@charlesswiger2260 Год назад

Love the new switches that makes so munch more sense than what is on them now . Love all the reviews and info 👌 👍 keep them vids coming i love this channel 😀

@highlandcycles Год назад

Thanks so much

@scottphillips445 Год назад

I think it's really cool that you are going to fly someone out to ride.

@brianmullins739 Год назад

Dude... can't wait to hear your 6500 review! I love my 6500 kit. Would love to see where you land on it settings wise.

@scottphillips445 Год назад

Hey I want to chime in on something important: spark plug nipple torque! What I suggest is using a deep socket and a snap-on torque wrench on the threaded end and holding the nipple with a pair of vice grips and torque the nipple to 20 inch pounds. If you are anal put a rag between the vice grips and the nipple! I feel that spark plug nipple torque is the most overlooked item on a dirt bike. I myself have never actually done this before, but if you do be sure to check the gap before installing!

@johnmerritt6670 Год назад

Love Klim gear, last way longer than any other brand. Hopefully the inventory will get better.

@jeffmurphy7600 Год назад

Acerbis has a 3.2 gallon tank listed on their website.

@highlandcycles Год назад

Yep. I’ve seen it.

@Menz890 Год назад

I have the 6500’s on my 22 te 300 but I have to say I prefer 21 Fe explorer fork that was revalved and sprung for my weight. Both valved by the same company but everyone has different preferences. 🍻👍

@highlandcycles Год назад

I love my XPlor forks too. The 6500’s are better for going fast.

@ronnynelsonmasterarborist Год назад

Heck yeah! I love Klim Gear! The link showed an error though.

@highlandcycles Год назад

Huh. Try this www.klim.com/?rstr=highland

@Danman1972 Год назад

You totally missed an opportunity with the graphics to put the "Game Changer" on your bike. Not currently running it at the monment, but do have 2 sets of klim gear that are at least 10 years old. They have held up great. Both of those jerseys are vented. I did rip one in the mesquites, but still great. I bought some vented stuff. That was lighter and have been using a fleece spider long sleeve as a jersey and I will say for 15 bucks at costco I should have bought 2 more. They are not available locally, but can order them online. Cheap and functional. No flashy graphics and it wicks to keep you dry when you sweat. Works well in the cooler temps and will use the vented jersey again as it warms. That said... again Klim stuff is sweet. I enjoy the pockets on the pants. I would keep snacks, gel packs, or towel in a baggie for cleaning goggle and such. Easy access.

I know. I dropped the ball

@richardhartley1705 Год назад

@Norcal2stroke Год назад

Love your channel! I've been watching since the beginning. Just got my 23 300 XC and I had a question, I'm coming from a carburetor to the TBI I was curious about startup and warm up before a ride?

@highlandcycles Год назад

I warm my tbi up like a carb. They are very rich on startup (like a choke) and since there is oil in the gas you are good to go.

@scottphillips445 Год назад

I googled schlog and it means whipped cream. Good luck getting the splooge issue solved. If you ride off the pipe at all splooge happens. Smokers are designed to Rev.

@highlandcycles Год назад

Oh yeah. I don’t care about it at all. Just the people on the internet

@scottphillips445 Год назад

The problem with splooge is that it can drip on the brakes

@highlandcycles Год назад

@@scottphillips445 yeah. As long as it doesn’t get that bad it’s no big deal

@scottphillips445 Год назад

And the whipped cream reference is fitting for your channel because your 23 is in my opinion "the bike to have " I think that the 16 to 18 frame is the best motocross frame, the 19 to 22 is better for offroad, and I am guessing that the new frame is even sexier offroad. I like having 1 bike with stiff suspension for mx and 1 bike set up soft for offroad. I totally dig how light air forks make the front end feel but I agree that using a spring fork is better for action. On a 450 or a 300 springs are better but on a 125/150 air forks are the shit

@scottphillips445 Год назад

I totally appreciate your input on the new design to include your slavens skit! It's fast I don't like that! It's predictable I don't like that! A production bike is a platform a race bike is revalved and modified for 1 pilot.

@BLSdarrin Год назад

First thing I did was put on the separate Nihlo switches on my '23. I may order a set of the Motominded for backup. I should receive my Crosslinked swing arm guards today. Now if these damn plastics would start shipping I'd be set. Is Acerbis or Polisport ever going to make plastics for these bikes ?

@highlandcycles Год назад

I don’t know. I’m sure they will.

@Shelby8371 Год назад

Your thoughts on a seat concepts comfort seat for single track . Yes or no on the FMF mega bomb header? Thanks brother your opinions matter!!

