It's time to change the clutch plates on the KTM Duke 390 (250) as all that slipping of the clutch in traffic and playing with stunting has work them away. The first sign of clutch wear is when you get slip at peak torque - up at the top end of the rev range, when the bike stop accelerating even though the revs increase. You can adjust the clutch cable to correct this but eventually you will run out of adjustment on the cable. The clutch plates are easy to replace and are normal consumables on the bike along with oil, filters, coolant, brake fluid, brake pads and chain and sprockets.

Masterful work, David! Watching you is like meditation for me. I pray for your well-being so that you can continue teaching us more! Quick question: Would using the quickshifter result in quickly worn clutch plates?

@MotoMirius 2 месяца назад

Thank you, much appreciated. A quick shifter is likely to increase wear - it is designed to help win races, not for road riding, so winning is worth the increased cost, but it should not significantly increase wear since there is an ignition cut creating a momentary loss of power at the time it happens.

Great video David, you always show the job as it is done very simple and it looks like everybody can done it. I have two questions: a) is it need to drain the oil from the bike before start doing the job? and b) I can see that you didn't use any silicone gasket is it necessary to use it or not?. Thanks again and congratulations...!

@MotoMirius 3 года назад

Thanks Pablo. The reason the bike is on its side is so that you don't spill any oil. No, not necessary to use a liquid gasket and I would not recommend - you could use something like gasgacinch to stick it in place. Be very careful with silicone gasket - it must be one suitable for use with a motorbike engine. If you use the wrong type of silicone you can cause significant engine damage.

@yavorgochev5838 2 месяца назад

Great channel! I absolutely love how detail your explanations are and how you aim to show every angle with the camera when assembling/disassembling a part! Thanks for all the info! On another topic, I have an issue with my 390 duke, 2017, when riding the bike it goes to neutral for 2-3 seconds for no reason and then reengages the same gear, sometimes it stalls and i have to start the engine again. Any clues what it might be causing this? It is quite anoint and dangerous when riding it. The problem started after an oil change, the oil was over the maximum, but this could just be a coincidence. Thanks in advance!

@MotoMirius 2 месяца назад

Thanks. The way motorcycle gearboxes work is very different from say a car gearbox. With bikes the gearbox is always in gear unless it is in neutral - it can't slip into neutral between gears or in gear like a car gearbox can. So if it goes "into neutral", it is most likely the clutch slipping - so when it re-engages it is still in the same gear it was before. If it does it in the same gear repeatedly, it could be a broken gear or worn out gearbox, but not my first assumption. There are many causes of stalling, but in my opinion, the most likely cause is the one that is by far the most unpopular - user error with the clutch. People are really resistant to this one because everyone wants it to be the bikes fault - but this is not a standard road bike engine. What you are telling me is pointing me towards the clutch. I'm going to assume that a motorcycle wet clutch type oil was used and not a car oil because car oils will make the clutch slip. Good luck with the diagnosis!

@yavorgochev5838 2 месяца назад

@@MotoMirius, thanks! I spend a few hours disassembling everything around the clutch and there were no visible wears or problems. I started thinking about the stalling problem, what might be causing it and it turned out that there was a bad connection going from the battery.

Hi and thank you. If you are working on your bike I always recommend buying a set of spanners or sockets as it's cheaper than buying them individually. But if you do need to buy then just measure across the flats of the bolt or nut with a ruler to find the size. I don't have the measurement off the top of my head, unfortunately.

Thanks. Changing gasket isn't optional in most cases, because the old one will either tear as you take it off or be too hard so won't reseal. Your KTM dealer can supply them.

@tamarapristupa1703 2 года назад

Mirius, Excellent videos. I ask you from Argentina, is it dangerous to put all the edges down or up on the metal plates? After assembling everything I know that I put all the edges to one side but I don't remember which one. On the other hand, after putting the shaft that holds the cable and assembling it, the clutch fails to operate well and the gears hardly fit, what should I check? i have a duke 390 2016.

@MotoMirius 2 года назад

I'm afraid the only answer is to take it apart again - I suspect you will find that the top plate is not properly seated - this is part of the slipper clutch and if it's not fully seated (it can stick a bit) the clutch will not operate properly - but this is a ten minute job to check and you can check the plates at the same time. So long as they are all the same way it should be fine, but potentially fitting them incorrectly could cause an issue. Of course, I am assuming that the cable has been reset. Good luck with this, with the plates properly fitted there should be no issue. Check also that the final plate fits on yours as it does in mine - I suspect it will be the same clutch unit.

@NzHavoc52 2 года назад

Hi there, great video. I'm at the point of putting the clutch cover back on after replacing the plates (EBC) and it doesn't quite sit flush - seems like there is something maybe sticking out. I also noticed that my pressure plate isn't sitting as flush as yours (there's like 0.5cm gap where it can't be screwed in any further). Any ideas what might be causing it to stick out?

@MotoMirius 2 года назад

Thanks. You need to make sure that the pressure plate slips down the ramps, it needs to twist into place - it's easy to have it sitting up too high.

@NzHavoc52 2 года назад

@dg5433 3 года назад

Nice job there. I race a non slipper clutch 2015 model rc390 and its done 10000 race kms with no clutch issues at all. Do you think the slipper clutch might have something to do with the premature wear on yours?

