... I've not changed the seals on a Duke, but I've done a dozen other bikes and so far never needed the special seal driver mfrs specify to drive new seals...
Tony, But you are very mechanically inclined. I would say that driving the seal with anything other than a proper driver takes a fair amount of skill (and...
... Most home mechanics don't have the proper seal drivers and manage quite well without. I've found shaving the outside of the old seal down slightly turns it...
You guys are in the minority. Most "home mechanics" limit ourselves to oil changes and valve adjustments. I won't do seal changes myself. Erwin F. Estrada ...
... Not amongst my circle of friends, an awful lot of people I know would tackle something like this. Perhaps there's more of a culture of home maintenance in...
... Those of us who grew up with Brit bikes had no choice! Motorcycle Mechanics was a big-selling magazine when I was a teenager, everything you needed to know...
... Erwin- the reason you cannot do an oil seal change is that you WILL not do it. Tony has given an excellent guide to the process that anyone can follow. ...
Look, guys, I am not trying to discourage anyone from trying to do their own work. I adjust my own valves, replace clutches, etc., and have some special...
Hey, I must agree that i would love to be capable of changing my fork seals by myself, but honestly i don't think anything good would come out from any try...
hi all, i am looking for an engine for a 2001 duke 2 640cc, preferably in the uk if anyone got a spare 4 sale????? or even know where i can find one , any help...
... They come up fairly oftej on eBay. At present there is a breaker in Birmingham dismantling a 2006 SM, may or may not have the motor which may or may not be...
I bought a 2001 duke 2 a few months back. It's my second duke. My buddy had some gutted stock cans so I'm using them. I replaced the air filter, took off the...
Perhaps your needle jet is in someway plugged. From some left over 'corrosion' which was loosened but not removed and is now responsible for a blockage in that...
... Was the O ring you replaced *identical* to the old one in diameter and section? I assume this is the one under the slide holder? If it wasn't, or isn't...
Thanks Tony. When cleaning the carb I removed the fuel/air screw. There was a washer and spring but no o-ring. Maybe it was deep inside the carb but I'll check...
Ordered the o-ring from Mcmaster Carr. Took out the fuel/air screw and the o-ring on there looked good. Replaced it nevertheless. Just took it for a spin and...
All of my instructions for reassembling the carburetor state to copy down the settings for all the screw type adjustments; screw them in and count the number...
... Damn. Nothing's ever easy. ... Is this with the stock pilot jet or the 47.5? How did you arrive at 3T out on the PS? 1.5-2.25 would be normal unless you...
I finally got around to picking up some orange KTM hose to replace the tank breather. What do you do on the side that goes in the steering stem? What does it...
... Theres a little plastic nipple attached to the steering head but all it does is hold the hose in place. It has a slot cut into it to allow any overflow to...
... It just hangs down inside the stem, the idea being that any spilled fuel is directed away from the hot engine. D1 had a hose fitted as above from the...
Has anyone seen or done any mods to allow a bigger battery on D2 than the puny little YTZ10S? My most recent has lasted <2yrs, probably due to intermittent use...
... I gave up on this, after doing some more measuring and thinking. To fit any bigger battery would have meant lots of work, setting a new battery box into...
I have a 2001 Duke II and my chain is extremely loose. I took it to KTM dealr and they said i needed a new chain and sprockets. Any advice on what i should...
Ragina chain, KTM hard parts sprokets. I've been getting great life with these. ... From: Sergio <sergiof44@...> To: KTMDuke@yahoogroups.com Sent: Mon,...
Ditto. The KTM sprockets are light and strong. Regina Gold or DID ERV3 on the chain. There are newer-tech sprockets that incorporate a steel tooth ring...
Dp I need any special tools to remove and replace rear tire/sprocket? How about any technique to align the wheel correctly once I put it back on the bike? ... ...
