Jeff, you are a good man. You have worked hard all your life modifying KTM's and doing dirty porting work (yes I remember) to keep customers happy. It's great to see your shop grow and have a great parts/sales staff to take care of getting us quality parts. You can then pound out great tech videos and get out to ride more often. I appreciate you don't sell junk at your shop. Get what you pay for comes to mind. Thank you!!

I got a 'Ricky Stator' for my 2023 300 XC.... there is a week or so turn around time. You can also get them from MotoMinded with a core charge..... just send your stator back for a credit so you don't have any downtime. They are getting around 75w...... compared to the 30w stock stator.

I put a 9oz flywheel weight on my 23 250 XC and I pulled it off immediately after my first day of riding with it. Unless your bike is a dedicated 1-2 gear HARD ENDURO bike I would t do it. It changes the motor characteristics drastically. The bike lugged great, but it felt like pulled out a turbo 1000cc razor motor out and put in a non turbo diesel engine. 1-4 gear are SCREEMING just cruising down a two track road and then 5th doesn’t have enough to pull. While it lugged well, it completely killed the snap and liveliness of the bike and made it hard to load the flywheel and get the front end to pop over stuff. The worst part was that 1-4th gear had such an aggressive engine brake feel, it was almost unbearable to ride. Letting off the gas on a down hill wanted to throw me over the bars. This was tested on some slow and flowing single track in American fork canyon for reference

Ricky Stator has a rewind option that works well on my TX. I asked them to supply me with a new rewound stator as to not have to send mine to them. I had it in a couple days. I can now run a headlight and fan with no trouble as well as quick start stops. I still have small jump pack leads installed just in case. Dan at True North has some really good testing info on output.

Thanks for everything you do Jeff! You're such a huge help for all of us. I will be getting a Ricky Stator for my 24 TX300 in the near future for sure.

Keep in mind that while the xc stator is quite a bit lighter, it also has a bigger diameter; this might lead to more rotational inertia , which might bring the 2 flywheels closer to the same overall feeling on the motor. Appreciate the in depth documentation on these machines.

On my 2023 GAS GAS EC300 I learned that it had a lighter flywheel than the 2023 KTM 300 XCW. The GAS GAS power delivery was much more aggressive as a result. The crankshaft part numbers for both bike were identical. The Flywheel, stator and pickup coil were different part numbers. This is because the Flywheel on the XCW was deeper to make it heavier so the stator had to accommodate. I swapped all three components into the GAS GAS so now it’s essentially a KTM 300 XCW. The power delivery is much much better as a result. So I explain all that to ask this, can’t the flywheel stator and pickup be swapped on the 2024. I have to believe that the crankshaft and the engine cases are exactly the same.

Ricky Stator rewinds the stator for the XC. Just received mine back today. Testing shows that it puts out about 75W.

Bummed to see the stator is not compatible. Oh well, thanks for digging into that! Sounds like there are other options though.

I bought a Ricky Stator rewind from Dan at True North Motos for my 350 XC. Good experience! Recommend!

Great video Jeff!

Always good stuff!! Thank you w

That explains why you thought the gearing was a little lower 👍

Great video as always.

Does anyone know if the same is true for the 2024 450 XC-F versus the 450 XCWF/EXC-F stators ? could the EXC-F stator be used in the XC-F bike ?

great info

Manual states it's 110W

SO could you do a stator AND flywheel swap to get the higher output stator on the XC family bike?

We have the rewinds dialed in now Mike@ Ricky stator

2023 ktm 300 xc uses a 28x1 flywheel puller

The manufacturers seem to do a few things that just don't make sense.

Whats up with that foot peg, have they gone back to the normal angle pivot on the new frames.

Hi Jeff, awesome info as usual. This one was quick and to the point which I appreciate too. What is the stock stator output on each bike? Is there enough output on the stock XC-W to install a fan kit without upgrading the stator? Thanks.

Any one know if the XC-W still has a 195W stator in the bike?

Jeff what's your thoughts on clutch weights vs flywheel weights? I added an 11oz clutch weight to my 23 tx300 heritage and any noticeable difference seems minimal

Great information to know before buying. Seems like a bit of a “screw you” to the consumer to make it difficult to swap parts. Also seems like it would increase production costs to not have more in common as they appear they should…

Sprry to ask because you stated in the video. Are you sure the W puller is a 26mm x 1.25 puller? RH or LH? Do you sell them? Btw, love the channel, i have a new 24 W 300. I also have bought 2 slavens Lectrons since 2017 from you.

Hey Jeff can you do another "Top 3 enduro Tires" video... the last one is from 2019 and im curious if anything has changed

Great video Jeff! I’m curious, do you use the recommended motorex oils for the fuel mix and gear box or do you like something else?

What the difference between an xc-w, xc and exc

so as a complete assembly (stator/flywheel) they bolt up in one and the other ?

Can the XC-W and XC flywheel be swapped to accommodate the so the XC-W stator can work on the XC?

@slaverace1 What is your opinion/take on the TSP compression heads and re-map options for adding increased bottom end response & also over rev to the stock TBI XC's? Are these items worth the investment? Thank you in advance! I have a full system Pro Circuit exhaust set up which does some of this already, & live in the Boise, Idaho area, @ 2,700 feet & up.

Hi Jeff, do you know the output of the 2024 exc stator, hopefully a little more than the 2023 thanks Chris

Could we lighten the 24 W flywheel? Or mapping be better?

I am getting ready to take delivery on a 24 TX 300. This issue was brought to my attention just going through you tube videos. This is concerning. I ride a mix of single track woods and open desert riding. Is it possible to put the rotor/flywheel from the XCW/TE on the TX/XC? I can see that the stator is not interchangeable but what if you replaced the whole thing? I know this would add flywheel effect but not sure if that would be the end of the world given where and how I ride. Comments?? Need a solution to run fans and lights etc.

At least KTM could have used the same stator in both bikes , wow how cheap they are. The bikes need a fan and some riders like a front light, so most owners will need to change out the stator costing us more money . KTM has been fixing somethings and screwing up others. thanks KTM.

Hello Slaven, is the flywheel the same on XCW 2024 and TPI 2021/22/23
