Ran 996/827s on my yamaha and loved them. When I got my ktm they felt really wide. Went to a 839 which according to renthal is the same as the 827 just 10mm less wide and loved it. Rode my Yamaha couple weeks ago when the ktm was down and when got back immediately cut the 827s down a bit. Significantly better.
Isn’t chase running kyb still a unconfirmed rumour, surely wp / ktm no matter how better or worse it may be wouldn’t do that, ESPECIALLY still running the WP tubes and logos, still can’t believe that’s true
my 2 cents is: KTMs better brakes, better clutch, easier to ride engine and turns just slightly more predictable than a Yammy...takes the win over Yammys better out the box suspension and easier tuning app. But would be good to get some pros opinions KTM won MXA 25 450 shootout, think Husky won some other 450 shootout I am sure a Yammy will win some shootouts this year. All the bikes seem pretty close bar suzuki.
@@mazza159naaaaaah there is no way than ktm turns better than yamaha. for average riders - yes, it is a bit more predictable. but as a pro rider i love how sharp yamaha turns. i don’t even put any effort to lean the bike into the turn. this just saves your energy and opens more creative lines at the track
Right?!? KTM needs to step up and give the SXF models the spring fork. Off road guys get them. And sweet Jesus they gave us a tool less adjuster on the shock and the side plate covers it. 🙄
An additional 3 grand in a bike that already cost 11,000. I’ll just buy a Suzuki RMZ 450 put 4 grand into it and I’ll be good. And it still be cheaper. Than that KTM (KEEP TAKING MONEY) machine
Kiefer you are the man!! Keep up the great work, you break down in a way us old heads get! Thanks Man and keep going!!

Have you tried the new closed chamber fork that comes on the xcf and excf 🇦🇺
Do this build to a 25 350sxf
same
Did the clutch cover really wear off that fast?
@@alexxela21846 it does yes
Is REP with AEO still? Or did they split?
@@MXJEFF94 split

No it’s 100% confirmed. You can see the fork lugs.
I brought a fc450 23 model the fuel pump or injector died 10 hours in and i havent touched it in 12 months lol i miss my yamaha
Wouldn't it be cheaper to turn a Yamaha into a Ktm , than a Ktm into a Yamaha .

And this is why you buy the xcf
not everyone wants to ride enduro
@@jwvdberg122swap the rear wheel to a 19 and swap the tank. Cheaper than swapping forks, now you can go enduro as well 🎉

Oh and give us the regular radiator cap back!!!! That stupid little plastic one is a bitch to get off
@@jwvdberg122sxf & xcf are the same apart from a 18in wheel, fuel tank and a 6 speed gear box. Awesome for desert or GPs
🤮🤮🤮
I ordered this magazine a couple months ago and I still have 0 underwear 👎
