Part 2 (valve stem seals) - Is your KTM 500 4 Stroke Burning Oil?...
Part 3 (piston rings) - Is your KTM 500 4 Stroke Burning Oil?...
In this video we launch our series on how to diagnose and fix a KTM four stroke 500 that's burning oil. Burning oil is distinct from burning coolant (which has different causes entirely and different symptoms but is sometimes confused).
Basically, oil can get into the combustion process in two ways. 1. Leak down around the valve stem seals, or 2. Leak up past the piston rings.
In part one (this video) we show you how to do a proper leak-down test to measure compression on your cylinder. In part 2, we show you how to actually change bad valve stem seals. In part 3, we show you how to go a bit deeper and change your piston rings as well.
I suggest that you follow these videos in order if you're trying to diagnose a bike that's burning oil as I break it down into the simplest test and resolve method. If you're looking just for tips on valve stem seals or piston rings, feel free to jump to the appropriate video for all the details.
I'm also happy to answer any questions you might have about my experience with this process. Drop a comment below!
