Most riders I see doing woods riding don't need more than a 350 4-stroke and they would probably be better off with a 250 2-stroke in technical stuff, because 4-strokes seem to get jumpy which causes the riders to back off the throttle then the bike completely stops and stalls. With 2-stokes most people, even enduro racers, keep them out of the power band the majority of the time. The power band isn't really necessary, but it's fun.
What a beauty ! I have the 22 model , and love it , been on the fence to upgrade to this one ,but might wait for the 2025 ,but very tempting , great video~
Appear in the Rocky mountains where you're riding from.Small rocks to large rocks smacking them hard.That is what I run.At fifteen pounds have never pinch the tube
If there is not a No Tresspassing sign then I consider it an invitation to ride. If there is a No Trespassing sign I consider it an invitation that requires me to pay more attention while I am trespassing!

These exc-f's are amazing machines and I have to agree, I'd go for the 350 if I ever got one, its plenty of motorcycle. How does it compare to riding the DRz?
It’s basically a lighter DRZ, with a motor on steroids. I spent 20yrs. On DRZ’s & 10yrs. On the 350excf’s they are 2 of the best all around dual sports on the planet! Anyone who loves a DRZ, will absolutely love the 350. The only advantage DRZ has is it’s better for light adventure work.
@@kcoutside7143 Looking into dual-sports the 350exc-f was on my short list. Between the cost difference and the fact that I don't plan to ride much enduro with the bike, I chose the DRz. ....But that exc-f power 😎
I think i just looked at your. 21 anyway you could share what all you did with it. I really like the feel vs the newer 24 yet havent rode either but fit better not as high as theb24
If it’s at 5 star it’s mine. Was always. Good bike, I always upgrade my 350 every 3 years. Suspension is stock, motor, intake, exhaust is all stock, never monkeyed with. Basically stock other than skid plate & swing arm guards. Has tubliss system in rear tire, HD tube in front. I also swapped out the turn signals. Never had any issues. Any other questions, just ask.
I sold my Husky FE350s 2 years ago and have regretted it ever since.....I need a dual sport now and cannot decide between this bike or the new KLX 300. I have two 250 2-strokes for enduro work so my dual sport is gonna be more of a light adventure bike. If you already had a dedicated trail bike, which would you choose for your dual sport, bop-around-town, BDR bike?
I actually have always used my 350’s as my pure woods bikes(even though they are dual sports) I currently have the KLX300 & the CRF300L dual sports. In your case I would get the KLX, since you have the smokers. A lot more rack/luggage options are Available for the 300’s.
I have a 23 klx 300 and want to trade for this KTM 350 dual sport all my buddy’s say just get a legit dirtbike. lol the klx is 310 pounds and the KTM 350 is 229pounds with more power. I already have a dedicated street bike.
I’ve never had that feeling on the ‘24, or any of the previous years. I guess if I was trying to lug in too high of a gear, it could possibly do that. But the shucking has never caught my attention if it ever happens.
@kcoutside7143 I have the same bike but a 6 days and it will jerk back and forth getting on and off it kinda like a vehicle with a loose transmission mount
Go with the KTM. I had the 250 exc-f loved it. Now I ride a 2024 KTM 500excf it is a beast.

looks like so much fun, didn't know people used them as dual sports.

Thank you! Thanks for watching! You definitely won’t be disappointed if you upgrade!
What's coming for 2025 that you would wait for?

Sweet right man! I wanted a ktm 350 but I think I will go with the Yamaha Yz250fx and street legal it. Just want something different.
The engine displacement is more about the terrain than rider weight.
GarbageMans2wheels approves this video 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks garbagman! Subbed to ya!
Hey bro, do you have the link to those hand guards and the license plate set up you did? Looks so clean. Sick riding. Nice shifters

I had a feeling that the KLX was the way to go. Thanks for the advice @@kcoutside7143

does yours feel loose in the gears when you off and back on it like a shucking feeling?

Did you try the other throttle tube cam , that came with the bike?
@kcoutside7143 it's in the transmission but they can't figure it out
Well that sucks! Hopefully they get it squared away!
Seat thong 😮
Sounds like a vacuum cleaner eieiei 🤣🤷♂️
Omg your background is amazing to ride, I’ll be out there EVERYDAY, how many acres are you sitting on?
