At 42 years of age after watching MidWest MX among many other Enduro channels I got myself a 2014 KTM 300EXC .I’m no Billy Bolt but slowly and surely I’m improving week by week just wanted to say cheers for letting us know you don’t have to be good to enjoy the happiness and de-stressing doing Enduro on a KTM (or any model of your choice) can bring cheers lads 👍💯

If you can, call RaceTech and see what they recommend for your weight. I'm not where a ride or drive in is possible, so my local guy does my suspension. My friends that live east take their bikes to shops that specialize in Penske, Race Tech or Traxxion Dynamics. My KTM has RaceTech front and rear and my FJR has RaceTech up front and a Wilbers in the rear. The initial purchase is stupid expensive, but it's worth the money!

When you said, "I'm a novice rider and I don't know if I'll be able to tell a difference," I was thinking, "Man, he's in for a surprise!" So many people don't understand how much properly tuned suspension changes the way the bike feels. Funny enough, I just had mine rebuilt, because it was time. Took my first ride with it last weekend. It amazes me how much suspension can degrade and we don't notice. I had to adjust my riding because the bike is back to being smooth and responsive. The bike feels brand new and handles so much better! It's money, because I don't have the proper tools for suspension, and I hate dealing with the mess, but it's worth every penny! Have fun!

Tell ya what man, I’m far from pro material, but I bought my 500exc off a buddy that had just sent the suspension off to Race Tech, and I would have never spent what he had to have it done. HOWEVER, after owning and riding a bike now with tricked suspension, I get it. Makes you way better than you typically are 😂

I’ve had four WR450’s with KYB suspension. Stiff and harsh. It’s fine for motocross but the reality is that unless you’re Cody Webb or Ken Roczen it’s way too stiff for enduro or woods riding. I removed one spring from one fork and ran it as an air fork. Just tapped some threads into the fork cap and voila! Easy to adjust the ride. While all my friends complain about arm pump I’m just fine. A good thing as I’m 63 and my riding buddies are all in their thirtys. The manufacturers ALL have their suspension set up for more or less fast moto style riding. The Beta x trainer was, I think the first bike where a manufacturer took a leap of faith and designed their suspension specifically for woods riding. And we all know how big a hit that bike was. Cheers from north eastern Ontario Canada.

The moment i put in proper suspension on a 1250 Bandit the difference was clear in a way I didnt expect: Having the suspension do its job properly means that a lot of the chatter/ pogo stick behavior disappeared, letting you focus more on line selection and the other aspects of riding instead of having your senses inundated by all of the inputs the suspension can't deal with.

Good suspension makes a huge difference no matter if your a novice rider or an expert. You can be a total newbie and still hard on your forks.. So glad you can feel the difference. 👍 Bottom line = Air forks suck, the Austrians are just mugging people off selling bikes with them fitted as standard. 😆
@shaunthomas501
@shaunthomas501 Жыл бұрын
So what's the full price after all those changes. In Australia the bikes about $18 000+ So $22-$24 000. If I brought a new bike and had to spend money on it for the TPI to ran properly. Thats just ridiculous. I would have sold it. KTM don't care about there customers. My next bike would be SHERCO OR BETA.

I have the ktech spring conversion on my 23 ktm and it's so much better than the stock stuff. Doesn't beat me up and tire me out as much. Much better feel and traction in turns. I really wish ktm would just give up on the air forks already they're awful but I dont see that happening with all the money they have invested in it. Love ktm but having to spend $1,500 to have properly working suspension is kinda ridiculous.
