We take 2 brand new 2022 KTM 500 EXC-F bikes and outfit one with all the parts we would want on our dream bike. Did it get better, did it get worse, is the bike amazing stock or does it need these parts?

Picked up a clean 2012. Thing is amazing. Alot of these upgrades can start to add up. I'm loving not stressing about the price on tires, pegs. tank, fuel mods, bars, guards, lights etc. knowing I paid about about $7,000 less than a bike off the showroom floor. Just throwing it out as another option. They run forever if cared for well. Have fun with your builds, cheers.

@marcochavane3124 Год назад

Wow. I know they aren't directly comparable, but I have a 2022 CRF300L Rally. I spent $2,300 in extended travel Rally Raid suspension (adjustable fork cartridges and adjustable rear shock with a remote preload adjuster), $80 for CBR300 cams, $28 for CBR300 Velocity stack, $220 for a cheap full stainless exhaust, and $149 for a tune. Feels like a completely different bike and I have no regrets. I weigh 260 so stock suspension was dangerous on and off-road. Raced a 2022 stock DRZ400SM with an FMF slip on recently and we were neck and neck up until 72mph where the DRZ slowly crept away by a few feet. I've jumped it a few times and it just soaks it all up. At face value people think you're crazy to spend 50% of the cost of the bike to make it safer on and off road, but once it's done you understand the value absolutely there.

@EverySingleSunday Год назад

Yep. It’s wild. These bikes are made to cater to a wide range of people and customizing to yourself, really changes the feel of them

@teephud369 Год назад

Wow! An honest review which tells how great all the bling stuff is, but says you really don't need it?!? Crazy! I picked up a 2020 500 last spring which already had a bunch of the goods on it. Love it! Would love to see more 500 content from you. Did I see a Recluse on your bike? Would love to hear your opinion on it. Mine came with the CX, and I really like it. Only question I have is can you do clutch-up wheelies, or is the technique different? I still can't do wheelies, but am trying to learn...

@EverySingleSunday Год назад

I run a Rekluse cover because it’s stronger and holds a little more oil than OEM. I usually ride lots of technical off-road and I will not run an auto clutch. I’ve tried them and they take too much of the feel out of the bike for me. I know some people love them… but it’s not for me. And I always try and be honest in everything I do. Without credibility, what’s the point Thanks

@rodsmith5812 Год назад

Glad to see you back riding and posting again. I missed the videos. With you having the 6500 cartridge kit and I believe the bladder upgrade as well?? have you ever run the full cone valve spring forks and super trax shock? If so I am interested in your opinion and comparison between the 2 different upgrade paths and what you feel the full fork/shock upgrades gives over the cartridge kit and bladder kit. I have an opportunity to go either direction, obviously the full setup is over twice the price of the cartridge & bladder kits but taking money out of the picture how do the 2 compare.

@EverySingleSunday Год назад

The cones are too stiff for off-road trail riding. They whole body doesn’t flex enough to absorb all the small bumps and stuff. Cones are amazing for GNCC racing or SX type hits As for the shock I haven’t ridden a good trax shock. I had one but never had it setup for me. I also hear great things about the national shock

@rodsmith5812 Год назад

@@EverySingleSunday Thanks for the response. Very interesting feedback regarding the cone valves, I'm glad I asked the question. I assumed, incorrectly it seems they would be the ultimate for all off road riding situations but it sounds based on your experience they are more targeted towards high speed racing with big hits. I was thinking the Xact Pro and possibly the Xplor Pro air forks would have been designed for the high speed, big impact riding situations whereas the Xplor Pro spring forks would have been targeted more towards trail and hard enduro riding where speed is greatly reduced vs the other disciplines.

@EverySingleSunday Год назад

I was so excited when I got my cone valves… I misunderstood as well They are great. But I just prefer the 6500 kit in the stock forks now that I know I also run the stock silver cast clamps that come on the EXC/XCW over the nice ones from XTrig or even the black one from a SX/XC….

@rodsmith5812 Год назад

@@EverySingleSunday Suspension is a complex item it seems. Very interesting to see you also go back to the OEM style clamps found on the EXC/XCW models preferring their characteristics over the split clamp design of the X-trig. I would have thought the split of the X-trig with opposing cinch points (or even the Factory spit triple clamps found on the factory edition bikes with parallel cinch points) to be comparable to the cast clamps vs the solid clamps found on the SX/XC/XCW Erzberg/6 Days bikes but it appears you can feel a difference between the split design and OEM cast clamps. Do you also prefer the enduro triple clamp bar mount setup of 2 or 3 mounting holes vs the single rubber damped option of the SX/XC bikes?

@EverySingleSunday 2 года назад

If you’re looking for a great dual sport you can’t go wrong with the Husky or the KTM. The 350 is also a great choice but I prefer the 500 because I like the HP for long road sections. The 350 is smoother and feels lighter off-road

I am more of an aggressive rider but only weigh 165lb so the suspension on my 2022 500 exc is spot on for me, I use to own a 2018 KTM 500 exc and I had to redo the stock suspension, too soft even for my weight so I totally agree as Beau and Travis stated 2020-2023 stock suspension is better for enduro riding right off the showroom floor.

@StansE250 3 месяца назад

Question from a Newb, if you would: I dislike the “clear” oversized tanks, especially because they look old after sun exposure (the color of the plastics degrade). I get that being able to visually SEE your fuel level is practical. But couldn’t a solid-colored (if available) be fitted with a fuel level sensor, and accomplish the monitoring while not having clear-turned-brownish tank ? Thanks for your content.

@EverySingleSunday 3 месяца назад

They sell them in black or natural. I’ll take a tank I can see the fuel level in over black every time. These don’t change color much. The stock KTM tanks fade and discolor way worse than the Acerbis tanks

I ride like y’all do here in Georgia. I took my voyager pro off to put on the next bike. The 690 enduro R is a 2021 and it has a full Aurora rally kit on it. What do you think?

The only time I would pick a 690 over a 500 is if you have to do lots of road riding at speeds over 60 mph I feel the 500 is a much better bike in every way…. But I’m also not real a fan of the 690 at all.

Thanks for your reply. I used flame out because I think you used the same term saying the newer bikes didn't do it. Mine stalls pretty easier and sounds like a flame out when it does. There are several solutions to that problem that I have read. Some of those roads looked fun from the drone on a medium-high shot. You can't see what the composition of the roads is. On the closer probably Go Pro or whatever shots you can definitely see the rocks if that is the same terrain. Thanks for sharing your story.

Factory SX guys are spending more than 10k on just suspension… parts add up fast if you want the best

Springs for your weight is mandatory in my opinion. Could first try just springs and after that a revalve.

The bikes are good stock. They are better with springs… they get better with valves… and they get better with full cartridge kits. All depends what you want your bike to do. If you enjoy the upgrade, it’s worth the money every time.
