I agree that it doesn't need a recluse as it don't stall if you don't stop and I also found that I lay it down a lot less than my old WR doing the same kind of riding. I also think the carb model with a lectron is a better setup than the TPI, overall cheaper and with a lot less junk to go wrong, and the same performance once the lectron is tweaked for your specific bike
Very cool-- see there you can be all good with the stock one. I have not run the STIC but with the regular Keihin we think it is great and the added power should not be any issue long term. As for the cable adjustment you are correct- I have a video coming out soon that shows how to solve that by cutting the top 2mm off of the top of the carb --- Easy deal. Yes also you are right on the other issues as well. I think its a bigger deal on the XC-W than the XC for some reason. But we have over 100 hrs on these now and dont think there is any long term concerns. Good luck and glad you watching and enjoying your 300
Joel Cowdrey Your comments in regards to increased wear on engine components and the need for “increased head space” are unfounded. Additionally, not all users are running race fuel and still have success. Obtaining the metering block is not difficult at all. You honestly sound like a troll.
What would happen if you fitted that trombone exhaust in smaller stages towards the rear? Big at front then smaller, then smaller still 3 or 4 stages of resonators?? Instead of this giant target behind the front wheel. I thought xc's had the shock OVER rear swing arm linkage. So as to prevent cross country damages ??
What do you think of a 2016 300 xcw with a BRC 500cc 2-stroke engine? I have a older 2011 300xc & it still runs great although I need updated suspension.
Is that the stock expansion chamber header pipe? Just wonder because I was looking for a p3 carbon gaurd for mine and at the time they hadn't made one yet.
Thanks for the video J great information I was kinda of hoping that you would say why you like the KTM 300 over the Husky tx300 I think the husky has more bells and whistles than the KTM I have a 2019 tx300 it comes with a 6-speed gearbox and the KTM XC comes with a 5-speed gearbox and the reason I'm asking you this is because I know you have Ridden the Tx300
Stock spring is good and we start at flush-- then dial in-- the better jetted or carb you have set up the more you will need to go in- we are about 2 turns in
Haha-- OK I get your question. In stock form the bike really is still great and you can live with the stock Carb. However, for the trails we ride we want more protection. That is why we will add the handguards, skid plate, pipe guard etc-- Also the fan and coolant catch can will help when stuck in gnarly situations.
Dirt Bike TV ok again that’s only a little of what you did. You changed pretty much every aspect of the bike. From looks to suspension to gearing to controls. For a regular joe to build the bike you have your talking 14 grand with the bike. Fc just charged me 1100 for my 18 yz suspension Hinson clutch another grand etc etc. I’m sure it’s an insanely good bike but it’s out of reach for us and the guys that buy a 19 300 will not have close to the beast you built.
@@mcsbikelife3829 they have just done the basics. Every bike raced in the desert here gets hand guards, pipe guard, skid plate, spark arrestor, steering stabilizer and suspension. It's just part of the buy in.
Yes for sure- I think for different terrains one can be best over the other one. However, I am still leaning towards the 300XC as best trail bike and the 350XCF as a best bike for a guy mixing moto and trails.
Thanks for this vid, very informative. Im curious to get your opinion on the best 4 stroke trail bike. If you had to replace your 300 2 stroke with a 4 stroke what bike would it be. make, model & cc ?
I have a KTM 300 and a Beta 430rr race. Love both bikes, but if i could only have one I would keep the Beta. Just a bit more versatile especially when you're in more open higher speed terrain. But still holds it's own in the tight gnar.
With Slow Trail riding we are good 50-60 with stock tank-- Which on some of our rides is 5-6 hours so plenty good. We do go with the larger IMS tank when available to be safe.
Haha -- good catch my friend! When you see us riding in off road conditions with a tire that looks like a knobby it actually is the Dunlop AT81 EX this tire is a knobby but with the gummy trials compound -- Kinda the best of both worlds. www.dunlopmotorcycletires.com/dunlop-introduces-new-geomax-at81-ex/
@@dirtbiketv1 gotcha. Unfortunately it will take a long time to restore my confidence in the AT81, even with a different compound. The OEM ones that come on the KTM's are not my favorite tire. But I live in the pnw where it's difficult to find tires that work well in the wet conditions we see most of the year.
Winner Winner-- so we do this on every video to see who is really paying attention and you are first. Haha -- We actually didnt catch it till we started it that day and saw it bouncing around as we reved it up. So, stuff gets missed sometimes.
@@dirtbiketv1 I realize that, in fact I believe the whole spark arrestor deal is a crock. Its a hold over from regulations on chainsaws which in fact can start fires since the combustion chamber and exhaust exit can be measured in inches. There is no way a spark from the combustion chamber of a dirt bike could maintain enough heat during it's long journey (probably at least 6 feet) from the combustion chamber to the exit of the silencer to start a fire. But logic is rarely the basis of laws and regulations. That being said whether you are in a combustible area or not, you are still in violation of the law. More of a bad PR potential than a fire. Headline: Dirt Bikers Fined For Being a Fire Hazard In Warner Valley. Love your channel. Keep up the good work.
@@enmerdeur Dude, shut your stupid mouth. He is clearly riding around rocks with no chance of starting a fire. Why would you even bring that up? Go cry somewhere else.
@@anglico92 John, the personal rancor reflected in that remark I don't intend to dignify with comment. But I would like to address your attitude of hopeless negativism. Consider the lilies of the goddamn field... or hell, take a look at Jay here as your paradigm of hope!
