Maybe the 2019 but if you’ve never ridden ever then no. Would recommend you go with the TTR until you understand how the clutch works and how to operate the machine well. These are race bikes. Not beginner bikes

I don’t think they are much different. It’s been months since I’ve ridden because of the snow, but both are very smooth and don’t vibrate much. I had a husky 350 and it vibrated so much I sold it. These do not vibrate and are easy to ride for long periods of time

I know the fan is an easy add. The lights I’m not super sure on. However I’ve seen it done before, can’t be all that hard

It’ll be just fine. Great bike, will be stiff and a bit agressive but you can tame it down

I do like it a lot! Probably will have the suspension done over the winter and upgrade the battery. I did like changing maps between those two sections. Also, this thing turns so well! It’s overall pretty great, play with suspension and put my numbers on it and I’ll be good to go racing next year

@@steezzyy3918 nice!

I sensed the battery wasn’t as good as the 19. But yes! I’ll be there! I’ve been practicing my starts from a dead stop and seems it you aren’t touching the throttle at all it fires right up. But it is very touchy and can crank forever sometimes. I’ll be in the Cadillac/kalkaska area this weekend with the RZR

I’ve always guessed before. But now that I know how many hours are on it, probably will do it before it hits 5. I’ll be at 2.5 this weekend. I think you were asking about suspension before, I did a couple fork clickers softer on compression and rebound. Made a pretty good difference. More comfortable now

I’d say it’s going to be a fantastic trail bike. It just comes from the factory a little stiff for my liking. A little fine tuning of the forks and maybe a touch softer in the rear, this thing will be great in the woods. I’d say two clicks softer and we’re good to go for what I like.

@@steezzyy3918 Glad you made this video. I am suppose to pick up ,y 2023 250FX this week. I was second guessing myself after watching your video. I am 6'4" and 175. Coming off of a beginner 2020 KLX230R. Lets hope i do not kill myself on this new bike.

@@fattie2550 you’ll be in love. There is no other bike like this on the market. That’s why I own two of them. Perfect for the trails and can also kick ass on a track if you want. It’s not gonna kill you, but it will be an awesome and reliable bike for years to come. Where are you located at?

@@steezzyy3918 I am in Boise Idaho. Where are you located?

@@fattie2550 I’m in Michigan. Totally different terrain, but I’m positive the bike will gladly tackle your terrain

That’s a hard number to say. My initial reaction was about 15% or so. I think a better way to describe it is the new bike is set up for a pretty aggressive rider at 175lbs. Not pro level, but definitely about B class skill level. That’s about what I’m at, so it suits me well. I send whoop sections and over jump things landing to flats, the new bike is much more capable of taking the big hits without bottoming out. The old one is much more plush for smaller rocks, roots, and bumps for sure, but the new one is set up to be pushed hard without hitting the limit

Did you end up getting your new bike?

@@steezzyy3918 yep. Picked up a 2023 fx in October. Where do you have your clickers set? Mine are in stock form and it seems very stiff.

@@fattie2550 that’s what I wanted to talk to you about. I think I have 4 hours on it now, and i went two clicks softer on compression and one softer rebound. However, I raced it once and still think it’s too stiff. I’m taking it to Enduro Engineering this winter to get it set up for my weight and riding style. It’s not too stuff if you’re on a moto track, however in the woods and the chop I encountered it was rough. Looking for a mix of being stiff enough to absorb the big hits and soft enough to soak up the chop. Overall, the race went well and I was still able to ride it and do well, just think the revalve will do wonders

@@steezzyy3918 Did you have to remove your handlebars to adjust your clickers? I only do trail riding here in Idaho so I’m gonna go as soft as I can from there. I have a little over 7 hours on my bike now.

Owners manual, title, and VIN say 2023

Thank you!! We are gonna do the Michigan sprint enduro October 9th, you should too! But I got this on in maumee Ohio at Honda East. I’ve been playing around with some maps, I like the MX power feeling or the hard hitting. I tried a few others that I didn’t like

@@steezzyy3918 if your doing that sprint enduro is maple city I’ll be there! If that’s the one your doing lmk so we can possibly meet up at the event to say hi or something?!

@@Captain250FX yes, that’s the one. And absolutely!

That’s what I thought as well, however I found what I think is the first one in the Midwest

@@steezzyy3918 maybe mine will come before then since mine is shipping to Michigan

@@adamgradowski5835 I actually live in Michigan as well. Jackson area

Just a fuzz under 10k

@@steezzyy3918 That’s a good price. One dealer quoted me 10,400 and another one was 11,500 in Idaho

@@fattie2550 Honda East in maumee Ohio is my new preferred dealer. No prep or freight fees, just tax and title. $9850 OTD

Yes but it is different. The suspension is a bit soft on the bigger hits but it handles so well. Plenty of power. Biggest difference is the soft suspension and there is 6 gears. So I ride thru the ruts in 2nd or 3rd. Never in 1st

This bike handles amazing. i have zero complaints about the weight or how it feels. Ive owned honda, suzuki, husqvarna. I like this one the best. Its pretty rare i take it to the track, but when i do, i have no issues other than being out of shape! I will say that the forks are a touch soft for the bigger hits, so a couple clicks towards the firm side and you should be good. Im 5'10 165lbs. Zero regrets buying this bike

Nothing wrong with it, It just wasnt for me. The bike and i didnt gel. So i got rid of it and am very happy with my new Yamaha.

I did have that problem! I only did it once, but I learned from it so I was careful after that. Unfortunately this bike didn’t last long for me. Sold it within a couple months of buying it

I would say it was similar to the 2 strokes I’ve ridden. And I’m not a fan of that vibration

If I’m gonna have 6-8k into a bike, I want to love it. This bike wasn’t the right fit for me and I recognized that almost right away. I bought my Yamaha and absolutely love it. Never looked back

@@steezzyy3918 yeah I get u congrats on the Yamaha

The seat would be easy. The kick starter is not easy and might have been impossible. I don’t think the engine case allows for it. And that wouldn’t of fixed the front forks or the crazy vibration the bike puts off. Anyways, I sold it a few days after this video and bought my Yamaha, which I love dearly.

That they are. Cracks me up when people want one of these KTMs.. I had that Husky and hated it. SO happy with this bike! We will ride this spring and get some good single track in! Thanks for the support Captain, cheers to you!

Robert M this is true, however not one time have I had to check my gas on this bike. 50 miles plus of single track in a day and my gas light still doesn’t come on. It has incredible gas mileage

@@steezzyy3918 good to know im looking at the bike to buy , that being said me personally i would not block that feature out , but each to there own , and great video btw.

didickcheeseburger yes it is

Weston-Chevy 5’10” and 160lbs. It’s perfect for me

joe0813 this is a ‘19. I didnt want to 20 cuz there is no option to add a kick start if you wanted to
