@05SVRACER absolutely! Jordan who owns this bike is over 6ft as well and he only changed the bar height.

@Cloud-rp4ev thank you!

@NINE70ENDURO sounds good!

@AnthonyTori we have seen side by sides and trucks go up and around the main bowl but never really on top. Maybe an atv would barely fit up there but definitely nothing bigger than that

I have a slight knock so I plan on removing and adding preload spacers

@DrewbyDoo glad I caught it on camera or no one would of believed me lol. Pretty wild day

What’s your weight. Sounds like you should remove springs

Slavens has a spring chart on their website for weight

@@westcomotofilms3865 I'm 180ish and had no problem fully compressing my 2020 stock susp

The new fork on the 24 KTM 300 XCW has an anti bottoming cartridge installed, so they are not going to bottom out unless you hit something super serious and you weigh a crap load.

@user-cr9yc1gu2d yes this was the shorty carbon version. The pipe is definitely a little more maintenance but easily worth it for the performance. If anything I think it hurt the low end torque a tiny bit but helped the top end. So really just depends what you’re looking for.

Xact spring forks are on all new ktm. Xplor has been discontinued in the enduro models. Xplor is open cartridge and xact is closed cartridge

@@westcomotofilms3865 nope there are two models i checked on the wp site there is a wp xplor pro 7548 and there is wp xact pro 7548 both closed cartridge and both cone valve thats whats confusing me check if you dont believe me😂

@theocepek yes if you are looking at pro forks from wp there are different options. I was talking about the forks that come on the new bikes. Most the pros I know run 6500 kits in their xact forks. I would get with a suspension guy as they will need to be tuned for your riding type

These bikes seem to be sprung on the heavier side. I would ride it and depending on what speed you plan on riding a your weight you can get springs. It’s pretty simple at home but requires a fork cap wrench and spring tool. May be nice to have a shop do it and help set sag for you.

@@westcomotofilms3865 awesome thank you

I just did mine at home. Bought a 50mm fork wrench on A*zon and it was pretty simple. I weigh 240 so I went with racetech .48. Forks are louder with the new springs. More of a rubbing noise against the inner tube of the fork. I checked the forums and it seems like a common complaint. New springs arent polished like the factory springs. So hopefully they wear in and become factory quiet. Cant hear anything when you're riding anyway. But yeah, it's doable on a '24 300xcw at home.

​@@brianjohnson9368did you get from race tech direct and use their find my rate chart. I'm 225 without gear and they recommended .45 for me

@bobbyskillz14 unfortunately a hole was put in the radiator of the 500 that day almost right away. We do have other 500 videos on our channel though if interested. As for music the selection is fairly limited for non copyright options but we try to find decent stuff.

@chris_collings thanks for the comment! I wouldn’t hesitate to take this bike anywhere and know it would do as good as any other bike in any terrain. I haven’t taken it to sand yet but our dirt gets loose enough to be sand sometimes if that counts lol. I think it’s the best cross between a mx bike and an enduro bike. Best of both worlds

@@westcomotofilms3865 That's good to hear because I bought one and will be picking it up in a week or two. I've only owned 450s, currently the yz450fx which is a great bike but I want to try out the 2ts. I love the Southern Utah stuff which looks very similar to where you ride!

@@westcomotofilms3865 any first mods you recommend before taking it on the trail?

@chris_collings I had a 2017 Honda CRF450RX before these new 2-strokes so sounds like your in a similar spot that I was in. That was a great bike but this one is just as powerful and much lighter. Honestly I don’t think they need to much from the factory. My biggest complaint has been the kill/start switch. They combined them on this bike and I just wasn’t a fan of the design so got one of the Moto minded switches. Other than that I’ve only changed out levers on mine to the Midwest shorty levers. Love those things. I would just make sure if you do get one that the factory makes sure it has the most recent tune in it. I got mine right before they updated the mapping tune and that really helped mine. I’ve considered getting a new mid compression head and ecu kit for even more power but haven’t pulled the trigger yet. It doesn’t need need but I would still like more power lol.

