For me, with oil injection deleted, it's one less thing to worry about and I prefer the simplicity of running premix. But I know some people don't like mixing gas. Good to have choices...
Nice review, but ,yes ,but , it would be nice if you could address the sound or adjust your mic so we we can hear your conversation when riding. It is really hard to hear when you start moving faster. Thank you.
Yes, I agree. I currently just use the GoPro built in mic, which is OK when stationary, or low speed. I'll see there is a better mic solution for improving the voice while riding...
Mate, have you any plans for the STIC SuperX carb? It's power is well above the metering block. I've been running it on me 200SX. The pilot size has gone from a 50 to an 80 and idle was unchanged. I run the slowest turn G2 throttle cam for MX and it is well mannered on slow woodsy hard pack trails.
Would you happen to have an FMF part number for the FMF Gnarly pipe? I would like to purchase one for my 2024 EXC 300 although my local shop and FMF do not have a listing for it as yet. Is the expansion chamber and muffler the same as the 2023 model? Thank you for your help!
The KTM part number for the 2024 FMF Fatty pipe is: A44005907000 FMF Factory Fatty expansion chamber. It will fit 2024 EXC, XC-W, XC 250/300 models and 2023 XC 250/300 model
As much as I like my 2019 300xcw, the oil injection system keeps me terrified, but so far no issues. I pray it stays that way. The carb mod will be an interesting vid, can't wait to see. Great riding, vid Tokyo
Same, my first rebuild is coming up and I'm considering switching to an injector re-locator kit and removing the oil pump (since you have to change oil pump every top end). The GET kit looks nice and after 3-4 top ends, it'll pay for itself. Those oil pumps aren't cheap.
My thoughts are that for the 2024 model the Gnarly and Fatty shape seems to be very similar (visually I couldn't spot a big difference). With the stock map performance felt very similar. With the TSP map I've only tried the Fatty pipe and it works great. As far as I can see the biggest difference between the 2024 versions of the Gnarly and Fatty is that the Gnarly uses heavier gauge steel so is a little more resistant to dents, but is also a little heavier.
On the top of the glove, over the knuckles, is decent protection. The reason I like them is that they are thin and give great feel. I was expecting them to have poor durability, but they are holding up better than I expected. They are listed as being touch screen compatible.
@@TokyoOffroad Our local dealer here in Aus said to wait for a few months before purchasing, as KTM are working on new maps/tunes. TSP already have a new head/remap available, which I haven't heard much about as yet.
Bottom end of the 2024 TBI is good, similar to my carb 2017 300 and way better than TPI. Mid/top end power my carb 2017 300 is much stronger. The TBI feels rich mid/top. Keen to try a different tune and maybe a different head...
@@TokyoOffroad before tune, i have an 2024 hard enduro, fowled plug at 5 hrs, felt good but a very linear and not alot of rush, also had hot starting issues. Only had a bpr8es on hand instead of the standard br7es. Woke it up. Surprised me alot. Harder to stall and just runs better.
@@TokyoOffroadwhat about low rev and grunt for technical stuff. I hear TBI is close to carb, but is it really so also at low rev for extreme traction in difficult terrain ? Better that TPI also in this respect ?
@@TokyoOffroad I had an ngk zgr7gi-13g iridium spark plug installed in my engine from the factory, on which the motorcycle works very well and was additionally supplied with br7es. Tell me, does it make sense to change iridium to regular? what will be the difference when replacing?
Have you ever felt the bike beeing too stiff in the rear shock area ( because of the new frame)? Trying to figure out if I should consider the TE 300 over the KTM because some people say it unsettles the bike, and makes it feel weird. I m a tall guy at 1.97m and I know the KTM is a bit taller than the Husqvarna, also smaller tank on Husky, What is your take on the Te300 vs Exc?
No, it doesn't feel stiff in the rear for the riding I do. Most of my riding is lower speed, mountain riding, just like in the video. The chassis feels comfortable, stable and gives me confidence. Currently the main thing I'd like to improve a little is the engine performance (a little stronger mid/high). I'll be doing my first race on the 2024 this weekend so will be interesting to see how I get on with the bike under pressure... :-)
@@TokyoOffroad Good luck with the race!!!!! Good to know about the chassis. Also, have you ever, had any problems with the tank not picking up all the fuel? The center cap where iti picks up fuel gets filled by splashing from what I ve read, and not too spirited riding or straigh flat ground may leave you with up to a liter or more of unburn fuel.
@@marcomilano6486 It will definitely be , they share the same frame, might be a little lower but thats all. I think it might go down more because of the way the linkage works, I also fancy the Husqvarna but not that far from the KTM eighter.
While riding off-road I've not had any problems with fuel pickup when the fuel level is low, as it can splash into the center cupped area. However if you were riding on a long, smooth and straight road I think you would have problems...
Try not to buy the TSP injector relocator. Theres nothing wrong with transfer port injection / premix if you can retime your injectors to bottom dead center. Ive done it on my 150 so you should be able to find a tuner to adjust injector timing on a 300
the oil injection is now like... more reliable than the rest of the engine lol

I have never driven a better car than the ktm/husky 2017 carburetor. Carburetor 2017 the best
Still love my 2017 carb bike. Will likely never sell it...
I sold mine and now want another carb bike. Rieju 300 it is.
Has anyone thought of installing the sx tbi insert head on the exc tbi?

Great video! Where can I buy those nice handguards?
Handguards are Cycra Series One and BRP handguard mounts. Bar ends are tapped with threaded inserts. Super sturdy setup.
Hi. Since you’ve tried both the Fatty and Gnarly, what’s your view on them? Im not sure to get the Gnarly or the Fatty
My thoughts are that for the 2024 model the Gnarly and Fatty shape seems to be very similar (visually I couldn't spot a big difference). With the stock map performance felt very similar.

those Leatt gloves look like they give decent hand protection, do they work touchscreen?
On the top of the glove, over the knuckles, is decent protection. The reason I like them is that they are thin and give great feel. I was expecting them to have poor durability, but they are holding up better than I expected. They are listed as being touch screen compatible.
How are you finding the raptor pegs?
I really like them. Grip is great and mud clears easily due to the open design. Position feels good too. Only thing I don't like to the price...
Fatty sounds really good!
Hi. Have you had a chance to check the fuel economy as yet? Hearing some riders say that the TBI is thirsty?
Yes, fuel economy is not good. Quite a bit worse than TPI. I'm hoping that an aftermarket tune will improve the fuel economy and mid/top end...
@@TokyoOffroad Our local dealer here in Aus said to wait for a few months before purchasing, as KTM are working on new maps/tunes. TSP already have a new head/remap available, which I haven't heard much about as yet.
Now that you have some time on it, how would you rate it compared to your ‘17 carbed, your TPI and now the TBI?
Bottom end of the 2024 TBI is good, similar to my carb 2017 300 and way better than TPI. Mid/top end power my carb 2017 300 is much stronger. The TBI feels rich mid/top. Keen to try a different tune and maybe a different head...
I’ve followed the same bike path as you and am going for a new TBI so sounds like a good progression.

It has improved for sure.
Hello, tell me what spark plug you use in the TBI with a standard exhaust?
NGK BR7ES. No problems with it so far.

Try not to buy the TSP injector relocator. Theres nothing wrong with transfer port injection / premix if you can retime your injectors to bottom dead center.
Ive done it on my 150 so you should be able to find a tuner to adjust injector timing on a 300
My bike is a 2024 KTM 300 TBI (throttle body injection). The injectors are already located on the throttle body, so relocation is not required.
@@TokyoOffroad ok but you should still check injector timing. BDC
