Hello are you specialised in husqvarna dirtbikes i have a husqvarna cr125 build in 1998 what kind of cover set can i put on it and what build type is the maximum i want the 2020 cover set on it or the 2014 one
Why is it, that on the trans world motocross review of the 2017 tc 250, they say that you don't need to cut the airbox, because it already make good power. But on forums and RU-vid videos every everyone says that you have to drill the airbox to get the same power levels of the 2017 ktm 250sx?
Yes this is needed. i recently did the boot swap on my 2017 FE501. I installed the same year but with the more dirt specific FC450 which does not have the reeds and it fits perfectly. I'm thinking of adding additional venting like you've done to the top and or side. What about protecting against water getting in? Is this a concern or not because it all hidden behind plastic and number plates????
cw127cw and ur air filter is going to get way dirtier way quicker cuting a bunch of holes in the air box , i already get mud in my airbox almost every ride it would be way worse with more holes, ur filter is going to be all clogged from mud and ur bike cant breathe, dont bother doing this if u go thru water and mud lots.
hey Justin hey I just got done doing the airbox mod on my 18 tx300 and once I put the body panels of back on the right side you can't see any of the new channels for air??? so I was curious did you change or cut into the exterior body panels as well.... once the bike is all put back together I can't really see how this would be much of an improvement
Yes some riders have noticed better throttle response and a smoother overall power delivery. You can test it out by removing one of your side panels for a short ride and see if you feel a difference.
This more applys to the stock configuration for 2 strokes. The KTM's seem to breathe better in our opinion. Fuel injected bikes i'm not sure they need this mod..
Is the air box built right into the sub frame? to me it looks like it so I don't think I'd cut the air box all to shit like that because it probably hinders the integrity of the sub frame itself. It's not like the thing is super charged and pulling huge amount of air, I would think just drilling some round holes would be fine if ur worried about it getting starved for air..
Great question! On all the bike shootouts you'll see that the KTM's have more power than the Husky's. Reason being that the Husqvarna doesn't breathe very well from the factory. When you find out as to why, please let us know! Thanks for watching. ~Vinny
Rocky Mountain ATV MC no i uave a 2017 ktm and its pretty well the same not many places for it to get air , but all u do is jet the bike for less air in the air /fuel ratio , not cut holes in ur bike lol if u jet it properly it runs ....simple as that.
It could be done on purpose to give the Husky's a different feel. With the higher price tag, it becomes a different market. KTM/Husky may know that the riders buying those bikes are weekend warriors and not racers.
We actually ended up going with the JD Jetting Kit. We tried all sorts of different jetting configurations and could never get it quite right. JD Jetting Kit is the way to go: www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p/930/10974/JD-Jetting-Jet-Kit Or Check out the Lectron Carburetor: www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p/930/70037/Lectron-High-Velocity-Adjustable-Power-Jet-Carburetor-Kit
Spoke with Justin. He just followed the instructions that came included in the kit. Really easy to follow. He thinks he is running the *blue* needle, but for mountains the *red* needle would be better. With the instructions included, you shouldn't have a problem getting your bike dialed. Thanks
Jon Snider I have the 2018 tx300 and of done some carb modifications and still not finding that sweet spot in terms of power all the way through smooth anyways. I'm going to try a couple more different Jets and if still no luck I will definitely be starting with drilling a few holes instead from cutting out that huge Bay on the other side. If that little bit of airflow makes a difference I'll definitely be cutting out the other side of the airbox.
The best help for me was finally going with the JD jet kit needle. It is shaped way different than the OE needles I tried. I loved it after that......Justin
I'm only in like 300 feet elevation do you think i still need to drill holes and open the air box up or is it maybe because you're so high in elevation
Derek Brisco pretty sure you're carb isn't jetted for 300 ft the stock settings are a lot higher than that. I would recommend jetting it for sea level and working from there before you start cutting your bike up
enmerdeur a lot of people seem to like them around here. have seen some for sale lately and people are saying they like the mikuni better once its jetted well
Seat time is where it's at. I've had my 2017 300xc now for 60hrs of actual ride time to really see what's going on with this new set up. Yes it's comes rich and it's been a journey to figure out where to have the jetting. Now I live at sea level and ride no higher than 500m. My challenge has been the weather. It's up and down in pressure and temperature. Try dealing with that. I've seen all the modes people have suggested and are temped to try them. But I looked at my air filter and noticed how the dirt builds on it to see how it's breathing. It's breathing just fine. I'm sticking with carb adjustments. Lots of formulas to choose from. My current jetting is 43-73 needle with clip at second from the top. 440 main with a 35 pilot with the air screw out 2&1/4 turns. My two cents.
