@@JoeObresley on the carb/TBI bikes we run them around 100-130F. Use tunnel coolers, and a 131F tstat.

That seems just crazy cold everything I’m reading about the new two strokes. It says they aren’t even warmed up until 140

Are you guys wrapping the can?

@@tf841 thanks! It’s crazy where these bikes take us. I can’t get enough of it.

@@The_Snowbike_Channel I bet! Looks like so much fun!

@@TylerN737s so true 😂👌🏽

@@farminainteasy Either way would work good. The new TSS-QSL with the lockout feature does a better job than the older TSS. I think the max air pressure on the new TSS is 400PSI. I think if you ran it around 400 and lock it out you would be happy with it. The solid strut isn’t a bad idea either especially now that the Fox QS3 shocks on the kits now are very good shocks. When running back at the end of the day on whooped trails it’s nice to quick select a softer setting and give your back a break.

@@snowpacalypsenow1231 I wish I got into it sooner! It’s been fun seeing the snowbike community grow up here.

@@encrypted9720 that would work just fine. I know Trevyn Newpher does that and has said it eliminates the steam at the front of the bike which would be awesome. I would run their medium size or large. I kept my rads mostly because I wanted to try it that way first and later decide if I could remove them. I don’t see any issue doing that. I will say keeping your rads you have a ton of coolant and that might help on those warm days or trail rides.

@@chacal82 haven’t had a chance to test them in those conditions however only the inner lens is heated and I am guessing if the freezing rain or mist was severe enough the goggles wouldn’t be able to keep it from icing. In that case, you could carry a spare lens and quickly swap out the outer lens without even taking your gloves off. Very easy and quick plus the outer lenses are cheap.

@@JasonCaville Tempest 8.9 ounces For reference 509 Ignites are 12 ounces.

@ Thanks👍 My Klim eFires are 12.9 oz.

@@mclarenlewis7845 I agree for what your getting.

Like I understand from a business perspective why the product needs to be the price that it is it looks like a really high-quality product but that being said the market doesn’t always support a high-quality part. One could sell bent steel tabs that take stock pegs for a 10th of the R&D cost and you could still probably sell them for 50 bucks with the ability to upgrade to higher end components and sell 50 X.

@@mclarenlewis7845 some of my friends and I are playing around with some cheap $15 pegs we found on Amazon. I’ll report back how those work. I will say though these Sidehill pegs are unmatched in quality. There’s a few design quirks I wish were worked out for the price but it is what it is.

@ please do report on what you find.

@@JayDunning-j9k good morning Jay what do you find irritating?

@@kanger328 I’m sorry to hear that. I’ve heard they normally take good care of their customers.

Just ordered one. Yeah I've got too much money anyway!

@@FaithandActiondotnet I’m guessing you can ride right from the house or truck not too far from your place? Might be more of a safety thing for you rather than a mandatory thing. There’s days up here no matter what battery one has in their bike it won’t start after a 3 hour truck ride north in -20F.

@@The_Snowbike_Channel Well my garage is not heated so if it's cold & I wanna go ride I can just use the jump box instead of heating up my trailer. Plus, I may want to travel up there one day. If it keeps raining here I'll be trying to move somewhere up there.

@@denmarktwp nailed it

@@Timcanniff311 100% these photochromic lenses go from nearly clear to full on dark. Pretty impressive how well they work.

@ they also look like a black mirror in your video, it does look sweet

@@asmodeus338 I have to agree. There is a company making $28 mounts and you supply your own OEM pegs. Try emailing Support@elektrischesracing.com and asking about that product. Looks promising for the price and doesn’t slide on the bolt for install it has a single hole so no risk of loosing a peg on the mtn if the bolt ever came loose.

@@Mostviews111 third season running this bike.

@@RyonReginato I never got around to measuring it. I ran two different kits on that bike. 2019 Aro 137 stock gearing. 2017 MHST 120 and ran smaller 12 T countershaft and smaller 16 or 17T jackshaft sprocket.

