Could you compare the xact suspension with the 890 xplor and xplor pro stuff? After getting a second set of wheels for my 890, I'll be looking to put all new suspension on my 890 s. I'm between waiting for used set of xplor pro stuff, tractives +40mm for the stock 43mm suspension, or possibly go nuts & figure out how to fit xact pro stuff on.

@randydumont6362 Месяц назад

I have an FE501S. MANDATORY 3 in 1 MOD. 1. EURO AIR INTAKE 2. ECU 3. EXHAUST You cannot do only one or only two. You must do all 3. Stock, the engine has Asthma. It cannot breathe because of the Reed valve. Do not waste your time or energy trying to modify the stock Air Intake. Eliminate it. The Stock EURO Air Intake tube is a straight hollow tube. No more air restriction. When you do that, you just made the engine tune too lean. Hence, the new ECU with proper tunes pre programmed for you to choose from. Mod 3, uncork it so it can eliminate all that air and fuel with a performance exhaust. A performance ECU demands more air and an unrestricted exhaust. I have the Euro Intake, a Vortex ECU and a Yoshimura Exhaust. It’s a beast. The throttle snaps. No more flame outs. Throttle performance is now instant. It does what I want it to do when I want it to do it. When it was stock, throttle response had a delay. I’d throttle…….and wait. No more. My Vortex has a tune available for elevations over 3,000 ft. to correct for less air density at higher elevations. Unfortunately, the FE501S, has a different wiring harness than the FE501. The FE501 has a factory MAP switch. I know this because I tried, but there is no way to attach the factory MAP switch into the FE501S. The only thing I need to do is install the Vortex MAP switch which will allow me to switch to a second MAP tune with the flip of the switch. I plan to use the Higher Elevation tune for position 2 since I have mountains nearby. I love my FE501S. I have also done the suspension, cone valves etc., the Acerbis. Consider Sicass front and rear blinkers. My Sicass handguards have the front blinkers integrated into them. Enjoy!

@robertg9514 2 месяца назад

For the high cost of performance motorcycles, one would think that you could order one set up at the factory for your weight + expected weight of all accessories. At least a selection of different spring/valve rates that would be within a range of maybe 5 lbs plus or minus of a riders desired combined weight.

@richardtomlinson2063 2 месяца назад

I'd still prefer a physical oil filter, then stick a high strength magnet on top of the drain bolt, or just inside the case. Not all engine parts are (strongly) magnetic.

@longdaysandhardworkatramra8260 Месяц назад

Hmm that was my same thought, I really didn't like the look of it but after looking at their product page I kind of like the idea, it seems to catch more material, much finer material, you can clean it super regularly too and it doesn't slow down oil at all at start up which is a massive bonus. I think if you were to run something for 10,000km without a filter change you should go paper but for a dirt bike or bike where you are willing to pop it out and clean it a couple times throughout oil fill life this would be much better I think, much to my surprise. They have tests and 18.5% of solids the rod collected were "Dust, dirt, sands" i.e. "dirt from outside world and silica from clutch pads." 33% iron and 44% carbon, they seems to be collecting everything I want it too and evenly enough.

@danielklopp7007 2 месяца назад

@12:30 - FYI: a magnetic filter will only remove ferrous metals, however most of the metals used in the engine are NOT magnetic (lead, copper & zinc are used in the bearing shells; aluminum and stainless are also used on various other engine components... none of these metals will stick to a magnet)...bottom line, I would stick with a disposable paper filter. FYI: I have university degree in mechanical engineering (I did my senior thesis on tuned exhaust in 2-stroke engines - including cutting, rolling and welding my own expansion chambers) so I know far more about engines and engine design than the average person.

@issigonis94c 2 месяца назад

Agree, plus the price of that filter is about the same as the price of 40 OEM paper cartridges here in South Africa - so 600 hours of oil changes before it makes financial sense.

@michiganmoto7687 2 месяца назад

You did see that there was a secondary screen filter as part of the system, right? Any of the non-ferrous particulates too small to get caught in that are too small to do any damage anyway. Especially taking into account the average lifespan of these motors. If you were trying to get 300k miles out if it then yes you would want to filter much better to avoid fine abrasion wear that could occur over a long time, but for what they are and what they do this filtration system is more than adequate.

