2024 KTM300XC/30HRS Review/PARTS Used/ Top End Rebuild/

So let's talk about what I have been through with this bike a little bit. The bike about to reach 30 hours it has like 29 hours right now so we've been through a lot with this bike since the beginning because I didn't want to give up on this just because of the engine wasn't the way I wanted to. I decided to adjust the TPS myself since I have unusual condition like engine backfires I gotta I gotta fix it because the dealer is quite far away from me so I just tried to adjust this bike is a super awesome bike for the handling for the lightweight for the suspension it's just an excellent excellent bike but the engine because of the european regulation it's just not there it wasn't there and it's not still not there from the factory you can change that but it takes a lot of effort and companies are just stuck coming up with solutions to fix the engine problem which is kind of low on torque and it doesn't have enough power don't get me wrong for most people probably works extremely well but for those of you who get used to how the engines are running in a good old days that the carburetor power than or even go back to 2022 those engines were amazing compared to this one and what I did to it I was starting out to messing with the TPS and that made the bike better it gave more fuel to the bike so I was able to achieve more torque out of the bike which is quite enjoyable and then I get used to it the way it was I didn't even thinking about to do much other stuff with it because the parts at the time that this wasn't available I bought this bike like mid 2023 I don't even know if anybody else had that bike I bought it so early and now TSP two-stroke performance made ERM we call it ERM which is made the bike so much better just to be more precise made the engine so much better than ever was before so to me now this bike is a perfect enduro weapon and it just works very very good with that changes what the ERM made to the engine besides the engine the suspension always been good it needed to be worked in so like 14 hours it's really where you need to be to get the best out of the engine and the frame because it's just too rigid before that also back to the engine I had to replace the piston because I kind of revving it quite a lot and what happens is I had like lines on the piston and the engine wasn't run the way it's supposed to but anyway long story short I just changed the piston out it wasn't in the best shape when I changed it out and I had like 14-15 hours at the bike when I did that I put the Vishner piston in there which is works extremely well right now the bike is running like the factory bike does it has that same squishy sound it's really really sporty so much so when I installed the ERM on the bike I tried to make a video about it and I actually didn't like the change because it was so much compared to the way it was before but now I'm getting used to it and I enjoy it quite a lot so this bike if you do these engine mounts can be a really really good bike for me this is one of my best bike I win races with this bike I haven't been able to take it up to the mountains yet I'm about to to see how it performs over there but overall this bike is just a pleasure to ride right now with all of these mods what I have done to it the other thing what I did to it let me just show you around so I changed the handlebar clamp I put 720 spc on it I changed the the triple clamp up front honestly it's you know it's just I think it's too much money and the result is just so little unless if you are the top one percent it doesn't do much for you for sure and it's too rigid compared to the way the OEM triple clamp is I put the KTM handguard on it I customized a little bit I did some mods so now it has three points of connection one on the I mean two on the handlebar and one on the on the levers I made a connection over there so it works very well I also changed the chain I'm running a very narrow and and a very narrow change I think it's called MK made in Japan and it's like a pound lighter than the stock chain and I put the seat concept seat cover on it you know just to have a better grip FMF full exhaust system and besides that you know I just made a few cosmetic changes this suspension I set it up super hard because I kind of like to ride fast and I have it up super hard and that's the way I like it I can jump with it I can do whatever I want with it and it just serves me very well the suspension on this bike is one of the the best part what they changed for as previous models this suspension front and rear same same concept as the KYB has so technically they made a copy of the KYB suspension in a way and that's what's up front it's a it's an excellent excellent bike even with all of those problems what I had with it I still claim this is one of my best bike I ever had besides my YZ if you need adrenaline that's the bike to go with but if you do these changes oh I also put the TPS mid compression head on so with these changes this bike can be your best bike you ever owned if you do these changes I had I have these bikes pretty much in every year I didn't have the 23 I don't I didn't want to have too much trouble buying the 23 because of the first year when they came out with the TPI but but I had 22 and earlier all the way up to 2018 I bought these bikes every year and in two stroke four stroke and out of all this is the best what they ever did
