I ride at the same altitudes here in Utah. My bike is a 2013 with the 2016 upgraded cylinder and head. I run a 35 pilot , KP2 needle and 160 main for my jetting. Although I did pull my plug after setting that jetting and it looked good, as I'm sure you know, conditions are all over the place in the winter so it's hard to say what's good. Air temps and snow density play a huge role. My EGT has never gone over 1250. While riding level terrain, my EGT is consistently running about 1050. When I have to climb over a peak it will spike into the 1100s and very rarely get to 1250 for just an instant. It sounds like I'm in a good range. I am very curious what needle and position you are running and what main jet?
Have the same bike and love it, no snow kit for me as it seems we hardly get any in New England anymore. Really interesting and informative video living vicariously through your snowbike videos haha, keep ‘em coming!
@@TrevynNewpher do it, your good at it! I’ve been running my 300 for 3 season now and trying to convert my Dirtbike crew, but when I start telling them about the modifications it gets overwhelming. This video is articulated perfectly. Next time they ask I’m going to send them this.
How do you think a Riot 3 pro 129" would perform? I have a 09 300 xc that runs similar to yours. I've rebuilt it a few times and it consistently slays the dunes and out climbs most of my buddies newer 450's & TPI'S.. I've been wanting to join those buddies on the snow and just came across a good deal on a Riot 3. Think imma do it..
I'm excited to build my ktm 2022 300xcw tpi and riot build. Bought it last year at the end of the season and held off building it for this year. Are the pipe wraps pretty helpful?
your edits are super impressive and this one is helpful Do you find you have to do a lot of clutching with the 300 to keep it in the power? For your set up is transition into the power band abrupt? Just really interested in 2 stroke set up and wondering about these aspects.
I don’t find that I’m clutching a ton more than my 450. I do shift more. If you aren’t as good with shifting you probably would be slipping and popping the clutch more for sure. Power is more explosive than a four stroke though my 300 seems to pull off the bottom better than other 300s I’ve ridden. .
How capable is it on the really deep days compared to a 450 with a 129, rode hahns peak and wolf creek this winter on a sled but I think I’m going to switch to a bike for next season.
It is lighter and holds its own. I was often leading climbs on deep days over my buddies with 450s and longer tracks. A good rider can make a big difference. That being said I had an ARO3 last winter kn a 450 as well. That setup definitely will out climb, but it’s not near as fun IMO. I snowchecked two Riot3 kits for this winter. I’ll be putting one on this 300.
Love the build!! How long have you been running with no engine jacket? Still no issues on that front? What outside temps is that ideal for? I have ordered a 2022 xc 300 TPI and a 2022 Riot 120, so looking forward to trying it out.
All winter. Temps are consistently 90-150 i find. I actually put a fan on it in the spring when the snow wasn’t as deep as temps were climbing over 150° more consistently. Forks held up all winter though I did end up putting a trio on it for the firmer spring snow as I wasn’t confident jumping and dropping it without the added support. Congrats on the kit and bike. Most versatile summer/winter setup I think. I haven’t tried a tpi in the snow yet. I hear they are more sensitive to temps. I’ll be holding onto this carb bike for some time I think.

I think you found your happy place. its nice when someone can just be happy with they have! nice work! Congratz man!

I'll do my best. I have some footage I need to go through! follow me on instagram and facebook for more frequent content
Nice set up! I run 2016 kx 450f with 16 MH ST, pst engine, tss shock and the trio shock, c3 thermostat and heated bars.
Havent seen alot of 2 stroke snow bikes around, this video was a super interesting look at one! Great video!
Thanks man. Glad you enjoyed. I need to get some more non-GoPro clips of it ripping.
Great video! Ironically I have my BRC 500 setup very similar with Kreft suspension. Come up to Alaska sometime and let's ride! Cheers!
Awesome video, thank you.
Glad you liked it. Might do more product and build reviews down the road. 🤔

I ran a riot three on my 300 last winter. It worked awesome. Look me up on Facebook or TH-cam. I have videos of me riding it.
@@TrevynNewpher Will do. Much appreciated 👍

is that pipe wrap just regular pipe wrap or did you coat it with something else?
Just regular wrap. I may run it without this winter
@@TrevynNewpher don’t think you need it?
@@jkell450 not sure how much benefit I’m seeing. It’s a pain to put on

@@TrevynNewpher thanks for the quick reply, that’s good to hear. I’m going to do the trio with a fox shock.
@@SousaMotorsports nice. will be a fun setup!!!
Where do you have the sensor welded in the pipe, for the EG Analyzer?
You want it placed at the tip of the exhaust flame. My mechanic installed it. It’s 2-3” from the exhaust port
Do you run 2 dome washers on your countershaft sprocket?
No. Just one. There’s a colored washer on this sprocket to cover the holes. Just adds bling

Hello. how many teeth are there on the motor and gearbox of the kit?
?
Bro how is the riot 3hundo kit , 2 stoke spinning that 3 inch fine ?
It moves it fine. My carb 300 is a beast though. Built motor runs strong. Most fun I’ve had on a snowbike
@@TrevynNewpher so not so built carb 300 3inch or 2.5 for alaska
@@AkJaysAlaska should definitely move well. If you’re looking for the fastest bike in a straight line a 450 will likely be better
