Dude! Dam I didn't think there would be that much snow there! We need a warm rain! Putting on my TSP relocation kit this weekend on the 22TE300I, will see how much more ripper she gets, stoked your digging the TBI! Gonna wait a year, mines still too new, even with 100hrs:)
Keep up the vids! Great to see the little things about the bike riders want to know. Thanks for making me a little less jealous of the coast living in the koots 🤘
Great video hopefully when they come out with this new model in the off road xcw it will at least have a bigger stator . Unfortunately I think the reliability of a kick starter is gone for good.
Do you have any more information regarding the update to the ECU for the 5 flashing light? Called dealer today and they said they haven't seen any updates from KTM yet.
Yeah it’s annoying. Dealers don’t get the map update bulletin unless is a recall. This is not, so they will only see the map when they plug the bike in to the computer.
@noahr OK good. A buddy of mine just got a bike and he thought I was joking when I told him to put oil on his filter. He had no idea. Super important though. Ride safe
You running a Mouse, Tire balls or a tube here and what PSI did you use? I have a 23 300xc but havent put it in the woods yet. Just on my turn track at home. I mostly race MX and have a 23 450 for that but want to race some more XC stuff this year. So far I love this 23 300
Thanks for all your videos. I could be mistaken, but I seem to recall KTM website listed the XC having 57HP but I don’t see that on the website anymore, does the bike have that much power, I wonder what’s the actual number? I’m curious have you had a chance to compare this bike to the Beta 300 RE either through yourself or friend, if so what are your thoughts, two beautiful bikes, one much easier to work on, any insight would be appreciated.
Not sure about KTM HP claim but those dyno numbers from my video are from vital MX, and I trust them. I have rode the beta, it was a few years old, I think a 21 model. I liked it but I’m spoiled with KTM’s counter balanced engine. It was hard for me to get over the vibrations, maybe with a lot of seat time I’d forget about it. Also I’m a tech nerd so TPI and TBI are fine by me even with some issues, I’m kinda over jetting.
@@TechEnduro thanks can you tell me if it was plug and play on the 23 xc ? Moto minded’s website says products coming soon for the 23 so I wasn’t sure.. I really don’t want to splice I hate electrical 🤣
Thanks for that. I'm pretty hot on one to replace my 300xcw tpi but I don't want too much power. I'm old and feeble and need my bikes to make things easier now. I ride similar terrain, I'm just below the border from you I think.
Running the hand guards the mount to the master cylinders is not a good idea if it takes a hard hit it will crack the master cylinder, I've seen it. Are you running snow without studs?
To each and their own, some run none some full wrap to bar mounts🤷♂️ I ran to the bar mounts on my last bike, the reason I switched is when I’d take hit I’d bend the metal sometimes or break the plastics. I run theses looser with plastic inserts under the mounting brackets, now when I hit they just move, dissipating the energy that way. Obv personal preference. Yup, snow without studs, doesn’t snow enough here.
@@TechEnduro man!! Love carrying shit over from one bike to another!! May radiator fan, and my bullet proof designs rad guards will be on a total of 4 bikes 2019 250xcw 2020 250xc 2022 300xc And now 2023 250xc
Absolutely fantastic video. Enlightening info, excellent riding, and refreshing editing. It'll be a shame if this doesn't get 100,000+ views. 💪😃👍

I loved the format of this video. haha epic and good information. Im picking up a 300 this afternoon!
Nice, what you can’t see are all of the big roots on that trail hiding under the snow
This looked like fun, great looking trails!
Most excellent snow ride!
Yes it was!
great video again dude. Was out there last week :)

I distinctly heard you say you wished it was more like the Sherco 😛
Only if I need a vibration massage of my hands and feet😂

Something you might need to know is to put a lot more oil on that air filter 🤔
🤣 I was waiting for that! The filter is actually very saturated, but it’s notoil oil so it ends up looking like it lightly sprayed sometimes.

trying to get the same disc guard for rear. Is that the EE?
I like the looks of that start stop switch. I hate the stockers. Where did you get it??
Motominded makes em. It’s called the bomber

@@heily-3806 not plug and play for the one I got as I had it from a 22 bike.
Did you hardwire the motominded start switch or was there a plug available?
They had an option for an extra $18 but I had the switch from my 22 so I cut into the wires
Do you feel like the extra power it has over a 300 TPI wears you out more in that terrain or gets harder to hang on to?
not at all in the conditions I ride. A little more power when I need it to blip over a log or something saves me energy

@@TechEnduro I was jst trying to save you some money on laying ot for a new master cylinder. It sonds like yo have figured out how to prevent this.
@@artsteale3443 I’ll remember this comment when my dumb ass inevitably snaps mine 🤣
Does anyone know can u bump start the 300sx?
Yes👍🏻
But for some ridiculous reason the xcw does not come with a capacitor for bump starting
Wait... no bump starting?
You can bump start.
I noticed, at the end, you had a fan running, does it need it like the TPI’s?
It does. It’s been cold, but seem to run just as hot as the TPI
@@TechEnduro I wonder if my fan from my
TPI will fit
@@Bimmere it does. Mine was from my 22 xc