@charon79m 2 месяца назад

Can't really claim the micron improvement when you're missing everything but ferrous metals smaller than the screen though.

We have to love Toco Mike and his excellent parts and service. By the way, I spent last month in northern Baja with my 500. I installed the 140/80-18 Motoz Tractionator Enduro S/T Rear (not I/T) on the rear and loved it. We got a lot more rain and mud than planned, and this tire was great in both the mud and deep sand. The Motoz front was out of stock locally, so I put the Michelin Enduro Medium Front Tire in 90/100-21. This tire also worked very well in the mud, sand, and rocky trails. I think I am now an official fatty convert. I am keen to see and hear about your experiences with this tire combo.

Just think, in 6 months he will sell this fantastic bike. I’m convinced that my modified 18 500 is my best option, even better than my 690 for my type of use. Nothing beats a 45kg weight reduction. Re gearing, I’ve run 15/42 for easy dirt riding and it can easily do it.

@CraigSmith568 2 месяца назад

Personally I would want separate blinkers on the rear. I know the integrated light is more compact, but someone behind you would not be able to tell that was a blinker or which way you were turning if they did think it was a blinker. I would be afraid of getting run over from behind with only that light.

@mxbadboy263 2 месяца назад

I agree. The brake light/tail light he installed is not DOT rated and is dangerous for the riders safety for being so small. Also if someone runs into the back of you the lawyers will use it against you on both sides of the litigation.

I also have the Rekluse. I was on the fence with the Rekluse but after putting one on my 890 I wanted one on the 501, it makes a huge difference for me. I’m happy to see you like the suspension work! I honestly believe it’s such a good investment, for me anyway. If it keeps me off the ground one time it’s paid for itself many times over! Keep up the excellent content!

How does the magnetic filter out non magnetic particles (aluminum, copper, gasket sealant and etc)?

@andrewarnott6112 2 месяца назад

Exactly, and non magnetic particles still block up oil galleries etc

@patshmear10101 Месяц назад

The tacomoto product page for the filter says that non-ferrous materials are also caught via static adhesion and entrapment, and at smaller particle sizes than a paper filter can catch. Kinda questionable for the larger non-ferrous stuff but who knows

@cliftonsr 2 месяца назад

The previous generation had wider ratio gearing and a tad taller 6th gear, and the reason is that the newer generation gearbox casing is the same as the 350s to save on weight, so they carried over the gearbox ratios as well. I love your videos Ian.

@zeeosix 2 месяца назад

If that aftermarket oil filter is just a magnet, there is all kinds of other debris in the oil besides magnetic ferrous metals - so it won't filter out anything that's not magnetic. Best thing to do is to use an efficient filter combined with a magnetic drain plug - like the factory setup already has.

Awesome job Ian, I can't wait to see the final result. In all sincerity, once finished it will be awesome, but still dirt focused, just a bit less so, but at great cost. Why can't manufacturers produce a good 50:50 bike out of the box? For me, the only goldilocks adv bikes that I can think of are the new RE Himalayan, and the old CCM GP450.

@miro_s 2 месяца назад

Great idea magnetic swingarm guards. I wish they also made magnetic engine cases guards: I’d rather remove them at each wash to avoid corrosion under them, but I’m very weary of keep removing the engine case bolts, as they’re easy to strip and leave you with a serious problem on your hands.

@@40020287 non ho ancora preso niente, ma alla fine penso sceglierei la 501 per curiosità sul linkage, che è preferibile in attività tipo rally. Certo i freni restano un problema. Ma a dirla tutta continuo ad avere ripensamenti: ho una 350 e alla fine sostituirla con una 500 ha pro e cons, e non sono certo che faccia sufficiente differenza per valere lo sforzo e il disborso. Al contrario, prendere una 2T (da appaiare alla 350) aggiungerebbe una intera nuova dimensione, sto guardando alla Husky TE300 Pro, che tra l’altro ha freni e frizione brembo… costa quanto la 500…

Actually, I think you just put it on a stand, take out the rear wheel and you can take it straight out. On my 500 EXC-F with PDS (no linkage) you don't even need to take out the wheel. Just top and bottom bolt and it comes straight out.

