@@GasGas71 you caught that eh. Lol

@@GasGas71 👍🤸🤸🤸

Thanks bud!!!

Thanks!!! Yea I'm old and out of shape. I don't have the energy like i use to have. lol. But I will say that this is a coarse that I do better on. Flow and straight aways... haha

@ponydown4189 for sure a good track for more CCs, definitely not my 125's favorite, nor me, really. Fast races mean harder crashes

Yea I'm thinking that could of been it. Congrats on your win!!! Yea cook was fun to race with. The last I heard he was racing team. Tell Him I said Hi!!!

From memory I used a kickstarter off a yamaha yz450 on my bike. Do a little digging and good luck!

Yes!!! Just started prepping the bike yesterday. Are you going to be there?

@ponydown4189 yea. Hopefully I can get my gopro to stop giving footage that makes me look drunk while racing

@@zombanator3000 lol. What camera are you using?

@@ponydown4189 10 black. Upgraded from a hero 7 white

@@zombanator3000 nice. I almost bought a 10 but decided to give the dji osmos 4 a try. That's the videos you have seen this year. Before that was gopro besides my first year making videos. That was a Garmin ultra 30.

My old bike was a 2018 300 xcw. So I'm not sure on the tpi weight vs tbi weight.

Haha. Tell me about it. I thought that front end was going to be washing out or just excessive tire roll. Thanks a million for the zip ties. I don't think the tire would of held without them.

Yea it sucks about valley. I do have about a 10% chance of making it depending on what happens at work today. Crossing my fingers.

Good tip. I'll have to give that a try. Now that I have everything broke down I can give it a good inspection to try to find the failure. I would like to know if I made a mistake or if it was a problem from neutech. I'll definitely reach out to them. Only about one hour on it from battle creek.

Best of luck... I'm still running a HD tube up front cause if that fails me I'm going to a Moose

I did. I'll finish the video in a day or two. Been having a busy week and have Valley hs race this Sunday. Did you race i?

@ponydown4189 oh yea. I crashed really hard on my first lap. That's where my video ends.

@@zombanator3000 Ouch.... I just seen your crash. You smacked that tree good.

I have never been checked before and never seen anyone checked before. One possible reason is we race on public property. I seen some enduros on state trails so I would assume orv stickers and a spark arrestor.

@@ponydown4189 can you get there Saturday and camp ?

@@Elisrecoveryoffroad yes, every d14 hare scramble I have been at you can go sat and camp out. 👍

@@ponydown4189 ok cool I haven't done one so I'm just trying to get the info

@@Elisrecoveryoffroad it's all good. Good questions. See if you can sign up sat also.

Yes I still have the bike. No complaints at all!!!! I bet your living yours as well.

I'm actually happy with it. It seems to of calmed down my rear end. Plus the fact that they give you some options for shim stacks also helps. I'm happy.

Since I have never raced my 250 four stroke before I'll give you an opinion. The 350 will have plenty of power and torque to handle any of these races. It will more than likely shine on a track with some open areas. It won't shine in tight slow stuff. Valley trail riders come to mind for tight and long. But I would definitely vote to bring it out and have a great time.

Yep. That was a race wasn't it.

The word is he's still digging it out. 🤣🤣🤣😂 Bern there before unfortunately

I actually found out where they were stuck in my video. They made a bypass between the time I went through and he did. It's just a divot that got dug out near a rut. Not some bottomless mudhole.

Depending on how my Mri results come back in May I can always bump myself up to b class. Im running tubliss. I ran 8 psi in the front and 6 psi in the back that race. Could be my tires also. Still new stockers

@ponydown4189 What tires come stock on the bike? KTM still mounts Pirelli brand as stock?

@@zombanator3000 Dunlop mx33 in the front and a at81 in the rear.

Haha. I was suppose to put in a close up of him but I forgot. But yea the things that pop into your head while racing. Lol.

The perfect race to start the season off. Everything after that should be easier. Lol

Thanks bud. Yes it was a fun time. Just wish I would of lasted longer. But you need to listen to your body.

Haha. Isn't that the truth. I guess I need to just do the extra ready to race. 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks... Oh we shall see. My biggest problem is getting my body in shape. lol

Thanks bud. Feels good to be back riding. I see you been a busy man on your channel. 👍

Work for Stellantis. Formally know as Chrysler. 👍

He may have a secret only fans account..lol

@@jiujitsujim lol. Feet finder dot com

I did learn that after the fact. Lol. I do appreciate the tip though. How are you liking your xc? I was torn between the two bikes.

