Chase....am I the only one noticing the new filter on your helmet cam? Tbh, it's hard on the eyes. Especially looking at the tips of the mirrors. I hope you can change this. AWESOME video, like always!
Hey chase! I’ve been watching your content for a few years now and you inspired me to pick up a bike! I am now the proud owner of a 2020 Kawasaki Versys X-300 and it’s been so much fun. In 2 and a half weeks I’ve already put almost 800 miles on her and it’s been the best 800 miles I’ve ever driven. Yea I get run down by a 636 at a quarter throttle going 100 mph but I don’t care. It doesn’t matter what people say about getting tired of a 300-450cc bike, motorcycles are fun at 100, 45, 20mph and everything in between. I enjoy my bike everywhere from the street to the dirt. I met a lot of people too and I’ve got a riding group of 300s, 400s, 600s, 636, 675, a 1390 and a 1441 (ZX14R). We just enjoy riding together. Also, 60-70 mpg is nice too. 😅 Thanks Chase!
OC: My 450NK had a lot of throttle play too and I adjusted the cables to get it where I wanted. Definitely makes a difference! I’ve had it for about a month and a half and it has 1100 miles on it and I absolutely love it!
a flashed Electronic Control Unit tends to smooth out the power as they're optimizing for power not fuel efficiency and pollutants. if you examine the graphs if stock vs flashed, the places the stock flattens is where it would otherwise be pumping out to much smog.
The highest return on modification investment anyone can do to a relatively modern motorcycle is an ECU flash from a reputable company/tuner. Whenever I buy a new motorcycle I pull the bread box, pull the ECU, install an exhaust system if needed, and wait for that wonderful ECU to come back in the mail. My two most recent bikes are an MT-09(gen 3) and an MT-10(gen 2). I had the flashed 9, swapped for the stock 10(for one ride, home to pull the ECU), that ride home SUCKED. I missed my 09. Currently on the flashed 10. It’s wonderful and have no regrets.
So glad to pick up watching you and yummir6 again. I used to watch you guys when I was overseas. Glad to pick up on you guys again. Been looking into getting a bike once I'm in the position and able. Love the content
Yeah a lot of stock bikes have pretty big mid range dips from the factory. The power is so much more linear and smooth after a flash. Totally worth the money
Mine has ~6,200 miles and has been tuned for the last 1,500ish. I have had zero problems whatsoever and the only things I’ve had to do so far has all been maintenance. I love mine and have no plans on getting rid of it anytime soon
I have an fz-07 and just bought the tuner kit so I can flash myself…….but have not ridden since I bought it :-( so no idea what it did. Just used it to reduce engine beak and exhaust swap
Aftermarket ECU flashes dont have to meet emission specs Of course that will change the power delivery. Unfortunately it invalidates your warranty, which here in the EU is 4 years and on a Chinese bike... I'll take the warranty. Written a by a cfmoto 650 owner, btw.
Yes, for a $4k bike, I'm not going to pay $400 just for a tune. I thought $200 is already a lot for a tune. The right price for a tune should be $50 if you're local, and $120 which includes shipping and handling. Not paying 3.5x over base price. For that price, I could buy myself a laptop and manually tune it myself.
Yet folks pay 500-1000 for an exhaust that leans the bike out further and reduces power 😂 You have a dyno and the software license already? You are a few grand short on your estimates.
@@ProDigit80 if you’re capable of cracking woolich(or similar), you wouldn’t have made the above comment. If you had or were capable of purchasing something like a dynojet 200i, you also wouldn’t be taking the time to respond. You don’t “tune” a motorcycle with a USB-C cable and your thinkpad lol. But nothing is stopping you from offering $120 ECU flashing services. Please(and I legitimately mean this), do start offering this service.
I want to say I enjoy the content but the effects(odd camera focusing?) on the video are pretty unsettling, it looks like you are on a set with greenscreen landscape around you. The mirror smearing is also pretty distracting.
@@ra6298 KTM makes goofy dirt bikes. Even their road bikes look like dirt bikes, so they're not exactly to my taste, but they've proven themselves to be well made. Not sure how that relates as Austria isn't China, who is known to cut corners like crazy.
Ok mate you do you. No one is forcing you to ride one. Maybe reserve judgement until there's a few with 20k+ miles clocked up though. Chinese manufactured does not automatically mean bad. So so much is made in China - like most phones sold.
ive heard that when flashing smaller bikes power gets more linear rather than power jumps. I don't know if its true or not because I don't have a bike 🫤

not the only one, its quite distracting to see the camera fighting to focus if I´m honest
Need to drag race a stock 450SS against your Team MSC Tuned 450 with the Yoshi 💪
Not beating me I ride 80-100+ mph almost all the time....lol

Fun has 0 to do with the size of the bike. I rented the little versys 300 when I went to Greece for a week and it was the most fun I ever had.

No computers was hurt in the making of of this film
Yes it is better. The flash from 2WDW on my MT-10 made an attending difference. Much smoother and got rid of the dip between 5-6k
Yeah a lot of stock bikes have pretty big mid range dips from the factory. The power is so much more linear and smooth after a flash. Totally worth the money
For CFMOTO, the right question should be after a ECU flash is: "Is it realiable after the update?"
Mine has ~6,200 miles and has been tuned for the last 1,500ish. I have had zero problems whatsoever and the only things I’ve had to do so far has all been maintenance. I love mine and have no plans on getting rid of it anytime soon
OC: Chase getting lost at the end reminds me of him and Yummi getting lost all the time.
Been waiting for this one !
OC: I’ll trade you my cruiser and you can use it as new years giveaway bike. I want a sport bike 😂
I wonder if it affects mpg.
Looking to get a first bike and im between the 450sr or sr-s does any1 know if the sr-s supports slip on exhausts or is it only fully system?
Only full system
I have an fz-07 and just bought the tuner kit so I can flash myself…….but have not ridden since I bought it :-( so no idea what it did. Just used it to reduce engine beak and exhaust swap
Which windscreen is that on the 300ss?
What happens with the warranty when u flash the ecu
Aftermarket ECU flashes dont have to meet emission specs
Of course that will change the power delivery.

whats up with the blur effects? that new?
Add a exile cycle hand clutch and throttle combo grips and get rid of the levers ?
Now all the premier comments are gone 😭
where is the free option for entering the give away
It is sold as a beginner bike, so the ecu is stock with that in mind - tuning releases the nannies.
1:49 was I the only one who clicked off fullscreen to check why I had the old school ugly white theme? 😂
With my Team MSC flash on my 300ss, I'm changing gears at 10k rpm...

good video but whats wrong with the audio...
I feel like the 300 looks better
That's actually a 2023 but who's keeping track 😂
Isnt this a 2023 model? They dont make this color in 2024?
All the powaaaa

bad to be in Europe and can't win it 😂😂😂 .... have you ridden the aprilia rs457 ????
first
I don't trust these cheap Chinese trash bikes to be anywhere near as reliable as real motorcycles. 😬
Is KTM a real motorcycle to you!? These bikes have already proven to be plenty reliable at 20k miles some have already put on them.
