Not on a single pole, single throw toggle. The circuit is closed or open depending on direction. In the UK where this tower is from, culturally down is on, their light switches are even down to turn on. The switch needs to be rotated but you can’t because the tower is keyed to keep the switches from rotating.

Take a look at this video: th-cam.com/video/TX6wg2Qg7YQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=YC_4p7WU3NH7okAV

It is a hefty install, there are more options these days. The moto minded and rade garage kits are really good

If it’s more single track focused, 350 all day. I race 350 XCF, favorite bike for aggressive riding. 500 can do it, but just feels a lot heavier

The compression is very high on these and they rev to stratosphere, but are they long term durable working that hard,I'm going to get one for the plate ,nothing with a plate is as good offload currently,I need a plate, ride here in Wash State on forests and DnR land.

About to rebuild my top end at 150 hours, A class enduro and desert racing. Really have beaten the piss out of it, curious to see what it looks like inside.

My story is I'm 62 and only owned Japanese Bikes riding for 50 years always have a few dirt and street,but nothing from Japan is as light as the KTM in its class and gas gas and husky too and Beta are just lighter,I want six gears and torque down fairly low ,I want Brembo and a hydraulic clutch and Mostly not over 260 wet...The 500 has a motor I would expect to last longer as it has less compression and lower rim with longer stroke,The key to more power is the modern fueling control and these outrageous compression ratio and wide bore short strokers, on a dyno singles that rev high are not very linear sometimes worse than 2 cycle.

An uncorked 350 (exc with Get Ecu/full exhaust OR XCF race bike) is the most linear and longest powerband bike I have ever ridden, BUT it needs to be ridden aggressively. It does not have slow speed off idle chug, the high compression makes it very prone to stalling without a lot of clutch in slow speed/low RPM scenarios. A stock 500 will stall a ton too, but once they are uncorked they will chug in low rpms shockingly well for a 4T, they just don’t rev out like the 350. The 450/500 KTM motor is bulletproof, have buddies with 400+ race/race practice hours on 450 XCF without a valve adjustment or top end, not advisable but they don’t torpedo. At 150 hours the 350 does not feel as crisp, definitely needs a top end. I am religious about Funnel web filters and oil/filter changes, definitely the stress on the motor is the factor. Cheers

🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ - such is life. More gas in the desert and mountains is good.

Sorry, this is all I have, hope it helps!

Cheers, nope nothing else specific take care, enjoy

Cheers, enjoy!

Damnnn I’m so sorry

Thanks man! Definitely a fun bike!

It’s for sale, you want it?

No sorry

Yeah probably man, I got lucky and bought that bike for $5K with 2 hours on it so that’s why it made sense to build it up.

Takes a little playing with the clicker and finding the sweet spot, but yeah, it’s awesome and delivers. Support team is great

I find the metering rod carbs are way more sensitive to tired top ends, do a compression test on your bike and see where you are at compared to spec.

@@SourceADV fresh top end

Sweet. Yeah Smartcarb is great, you might go plus minus a couple of clicks depending on temp, humidity, or elevation but that’s just if you are really picky like me and want pure crisp

She’s for sale if you want it :)

@@SourceADV I currently own a 2008 5.7. I’m the only owner and have 294,000 on the ODO. She doesn’t get many freeway miles these days but I love her. As tempting as a second 2nd gen sounds, I don’t have the time or extra spread for a project truck. God speed!

She’s dialed dude! 130k miles, hahaha take care

No idea, sorry, never dyno’d the bike

Thanks!!

They are sick!!! I have shitty eyes and they help so much at night too. Cheers!

They’ll go 30-40 hours in ADV style riding

It’s not great too be honest, the transmission is too narrow so if you gear for highway speeds, it stinks on trails. The KTM 690 or 890 is a much better option if you want to do some highway

Yeah, it’s the one that’s for ATV+Moto

Just trying to keep everybody on their toes 🤣

Thanks you! It’s pretty dang cool up there by Page!

Best deal out there for a tri fold, cheers!

Mine are still so solid! They are a great product and really modernize the front of the truck. I think if I was being smarter I would probably would have had someone clear bra them right after I installed them to keep them super fresh for life. Mine are still mint but would be nice to know they are protected. Cheers!

Thanks!!

The Hyperdip stuff from Dip My Car

Thanks! And yeah that’s exactly right, it’s basically 2 years on the dot

@@SourceADV yeah it looks really good I’m a do my rims soon it’s bin raining so much I mean I’m gonna do them inside my brother shop but I wanna wait until all this rain stops I live in Maryland it’s crazy how much is been raining really haven’t seen this much rain since I was younger every day almost for the past two months it’s been raining a lot

@slh48 good call. Wait for dry weather, definitely use that plastidip prep spray to clean everything

Fastway Cargo rack, it’s a proper pain to install with all the plastic trimming you have to do

Heck yah, it’s a great bike!

Those are the Cycra Ultra Pro Bends direct from Yamaha's GYTR catalogue, hence the blue matched/branded shields. These came with the bike. I run the Molecule full wrap plastic guards now on all my race bikes, but I also don't hit trees or go down as much as I did back then LOL!

Thanks man! Great riding area and just amazing corner of the earth

You want to buy it? She’s all yours

Thanks man, it’s the Fastway Pro Moto Billet rack, they have them at Rocky Mountain

Yeah, dirt bike goggles or sunglasses are a good idea for sure, so is a bandana you can put over your mouth if it’s really bad. It all depends on how busy it is and how fast you go though.

It does not, the counterbalanced engine came to KTM on the 2017 KTM 250/300 XCW engines, this engine is based on the older architecture. Vibration is not crazy though.

Check them once in the first 5-10 hours, if they are going to move they would have done so then. After that every 100 hours is fine but your brain will say otherwise LOL. If it gets hard to start that’s a good indicator to check them.

Jeff, I’ll be honest, I cannot remember and don’t have this bike anymore. Did you try balancing your tires or is it engine vibration you are referring to?

@@SourceADV yes, wheels balanced. It’s the engine vibration through the seat and pegs anything over 65mph. Bike is smooth but a fine engine vibration bothers me. Thanks for the reply though.

@jeffmm1474 ah got it, honestly the XC Gear Mako360 handlebar mount is a game changer for hand vibration, they have pegs that go through rubber too. How long are you staying at 70?

@@SourceADV yep I have the 360s on my 300. I have vibration reducing bar mounts. It’s mainly the seat and pegs. Will try the rubber peg mounts. I’m usually not running 70 more than 5 mins. Would like to go farther but vibes stopping me from that. Will try a 45 rear to reduce the revs or a 15 front. I love the 500 for everything except 65+ mph. Not what it’s made for I know but can always dream of that unicorn. 😀

@@jeffmm1474 Try the 15 front man, at least you wont have to mess with chain length. It will probably kill technical singletrack riding sadly. No real unicorns out there... all though the Kove 450 Rally has definitely caught my eye!

Makes sense, definitely not a beginner bike with a light switch power band like this thing has.
