You looked good jumping through the air, after last year I had to keep the jumps in check. Haha, It was a tough one to get through.

@@auksmitty heat off them 4 strokes was brutal in the woods

Haha, the other guy was jumping the berms, he thought he’d try it.

Thanks!

It was a great track, thanks for watching!

Thanks! Yeah the course was perfect. It’s been so dusty the last two times get to see it in perfect conditions.

I just couldn’t squeeze past ole No Knees at the end.

Thanks! I felt so good after the race, could have done more laps. On the 2T I always felt like I worked so much harder. I should do an overview right after the race, I just always remember the race different than the video, that could be funny though.

I’ve been hearing that is helping with stalling, will have to try that.

@@auksmittyHe was clearly taking to me. You need to bump your idle down, that helps a ton.

Thanks and I 100% agree! I’m learning the 4T wants throttle the entire time whereas my 2T would freewheel.

Excited to watch your video with onscreen overlays from this race

@@auksmittyunfortunately, you won’t get to see the overlays on this one. The gps is lacking in robustness at the moment. The download process is way to cumbersome to do the full video and it times out for long videos, so for the moment, it will just be short videos. Hope to see some updates that allow quicker integrations and file transfers.

Thanks! Yea, he seemed a bit reckless but those AA guys will do that. 😂

😂 Definitely not AA, he was just desperate.

@@RedEarthMotoSportsdesperation does looks sweet on camera!

😂

RIP tree lol 😂

No, not on the start because it’s a dead engine start. The quick shifter only works from 2nd - up. You still need to clutch from 1st to 2nd. Now, you could if you started in 2nd but in my races I’d never need third that quick. Now mid-race the quick shift is great, it’s an instant shift. I love this bike. It’s as nimble as my Beta in the tight woods while having tons of controllable power. This bike makes tough races actually fun! It also does amazing on hills. The downside for me is that I don’t love the start button, I like a more of a button push. This last race I found myself stalling and starting while rolling so maybe I’m just getting used to it. Highly recommend this bike, the exhaust note is great and makes me want to go harder to hear the bark. Ha!

@@auksmitty I’m getting the factory edition. As for starts I start in second gear. I’ve also heard If you bump the idle up a little bit less flame outs. I might go with the Recluse clutch. Can’t wait to ride it. Awesome videos you have 👍🏻

I saw him with help the next lap, I never heard what happened.

2024 Husky FX350,

@@auksmitty Love it, FE350 rider myself. That looks like a fun race.

This track is one of my favorites of the SORCS series.

Thanks for watching. I wish I could have seen the FE350, but around me they are hard to find. I assume it’s basically the same just with a headlight, I ended up going with the 2024 FX350. I’ll eventually get myself in trouble because I just want to hear it growl a little too much.

I just checked and I was going to cut you a clip from it, but I ducked my head to keep the roost off me at your start so you can't see anything. Nice job on the holeshot!

Definitely rough!

C40+ class, A & B classes race after we finish

Haha Oh man, I knew you were letting me by and I hated I ruined it. I’m just glad we all got out of that with only bruised egos.

I was looking at your times afterwards and knew something must have happened.

@@auksmitty looked like you just got held up in the back that race

@@ClintWallace113the Husky just does take off like the 2T Beta. Although starting that quick has got me in trouble a time or two, haha

It was a close my eyes, all throttle, and hope for the best situation. haha

This is north Alabama near Florence. I wish the camera did the hills justice.

Nice thanks

Thanks for watching

No I’ve never ridden a 200, but I have buddies that do and love them.

Definitely a fun ride with the group. I hope I didn’t hold you up too bad, I could feel you judging my line choices shaking your head, haha!

Haha you didn't hold me up at all, and no judging unless it's Adam! Can't wait to do it again. Hopefully I'll have a better mount for the gopro this time and can get some footage of you all if I can keep up!

He had a pretty long picnic on the big hill if you saw that part.

