I am on the FX350 and it is a Beast

- I'm extremely happy to be back riding my 2017n Husky FX350 after almost a year from a nasty crash last spring.
Of all the injuries I've had over the years, I'd have to say that tearing my shoulder all to hell has to have been the toughest to deal with and worst to recover from.
You don't think about how much you need your right arm until you've lost complete use of it for almost a year.
I've been making changes to this bike for some time now in hopes of making it more suitable to this kind of trail riding. Not being able to ride the bike had the costly effect of wanting to throw money at it instead.
Last year I changed the stock fuel rail, fuel filter and exhaust manifold out to aftermarket units by KTM Husky.com. Those units made a significant change but did not give me all what I was looking for.
Also added a flywheel weight which helped a lot for rolling over obstacles but the motor still I had the odd issue with stalling when lugged too low.
I removed the MidWest Mountain Levers added a Clake 1 Light Clutch Lever for better clutch control on longer rides due to worn out hands and the heavy Clutch these bikes have.
Then at a moment of weakness, I bought and installed an FMF Ti-Carbon F4.1 Silencer and a Vortex ECU, these items were the single biggest game changer for this bike.
Sorry it has taken so long to produce another video but it real hard to make them without footage from riding...

I am just about to buy one , youve made my decision for me sir haha
Great to see you back at it and man you were sure riding well for your comeback ride. Way to go!
Thanks, feels so good to ride again.
good to see you back out there!
She's a beast! Happy 2019
Thanks you too
Those are some great trails. Looks amazing.
Subscribed, I'll have to come up there from north central Washington this summer.
You do Evan's creek much?
Ben Ruether no, I ride some central Washington desert in the winter and single track mountain stuff in the spring and fall. It gets super dry and hot in the summer months so not much riding now.
Looking good PB! Right back where ya left off! Good on ya!
Thanks, long road back and a long ways to go. Heaven help me if I ever have to get up from another bad crash or lift my bike out of a bad place.
Good to see you back in action. Great vids. Need to cruise up there
Husky at home :)
That was Awesome! What a great comeback! I am thinking that Moab might be my come back ride, but I have a while maybe in the fall this year so that I can check out the LaSalle mountains that are looming in the back ground every spring...
My thoughts are with you Buddy, heal up fast. I've got a long ways to go as well, shoulder feels like its holding on by a thread still.
Looks nice! Thanks for posting!
Trails look great!
Man I'm jealous. Looks like a blast!
Great comeback ride 👍. So jealous that it’s January and you’re riding...lol.
We're having a very mild winter this year, no snow but tons of rain. It's OK though I can handle to rain, snow sucks.
Traffic jam on Sandman and Trials Trail!
So many people riding these trails lately. Hoping it's just a winter thing.
Riding a 16 350 xcf. What order would you purchase the mods in? Any you wouldn’t do again? Thanks in advance. Very awesome trails you there! I too am coming back from my second shoulder injury. Your bike just LUGS!
Not sure how the '16 350XCF compares to the '17 FX350 Husky so cannot honestly say what would be needed on your KTM if anything at all.
If I had it to do again I'd probably do everything I did all over again the same way. Not sure the exhaust manifold is at all necessary or if it does much but changing the fuel rail and filter just make sence to me, the stock stuff was garbage. The FMF pipe was pure bling, an aftermarket approved spark arrestor would suffice. My hands are in a bad way with arthritis so the Clake 1 is also a no brainer for me. The Vortex also isn't needed unless you're really wanting a little extra pep. The 13 tooth front sprocket is needed for sure for tight single track. If you like your bike with more snap then don't put on a flywheel weight, if you want more grunt in the slow stuff then it's worth it. Don't buy the Husky steering damper, it sucks, if you want / think you need one then get a Scott's. The Seat Concepts seat is also a no brainer and one of the 1st things I'd do. Hate hard seats for those times when I need to sit. All the protection equipment is a matter of individual choice. IBEX rear tire, no contest IMO, can't be beat but get heavy duty dual rims locks and I use the extra heavy duty tubes instead of Tubeless. These bikes are amazing right out of the box, they're just made for higher speed riding. A lot of the flameouts can be controlled with an adjustment of the TPI and raising the idle a few hundred RPM. I enjoyed building this bike up, didn't have an issue spending the money on it and don't feel anything was waisted. Some might disagree but that's cool.
Pitt Bull xcf 350 is basically the KTM version FX 350.
I was thinking flywheel weight and tps tuner and the fuel rail etc from KTM husky. The clake would be nice but that would be my last change. Thanks for the quit reply.
