In this video I unbox and install a medium compression CNC head from Two Stroke Performance. Its going onto my 2017 KTM 300 XC-W. Stay tuned after the install for my impressions of this awesome CNC head. Thanks!!
Nice real life application. The working class (non sponsored, modest income) guys need more videos like this. Mr. Vaughan takes his time, seeks out help when needed and ends up with great results. I believe all bikes can use some type of work to "make them better performing" and this video was a strong testimony to that. Thank you sir.
I just ordered one for a 17exc, and was thinking of upgrading to a lectron carbie but Two Stroke Performance recommended their set up Keihin cabie for the reason you were experiencing firstly with the leftron. I haven’t been happy with the Mikuni. Looking forward to get it on and see results.
Nice work eh Jono, compulsory Tim Hortons coffee ahh that takes be back 20 years when I was there last. I hear you re: jetting.. its gotta be just right for me too mate, nothing to lose your hair over though :p
Hey Jono, im having trouble with tuning my 17 300exc with a lectron carby, im running a very similar setup to you and I was wondering what metering rod youre running and the rough measurements that you have it set to. Im having trouble with it gurgling in the 5th and 6th gears at about 120kph. I really hope you can help me out. Thanks
Hi Jonathan. Nice overview of the TSP head for carb bikes. I have an 18 300 that is running very well with JD jetting, jet block gasket fix, and float height adjusted. Do you think the low compression head would be better for technical single track ? I ride mostly at McNutt in Maple Ridge. Cheers
Yeah with the stock carb running well I'd probably go for the low compression head for McNutt type riding. My bike felt like a bit of an animal with the stock carb plus JD Kit and the medium head. The Lectron really smooths it out for me so I'm happy with my setup. I know my bike would be good for McNutt.. its just the rider that would be the weak link! 😂
I can't remember exactly what the settings were now, but I just used the guide for my elevation and temperature. I may have favoured a slightly richer setting for the mid and upper ranges due to the head.. I'm guessing I did that. Probably moved the clip and maybe went a size up with the main jet for my elevation etc.
@@nick4872 I have only ridden it once a feels good so far. Plenty of power but not aggressive. Will be good more the tight techy Alberta and BC riding I do.
Thanks! As I mentioned at the end of the video I'm running an Lectron carb.. H-Series to be specific. After installing the head I had to make some adjustments to it by putting in a different metering rod. I really don't enjoy jetting, thats why I have the Lectron. It doesn't require the same effort to set-up as a stock carb with jets and needle changes etc. If you don't want to spend the money on a Lectron or a SmartCarb, I'd suggest getting a JD-Jetting kit for your bike and following the instructions that come with that kit. It will get your jetting really close, most of the time. Relatively cheap as well.
Where in Canada? I'm in Alberta, and very seriously contemplating the TSP kit for my TE300i. Convenient since BRC is now the Canadian distributor for TSP and is right here in Calgary.
