    This channel is so great and what you were speaking about in the ~ 25min range means a lot as well. People will buy so many gimmicks that don’t make their bike better or more reliable but think bc an influencer uses it that they/we need it. Thanks for separating the wheat from the chaff

    As an owner of 2 stroke street bikes an oil injection and oil tanks. I have learned when filling them oil tanks up. Poor a little bit then stop for a moment repeat. It helps from pouring too much in and having it overflow everywhere wasting oil etc.

    Looking forward to your review. I’ve ridden 300 W’s for quite a few years and just switched to a ‘24 XC. My main complaint about the W is the large gap between second and third gear - almost always felt like I was in the wrong gear. Happy NBD, Zach!

  • @davidanderson2393
    @davidanderson2393 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I really enjoyed my 18 XCW, except the suspension valving, they came with a nice tool kit and owners manual in a binder for keeping track of service and mods. I had to add the map switch but fan was plug and play. Bought a new 23 TX300 which came with a dongle a spoke wrench and fuel line screens, fan requires harness, I did like the dash on W for keeping track of miles ridden. Always a trade off between models, waiting to see how I like the different gear box ratios for single track.

  • @DannyDifalco
    @DannyDifalco ปีที่แล้ว +3

    It uses the map switch from the XC and the SX bikes. They are around $140+ retail. KTM has them on a NO ETA back order. It is plug and play. Has a plug below the dashboard.

    Hey thanks for the video. Bought one from Fators in Redding CA on 6/22. Put 4 hrs on it at Chapple (Shasta dam). Came off 08 450 exc. Bike is way better than me. Gearing seems primo, second gear starts on some o**** hills. Take a variable speed electric motor and call it a 2 smoke.. It's a diesel. The 4t fad is fading... Will be checking on your next vids. Thanks again

Not paying close to 12K for a 300SX. Myself and a riding buddy just picked up two new 2024 300SX's from Langston Motorsports out of Perris, Ca. for 9.2K each out the door. No sales tax because we are Nevada residents. Doron Urbach was the sales representative that gave us the deal! We got to meet Grant Langston. River Rats in Bullhead, AZ was the next best at MSRP OTD.

    Great rundown. I'm pretty sure there will be a revised frame for '25 (same as BB and Lettie's bikes). The "Grumpy man" complained about his fav ultra forward mounting position missing but then went on to say how amazing the steering was on the new one. It's a good example about how excessive adjustability helps some "clowns" make their bike run/handle worse than stock 😛

    14/45 sounds like crazy high gearing, but isn’t on this particular bike since the transmission has lower gearing to compensate for it. This is something I’ve personally wanted for years. The pie plate size rear sprockets get beat to hell since they hang down so far, a smaller one is a very welcome change imo

    Sick bike! 🔥 I think im going to get a lightly used one hopefully for a good deal next year. What other similiar bikes you would recommend? I never rode a dirt bike, and im in my 40s, but i grew up on kid/teen bikes, so not really intimidated. I was originally thinking crf250f, Yamaha yz125x, but i dont want to outgrow the bike after a month. Not planning on doing racing. Just want a versitile bike to keep and enjoy for long time.

    Right on man - great looking bike. Personally Im the guy that loves the oil injection, never owned a 2T as a primary bike until my ‘20 TX300i because I didn’t want to screw around with premix. I love rolling up to a pump and filling it up. But the black tank as you pointed out is dumb. Are those billet triple clamps?

    You say CANNOT get to the plug with tank on…as in we foul a plug at starting line and have to remove the tank?! Basically race over at that point. In the past it’s been difficult, but I’ve always been able to modify an existing wrench (cut/grind/weld/etc) to make it work. Can you envision any sort of work around?

    • @highlandcycles

And I let it idle for at least 5 minutes every cold start…till radiator hot. But sounds like scheduled plug changes may be a new thing in the future…little extra expense not so bad versus the prospect of a DNF. Thanks for all you do, and keep it real man, can’t watch those other guys who keep trying to sell bunch of stuff I don’t need. Real solutions for real problems always appreciated!

    How do you reset the power valve like on the XC bikes? My XCW only came with a dongle to prime the oil pump?

      Try the dongle from the XC. Let us know if it works. AND, does the XC have a capacitor so you can push start with dead battery?

    I don't get it , the injector sprays only fuel and the oil is drippings just before the reeds ?
    Did i get that right?
    If so, i am really worried about the oil getting mixed well enough with the fuel.

    • @highlandcycles
      @highlandcycles  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You are correct. But that is how the oil injected bikes of the past worked. It’s also better than the TPI which sprayed the gas after the oil.

    • @ScottDukesRealEstate
      @ScottDukesRealEstate ปีที่แล้ว

      Gas injected on top of piston and oil into crank. No need to mix in the engine. One is for lubrication and the other for combustion/power. People mixing some oil in the gas with tpi's wasting their oil because the oil in the gas never gest to where lubrication is needed.

      It's Dunlops front and rear, MX33 front, AT81 rear. I love the Braketecs on my 23 Husky enduro bike, way softer clutch pull than Brembo and I feel the front brake has better modulation for slow technical riding. The Brembo front brake on my KTM 450 has more stopping power for sure but is way more grabby, and the clutch is stiffer but has shorter throw, so better suited for gate drops and racing. It's cool KTM has options for different types of riding.
