The 350's have better mileage than the 501's too. I do 75+ mph on the highway just fine on my 2017 FE350. You HAVE to balance both front and rear AND not have too much pressure in the tires... TRUST ME!
Just picked up a used 2021 FE350. Just got done swapping the S harness into it and dualsporting it. Pending le DMV giving me a MC title. Previous owner swapped the top end like a race bike at 75Hrs. It came in the sale. Keeping it as a spare since it is absolutely spotless. These engines running detuned last WAAAAAY longer than their race brothers.
How would you rank this bike for a newer rider (rode dirtbikes growing up a bit)? Majority would be easier trail riding/ hunting with the occasional highway ride to different hunting spots.
I just picked up a 23 FE350S, and its a blast to ride, even though I'm pretty new to dual sports. The one real major issue for me is how HOT the bike runs, but I guess with all the EPA junk on them, they run super lean.
Save your time and money and buy a 501 or 500 exc. They are both nimble actually the 500 or 501 is better in the tight and knarly. The reason why is that you can lug it more and there's much more torque off idle. Put a rekluse on it and it's a weapon not to be messed with. I have a 350 FX and love it but if your hitting streets the 350 is very uncomfortable for along period of time over 60mph. It has a lot of vibration. The 501 or 500 does not vibrate like this and handles the streets 100 times better. I love my bike and won't sell it but the 500 and 501 blow the 350 out of the water in dual Sport criteria and they only weigh 1 pound more.

Billet triple clamps, better wheels, linkage rear suspension, and protaper bars, all for only $100 more than the KTM, well worth it.
Agreed!

How about the maintenance in the street version?
Are the intervals service the same as the 100% dirt version?
Main problem with the composite subframe is that if you break it, good luck finding a replacement right now!
i got the 501s. tires suck on trail other than that great bike. does need an endcap or exhaust and ecu though if your doing some single track.

Have you found a solution for the heat via aftermarket parts?
@@ogregang3203 I did. I installed a Vortex ecu and FMF slip on, not only does it perform completely different, but the bike runs very cool.

Nope 501 is 60% more to insure locally I'll take a 350 all day long
@@nikslife9374when you are talking about a 13000 dual sport I think saving $100 is really stupid to base your decision on😂
so the dual sports dont come with brembo anymore that sucks
The huskys dont come with Brembo, but the ktm do.
@@D73GT Husqvarnas had Brembo until 2017, then switched to Magura in 2018
Is this a standard package or did you have to get an extra option for the street legality kit?
FE350 is street legal standard in 50 states.
@@mxgryan and does it come stock with mirrors and blinkers
@@dirtbikesandpoptarts9757 any street legal motorcycle comes stock with mirrors and blinkers.
What I need to do to make this bike aggressive enduro cross ? Not street legal I see there is no longer available fe 350 non s models
You need to get FC or FX
But i want enduro model
@@bercik9939 you definitely don't want to do endurocross on a dual sport.
I want one 😭
Do they have the Fe 350 in grey? man it looks awesome in grey
No.
Lol, those tires on recall and will need to be chucked.
Yes, and KTM replaces them with any tire you chose. I just did mine and got some great DOT knobs for free! Installed for free too
The 2023 450 is way better. Correct??
For motocross, the new gen is much improved.
What about the FE 450? Didn’t they take off all that emissions crap?
@@tonyahinkle1014 too heavy the 350 is the Best im my opinion
@@superfir8019 they weigh damn near the same. 350 is underwhelming power wise
You're not telling your audience that it takes months to get parts for this bike though.
Eh, in the past it has not, but KTM is having major supply chain problems at the moment.
