Thanks-- easy is good

Thanks glad you like it- Easy it is

No fuel injection on these bikes- -sorry

Same here. I have an older 08 300 xcw and coming from a wr250f I feel way more confident on this bike for some reason.

I am going to try this in the next few months

Very cool-- see there you can be all good with the stock one. I have not run the STIC but with the regular Keihin we think it is great and the added power should not be any issue long term. As for the cable adjustment you are correct- I have a video coming out soon that shows how to solve that by cutting the top 2mm off of the top of the carb --- Easy deal. Yes also you are right on the other issues as well. I think its a bigger deal on the XC-W than the XC for some reason. But we have over 100 hrs on these now and dont think there is any long term concerns. Good luck and glad you watching and enjoying your 300

Joel Cowdrey Your comments in regards to increased wear on engine components and the need for “increased head space” are unfounded. Additionally, not all users are running race fuel and still have success. Obtaining the metering block is not difficult at all. You honestly sound like a troll.

Yes P3 has one to fit the stock pipe now. They will have the FMF in the next month or so.

The XC and TX300s are the same Only subframe and plastic are the changes. Engine all the same

@@dirtbiketv1 thanks for getting back with me so you're saying the XC has a 6-speed gearbox

Yes

None with the Keihin or Lectron on

Decal Works

Stock spring is good and we start at flush-- then dial in-- the better jetted or carb you have set up the more you will need to go in- we are about 2 turns in

Yes for sure- I think for different terrains one can be best over the other one. However, I am still leaning towards the 300XC as best trail bike and the 350XCF as a best bike for a guy mixing moto and trails.

Yes -- we will do more direct comparison very soon -- want to get them both on the tight tough trails.

XC for sure-- Not as stuck in wrong gear and better suspension.

With Slow Trail riding we are good 50-60 with stock tank-- Which on some of our rides is 5-6 hours so plenty good. We do go with the larger IMS tank when available to be safe.

Awesome thank you!

Haha-- OK I get your question. In stock form the bike really is still great and you can live with the stock Carb. However, for the trails we ride we want more protection. That is why we will add the handguards, skid plate, pipe guard etc-- Also the fan and coolant catch can will help when stuck in gnarly situations.

Dirt Bike TV ok again that’s only a little of what you did. You changed pretty much every aspect of the bike. From looks to suspension to gearing to controls. For a regular joe to build the bike you have your talking 14 grand with the bike. Fc just charged me 1100 for my 18 yz suspension Hinson clutch another grand etc etc. I’m sure it’s an insanely good bike but it’s out of reach for us and the guys that buy a 19 300 will not have close to the beast you built.

@@mcsbikelife3829 they have just done the basics. Every bike raced in the desert here gets hand guards, pipe guard, skid plate, spark arrestor, steering stabilizer and suspension. It's just part of the buy in.

Hobblecreekkid that is bs I don’t agree with you at all.

Hobblecreekkid do you think racing on the east coast is different some how????????

I would go with a 250XCF or 350XCF if I were to go four stroke. Also Yamaha YZ250FX is a great bike.

@@dirtbiketv1ok thanks for getting to me, much appreciated.

I have a KTM 300 and a Beta 430rr race. Love both bikes, but if i could only have one I would keep the Beta. Just a bit more versatile especially when you're in more open higher speed terrain. But still holds it's own in the tight gnar.

Cycra Ultra Pro Bend

Thanks, they look nice. That bike is fantastic!@@dirtbiketv1

I do agree that the price of bikes and two-strokes is way crazy.

@@dirtbiketv1 Yeah but the ongoing price of a two stoke will be 10 times lower and way less to work on. 2 smokers for me!!!

Winner Winner-- so we do this on every video to see who is really paying attention and you are first. Haha -- We actually didnt catch it till we started it that day and saw it bouncing around as we reved it up. So, stuff gets missed sometimes.

Not this bike.

Get a kx500 then

@@dungdippedindian3933 I'll have to borrow money off Gus Fring.

Haha -- good catch my friend! When you see us riding in off road conditions with a tire that looks like a knobby it actually is the Dunlop AT81 EX this tire is a knobby but with the gummy trials compound -- Kinda the best of both worlds. www.dunlopmotorcycletires.com/dunlop-introduces-new-geomax-at81-ex/

www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p/742/84568/Dunlop-Geomax-AT81EX-Tire Here is real world pricing on it for you.

@@dirtbiketv1 gotcha. Unfortunately it will take a long time to restore my confidence in the AT81, even with a different compound. The OEM ones that come on the KTM's are not my favorite tire. But I live in the pnw where it's difficult to find tires that work well in the wet conditions we see most of the year.

@@CW-up7xv Ya for sure-- try a gummy -- But not if riding fast connector roads etc--- For tight stuff only really.

We stay legal most everywhere -- on this video we are in sand and rocks (no chance of a fire).

@@dirtbiketv1 I realize that, in fact I believe the whole spark arrestor deal is a crock. Its a hold over from regulations on chainsaws which in fact can start fires since the combustion chamber and exhaust exit can be measured in inches. There is no way a spark from the combustion chamber of a dirt bike could maintain enough heat during it's long journey (probably at least 6 feet) from the combustion chamber to the exit of the silencer to start a fire. But logic is rarely the basis of laws and regulations. That being said whether you are in a combustible area or not, you are still in violation of the law. More of a bad PR potential than a fire. Headline: Dirt Bikers Fined For Being a Fire Hazard In Warner Valley. Love your channel. Keep up the good work.

@@enmerdeur Dude, shut your stupid mouth. He is clearly riding around rocks with no chance of starting a fire. Why would you even bring that up? Go cry somewhere else.

@@anglico92 John, the personal rancor reflected in that remark I don't intend to dignify with comment. But I would like to address your attitude of hopeless negativism. Consider the lilies of the goddamn field... or hell, take a look at Jay here as your paradigm of hope!

Stop dreaming