@@ponydown4189 absolutely love the XC. Tbh I wanted the W, but they were still tpi in 2023. Unless you’re riding a lot of wide open. 4th, 5th gear stuff the W is the move. The XC is a little too powerful in the slower stuff

@@Tsxtasy1 ahhh that makes sense. I can't wait to get my first race in so I can compare it to my 2018.

Ehhh I'm. OK. Only been riding orv trails and racing some hare scrambles. But I am curious what part I sound inexperienced about?

I would say his 40 or more 2 hour long races qualifies as experienced. Whether you like his riding style.

Oh I like that idea. I know what I'm ordering this weekend. Thanks for the tip!!!

Thanks for the tip. Tsp is making a lot of nice things for these 2 strokes bikes. As I rack up more hours we will see what happens. What issues have you had with your 23? Thanks for the 996 complament. 👍

Thanks Daryl! Good question. I know in 23 the xc and sx got a 95% redesign. When we meet up for a ride we can swap and you can let me know. 👍

Thanks Mark. Yea, I'm definitely limited some in my area for any good riding. I'll get a little time in before the first race of the season so I have a good feel for the bike. 👍👍👍

Haha. You have me laughing over here. The intro was, almost not an intro. I just realized I didn't put many pics or vids on the look of the bike overall. I'm not going to lie. I was checking out those huskies next to the ktms.

Good question. No the bladder is not prefilled. You will want to go through the bleed process then fill the bladder with 150 psi.

You add nitrogen as the very last step.

I found it on ebay used. But keep in mind this was a 2002 plus tank adapted to fit on a 1999 bike.

Dang. Sorry to hear about your bike. What ended up going on it? All races can be differant can't they. But I do like the variety rather than the same track the same everytime.

Yes they can lmao I absolutely love the effort they put into our d14 hare scramble tracks they’re always unique and badass. I ended up frying the clutch. New plates for the clutch pack is all I had to replace. Surprisingly the piston looks fine. I guess the mud build up caused my chain to stiffen which wouldn’t allow me to move from where is seized. Every time I tried to go it just burnt the clutch more and more until it wouldn’t even fire up. She runs like a champ now again but I’ve been racing my 2024 300sx I prefer it over my 300xcW Erzbergrodeo

Trying to get some hill climb experience. Lol. Hard Enduro 2024. 👍 I'll tell stanko you said hi.

Oh it's on for next year. Im going to get into shape for the spring time.

Yea I do hate the 2008 air filter cage compared to my newer ktm bikes. I would suggest just trying the filter cage with no filter on it and then trying to for the cage. If it don't fit then rotate it until you find the correct rotation needed. Then maybe put a mark on the cage to be able to remember to which way fit good. Even when I do get it in I still press on the rim of the filter to make sure it's pressed in. Sometimes it's not. Final tip is to put some air filter grease on the mating flange since the filter doesn't fit all that great. Good luck.

Oh nice. I bet you have a competive class. Thanks for moving over. Haha. That was a nice race. 👍👍👍

I vote to try it also next year. There is two classes you might be interested in. 35+c or or 50+b. I think I'm moving to 40+b next year and then the year after that I can move to 50+b.

There is now a 50+ c class. Come race with us.

Nice. How did you do in the race? I bet that bike is a beast!

8th in my class could have been better but the heat was killing me lol

@@chaselough7937 haha yea the heat was killer. Good job on the finish.

I know exactly what you mean. These things are mean for the winter time. They really grip well. Have fun!

Actually. You can see me off the trail at 21:35 while I was figuring how to get back on trail.

Yea I might of made it better if I wasnt dodging traffic, rocks, and other stuff. Haha. I just looked at the video and I seen you. 👍

@ponydown4189 apparently I'm bad for rubbernecking to any bike riding by as I'm stuck cause I wasted way too much time sitting there watching people fly on by before I made an effort to get out.

@@zombanator3000 oh trust me, I think we all have those moments. Haha. Live and learn. That's what I try to do.

@@ponydown4189 live, learn, forget, repeat

Nice!!! Congrats on your finish. That was a great track to end the year with.

Thanks Bud. Yea it was a great last race. Im definitely glad I made it out to it.

@ponydown4189 I was working scoring for that one. raced there in the spring.

You're welcome bud. Hope to see some of your videos this winter. Haha. No pressure.

Thanks. It's definitely in the top 2 places that I have ever raced before. There is always next year!
