Hey guys, today we are going to do something very different, I will take 2018 Six Days Edition KTM 450EXC for a solo dual sport trip to explore some new places!
This bike was build by Jay Clark ‪@dirtbiketv1‬ - see the info below.
SAR Off Road makes a grip of custom plug and play items for the KTM EXC’s and these make a big difference for the guy modifying his EXC. After a few trips on the trail you learn of things you want to change and after running your battery dead a few times from keeping the key on you will want to call them up and get their parts that are much better for the more trail guy. The switches for the lights and blinkers allow you run the Clutch perch where you would like since it is slimmer and the same goes for the front brake side with the starter/kill switch.
Blinkers were custom set up and tucked in from SAR with blinker relays. Also on this build got custom Taco Moto Front Blinkers

Riding from your garage, connecting new trails by road, stopping for lunch, hitting the gas pump to keep riding all day, are all reasons why I love my 450EXC. I love woods riding and a little moto too but man nothing beats a great day of dual sporting with friends!

Been subscribed for a long time, let’s just say I was part of a lot of this channels child hood :) Came from your old video, ktm 300 exc 2019 vs 2004. Here’s my predicament : Started 2 going on 3 years ago on a junkier ‘73 F7 175, while riding will never die for me, the bikes getting boring. It’s way short for my awkwardly long legs, it’s heavy, it’s got all the weight in the wrong places, and its power is kinda laid back. Anyway I’ve been keeping my eye on marketplace lately for pretty much anything, gotta admit my dream bike is a yz250f anything above 2010 but everybody selling around me is wayyy over priced. Been checking out 90’s XRs, DRs, and a few WR’s which are also pretty high. Recently a 2004 250 exc popped up for 2400, looks fairly clean, about an hour and a half drive. My dilemma, I’m 16, going on 17, I am extremely smart with my money, I’m not a spender child :) Still trying to stay under 2500 though. While I know 2400 is probably a couple hundred dollars high, do you think it’s worth checking out? I have no interest in motocross, however I’ve considered trying a hare scramble or something someday. I’ve heard the 250 exc are absolute woods rockets, which is good here in Michigan. My questions, would a 250 exc be to much power for me? It’s a big jump, but one that I know I can handle with the right amount of care. I think I’m fairly good, atleast I know I caught on way faster than many others, and fully exceeded expectations that other riders had for me as a beginner. Please note that I’m 6’3” with all my height in my legs, and I only way 130 lbs (yes, scrawny) And another question - Are these bikes reliable maintenance wise? I’m not worried about normal maintenance like oil changes, I always stay on top of those things, I just mean the money maintenance like top end rebuilds and what not. If you have time to read and respond to this, great. If not, that’s alright to, I basically wrote a book. Which ever one you do though, thanks in advance. And since I leave comments like this all the time, I’m sure I’ll see you again in the next couple months.

@dirtniron 3 жыл бұрын

Eli, I think its a good idea to check that bike out. 2 stroke KTM enduro model is a really good option for the riding you described. Stay safe as you ride it, have a respect for the power and you should be ok. Good luck man!

@Howling-Mad-Murdock 3 жыл бұрын

That’s the sort of riding I do on my exc450, although it’s a bit greener here than there! Wouldn’t mind your weather though! The seat is a literal pain in the arse after a few hours, but other than that it handles road sections pretty well. Can you get Michelin Tracker tyres over there? It’s a road legal mx tyre, pretty good grip but wears quick on the road.

@dirtniron 3 жыл бұрын

yea, weather is great but wouldn't mind little more rain. I am not sure about Michelin tires here, I ride Dunlop most of the time. thanks for sharing!

The only time when the 450 its better , its when you are a tall guy or a little heavier, i adore the 450 over the 500 its a little more responsive , can ride it everywhere if you are a big boned man , also the sound its better , sell so quickly 👍

Man, those are some really nice trails for just about any kind of riding that you would want. I don't understand why the state requires 'street legal' on some of those trails. I'm assuming you're in California and they do just about everything different there. Although I'm not into 4-strokes (too big/heavy for an old man) I'd still like to throw a leg over the 450 you're riding. (P.S. Just got informed by orthopedic doctor last week that they can't do another operation on my back to help with pain, etc. Not enough left of it.....I guess you can only rebuild an old Ford so many times; so I'll just live with what I've got. I bet I've got more titanium in me that these new bikes have.....no lie!). Anyway, looks like a fun trail. P.S. Good clutch control in the rock pile! Love the smell of pines.....when I was young I was a National Park Service ranger in the Rockies and always loved the pines and their wonderful smell. Really miss those days except for times on the fire line.
