I'm keen to try a TSP PV cover. Looks like they enhance bottom end power, without taking anything away from the top. I'll be sure to make a video when I get one...

The TSP map works great on my bike. Highly recommended. My switch to a 9mm clutch master has resulted easier clutch pull with one finger. I was looking at aftermarket clutch levers which give a mechanical pull advantage, but for now I'm going to stay with a regular one.

@@TokyoOffroadhave you looked into the Altrider levers! I put one on my 2024 300 XC-W! What a game changer. 40% less clutch pull and the best ergonomic comfort I’ve ever had. Check them out. You won’t be disappointed. Cheers 🍻

The TSP High compression head is also an absolute beast on the low and mid range. It wakes the bike up completely

Yes, I rode it with the stock map, before deleting the the oil injection. It felt quite rich off the bottom. When I deleted the oil injection and started using premix (I use 60:1) it improved a little, but still felt too rich. There was a partial throttle rich burble. Switching to the TSP map and it runs very well.

The version of the map I'm currently using is 3BE-24-I (unchanged from when I first installed the TSP map): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/or-AhbRlmbCYemQ.htmlsi=-qw1OtbpSRuY7Ihn&t=279 I see that the latest version is 3BE-24-J. Version notes: "This is the latest tune for the 2024 300EXC (XC-W). This tune has changes to the Green map compared to the previous 3BE-24-I tune. The changes involve adjustments to fuel, ignition and powervalve at low throttle and mid/high revs to reduce the engine knock that is experienced on some bikes in this zone. The Green map is the aggressive/tuned map. The White map is softer with more fuel, less ignition advance, slower powervalve opening and is better suited to hard enduro or slower technical riding. Can be used with the stock pipe and silencer or the FMF Fatty pipe. IMPORTANT: Set TPS to 0.40v with both red and yellow adjusters backed all the way out." I haven't experienced any engine knock with 3BE-24-I. But I'll update the map next time anyway...

Both Meteor and Vertex 2-stroke cast pistons have good reputations so I think either is fine. KTM often use Vertex as OEM. Personally I always use OEM.

He does use a rear TMD brake disc and brake caliper gaurd.

That's right, I use a TM Designworks rear disc with caliper guard. I forgot to mention it in the video, but it works well and haven't bent a rotor so far. You can see it more clearly in this video when I fit the Crosslinked Components swingarm guards: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sNibjMp_sq2-Xac.htmlsi=pCf5Ua_Aq3XhUDuU&t=240

@@TokyoOffroad I rode the bike today with the medium compression head , definitely more torque on the bottom also fuel mileage went up even more than with the TSP mapping alone. extremely happy well worth the money thanks for the advice, riding the rocky trails in the state of Maine north America

I am interested to hear about this as well!

I still love the Dal Soggio Sphere Cartridges which I have fitted on my 2017 KTM 300 EXC. No plans to change them for anything else. It's difficult to compare these directly to the XPLOR closed cartridges on my 2024 as there are many other differences. What I will say is that unlike the stock 2017 forks (which I didn't like at all, felt very unstable and deflected) the 2024 performs well in stock form. Could it be better? Yes and Dal Soggio recently announced a bladder kit (XR Kit) which can be fitted to 2024 WP enduro model closed cartridge forks and replaces the stock piston/spring pressure reservoir. This should result in improved plushness and grip. Keen to try it and will make a video if I get it. Shock Treatment have an interesting video which gives some detail regarding the XR kit: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ieB_rcqf3sjPpIU.html

@@TokyoOffroadI found a gem on eBay. Bladder forks that had a red cone valve mid valve… $500 USD.

My riding buddy (he appeared a few times in the video video) is on a 2024 300 Har Enduro model. His bike is stock too. He rode mine on Saturday for the first time and was surprised at the difference in power. He said the TSP map and head has much better torque and responsiveness. But if you're happy with the stock map performance and way your bike runs fair enough... Regarding suspension, yes, the 2024 is easily the best stock suspension I've had on a bike and very rideable stock for what I do. But I do like mods if I think they will further improve my enjoyment, which is why I'm considering a bladder for the shock and a bladder pressure reservoir for the forks.

Yes, I use a flange guard. They are not expensive and provide some good protection to help prevent breaking the exhaust flange on the engine. Whether you fit a pipe guard, or not, it's a good idea to fit a flange guard... Cancel Reply

I haven't tried, but doubt you could do it.

I find the 9mm Brembo master has a broader friction zone, which for me makes it easier to modulate power in technical riding. If the increase on overall lever throw (compared to the stock 10mm) I'd recommend the 9mm master to anyone who rides technical terrain and uses the clutch a lot. Regarding the Mid West lever, I personally haven't used one because multiple riding buddies have tried it and not been happy with it. Adjustment seems to be very tricky (either dragging, or slipping). And personally I don't like the very square profile shape of the lever. One of my buddies ended up with a Clake One light clutch which he really liked. For me I'm happy with the performance and feel of the Brembo 9mm.

@@TokyoOffroad 9mm it is

No, the fork protection decals which came with my 2024 KTM 300 EXC state "XACT CC". You can see them here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b7ycgdWDxq20dYE.htmlsi=YOCjMznZQ-FJ-Ybk&t=198

Check that the fuel line connector (left side under the tank) is securely plug together. If that's OK and it still doesn't start try a new spark plug.

I'm using 13/50 gearing. Works well for my riding.

No, I'm using 13/50 gearing. Stock is 13/45 on the 2024. If you want to stick with the 45 sprocket my recommendation would be to use 12/45 if you ride similar terrain. I did talk about this in the video here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h6egfJVylrOwppc.htmlsi=CelMc5Dm5oZKPspf&t=884

@@TokyoOffroad thank you!

Sorry to hear that. What fuel are you using? I use high octane pump gasoline (100 RON) and no engine knock, either stock, or currently using TSP medium comp head with premix 60:1, sea level to 1,500m. If you're using low octane fuel at low altitude it will be more prone to knocking.

Oh no! Hope you can get it running again quickly

@@TokyoOffroad thank you .. me too. I'm lost without my bike . It heat seized and stopped. I didn't try kicking it so I'm hoping the bore is not ruined as it's fairly new ...
