Title: KTM 200 gearbox oil Post by: Wiggy on January 08, 2013, 12,54:26 AM Just looking for some ideas.............
The oil I drain out of my KTM 200 gearbox looks like this after a few hundred km. (http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g186/wiggy_photos/IMG_2035_zps065ed809.jpg) Should it look like that ? Title: Re: KTM 200 gearbox oil Post by: Peter r on January 08, 2013, 01,33:52 AM Just looking for some ideas............. Drop a magnet in the oil and gently move it around, see if you get anything.

But being KTM it should have a sump Plug magnet. Looks to me like Clutch material or Water. Another thing , leave it for a week and see if any water comes to the top " Could be a water pump seal " Title: Re: KTM 200 gearbox oil Post by: Wiggy on January 08, 2013, 01,51:40 AM Just a bit of history.
Have already changed waterpump seal about a month ago. Have changed the aluminium clutch plates to steels some time ago.

that looks about normal mate my little 200 KDX would do that to it's oil pretty quick mostly the extra clutch work. Just keep an eye on your oil change intervals and remember fresh oil is cheap insurance.