@@westcomotofilms3865 Thanks! Can't wait to ride it. Looks like you have some awesome places over there. Maybe my brother and I will need to drive out and have you show us around 😊

Because it’s about the fork spring. You should no how to remove the fork and open it, that commonsense

slavensracing.com/shop/?make=&model=

Slavens racing shows the shock rates from ktm

Can you explain the difference between the two different oil capacities? Basically what is the best way to refill the forks and get the level correct...?

@JamesDeaton-hp5cj one oil capacity is the inner chamber and one is the external chamber. External chamber is the amount you should use for the spring swap

😂 so a year is so later I had JBI set my bike up still air fork with their kit and A speed, single track enduro racing style set up and I couldn’t pinch flat a tube if I wanted to. I also can’t bottom it out! The plush tank cause bottom out at higher speed

@powerwagon3731 it’s a pretty iconic hill in this area, we love it! We use it as a warm up now for the even bigger hills out here! Thanks for the comment!

Tusk crossbite is even better! It’s in our same link

@Cloud9 good eye! That is windmill and it was pretty awesome.

@Ron Corey I haven’t been able to get it out yet but I will definitely follow up with how it performs. They say it’s designed as more of a mid to top end power increase but Johnathan already has this pipe and didn’t notice any low end change. He said it revs higher for sure though.

I went from a gnarly to a fatty and am interested in this pipe for even more braaaaaap

@Ron Corey well I took it out for the first time today. I honestly don’t think it affected the low end at all. But the mid to high is definitely increased. It also seems to be more responsive in general. I need to tweak the power valve settings again, it really changed how this thing runs. I will update again once I find a good power valve setting. I can only compare to the stock setup and it was definitely an increase and I’m super happy with it. Hopes this helps!

@@westcomotofilms3865 Hey thanks for the update.

Who did the wallride at 4:12?

We wish you were there!

Ellsworth

Have to watch out for those!

@dahatchery this is definitely a mix. Still a lot of clips with the 500 in this video. We have more 500af videos than this one, feel free to check them out! We plan on doing more this year after some radiator repairs

Exactly why I’ll be shredding Nevada and Arizona next week!

All awesome bikes! We have a bunch of 2 strokes between our group and love them all! These bikes are all so fun to ride

@hassebrasse3827 I appreciate the feedback! This was one of our earlier videos, we are still learning lol. Thanks for watching!!

Delete and run the more aggressive map. Most of us don’t use a map switch on any bike

@mitchhead6884 such an awesome machine right! I have a Yamaha nytro now I’m hoping is just as good. We set this one up for my dad to tow a bunch of crap.

@SANGER CRUKER I can’t say to be honest. I feel like it does drink fuel fast but doesn’t seem much more than any of our two strokes so hard to say. I’m pretty new to sleds

@Braden Coleman Thank you kind sir. Riding dirt bikes is the best, nothing else matters when you're out there. That's a good looking truck in your picture by the way!

@@westcomotofilms3865 Yeah I used to ride awhile back but haven't in a long time. Thanks! I see you're a fellow Taco owner as well.

@@Mr10mpg Well if you ever want to try a bike or need someone to ride with, we are here! And yes Tacos for life! I had a first gen and now I have had my 2nd gen for over 10 years. Solid as a truck can be!

What are you interested in seeing first? Frame, motor, airbox mods, budget?

@@westcomotofilms3865 I don’t really care what’s first just curious about the whole bike. I have built a ton of the conversion bike and am a huge 500 fan so I’m always curious to see someone else’s builds and how they built them. So dealers choice

You’re not far from grand junction. We should do a ride as well!

Build videos coming soon!

Hill climbs > track

Thanks. If you are ever in western colorado we will share. Don’t be shy! Thanks for the comment and follow for the build videos!

Seems like he's riding it like a thumper, expecting low-end grunt to pull him up out of trouble. Keep that sucker revved.

It makes more low end grunt than any thumper. I race a 300 was just timid as it was my first time on the bike! Thanks for the advice. Check out how we were riding day 2 www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRHAnLdt/

This is awesome. Thanks for sharing your history and experience with us. It’s an amazing area!

We are uploading all videos of the build. Intro coming soon!

Let us know send us a message on Facebook and we will come rip. Our CR500 AF is getting the forks finished then it will be out there

Thanks!

@Austins Gaming Corner heck ya! Thanks for watching man!