@chukku2175 2 месяца назад

I am not 100% sure about this theory, but hear me out: While there are undeniably several parts in every modern engine which aremade out of non-magnetic material (aluminum, magnesium etc), maybe the logic here is: all parts that are actually in contact with another moving part and are therefore subjected to abrasion (bearings, gears, piston rings..) are always made out of steel. If that is the case, then there should never be any nonmagnetic particles in the engine oil (???). I can't really believe that the guys who developed this magnetic filter didn't think about this very basic question.

@miro_s 2 месяца назад

If you trim the stock chain guard with a dremel tool, you can fit a 15 tooth front sprocket which is much easier to swap out than a 45 tooth rear sprocket. Assuming you have enough slack in your chain. Adds about 5mph to comfort speed.

Hey Ian, love the video! What Acerbis fuel tank did you purchase? The Acerbis website says the fitment for the aftermarket tanks are only for the 20-23 KTM/Huskie’s.

LOL, The rear shock removal, THATS REDICULIOUS!!! I have the KTM 500, remove two bolts, bull the shock out the the top, voila, five mins or less. WHAT NO BARK BUSTERS! With the rim locks what tire pressure do you run?

Be careful about installing a non DOT brake light/tail light. If someone runs into the back of you a lawyer will hang you with it. It's also just plain dangerous concerning your safety. I don't know why being able to turn off your headlight is a smart idea either. It's the law that your headlight be on anytime the bike is running. It let's idiots that might pull in front of you see you better also.

Going to look at a 2024 501s today. Anyone know what the weight limit is for the new subframe? Im wanting to do my own ADV build on the bike and I need to be able to safely haul about 30-35lbs of gear. This includes tools, fuel and camping gear.

I'm still unsure if the best performance dual sport base is the 350 or the 500. My ideal garage would have a 300 2stoke, a 350 or 500 exc, and a norden 901. For that performance dual sport in the middle, would you go with a 350 or a 500?

@BigRockMoto 2 месяца назад

I prefer the 350. Smoother, less vibration

Hey Ian, I don't know if you remember your 2022 500 EXCF enough to compare its suspension with this new husky? I'm contemplating revamping my entire KTM 2022 suspension, with lucky cartridges up front, and maybe their national shock in the back to the tune of over $4,000. It's tempting to just sell my 2022 530 EXCF or trade it in towards the 2024, either husky or KTM. Wondering if you can remember enough to compare the suspension you now have versus the suspension on your 2022 KTM?

@BigRockMoto 2 месяца назад

The stock setup is decent, but not nearly as good as a tuned suspension from the previous gen.

@MarkSpencerAZ 2 месяца назад

Thanks for the input! When I run the numbers, it would cost me an additional seven or eight or even $9,000 by the time I brought a new bike up to par with my current bike with the seats and armor, lighting, and I still have just a 2024 stock suspension. For 4K I have all that and a top-notch aftermarket tuned suspension

Too much, the FE501s is better out of the box than anything else and doesn't need 99% of the mods people do to it. He just has to mod it for the sake of content and promotion.

One of my renters just bought a new 2024 FE501S last Friday for $11,500 out-the-door from a dealership in northern California..... yes, $11,500 total including tax, license/registration, doc fee, and a full tank of gas.

@Ntmoffi 2 месяца назад

@@kenbowlus2995 yeap. The Motor Cafe in Sunnyvale has theirs on sale for $9199 plus fees and tax. There are deals out there.

@AustenARW 2 месяца назад

He likely got deals from the vendor(s) or was provided some of the parts for free. For the average person to buy it all outright and do a "full build" on one of these, easily near the purchase price of the bike or more. Take a look at what the parts go for and you'll see you're into the thousands in no time. When setup, they are definitely the "ultimate dual sport" but many who can afford the higher purchase price of these European bikes can also afford the cost of the expensive accessories.

@ride4adventure 2 месяца назад

They are such a great platform for dual sport. They can be customised to the individual and despite the naysayers about the reliability, if properly maintained, these bikes can take you everywhere offroad with ease and relative comfort.
