    2005 ktm 525 exc..cutting out

    Fitted new stator coil. Bike starting very easy now. It runs a little cooler now to. I think the coil must have heated the oil. No more cutting out and it idles very smooth.

    Thanks allot guys, it's the two single wires. I think they charge the battery. One of the lobe things is also darker, looks like it got hotter than the others

    2005 ktm 525 exc..cutting out

    The stator coil is earthing. New one is R2800. To get it rewound is around R1000. But this will be the third time it will be getting fixed. Any ideas on what would cause it to malfunction?

    2005 ktm 525 exc..cutting out

    Won’t run with choke on. Unfortunately I don’t have spares to swap out. Colleague recons it is possible to check the coil behind the flywheel with a multimeter, ill have to google that. Thanks for input

    2005 ktm 525 exc..cutting out

    I tried starting my bike again last night and it starts fine and throttle response is very good when it is cold. Soon as it heats up it cuts out when I turn the throttle and won’t start again.

    2005 ktm 525 exc..cutting out

    HI My bike starts up and idles. When it gets hot it cuts out even whilst going down a hill in gear it won’t fire up. If I leave it for a while it starts again. I have done valve clearance, cleaned carburettor and checked plug. I have had similar problems before (bike battled to start and was...

    2005 ktm 525 exc exhaust valves rockers dont wiggle

    The little spring on the auto decompression mechanism broke. I put new spring and I also fitted all new seals, timing chain and cam shaft bearings. The bike is starting easily and goes well.

    2005 ktm 525 exc exhaust valves rockers dont wiggle

    Hi, Would it be possible that the auto decompression mechanism is hindering the exhaust valves from moving and has anyone heard of anyone having problems with the mechanism?

    I have downloaded the video on the 1/6 turn. Do you perhaps know if the auto decompressor is known to give hassles? Thanks very much for the info

    2005 ktm 525 exc exhaust valves rockers dont wiggle

    Not sure if they where loose while I was setting, I was focusing on not bending the feeler gauge. After setting gap there was no play. Bike starts easier when it’s hot (with happy button) and it starts first kick even when it’s cold.

    2005 ktm 525 exc exhaust valves rockers dont wiggle

    Hi, my bike sometimes doesn't start so easy (especially when cold). Its almost like it jams up and starter seems to weak to swing motor. I have cleaned carburetor, air cleaner, put new battery and new sparkplug. This did not work so I set valve clearance and it still battles to start. I noticed...

    2005 KTM 525 exc kick starts but does not start with electic starter.

    It turned out to be the coil that caused the starting problems. The pilot jet was dirty and the air screw setting was incorrect. Bike going well now.

    2005 KTM 525 exc kick starts but does not start with electic starter.

    The coil by the flywheel has been sent away for rewinding. The hooter and kill switch are together in a housing and the hooter doesnt work. I was thinking maybe this will have something to do with it.

    2005 KTM 525 exc kick starts but does not start with electic starter.

    I have taken the carb off and cleaned it, no boiling but ill try it. The spark plug is new but not the cap. Does anyone know what the air screw setting is? I think most bikes its all the way in and then two and a half turns out? Can i buy the spark plug cap from any bikeshop or must it be from...
