A how-to guide for changing the oil on a Svartpilen 401, Vitpilen 401, or KTM 390 series (Duke, RC390, Adventure, etc.). Torque specs included. KTM/Husqvarna Oil change kit part number: 90238015010 Motorex 4T 15W50: 1.7 Liters
Super clear and concise video man, thank you! Just a heads up for anyone with a 2023, the torque specs are different according the owner's manual. The oil filter cover screws are 7.4lbf ft, the oil drain plug is 9.6lbf ft, and the oil screen screw plug is 8.1lbf ft.
Thx for the guide, Just wanted to ask you about the oil level, just got my new vit 401 this week, I haven't ridden it yet because I have to get the reg number plates, and I m a bit worried because there no oil showing even when I tilt it...
FYI, 15W-50 is "always" synthetic, and available from a variety of brand names. So Google around. I've seen it under the Napa brand, Valvoline, Gravely ... and of course, Mobile 1. Why Gravely, for example? It's used in some zero-turn hydro motors. In other words it doesn't matter if they call it hydro fluid or if they call it motor oil ... if it's 15W-50, then it's good.
