I'm so excited to see the rebuild of this bike. Ps, it's an Enduro bike. You have to leave that headlight on ya knucklehead 😆. But maybe replace it with a cooler LED unit.

@bilboswaggens2975 25 дней назад

It also depends on where you live. Like in michigan for example, if your bike comes with a light from the factory it has to be on while riding in the trails. Stupid law. But i have friends who have gotten tickets for it

@lithonitee_3285 27 дней назад

Put turn signals, a plate and speedo. Go on some adventures with it. Already has a head lamp and tail light.

350 4 stroke one of the best trail bikes on the market that’s for sure.

@DRockDreamin 27 дней назад

You gotta keep the headlight and brake light. They can be street legal and really improve the value of the bike especially if you have the title approved for street use.

@christopheravery5808 26 дней назад

You should definitely put a rekluse auto clutch pack back in it, it would also help you out riding in the trails. Also, the bike was a race bike, you can’t just rebuild it without bringing it back to its “race bike glory”. Build that bike as if you were a “race team owner” and was trying to build the best XC bike you could to have a rider win in the pro class… I think that would be super cool, and if you know someone that is super good on dirt bikes then take them to a few races and enter them to race for “Team BCG”.

@MichaelSabo 15 дней назад

I decided to go with the stock clutch for now but I do plan to bring the bike back to the original owner who is an amazing rider and have him give it a rip once again!

@owensbama1923 27 дней назад

That was always one of the cons people didn't like when they started coming out with the four strokes. The money to repair it. Most people don't know how to rebuild a four stroke like they can a 2stroke and the money is ridiculous.

@reggiexp69 23 дня назад

i mean a 4 stroke has so many more moving parts... sure it last longer overal but once its breaks your in for a bad time and expensive. with vavles cams timing alot can go bad.. 2 stroke last less long but are easy to rebuild overal just piston cylinder and ur ready to go again

@ToyAndBeyond 27 дней назад

I got my ltz400 cylinder head and cam caps fixed when it was scarred up like that for cheap. Been about 3 years no issues.

@MichaelSabo 27 дней назад

Where did you send it for repair?

@shoes121255 27 дней назад

Check out engine dynamics or fastheads, they may be able to fix that head. Also in some cases the cams can have aluminum transfer that looks like scoring, might be able to clean them up. In regards to the lights, personally I'd keep them since you dont have a dirt bike with lights. I always keep mine on riding on trails as it gives a little extra warning to riders coming head on (we have 2 way trails).

@MichaelSabo 27 дней назад

Good point with the headlight - I am going to look into the head repair as well. The cams are metal on metal friction but I can always drop some muriatic acid on it to see if it bubbles from traces of aluminum transfer.

@chrismayo256 25 дней назад

Dunlop mx34 front and rear for woods racing, by far the best tire on the market. That bike in stock form is amazing, not mods necessary. Those aer forks aren’t bad as people talk about, just find you a decent pressure and dial them in. You’re going to like it more than the kawi 😉

@bachforelle11 16 дней назад

I worked in a motorcycle repair shop and now i work in an engine repair machine shop in Germany. We have many ktm and husqvarna 350s with similar damage. We weld the cylinder head with a laser welder and then machine it, because the new heads were not available here. Usually the whole repair including engine installation costs not much more than 4000 dollars. 8000 dollars is crazy for that kind if repair.

For the tire you should get a Michelin Starcross, five intermediate tire. It’s honestly one of the best tires I’ve driven on the dirtbike so far doesn’t wear to quick and the traction is all around amazing.

@NathalieDavis-eg6pf 26 дней назад

I had a 2014 350 XCF with the Recluse clutch (and did get the suspension done), have a 690 Enduro R now. Don't trash it. KEEP THE RECLUSE! They probably ran it for tons of hours without keeping the recluse adjusted (Recluse is great customer service and has tons of info how to keep adjusted and in good condition). That bike with a recluse is unbeatable in the woods. This bike needs to be saved and keep the recluse. I guarantee when you ride it, you will want to trade that 250 F you bought (I know because I've own both) and regret selling the 350 XCF.

@ktmeric66 24 дня назад

I've had a huge variety of KTM's starting in 1990. That bike will be a ripper. Not sure what kind of trails you'll be riding but super tight and slippery terrain will be challenging(that thing is just like a motocross bike) Desert like terrain that is more wide open and corners you can power through is where that will shine. I ride typically wet, rocky terrain with trees down and clay rutted hillclimbs, and that bike would kill me. The xcfw is better in that type of stuff. If you do ride slippery stuff, then adding a flywheel weight, keeping the Rekluse and adding different ecu mapping would help. FMF Q4 would add a spark arrestor without being much louder

So excited for this build! I bought a 350 new back in 2014, it was an awesome bike. Also I recently picked up a Husqvarna 501 which had a damaged head and I had to buy a new head, valves and piston kit for it. I went all OEM which cost a lot, in hindsight I could have picked up a Wossner piston and saved some $$. I think that is a good choice!

Don't know if it's better aluminum and steel or better castings but the machining of parts on European motorcycles is so much better than Japanese. I watched videos of Ducati and Aprilia engine rebuilds and the machining and finishing of the parts is amazing. That KTM has that quality look too. Are European bikes better than Japanese that's debatable. Should be a fun build.
