I can’t wait for the engine tuning episode to come out. I’m so tired of my bike flaming out at low idle and that low end sputter drives me crazy. You rock Rich!
Great review. I'm on the GG EC250, I don't like brakes that crap too much, I have the stock braketec brakes and I prefer them to the Brembo , and the clutch I think is better than the Brembo, the modulation point never changes with heat, never get clutch drag, there great.
My friend was pretty disappointed when the Husky he ordered came in with Braketec, he founds some Brembos for a good price on a snowbike web site. Some people build a snowbike and don't ever plan on putting the wheels back on and sell off the wheels and brakes for a good price.
I heard they used breaktec during Covid because Brembo had production issues they are going back with brembo now - I have 23 Husky 501 smoked the breaktec rear brake 2nd time out - bent the caliper - have new brembos now no more issues
As usual , great video. Could you please tell us which tracking system do you use ? This one seems to work pretty well... Useful for us practicing alone. Many thanks.
Thanks for your video, its very interesting and good explain. For me this brake are very expensive, I have a money for the live and the broken motorbike parts 😅. In front I put a nissin the old gas-gas bike and brake very strong more than new brembo braked Im very happy. In otherside I think If you use a 12-tooth sprocket, you will quickly wear out the chain sliders. For the suspension chapter, I use softer springs, more suited for enduro. The stock springs that come with the bike are motocross springs. So, there's always a part of the suspension that we don't use, even on the hardest descents. For the rear suspension, there's a rod parts in aftermarket with a Casima coating that can be replaced and re-valved it is not expensive suspension rod. It looks like in motorbike. Additionally, in the front suspension, by removing the stock motocross springs, you can install cone Valve forks just the tubes, which come with a black anti-friction system, (looks more like in husky pro version with black chassis) and take the opportunity to re-valve. I hope these comments help you in your research on suspensions. Greetings from the north of Spain
What would make you choose 12/48 or 12/50? Im on a 300 xcw and run 12/47 to keep my stock chain and have my rear wheel a notch inside from stock. Wonder what i should look to make the right choice of gearing
Hello. I see you put floating front rotor. Aren't you worried about the dirt or damage? The theory (common knowledge from internet ;-)) is that fixed rotor and floating caliper is the way to go on dirt bike. The reason i am asking is that I consider changing rotor size in my Honda CRF250L and aftermarket/bigger rotors avalilable to me are usually floating. Tkank you

Hey! One question regarding lugging the bike without moving it on a steep uphill, when you've lost momentum but just want to hold the bike on the clutch so that it doesn't roll down - what can you suggest apart from the usual clutch drills to improve my problem... When I'm on quite steep stuff with limestone/silt on top of it, or similar, I seem to struggle holding the bike on the clutch, because if I give a bit too much gas or let the clutch out a bit too much the tire spins, whilst if I try to hold the clutch in decently but give small throttle so that rpms are nice and low, I usually stall the bike and then, as you can understand, the situation become bad quite fast... Do I just need to give more throttle with the clutch almost completely in to provide enough power to the engine so that it doesn't stall whilst at the same time because of the clutch almost in only tiny bit of power is transferred to the ground to not break traction, or is there something else I should be doing/practicing? Thanks!
Thanks for the video. The quality of ktm/husky stuff is of increasing concern, callipers that break by themselves. Ok, you’ve upgraded all to motomaster, I’m jealous, but that will have cost you thousands, not for everybody, especially after forking out for a brand new bike! I made the decision to wait for the 2025 models with brembo brakes…
@@lorenmuhling3633 hmm maybe they put brembos on some? My clutch is brembo but the brakes are definitely braketec. And I've been looking for flags that bolt on like they do to the mounts on the brembo ones. I found some websites say they're brembo and some say braketec.
Likely your dealer did the old switcheroo on that bike before selling it. they don't come mixed matched. typically they will swap the clutch master over as well so it's all even. if you bought it brand new, that's likely what happened.
@@lorenmuhling3633 nah my dealer was incompetent. When I bought it they spent 10 minutes searching for a spark plug to sell me. Sold me a $25 plug that wasn't even close to the same. Couldn't even imagine them doing that since the brakes are shipped on them. I really do think the gasgas were just spare parts that year and they ran out of braketec. The spec page says braketec brakes for the 21-23 ex. Ec has brembo.
Husqvarna, KTMs premium brand. But first you need to find a 2018 KTM and rob Brembo brakes, then replace the entire fork and shock innards, install after market piston kit, 2stroke performance head and re-map hmmm..... I dont think so
Little disappointed.. I read the title and though you were going to do some changes/ upgrades to the existing brakes ie pads, fluid change, SS lines etc.. "making the worst, the best' not "replacing with the best".. I'd be bummed if I spent $10K on a Brand New bike, then had to add another $1000 just to get the brakes to work :(
Another keyboard internet lame attempt to make a good point. When it comes to KTM and China, KTM is only moving assembly production of one street bike, not any of it's dirt bikes.. Also, Braktec is not china. And last, the KTM group provides different choices on their bikes so people don't have the exact same set up on every model. Regardless KTM looks to go back to Brembo on Husky in 2025, a lot of non pro Husky's for 2023 did come with Brembo. And last, all KTM models are already Brembo equipped.