Great video! Also does the 350 have 1 1/8 inch handlebars
Thankyou and yes, the stock bar set on a 2017 FX350 is 1-1/8" dia aluminum bar, Width: 32", End rise: 4", Rise: 2-3/4", Clamping area: 6-1/2", Pull back: 2-1/2"
@@6at32off thank you so much
Nicely done video and great riding.
Stunning - what that thing (and YOU) can do ! ... too bad you never found a real trail. 😋 so, shoulders are not overrated? 😅 `hope your on the mend.
Thank you
OK, your Husky, 2K american and Ill trade you my KLR , final and last offer.. Take it or leave it. Great stuff Pitt!
Sounds fair LOLOL, thanks but it took me a long time to get my number straight, just do not want to do that again on another bike. Guess I'll just have to keep the old Husky. :)
That thing must be a real handful out on those rough trails.
It"s actually quite amazing to ride on these trails, tons of instant power and torque, great suspension, and traction to boot. Never had a better bike for hard enduro and I've had a lot of bikes.
8:55 oh heck no
LMAO we do have some sketchy damn bridges, they're even worse with snow on them.
Great video, get my 19 350fx next week be interesting if the new model stalls/ flames out at low rpm. Yours seems to tractor along ok
I've heard good things about the 2019. Buddy of mine races his in Pro Hard Enduro and lives it. Only thing he did was turn up the idle a touch and adjust his TPI slightly. I've no idea how to do that but I'm sure help on that is floating around the WWW
Pitt Bull no real issues with stalling flaming the 19 350fx
Yet. But only limited riding done on easy terrain.
That's good to hear, sounds like you have a great machine
Pitt Bull are you running a fan on your fx. You have some awesome trails
Yes sir, I have the Husky Fan Set with the adjustable digital guage. Works amazing.
Thanks for the nice comment.
Great vid and amazing climbing skills. I know that trail and it’s a lot harder than meets the eye. You kept the momentum and pace going even in slick conditions. Do you have knowledge if some of the 17 FX 350 issues have been addressed in subsequent years. Thanks for sharing
KTM / Husky revamped this bike in 2018, remapped the ECU, made it even better in 2019 and now it is a dialed beast right out of the box. Keep in mind it is still a bike made for faster open trails and will need mods to use it as a dedicated tech woods weapon. In my opinion you may still need a 13 tooth front sprocket, a flywheel weight, gummy tires, and of course all the assorted guards. You also need to learn to ride the bike a bit different in this type of terrain. You need learn to ride with the clutch "in" and only feed it out for forward momentum, you will never learn to pull the clutch in in time to keep this light weight / fast revving motor alive in the tough stuff.
Hey Pitbull
I installed a flywheel weight but having trouble getting it to start? You have heard of this?
No sorry I have not, maybe you have the timing out? Mine was a seamless install.
Any flame out problems? Some people say it flames out easy. I have good throttle control, I learned on 4 strokes. People say 4 strokes flame out easier but I find the opposite but I think that's just because I feel more comfortable on a 4 stroke. Also, you have balls of steel on some of that stuff. There were a few times I was like holy crap that is some gnarly stuff.
Thanks for the comments. I did have a few flame out issues when I 1st got the bike but I did a lot of modifications to this bike purely for fun and to see what would happen. Along the way I pretty much cured the bike of its low speed single track gnar issues and it now performs amazingly. These particular bikes were not really made for low speed technical riding but more for higher speed hair scramble riding. With a couple simple modifications and some learned riding techniques, they will perform better than a 2 stroke IMO.
That was some rough ridin. Where was that?
This is McNutt / Blue Mountain BC
What is the make and model of this handlebar tool bag? Thank you!
About to order a 2021 FX 350 due Sept/Oct in Aus 👍 will be my first ever new bike. Researching. Thanks for the mod tips. Flywheel weight 👌 Ever feel you'd prefer the FE 1st & 2nd gear ratios? I'm no racer and torn between the FE & FX for similar riding to this vid. But I feel getting off my old TM400e (uncorked sounds wild 😁)
I'd regret not going the FX.
Great video 👌
For me the FX350 was the only choice. I didn't want the motorcross gear box and didn't want to have to spend $1000's making a more road oriented bike into something more suited to the nasty terrain I like to ride. The FX350 was almost perfect out of the box. Biggest issue for me was coming from a TE300 2 smoker onto a bike more suited for high speed hair Scramble type racing and a 4 stroke to boot. Engine braking, completely different engine, different type of power and of course the flameouts associated with a motor that was not really designed to lug down low on technical terrain like a 2 stroke does. All that being said though, once I changed a few things and adjusted my riding to suit the bike it became the bike of my dreams. Just can't say enough about how I love to ride this thing and where it's capable of taking me. You will need to learn to properly manage the clutch though or break down and buy a Rekluse. Otherwise IMO there may not be a better bike on the planet. Good luck and happy trails...