@@jakeflattum9129 thanks man! I run two very different setups between my 300SX and my 450SXF. The heat exchanger in the skidplate isn’t really meant for cooling, instead it keeps ice and snow from collecting at the bottom and making a big brick of ice. So On my 450SXF I run the Selkirk armor and no XRT heat exchanger. The 300SX had an issue where the rads alone were not enough to keep that bike cooled down. The two strokes really make their best power between 100-140F and the 4-strokes like to be warmer in the 170-210F range.

@@NorthernHDrider contact Tempest directly and see if they can work out something for you.

@The_Snowbike_Channel emailed them yesterday & itchen for a respond

@@TylerN737s if you know you know, YZ owners cannot resist that blue mirror lens ;)

Or for my blue Yamaha nytro!

@@FaithandActiondotnet thanks Kanji, means a lot. Every tuner tries their best to make maps that suit their own needs. Some want subtle power delivery that’s “tractable and easy” and others want abrupt power. It really depends who mapped the tune for the reflash. Often these MX bikes will over fuel when cold and many of the snowbike tuners know that many people use inadequate engine covers so fuel is often taken away from the fuel table to compensate. My philosophy is work hard to keep the engine warm as possible and use stock mapping from KTM. This is what I have down on all of my 450’s. Exception being street legal (emissions compliant) enduro builds I have done on the KTM 500. Those need aftermarket tunes for reliable snowbiking, they are too lean from the factory. This is my first season trying the KTM Connectivity Offroad Unit which allows *small changes to the engines characteristics.

@@The_Snowbike_Channel What are the target temperatures? I've always just had the rad' cap thermometer but I had to get a C3 thermostat this year.

@@chriszaeske5090 correct. SXF/XCF share same transmission (5 speed) SX/XC have different transmissions 5sp vs 6sp. KTM likes to keep us guessing lol

@@tb1951 which one? I run the Skilak light in my helmet. You could set this light up for your bike too since it uses GoPro mounts. www.skilakproducts.com Other LED bar on my bike has internal battery. Great little light! a.co/d/iKAYnd3

@@joel387ktm I got a chance to ride one last season. Playful kit for sure, rode the 120. Just no dealer support up here which means expensive to ship here to AK.

@@frankstone Thanks Pops!

@@mitchviau Hey Thanks! Appreciate the support. Yes, I feel the TSS-QSL is worth it for sure. They are spendy but really help absorb nasty hits and absorb hits on the trail. I like to leave mine locked out on the mtn but will soften it up for the ride home. Nice to have the option especially on days when the snow is firm! Hope this helps. Sometimes Timbersled has a $150 off orders over $750 and that’s the time to snag the TSS-QSL.

Thanks for the info. I have mine and the wife’s bike that I’ll keep an eye out for a bit of savings if they do drop a bit.

100%

@@Nicky_Pin_It thanks! 👊🏼✊🏼

@@tf841 Thanks man, yeah the last three wraps I have done on bikes have all been through Deviant Ink. They do such nice work and it always comes out the way I want it. Appreciate the support! 👊🏼

@@The_Snowbike_Channel heck ya man!👊

@@Night_rider92 no haven’t had that issue before. There is supposed to an even gap between the front and back and usually leaves about 1/8” or so gap. I just try and split the difference and make it even. I think you can order just the spindle fork clamps from Timbersled.

@@The_Snowbike_Channel yea I did for sure haven’t had this issue before and yea got some coming! Gotta love aluminum.

@@kellywinters-l9t last winter I ran the Timbersled Cycra Pro Bends. Awesome handguards but had to change to a top clamp mounted hand guard because of my handlebars. I’m running the Cheetah Factory Racing SX handlebar and this bar is a bit tricky mounting handguards to so I went to the Reflex Racing handguards. I like them a lot because they have some flex to them and are tough.

@@joel387ktm thanks! I had a chance to ride a CMX last season and it was a fun rowdy kit.

@@Nicky_Pin_It is your bike a 6-speed? The 1:1 ratio might be a tad too tall for that bike. I bet if you gear it down a bit you’ll use 3rd gear more. BTW, TSP makes some good products to get a little more power out of the 300TPI bikes. Check out their heads and ERM for remapping the bike.
