IS IT WORTH IT TO CHANGE FROM KTM TPI TO TBI?

  • Hold onto your handlebars, because I'm about to drop some serious truth bombs! When it comes to upgrading from the KTM TPI to the KTM TBI, I have a different perspective that might make you think twice before reaching for your wallet.
    Sure, the allure of a shiny new bike is hard to resist. The KTM TBI may seem like the holy grail of two-wheeled machines, promising untamed power and unrivaled performance. But let's pause for a moment and consider an alternative path that could take your riding skills to soaring heights without breaking the bank.
    Instead of splurging your hard-earned cash on an upgrade, why not invest in something even more valuable: yourself? Picture this: being mentored by a pro rider, someone who has mastered the art of maneuvering through treacherous terrains and conquering every obstacle in their path. Imagine the invaluable knowledge and skills you could gain from their expertise, all while fine-tuning your own techniques.
    With the right training and guidance from a seasoned professional, you can unlock the true potential within yourself. They can teach you the subtle nuances of balance, precision, and technique that no bike upgrade can ever provide. You'll learn how to read the terrain, anticipate challenges, and make split-second decisions that separate the average riders from the true champions.
    Investing in training with a pro rider is like fueling your bike with rocket propellant. It's the secret ingredient that propels you to greatness. Instead of relying solely on the brute force of a new machine, you'll develop the finesse and mastery that only comes from dedicated practice and personalized instruction.
    Think about it: would you rather have the latest bells and whistles on your bike but remain the same rider, or would you rather become a force to be reckoned with, armed with the skills and knowledge that can take you anywhere your heart desires?
    So, my fellow adrenaline junkies, before you empty your wallet on an upgrade, consider this alternative path. Invest in yourself, embrace the opportunity to learn from a pro rider, and watch as your riding abilities skyrocket. Remember, it's not just about the bike you ride; it's about the rider you become. The choice is yours, my friend.

    Can’t believe you people are giving so much importance to relics like the kickstart. Just have a proper battery. Been riding for years and not once a bike (mine or somebody else’s) failed to start. You see all the pros at erzberg etc live with no kickstart, so what’s the problem? And the subframe then!?

    I have a 2023 300 tbi, it’s great in every way for me, except the random bog/cut out of power that seems to plague a handful. Did it on a jump face. A dudes new husky on a facebook group did it on a jump and he broke his shoulder. It’s like the kill switch is hit when you grab a handful of throttle. Some kind of electrical glitch, either fuel delivery or power valve, map reset…something. It’s very random and when you least expect it. Again, best bike I’ve ever had except this issue.

    My 2022 300 TPI has a Slavens head, a Coober ECU, I changed it to TBI and premix and it rips now & chuggs at any low rpm also. 🤣💥
    I beat KTM by 6 months via going to premix and TBI. LOL. Took me a few months to figure it out and took KTM 6 years to go to it with the 2023..
    I backed the power valve out a bit to remove some of the very fun hit it developed.
    So many forget that a turn or 2 of the power valve can really change the power delivery to a person's liking.
    Without any adjusting of the valve it does not show the fuller range of operation any of the bikes can give. Except for the 2023 with the none manual adjuster as it is electric.
    Also there are a green and red spring you can buy for pennies (they came as extras for the older carb bikes).

      @@MathewsGuitarWorks I did some digging about that and its false. The dongle is can bus line terminator and removing it does not change map but allows more noise into the canbus. The only way to change map is with the switch and the ECU will remember the last selected map so if someone wants to ride in the other map and does not want to buy a switch then option is to borrow one from a mate that has one on their bike and plug it in for a moment.

      Great to hear. I've been riding a 350 4stroke so far and I really like it. On the other hand most of my riding is slow stuff so I rarely get above 3rd gear. A bike that is a bit lighter and less likely to stall and flameout but has similar throttle response would be ideal. Need to try one.

      The electric pv sucks. It's slow to respond, often catching it way out of place for throttle input. Makes for a flooded sound, always loading up. Avoid tbi bikes like the plague, there is a reason why ktm knocked 2,500.00 off these piles of junk.

    It's the same with any of the new bikes I think. Let the first year or two get the teething problems out the way then the TBI will become superior. Look at the 2018-2019 TPI bikes no one will touch them due to the issues they had with the oil pump failing causing catastrophic engine failure.

      @onthethrottle7104 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Not sure where you get your information but the 18 and 19's you speak of have the same oil pump as the 2020 - current TPI. They did not have any issues, the 2020 model, only in some cases, ran better due to updated ECU updates. An owner can make significant updates to their 18-19 model via aftermarket ECU and be superior to even the 2020 stock ECU. 2020 added an extra sensor which was for more emissions. The 2020 model also added a filter in the oil tank and updated the oil tank mounts. Also, the 19 TPI in particular had less issues over the long run and when looking at cylinders when I overhaul them they look fantastic. I've seen many guys go 200 to even 300 + hours on a top end! What I can tell you is to buy a 2019, install TBI TSP kit, delete the oil injection if you wish, update the suspension that fits your riding and you have a trail weapon for a fourth of the cost of a new bike and it will be reliable as it gets.

      @@onthethrottle7104 I had the idea of getting a second hand TPI and doing some upgrades but the price difference here is nowhere close to fourth of the cost of a new one. The local dealer is offering 300 TBI a hair under 10k and the few second hand TPIs are listed locally for around 5-6K. Add the cost of upgrades and its tempting to get a brand new one instead of a bike with 200-300hours on the clock (some have had recent engine rebuilds though) with pretty much unknown history.