@@6at32off appreciate the reply. Just got back into riding 4 years ago after almost 15 years off. Picked up a few old TM enduros for under $1k Aus ea. '01 250en 2t (Finnish rider Mika Ahola's bike TM gave him when he lived here in Victoria, Australia). It's dialled. I haven't changed a thing.
Riding mate of mine set up the 1998 world enduro event here and met Mika & Kari Tiainen who both competed.
Also an '02 300en 2t, and an '03 400e 4t. My weapon of choice for less gnarly cross country is my road legal 2001 Honda CR500E 😁 or to pop into town.
Was very tempted by the TX300i but I'm fairly well covered for smokers.
Just binged on your vids. It's 2am here and I feel like going and doing my bush loop 👍
Pretty excited to get the new Husky FX I must say. Technology is lightyears ahead of anything I ride now, especially my old 1988 Husky/Cagiva WRK250 2t that I keep for social Vinduro.
I'll avoid the rekluse. I may invest in a clake.
Keep the ride vids coming. Think I just jumped from a D to a C rider watching 👌
@@tikkabrno "from D to C rider by watching" my lame ass riding LOLOLOLOL..be careful how much of my riding you watch or you'll end up with training wheels.
@@6at32off you had some decent riders with you 😂
@@tikkabrno Guessing you wrote that with the special sarcastic font provided by RUclips :)
This was just another solo ride which suits me just fine most of the time. That way there is nobody to show me up and make me look bad. So much easier to be the best rider and seem fast in a group of 1...
Glad you healed up and are back out there but why didn't you just buy a much more suitable bike?
I've been riding a pimped out 2014 Husaberg TE300 out here since I bought it new in the spring of 2014. This bike outperforms it in most every way. Can't think of a more suitable bike to be honest than this FX350 for me right now.
Hey Pitbull, great to see you back on the bike. Love your videos. I have the same bike as you, 2017 and love it. As I am old, very old, I treat it with great respect because as you say, it is a beast. I installed a Rekluse radius clutch and a fan, and am looking to install a light. I notice you have one and was wondering what it is and what mods you had to make. I was told the FX 350 stator is not strong enough to run a fan and a light. I am going to Moab in April and don't want to be caught out in the desert with no light.
Thanks for the positive comments. The light bar I have mounted is a cheap one off Amazon, $40 for a pair. I simply wired it straight to the battery with a waterproof switch on the bars. If you do not use too powerful of a light system the stock stator can keep up ok. I'd suggest a much better battery though. The stock Lithium battery is very underpowered and I think it could power out on a longer night ride. My system has only been used for an hour in the dark at best and so far no issues. I had the same setup on my TE300 and did several night rides with it without issues. That bike has a kick start though so not as big a deal if it drains down.
@@6at32off Thanks, will give it try
curious to hear your reasons for getting a 4T to ride that sort of terrain. I would have thought your older 300 Berg 2T would be better in that type of terrain.
How come you swapped?
I wanted to try something different. The TE300 is an awesome bike for sure but these new 350 4 strokes are as light, just as flickable and have the added bonus of one extra power stroke per rev of the motor which makes the bike much more planted and able to find traction where the 2 strokes break loose. I'm one of many people who have discovered this. One of my friends is racing one of these in Expert and Pro Hard Enduro and has been for a couple years now with outrageous results. I doubt he'd ever switch back and neither will I.
cool thanks for that insight, I have an onder 2012 ktm 350 and have been considering upgrading to a new 300 2T but maybe I should consider a new 350 4T.
what gearing are you running? I am running 12/52
I stuck with the stock rear sprocket so as to not have so many issues with the chain guide block but went with a 13 tooth up front.
Hahahaha, someone hit the Dislike Button for me. Never understood that, why bother - why not just leave and go find a better video or better yet....make a better one yourself and post it up for us to enjoy!
I totally agree. I often get one Dislike per video and I often wonder who it is so I could go see the videos they produce. Good to see you're back to riding!
I know eh, WTF is wrong with people. I'm all over negative constructive comments if needed, I can learn from that and improve. But a simple thumbs down, oh that's so helpful lmao and so lame. I can only imagine how frustrating it must be for guys with popular channels like Barry from Cross Training, he must loose his mind sometimes with some of the whiny little people who feel the need to criticize his content. I'm not sure but I think I may have a few negative comments or thumbs down hits here n there but life goes on and my vids never get any better :)