wicked as always - thanks
I love how you can ride these cool little spots for hrs. Seems like every time I go riding we just put miles on and I don’t polish my skills.
Should be called, throwing away the WORST brakes and spending lots of money on the BEST😂
😂😂😂 that’s exactly right!!
You are so amazing at demonstrating technique and why the bike set up is so important. Brakes, gears, and human.
Thanks so much for the support!

My back caliper broke last week! No crash. Just snapped while riding.

Thank you ❤
Hi. On my Gas Gas ec350 2023 (same braketec system) i've only changed brake pads to MotoMaster Racing Gp. Night and day difference and only few $.
That’s >$2000 in brakes right there! I spent a few bucks on EBC pads for my TE and they’re actually acceptable now. 😂
But man they are sweet
luckily looks like 2025 husky have brembos along with KTM. so just GG has the braketech
Only the pro husky has the brembo, the tx300 has brembo as well
@@jarrod1687 for 2025, brembo clutch and brake for all TE and FE.... google: husqvarna 2025 brembo
I think we'll see some shampoo promo with Rich soon )) thx for the video!)

Just curious: are you picky about pads? Do you like the ones that came with the kit?
As always… excellent video!
The pads are killer!!
did you have to put a new longer chain on to run the 48t? I have the same bike. sick vids!
Perhaps a bit more info on bite point. Is it adjustable? Lever ratio? Good stuff though. Good brakes in terms of build, but man they are pricey!
What would make you choose 12/48 or 12/50? Im on a 300 xcw and run 12/47 to keep my stock chain and have my rear wheel a notch inside from stock.
Wonder what i should look to make the right choice of gearing

I can't imagine dropping $12k on a brand new bike, then having to turn right around and drop another $2k on brakes...
Next bike yz 250 x??

Sounds like you’re practicing the right thing! Just takes time! I’d have to see you up close to see what mistakes may be happening

Do any rear disk guards fit on that Motomaster rear brake ?
woah! Suddenly Your Hair is long! Almost didn't recognize you!😜
Brembo or Motomaster?
you lost your side fairing man ??? cuze i lost mine too its so sad looks like the dont hold pretty good
Did you make all these mods to the Beta as well?
Nope!!
I wonder why they use Braketec. My 23 gasgas ex Braketec brakes are meh. Front one barely stops from new. No air in the line.
Brembo all the way! Can’t fail, going with the best of the rest😏
My 23 EX 300 came with brembos. EC comes with braketec but the EX were all brembo until 24 model

Are guys using the braketec masters with brembo calipers?
Yes 👍

Never had any clutch drag
Yes yes yes but how much? 💰💰💰💰💰

The KTM Brembo brakes are much better than my Beta Nissin brakes, OMG there is no comparison
@@onthethrottle7104 for me is the opposite, OMG there is no comparison
It's criminal to have to do this on a $12.5k bike.
Not hating but the new tpi, tbi bikes sounds horrible

Haha! Thats very true! Should have named it “replacing”. It’s really tough to come up with names when you put out a video every week!!
Can you explain why you like 12 48 or 50 for race purpose
Watch all your videos practice what you say seen big improvements in my writing
KTM moved production to China and now the components suck. They need to go back to Brembo.
Braketec IS spanish not chinese
