whats the fuel range like on the '24 XC-W TBI vs TPI?

@highlandcycles 9 месяцев назад

Not as good as TPI

@P4ddyC4ke Год назад

Great to hear how well the clutch assist works... Definitely going to keep this on my list.

Would love to see you do a Budget EZ clutch on Zak's bike, 9mm Brembo Master + Magura Piston Spring swap + Pressure Plate on Setting 1 and see how that stacks up to the Expensive EZ Clutch..... and/or How the Clake One Light Clutch stacks up I think is very similar to the EZ cutch , but it actually includes and a Master Cylinder as one whole unit

@highlandcycles Год назад

They do but they are also more expensive. I don’t think we will be doing all of this because this is Zach’s bike and I’m Letting him decide on what we do. We will see. I can say that changing the position on the spring isn’t a good idea. Those aren’t for clutch feel adjustment. They are to get the proper preload (spring washer flat) on the spring

@tyleradams6002 Год назад

Its refreshing to hear someone praise the yz these days...once upon a time before ktm they were the best lol

@highlandcycles Год назад

I freaking love them. If they had an e start I’d be riding one. My kids both race YZ’s

@MrFPSWisconsin Год назад

YZ is the best.

@scottphillips445 Год назад

I plan on buying 1 of those levers, but you need to get all the credit for my purchase. I have been on the fence about installing a rekluse radius X in my FC450, but you made it for me. Sell the rekluse and buy the lever. What I do not like about the rekluse is that for racing it doesn't work fast enough and adds moving parts. I do Ike the improved action. Also 450s have clutch destroying torque. If you ride 3 times a year the yz250 is a great bike. Broadest power delivery, easy set up suspension components, and good durability/reliability.

@fredwernett7925 Год назад

I’m wondering if the 2024 300 XC-W’s power can be made just a bit more muscular by installing an XC cylinder head insert. If the part numbers are different, the XC insert might raise the compression ratio. There might be squish band differences too. That could be an easy engine hop up. Thanks for keeping it real, Morgan. See you down the trail.

@highlandcycles Год назад

I guarantee that the insert will wake up the W. We will be doing that soon. I have a spare XC head which is the same head as the SX

@richardhartley7094 Год назад

Zak likes his 24 so it’s a big thumbs up for the 24 it seems to me👍👍👍

@brycedavis907 Год назад

is the engagement feel consistent. I ask because I've seen plenty of similar mechanical advantage devices have and inconsistent feel through the travel.

No, this thing is super consistent! It is literally just an assist! No change in leverage

@davidgrunklee8407 Год назад

So the w in the standard "hot" map feels considerably slower than the xc in white map?! Interesting

@highlandcycles Год назад

Not so much slower as less exciting. And way less over rev. But all of that isn’t bad. It’s a great feeling motor.

@TKReyesup Год назад

I will say my 24’ 300 XCW is smooth but I will agree I could definitely handle more power. I’m still hoping for a possible OI injection delete kit and and different head in the future. Awesome bike tho…

@highlandcycles Год назад

RK TEK has a great head already. Oil delete will be easy. Could just block off the oil pump. Need to make a dongle that will fool the computer into thinking it’s still there.

@aaronmcelhinney1436 Год назад

Morgan, do you think it’s worth the added cost for the 300xc, or would it be better to buy the 300 sx and modify it with a bigger fuel tank, 18” rear wheel, etc? I know you get more off road specific things, and the sx only is a 5 speed transmission, but is it worth the extra $1900? The new 2024 also has the new spring forks,

@highlandcycles Год назад

I personally think the XC is worth it.

@ronhartle3268 Год назад

So I was I misinformed that if you unplug the map switch it goes to the green map not white?

@highlandcycles Год назад

Yes. It stays in the map that you put it in. I didn’t know that at first. So once you put it in a map, it will stay in that map until you switch it with the map switch.

@ronhartle3268 Год назад

@@highlandcycles that's cool. So zacks bike came with no map switch. Was it set to green or white from the factory?

@chongorlz9716 Год назад

Do you ever want to try a 4 stroke for something different? I bet a YZ250fx would be sweet on those single tracks you ride. KTM’s are nice, but dang man everybody has one 🥱🤣

@highlandcycles Год назад

I like the 250FX but I’m just a 2T guy

@Dat_Sun Год назад

I built a new 22 yz250fx for single track. In the end, it felt heavy and was prone to flame out when you wouldn't expect it to. Also, it's painfully slow to start and often requires a second attempt when hot. Heavy flywheel, G2 throttle cam, hymec hydro clutch, revalved and sprung. Not a bad bike, but not ideal on single track and untimely feels as heavy as a 450 in tight situations.

@highlandcycles Год назад

@@Dat_Sun I agree. Great bikes but not my favorite

@dirkdiggler3009 Год назад

Quick question. On the 23 300 XC there was a dongle to adjust the powervalve actuator. Is there a similar processo n the XC-W? How is it done? I dont see anything in the manual.

@highlandcycles Год назад

I don't think so. They don't come with the dongle and I haven't found the port you would plug it into either.

@dirkdiggler3009 Год назад

@highlandcycles May be a service manual question. Unless they now do it automatically.

@highlandcycles Год назад

@@dirkdiggler3009 maybe

@rebelliontotyrantsisobedie5602 Год назад

Instead of this $400 clutch thingy, I watched the install video on it, looks like lots of small parts in it to malfuntion, break, wear out , get affected by dirt, water you thoughts on that? .... have you guys ever tried running a 9mm Brembo Master, they can be had for about $160, seems to be a popular enduro Mod I hear Pros Like Littenbichuler run it , how much lighter will the brembo 9mm get you?. My GasGas came with Braketech 9mm and that thing was very light compared to KTM... now that Im back on a KTM I need to figure out what Im going to do with this clutch

@highlandcycles Год назад

We will be testing the crap out of this thing.

@Dat_Sun Год назад

Why does the w have the thick cast looking triple clamps and not the thin ones like the XC? Seems odd.

@MechShark Год назад

Billet clamps are used to stiffen up the steering, that's why they're usually a factory racing accessory. But the trade-off is comfort, more force transfers to bars/hands. XC-W models have biased towards comfortable trail riders, so I'm guessing they did this to offset the stiffer new closed cartridge forks.

@Dat_Sun Год назад

@@MechShark Thanks man, that makes perfect sense.

@dirkdiggler3009 Год назад

What is the stock gearing on the '24 XC-Ws? The manual doesn't state what they come with.

@bevinjohnson1003 Год назад

13/45

@scottphillips445 Год назад

I don't need to watch this video because it's Loretta all the way. If you are a single track only person then XC-W all the way. 6500 kit , revalved, pipe, and all the other parts. The best out of the box suspension can always be improved. I have always felt that there should be a modified shootout. My 15 tc250 stock valving stacks were garbage out of the box. Excellent power and handling. The best brakes and the worst suspension.

Have you ran Midwest mountain engineering clutch ?

@highlandcycles Год назад

Yes. I don’t like them.

@scarsman Год назад

@@highlandcycles What don't you like? I've heard a lot of good things about them

@BrickBike Год назад

⁠@@scarsmanYou have to pull in the Midwest lever farther to disengage the clutch. Although it’s a lighter pull, it gives a totally different feeling that some people don’t like, and it takes time to get used to. They’re also not plug and play. They need to be adjusted, and they’re finicky, it’s easy to have it adjusted so that your clutch is never fully engaging and is slipping slightly and you don’t realize it.

@scarsman Год назад

@@BrickBike Fair enough. Thanks for the reply! One of the things I've heard some like is the broader friction zone. But we all have different likes for sure. Safe riding!
