  • 306.8 hrs, Why?
    Just wanted to run one tbi forever and see what happens.
    Ktm is a massive world wide manufacturer, sometimes their decisions from a consumer standpoint is confusing, but, one thing they've always delivered on, is reliability, consistency and newest innovation than anybody else.
    And I measure this from my data pool of hundreds of personally owned Ktm bikes, and not the information found on over-dramatic forums.
    .
    It's why I've been coming back and buying a brand new Ktm owned bike every year since 2016.
    Gas & Go
    2023 Husqvarna tx300
    .
    Side note,
    I keep 90% of mine bone stock. (Not including protection parts)
    Every single bike I've modified or seen friends modify with heavy aftermarket modifications is where I've personally seen and experienced problems.
    Don't change the oil? Keeps running.
    (100 hour no maintenance test, on purpose)
    Forget to put oil in it?
    Still runs. (1350 miles of no transmission oil down the entire baja peninsula by accident, and it made it to Cabo)
    .
    But relocate injectors and plug a computer in expensive fancy aftermarket tuner to remap the bike? Problems.

    We saw 450 hours of service out of an original TPI piston. Many go over 300. Glad to hear your experience matches mine. Let the haters hate. It’s true that back in the day a 125-250 piston in an air cooled motocross bike wouldn’t last very long. Tech marches on with liquid cooling, tighter tolerances, better materials, and better engine management systems. I’ve bought 5 new KTM/ Husky 300’s since 2010. All have been quality machines. My 2024 TE 300 is the best yet.

    400 plus on my 17 250xc og clutch 3 top ends one due to overheating. Im debating when to rebuild the crank, its soon. Don't want it to blow and wreck more stuff.

    Pistons last when properly tuned most people tend not to push so time will tell

    Japanese fan boys crying inside that they need a new top end with every tank of gas. I just love how well the engines on these husky’s were built. 300 hrs on a top end and compression within factory specs is not uncommon on these bikes. As long as you run the 60:1 ratio with 95-97Oct you’ll be just fine.

      Japanese fan boys are not crying, I got a yz 85 2005 and I have it for 5 years ride about 10 hours each week and it never blow up same top end, piston, clutch as it had when I bought it.

    Ok, this one lasted 306 hrs, others will blow up at just 6, lots of examples out there... Who wants this lottery? 🤔

      We go through anywhere from 25 to 45 dirt bikes every single year. I say we have one of the biggest data pools of any Dirt Bike company out there

      When you pay the extra couple bucks for something high quality and don’t buy Japanese, mine has 299hrs on the stock piston. Just the a compression and leak down test a couple days ago. Still as good as when I took it off the showroom floor.

      @Landonmoto39 just because you can, doesn't mean you should. You can hear and feel the difference of a new top end at 80-100 hrs. Sounds like 300hrs of neglect. You should do a follow up video with the head pulled to show everyone the condition it is in. My guess is that cylinder is so glazed you can see your reflection in it.

      @@panic-revv85 nah….no neglect whatsoever…the cylinder has been checked multiple times, no glazing or scoring…the rings have been changed multiple times throughout the 380-ish hours…it always starts first or second kick and always goes through a strict warm-up regimen….it’s just a trusty old machine that still barks and will pull the front wheel up off the throttle in 4th…I’m by no means saying this is an every weekend extreme mountainside hill-climbing machine, it is a spare bike/bike that buddies without machines will ride occasionally…good old bike

      @Landonmoto39 pics or it didn't happen. Why not just throw a piston in if you're gonna do the rings?
