@@kimchaves5271 I don't think it would be a bad idea to upgrade the battery if you decide to buy a XC. The radiator fan can run down battery sometimes.

It is softer, but nothing like the older xcw/te models in the past that had super soft forks. The forks work well. Pretty much the same as my 6500 kit on my TX kind of feel.

It's all personal preference. I'm used to my astra handle bars that have a much lower sweep than the stock bars. I went to a 13/48 gear ratio which worked well for me. Ended up using a 13/47 which I found more usable

Also it is a typical 300, that is hard to stall. I just like lower gearing thanks

There both pretty similar from low to mid power band. TX has quite a bit more on top. The TE is easier to ride in the tough stuff I find.

Thank you 👍

@@pirixmartian4457 the tx is premix

@@KXCvin-W all the "25's TE's come stock with Brembo now.

@@whiskeythrottledave Thats awesome bout time. the brake techs sucked. I have a 2020 250 with magura they arent the best either but i love my TE.

@@whiskeythrottledave damn i ordered the Pro not realizing this lol

@@paulbaker7489 congrats on the new sweet bike!

@@benjaminparrinello318 It's called a Stepramp.

Both bikes are very close down low to mid power. The TX/XC have more power in the upper power range. Have almost 10 hours on TE now.

@greatsouthernsky thanks for the kind words! There is really no reason but getting some extra cash between friends

@@whiskeythrottledave do the bike ride the same? Looking at purchasing xc or tx.

@@greatsouthernsky If you get a '24 they both have brembo, so very close to the same. That's the way to go. TX sits lower which works well with my short legs.

Looking at te300 heard suspension is softer ,do you know what you bikes weight is full? Coming off a 125x with 2.8 gallon tank so probably like 220 full

@@markvogel457 I have never put the te300 on the scale. From what I've seen on other channels it's somewhere around 241 pounds I believe

Yeah it's a favorite of mine too!

@@lucasbarbosa-go6ts No, it's just west of Calgary Alberta

@@hiby5700 I've had them all..You can't beat the torque on the new Xc's.

Avenza maps I use

That's a tough one. Most of the new bikes are really good. Currently the '24 300 XC is my favorite. Hope to do some harescrambles with 350 this year.

It is the universal trail tech fan.

The graphics are from my '23 KTM 350xcf factory edition. You can get same graphics from eBay which I have done this winter.

Hi there, I actually prefer the linkage suspension. Bike squats down better going down steep hills and seat height is slightly lower. I also like that the xc is premix. Don't have to worry about a oil pump failing on the trail. The XC is slightly lighter and has 9 more hp which is quite a difference.

I wanted the XC-W but prefer the linkage over pds and prefer premix over the oil pump. prefer the lighter weight of the xc too. considering the transmission is no different between xc and xcw I guess I'll grab an XC instead... or maybe a TE 300.. if only the yz 250x had counterbalanced shaft / hydro clutch / electric start... @@whiskeythrottledave

Suspension is a little stiff for me at 160 pounds. Just got lighter springs installed and a revalve. Can't wait to try new suspension in the spring.

There both great bikes! Depends what you want. XC is more aggressive. Te has a softer suspension and more mellow power band

⁠@@whiskeythrottledave sounds like I’ll be going with the XC. Thank you.

It was a good bike, just didn't like the braktec brakes. Sold it to a buddy awhile ago.

The brakes were that bad?

@@nightrider4370 Front brakes are not the greatest, but wasn't the reason I sold the bike. If you check my channel, I don't keep bikes for very long lol!

I took the shroads off my 350 factory edition

It's a little stiff for my weight at 160 pounds. Probably going to revalve and put lighter fork springs in this winter.

Thanks man!

Hi there, no I have had no issues with either of my tbi bikes regarding fuel pickup issues and as far as I know neither has any of my riding buddies that have the new tbi bikes. Congrats on the new TX!

@@whiskeythrottledave Awesome. Takes some worry off my mind for some longer rides/races. Thanks for the info!

The '24 xcw lost 9 HP. Not the '24 xc shown in this video

That is good to know!@@whiskeythrottledave

Compared to my '23 300xcw the white map on the tbi definitely has more power everywhere in the power band but is still very manageable.

@@whiskeythrottledave I’m sure a tsp kit or a flywheel weight would help even more

@@whiskeythrottledave also curious how these new stock tbi bikes compare to a tpi with a tsp kit on. I guess I just need to find a demo event.

@@coalcountryrider Not sure. Don't even know anyone personally that has had the work done.

@@whiskeythrottledave I have it on my 20 xc and it’s a night and day difference.

Thank you!

@@eighty_eight I’m not lying. The 300xc stock is practically unstoppable. It can tractor up stuff in third. The suspension stock with stock settings is better than my custom suspension on my older bikes.

Hi there, This might be the first bike where I don't change the gearing. I really quite like the new gearing. Personal preference of course though.

@@whiskeythrottledave I was out on it today and really noticed the difference in 2nd and 3rd. I was using 3rd a lot in the slow rooty/rocky stuff. Pretty happy so far. Thanks

@@derekengland8875 It's a fun bike with lots of torque!

Yeah I made a trade with a buddy

They stretch really easy for Enduro and do not last nearly as long.

@@whiskeythrottledave Okay… thank you

I ordered the flo yellow plastic from my dealer. It is Husqvarna plastic. I also ordered the linkage guard from dealer, it is a KTM part that just bolts on to your stock linkage.

@@whiskeythrottledave thanks! Are those stock graphics too ?

@Richard Alvarez No they are decalmx graphics

Thanks!

When you buy the tank, you can a slightly different cover that makes access easier to air filter.

Thanks!

Thanks!

I want to buy one this year, but I don’t like the stock colors, so I really enjoy the yellow plastics and graphics .

@@jspreparednessandself-reli4856 Yeah there is too many colors on the stock bike for sure.

Thanks!

Thanks!

No, you don't need to cut the seat thanks
