Review 2024 ktm 300 xcw 55 hours 

Its not bad. Its a gripper tho. But its not hard as a rock. I try not to sit down very much. But my rear connected with it for several hours during a 24 hr event and i have no complaints

I do not, i am at 100 hours now, and preparing a 100 hour review. I have abused this bike in many races and rides. I will take the top apart and scope walls and piston and post up

@MrDirtrdr22 thanks for the reply I've got 40 hours on mine and it's been doing it since new. I just ordered an erm to reflash it and see if that helps out.

Yes

There are reports of guys at 100 hours on the 24 xcw right now, stock top end. And some say they are over 200 on the 23 xc 300. My goal with this bike take it as far as possible

@@MrDirtrdr22 Thankyou. I’ve got a 23 YZ250FX and this 300XCW looks appealing.

​@@fattie2550e new xcw are amazing. Ive been a Yamaha die hard all my life. But i needed a bike more suited for what i do. And Yamaha has yet to produce. The new TBI fuel injection on the 24 gets rid of every carb issue and TPI issue.

It is the xc/xcf tank yes

Would you mind telling me the name of the tank? I just got a 2024 XC and I want to look into a bigger tank! And is the sxs skid plate the one with the metal rear hooks? Thanks!

Watching the video now

@@brandonwl personally feel he has an underlying deep seeded issue with ktm. As with all mass produced products, there are bound to be issues. He goes over some decent points, but nothing to be scared or worried about. Stay up on your maintenance and keep an eye on the bike. There's thous2of guys out there on 24s with zero issues but they get overlooked.

@@MrDirtrdr22 Thank you! I feel better now

I rode an xc and it was fun. I didnt want the hassle of turning it into the xcw. The xcw had bigger stator and more accessories

Good to know!

It's always the sad people who like to say sad things. Literally a universal truth. Sorry for your sadness Pete Busch.

Yup. Thats for sure

It's not a huge increase in maintenance especially for the return on fun and ability you receive. Like, so what you may need to replace the top end after 2 years of riding? Mayne not. It's a small maintenance investment you can save up over time for. It seems everyone who would take a ktm but doesn't ever buy one is using the "Maintenance" excuse but its wayy over exaggerated. I have a 2018 500 excf with well over 10k miles and 400+ hours. The valves are all still in spec. The engine has been flawless. My buddies who have 500's and 300's all have great dependability.

​@ScottRedmond-mz9ko my 2016 500 has 17,500 miles on the stock top end. I will be doing a rebuild this summer but it still doesn't burn oil and runs like it did 8 years ago.. if not better