@@auksmitty Having to wrestle the bike on the hill just takes so much energy. Especially when it gets caught in a tree like that.

@@johnchafin3817 My picnic was not as fun as I had hoped. 1 star rating for sure, will not go back.

@@RedEarthMotoSports sorry to hear that. Was this your first time there? I was there in November and it was lots of fun then. The main difference between the two was that November was a fresh course and this time it rained the night before the race. There were some added sections this time but it was pretty much the same course as November.

@@johnchafin3817 No, This is the same course I caught a root last season and blew out my knee. The property is beautiful, I just make dumb decisions there. Next time I go, I will try to be a little more selective with my line choice.

Same, I wasn’t expecting such a long train so early.

I was shocked there were so many jams as well. I don't think I have ever seen that many at the start of one race.

Thanks, so I’m coming off a Beta 250 2T, so that’s my yard stick. The suspension is great so far I notice it soaks up most of the big to medium roots from this most recent race. It feels so planted as most 4T do but combine that with a nice linear throttle, I am in love. The Beta always felt choppy over the same terrain. I’d chalk most of it up to me not knowing how to tune the KYB on the Beta. The Husky 350 power is so good, I felt so confident on the big hills and rough trail. Again compared to the Beta, this is a hill eating machine. I tend to break the rear wheel loose on the Beta in big power, but I think the TC on the Husky is really good at controlling wheel spin. Chassis is always hard for me to judge, but what I can say is my biggest fear in getting the FX was feeling heavy and not being able to flick it in the tight sections. It feels as light and as flickable as the Beta, in the woods. We ride such tight trails in places it was so great to put that worry away. My biggest complaint so far is the start button, I find it harder to hit when tired. I really miss the Beta start button, so all in all it was a fantastic choice for my 4T introduction and can’t be happier.

I’ll add, I did watch a lot of your videos which helped me really feel good about buying the Husky without ever riding one. I rode several buddies Beta 350, KTM 350, YZ250s before deciding. Thanks, always love watching your reviews.

@@auksmitty Thanks for watching my videos! There are almost NO ride videos on the 2024 FX350 out there so I am happy to follow along with your '24 FX350 adventures. The new 23/24 chassis is firm (some say too rigid) with lots of feedback for the first 10 hours or so till it breaks in. I really like the 24 FC350 engine I rode past November - that engine is perfect with strong smooth and fun power. I still have a '21 KTM 350 Kailub Russell Edition and that is my current gold standard for Power/Weight/Handling in a 4-stroke dirt bike (but it has full WP Pro Components suspension, full Akrapovic exhaust, and my KTM connectivity unit). I have a new 24.5 KTM 450 Factory Edition on order and due in soon. Will be fun to compare the updated more compliant 24.5 450FE chassis with my son's 23 450SXF. Enjoy your new bike and keep sharing your ride videos and thoughts on the '24 FX350!

Thanks!

I really do, the power delivery fits me a little better. I just need to get used to the engine braking coming off the 2T. I think I conserve more energy to on a 4T

@@auksmitty you riding manbone?

@@ClintWallace113yes, I’ll be there. I should be good from what I hear, I missed last years race.

Thanks! Great race for you too, seconds apart. Looking for that race video of yours!

Haha, who knows

You mean the kid he passed back who was laying on the trail at 1:50:45 LMAO

Thanks, it’s rare we get a fast open turn track. This was a great trail system.

Nice, that was a fun one. I’ll be back and ready for 2024 season.

Oh man, hope it wasn’t too bad. Speedy recovery.

Thanks!

Thanks Donnie. I’m not sure what I was looking at, but it wasn’t that tree, haha.

Thanks, it’s really sore but after an easy week ahead I should be good.

Thank you!

Me too.. maybe not so much when I clip one, ha.

Row 63, nice and beat up by then

Thanks so much!

Thanks, I think we can agree we are over dust already, although mud is coming…