@highlandcycles Год назад

I don’t sit enough to want a comfort seat on my small bike. They are great for dual sport though. Fmf mega bomb is good

@MechShark Год назад

I'm just here to say that I have, indeed, gotten out to ride my dirt bike and pop wheelies. My '22 TX is now at 160 hours. 🙉 Too bad the '23 Huskies use Braktek now or I'd have one🤦‍♂

@highlandcycles Год назад

I know. I can’t believe they did that

@barrthom603 Год назад

yup I sold my 20 TX and wont be picking up another until Brembo or Magura back. My 22.5 Husky rockstar 450 has brembo atleast.

@elkwhisperer8065 Год назад

Awesome video, keep the 300xc content coming, just picked up my 300 sx up today and was wondering what should I run for psi in my forks if I want to ride slow rocky enduro and also what should I run for sprocket sizes to get a nice slow 1st gear on the sx?

@highlandcycles Год назад

What do you weigh? I’m 185 and I run 140. Is run 13/52

@elkwhisperer8065 Год назад

I’m 175lbs, I guess I’ll order some 13/52 sprockets, also do I need to replace the stock battery like u did to run the tusk fan?

@highlandcycles Год назад

@@elkwhisperer8065 don’t need to replace battery and I’d try 140psi

@elkwhisperer8065 Год назад

Awesome thanks, one more question, will I need a new chain if I go to a 13/52 sprocket? I think stock is 14/49

@highlandcycles Год назад

@@elkwhisperer8065 I don’t think so.

@scottphillips445 Год назад

I suggest that you run 50/50 comp and clear your top end will last a lot longer. The ktm manual suggests 98 octane.

@highlandcycles Год назад

That recommendation is a euro rating from what I have heard. As long as it doesn’t ping I’m not worried

@racesla Год назад

Manual states ROZ 95 which is a global rating, equivalent to our (USA) 91 octane rating.

@scottphillips445 Год назад

Oh yeah we are talking about XCs which are designed to run straight clear. The manual for a 15 TC250 is 98 octane. The difference between the older mx/ xc smokers is the head. KTM is hip to the trial rider approach

@highlandcycles Год назад

@@racesla yep

@mikew1800 Год назад

@@scottphillips445 XC runs same octane as SX. The 98 has always referred to overseas numbers, not USA. Run premium in anything, it'll be just fine. Race fuel is for people that ran their compression up, and those that like to burn money.

@Brandon-dd8dw Год назад

Will any other oem ktm fuel cap fit this 2023 xc tank?

@highlandcycles Год назад

Yep

@brianmullins739 Год назад

BTW...question... what is the trick to getting the stock skid plate on? I have the 300 SX and tried putting the XC skid plate on and man is it difficult.

@highlandcycles Год назад

Huh. Not sure. Mine just goes on.

@ecrane99 Год назад

Do you know if you get similar range on green and white map? Curious if green uses more fuel.

@highlandcycles Год назад

I haven't really tested that very well but I do think that the green burns more gas. If for no other reason than when I ride in the green map I am usually in more open, faster terrain.

@cplandrew Год назад

I need the link for KLIM gear! Didn't see it in the description...

@highlandcycles Год назад

Shoot. I’ll fix that. Here it is www.klim.com/?rstr=highland

@@highlandcycles thanks Morgan!

@elkwhisperer8065 Год назад

Hey man so I’ve been riding my 300sx a little (got about two hours in it) and just wondering if your xc is a little boggy? If I’m going low speed for a little bit and then try to open it up it sounds pretty boggy until it cleans out and then it rips again. I changed my plug to a br7es but wondering if you had that issue? I’m in western Wyoming at 6500ft so I just ordered a rk tek head too and maybe that’ll help? There’s no adjustments for fuel right?

@highlandcycles Год назад

No adjustment unfortunately. Mine will load up a little but I almost never notice it. I think the head will help a ton

@brownfamily3828 Год назад

Do you have any thoughts on the MX Tech Lucky spring conversion for AER forks...

@highlandcycles Год назад

I like the 6500 better. I’m not a fan of the single spring setup

@andrecontois8510 Год назад

I was under the impression the luckys were dual spring

@highlandcycles Год назад

@@andrecontois8510 depends on which version. I know that some of them just replace the air spring with a single spring setup. Or maybe that’s the Dal Soggio. Not sure but I really like using WP stuff in WP forks. That’s why I chose the 6500 over KYB

@RC.56 Год назад

how do I get my stock AER suspension soft and plush going slow on a 23 350xcf? thanks

@highlandcycles Год назад

One big thing is to make sure you put a little oil into the air spring. Through the schrader valve. Just a couple CC’s. The other thing is to valve it appropriately. We have a good setting that is pretty plush. Not as plush as spring kit but close
