32Because the oil has a shell life and a service life
05:35In some oils, it has a shell life of 2 to 3 years
05:42And the service life is 2 years after you open the can
05:46So, we don't notice the manufacturing time and use it
05:51So, the basic thing is
05:54Because you have a KTM
05:563000 km to 3 months or 6 months
06:00Check it properly
06:02Whether you are using the vehicle or not
06:04Your vehicle will be 100% safe
06:07Next is the tires
06:09When you buy the tires, you have to check the manufacturing
06:12If the tire is hard or soft
06:14Because it will crack
06:16So, when you take a long distance
06:18The tire won't get warm
06:20There is a possibility that the tire will blast in a weak spot
06:23There is a possibility that it will get punctured
06:25So, to avoid all these
06:27When you do these steps
06:29Your vehicle will be safe
06:31Don't mind it
06:33Let the vehicle run
06:35So, in the coolant
06:39We are using bio-material coolants
06:43For example
06:45Fluorescent green, dark, milky
06:47Mixed coolant
06:49That's why it's called coolant
06:51So, after 1 year
06:53There will be an algae formation
06:55And salt will be created
06:57So, this salt
06:59In the radiator
07:01The salt will deposit in the fence
07:03So, the blockage will be blocked
07:05So, the cooling will be less
07:07At that time, the life of the engine
07:09Will be less
07:11In the long term, the radiator will fail
07:13New radiator will be replaced
07:15Or
07:17In the radiator, there are tubes
07:19That tube
07:21That material
07:23Will be hardened
07:25And where there is a weak spot
07:27So, in this
07:29For 6 months
07:31Check if the coolant is level
07:33And if the coolant is good
07:35If it is replaceable
07:37You need to replace
07:39Otherwise, every 1 year
07:41Mandatorily, you need to change the coolant
07:43This is good for your engine
07:45Next is
07:47Radiator fan
07:49There are 2 types of radiator fan
07:51Sometimes, the engine temperature
07:53Will be high
07:55If the fan is not working
07:57There will be 2 issues
07:59Either the fan will be damaged
08:01Or the thermal sensor will be damaged
08:03So, you need to check
08:05For proper diagnostic
08:07For showroom or garage
08:09For example, we are at APD
08:11So, they will check the technology
08:13And diagnose the issue
08:15And provide the required
08:17Requirements
08:19Not only that
08:21The fan is weak
08:23The fan needs to run
08:25At this speed
08:27For this temperature
08:29The fan is running
08:31But the temperature is high
08:33At that budget
08:35The fan is not running at the right speed
08:37So, the cooling is not proper
08:39So, the fan is spinning slowly
08:41So, it may be because of the dust
08:43Or the fan is weak
08:45So, you need to
08:47Replace the fan
08:49When you do this
08:51Instead of spending a lot
08:53You need to rectify your vehicle
08:55In a small amount
08:57So, you can save
08:59The radiator side and the engine
09:01This is one thing
09:03Don't go to multiple fuel points
09:05Stick to one particular fuel point
09:07Where the performance is good
09:09Where you get good mileage
09:11Stick to the particular brand
09:13And the particular fuel station
09:15When you go on long rides
09:17It is not possible
09:19But in some places
09:21You can go based on the petrol density
09:25So, when you use that particular brand
09:27And give it continuously
09:29Your engine will be tuned up
09:31For that particular petrol and octane level
09:33So, in the long term
09:35The engine will be long
09:37Petrol tank and corrosion
09:39As much as possible
09:41The hole in the petrol tank
09:43That hole
09:45You need to clean it
09:47Clean it
09:49So, at that time
09:51When the passage block is there
09:53The water will get dirty
09:55So, when you go to fill the tank
09:57The water will get dirty
09:59You can get rust
10:01Petrol
10:03By mistake
10:05You can get rust
10:07And fuel pump damage
10:09So, in such places
10:11If you maintain it properly
10:13In the long term
10:15Next one is
10:17Spot plug
10:19You need to check it every 6 months
10:21You need to replace it every 1 year
10:23Because
10:25When you drive for a long time
10:27The consumption
10:29And the carbon deposit
10:31Is due to the spot plug
10:33So, you need to check it
10:35So, these are the main components
10:37Your KTM
10:39Duke 300 or RC 300
10:41Long lasting
10:43So, this is the
10:45KTM you need to save
10:47This information is enough
10:49Stay tuned with Drivespot Tamil

10:53To your KTM friends
10:55Bye
