    Nice bike! I've had a 2012 350excf that I just sold and bought a 790 duke. My trail riding days are done.lol I also had a 2004 450exc that I ran dual sports and enduros in the 2000s. Scrubb pines in South Jersey, Ridge run and Hancock in New York State to name a few. I've had great luck with both bikes. The 350exc I put the most miles on and it was bullet proof. Enjoy and God bless!

      I am thinking of going from a 2019 YZ250FX to the 350 EXCF because my WR250R went supermoto when my son got his license and as much as I love the YZ, I can’t dual sport anymore and this bike seems like the YZ250FX with a license plate.

    Instead of throwing all that bling on the bike (and then complain about the price) go and do the suspension. Re-valve and air-to-spring conversion will make it even better to ride.

    Yes, I picked up 2016 350 excf and 100% agreed with this too. I bought used so I saved ton of money. The key location on 2016 is on the right fork so I have more access.
    I just learn to ride dirt bike last June and being on this motorcycle twice I feel like I improved tremendously.

    He has a golden opportunity to talk about the negs of owning a KTM 350 and all he lists is the friggin key location? He's fine with oil & filter changes every 10 hrs, valve clearances every 20 hrs, air filter every ride, fork service every 45hrs, top end rebuild new piston every 70hrs (racing) or 135hrs normal riding etc etc..

      Nobody follows the KTM reccomended maintenance guide and they are near bullet proof. As much as people want to say otherwise, these newer KTMs are even more reliable than their Japanese equivalents. There are too many names to list who have ridden the 500 around the entire world and they aren't rebuilding the engine anywhere near every 135 hours. You can get more reliable bikes out of Japan, but they have half the horsepower and are way heavier aka the CRF300L & XR750. There are very few people who would take those bikes over a 350 or 500 exc.

      The intervals are kinda short yes. My experience with a slightly older ktm based 450 was good. In 300 hours I never had the engine open except for valve clearance check every 100 hours.. Original everything inside and it ran crazy good still.