@MotoMirius 3 года назад

Thanks. I attribute the wear to two factors - low speed traffic filtering which requires regular slipping of the clutch and basic stunt practice where slipping is part of the learning process (and not at all necessary for the proficient)

@g0ret Год назад

Thank you for the instructions. I need to replace the clutch lever arm (clutch side, not handlebar side) and I assume it is possible to do so without removing the clutch cover, right? I watched your videos and it seems like it's possible, but I just wanted to double check. Thanks a lot!

@MotoMirius Год назад

Yes, no problem at all with that. Sometimes you can remove the lever without changing even the cable adjustment, but sometimes you just need a little slack in the cable to unhook the lever and replace it.

@MotoMirius 2 года назад

If you are referring to the safety tab which prevents the cable leaving the holder, then this will break sooner or later. You can buy a complete new lever from your KTM dealer - part no 90232048133. Or you can leave it. I don't see any practical way that the cable can ever accidentally leave the cage unless the cable is really badly adjusted.

@MotoMirius 3 года назад

Hi and thanks. If you want to make a pen mark then do so but bear in mind the plates are oily so you'd want to clean that off - you are adding an extra step which make the process more complicated. It's pretty simple as it is, just put the plates all back the same way round. As a beginner it's a good lesson that stamped plates (like most washers) have a rounded face and sharp face and there is a right way round! Good luck

Hello, I would like to ask you. We have ktm duke 390 2019, the problem is, when I pull the clutch lever and downshift or upshift then I feel the little kick in to the clutch lever. Bike fell of to the left side one time during wheelie lesson at low speed. Cable looks fine same as chain tension, but when i tighten the chain as manual says, then the kick in to the clutch lever is stronger. Thanks for any advice :)

@MotoMirius 2 года назад

The most obvious cause would to adjust the clutch cable. It sounds as though it’s not fully releasing the clutch when you pull it in. Check the lever and cable again as it might have been moved in the crash.

@MotoMirius 2 года назад

If you've run out of adjustment on the clutch cable then its because the clutch plates are worn out. I would guess 95% the KTM service are right. Now I would expect much longer life from a clutch but it depends how and where the bike is ridden. If you are often slipping the clutch because you are riding in traffic then this can wear the clutch out quickly. I find the clutch plates wear out very quickly on this bike, but it is a quick job to change.

I don't carry a passenger. It will depend on weight of rider and passenger.

It could be, but worn plates tend to slip which makes it easier to change gear as they don't properly engage. More likely a gearbox issue, or it could simply be that the cable isn't properly adjusted. This sort of diagnosis is very unreliable over the internet - much better hands on.

@MotoMirius Год назад

@@ladyshep No, not normal. That said the 125 has a different clutch from the 390 but even so, these are not Ducati. Are you sure it's from the clutch? These are typically a little rattly at the top end/ timing chain (which runs next to the clutch).

Hi David Vernon here. Do you have any videos on replacing the timing chain tensioner? Looking at doing mine and don't want to over tighten it or under. Looking for that just right tension on it. Thank you.

@MotoMirius 2 года назад

@@vernonhochstetler7608 OK thanks. I might see about buying one so I can do a video. I'm of very mixed opinions about fitting them - I see them mentioned a lot on the forums but manufacturers switched to auto tensioners on road bikes for very good reasons. I'm glad you asked. Since it will take a while before any video is posted, standard install is: Fit the tensioner, rotate the engine forward (turn the back wheel in gear), turn in the tensioner until you just feel it touch, back off a quarter turn and lock off). Don't even consider fitting one unless you can guarantee that you will regularly check and adjust - these are a race type application not fit and forget.

@vernonhochstetler7608 2 года назад

@@MotoMirius okay thank you very much. My bike is new only 4K on it. I don’t plan on doing it right away. I been told they are better then the auto ones and they switched because people did not check them often enough.

@MotoMirius 2 года назад

@@vernonhochstetler7608 Yes, that is exactly why they switched them. The average rider struggles to correctly oil and adjust the chain to the rear wheel. Incorrectly adjusting or failing to remember to adjust the timing chain will destroy the engine. In a racing context, there are checklists and things are checked and adjusted regularly - on the street not so much . They are something I would recommend to engineers or people who are used to the routines enforced by racing. I don't recommend them to the average street rider who want them because they are cool (not cool to older riders who remember them as stock fitting) - six months later, will they still remember to adjust them? Remember also that fitting will invalidate the KTM warranty.

Dear, what different to use motorex SAE 15/50 Formula Synthetic Blend with motorex SAE 15/50 Top Speed Synthetic Performance for Duke 390 2018 ?

One is synthetic the other is part synthetic. Fully synthetic is typically more expensive.

How does the blown clutch gasket effect the bike? Do we need to replace it at a certain point?

@MotoMirius 2 года назад

You will lose oil, and it can create damage on the gasket surface - both of which can trash the engine. Gaskets are designed to be one use and aren't overly expensive (but not cheap either). You should expect to replace every time you go into the clutch as they will harden. If you are racing etc and have the clutch cover off a lot then there are other things you can do but then you are much more on top of oil levels etc than the average street rider.

@MotoMirius 3 года назад

I'm not sure you can. If I recall correctly the 250 may have the same bottom end as the 390, but I think the 200 is an overbored 125 so shares the same clutch design as the 125.

So I could see the chain moving left and right and it's about 5mm total movement. Is that really bad. That's when the chain is moving with the engine.
