Follow us along on the journey and come out and ride with us. See you on the trail soon.
Making the change now after breaking my stock thottle housing. thanks for the video. One note, you can run ODI lock on grips with the stock setup. ODI has a separate cam you have to buy for it though. it does not come with the grip purchase like the others.
Ive seen other reviews where they destroy them in 20 hours or less. Most reveiws love the performance but always say they dont last much past that 15 to 20 hour life span. I just got a set for a KDX 200 hope I have experience your seeing. Literally this is the first video that raved about durability. All love the performance. I swear talking about tires is like talking about oil.......lol
Tengo problemas al salir con la motocross. Tengo que acelerarla mucho e ir usando el embrague, tengo desconfigurada la válvula de escape. Como la configuro?
I briefly test road a sef 500 and the engine breaking really felt strange to me like as soon as you let off it's naturally slowing down big time. Honestly wasn't a fan of it overall. Guess it could be a good thing once you get use to it. Have you ever ridden the 450 or 500 sef? Also any thoughts on the 2023 KTM 350 XC-F factory edition?
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I'm ranting to all of youtube not picking on Mak here, all of the SC2 reviews are "seat of the pants" reviews. The rant is that there are so many motorcycle dynos out there and no one has done at least a busch league dyno test comparison the SC2 vs Keihin for example, where they even use an oxygen sensor to tune the carbs. Also with a load bearing dyno, for example maintain a steady 15 ft-lbs of torque, one could do a fuel consumption test running a fuel line from a bottle to the carb and then measure time and the amount of fuel used from the bottle. From there you can calculate BSFC (brake specific fuel consumption) which would normalize results between the carbs. BSFC is the main indicator of efficiency and what OEM powertrain engineers use daily for mechanical and calibration optimization of combustion engines.
I agree with what you said about electron I bought a carburetor off of them guys about 4 years ago never could get it right and I've been tuning carburetors my whole life I'm 63 and both Kevin and Dave basically told me unfortunately there's nothing we can do but they didn't have no problem taking my money.
Unfortunately the guy that got the bike sold it and we were unable to finish the hard enduro build. It has incredible flame out issues owner grew frustrated and instead of figuring it out he opted to just go pick up a KTM 300 XC-W. But the bike has absolute potential. The suspension needs revalved for sure try and get a 2018 Suzuki RMX450z valve job done. And thank you for the support. I’ll have to subscribe to you as well I’d love to follow your build. My Instagram is a_kirk44 if you find me I’ll follow you back.
@@maksikkarenduro9218 at the risk of sounding older than I am... I found and hit up the instagram. So far I have a fair bit of work into the bike including suspension and lowering done. I am sussing out 4 ideas to polish the bike off and try to dirt focus it. I can rarely get mine to stall still but it takes effort.
I havent bought one yet but i am very curious to see one on a brand new bike and see what kind of hours it could get out of it just figure it might have a decent spec for fueling and if you chose a good ratio to premix your fuel at i think you could get more hours out of a 2 stroke and maybe even less wear for these older bikes etc
Yeah it’s pretty much a gas gas pre KTM and their are parts available at most places you get parts. It’s a very well built bike, very balanced and lots and I mean lots of horsepower. The suspension is the best on the current market. Sherco is second and then TM then Yamaha and then KTM
Hey. Great review. Thanks. I am seriously looking at this bike for hare scramble. I tried one the other day but felt that the engine was a little bit mellow. Have you been successful at bringing a little bit of more life into it?
That was a good video. I’m having issues with it breaking up on top and kinda seems like it’s a loading up I don’t know if that’s my power valves. I just change the reeds they were cracked. I bought the bike in a box so I’m putting it back together it seems to be running a little rich blowing oil out the header pipe
the trials bike uses mineral oil (I use baby oil in mine) so you would have to swap all the seals and the clutch slave I believe as the brembo uses dot4. I would think the trials one with the small amount of fluid would boil easier with how hard we ride our hard enduro bikes vs trails? my gas gas came with a more brembo looking master 9 but I traded it to the brembo 10 because king of hammers was coming up and didn't have time to get used to the different pull. with my shorter fingers I run my clutches closer to the bar so with the 9 I can't disengage it pulled all the way and I end up stalling much more. not sure if there's a work around for that or not maybe less oil but that's why I prefer the 10's. your fingers end up getting used to the slightly harder pull. Just finished the 5 hour grinding stone race and my finger only got a little tired from it throughout
I have a 1994 rmx250 farm bike and I JUST realized that it had a power valve. I doubt this valve effects compression? my compression is only 70psi but it runs good besides bad low end. the thing goes fast but wont wheelie and hardly can get a start and sprockets plenty big so basically exactly how you explained it which was done perfectly for a beginner like me.
Check compression when it’s hot, pull plug, out screw in compression checker in (can be bought or rented from orileys) hold throttle wide open and kick over 5 times or as soon as compression needle stops climbing write ✍️ number down clear line do this 3 times. I haven’t seen an RM250 run below 120 psi.
Nice to hear someone else appreciate the engine braking of a 4t for trail riding. Stretching a gear coming into a corner, just letting off the throttle is enough rear brake. And if u dont like it or want more flow, just turn the idle up a bit and it goes away
