This guy knows his stuff!
No doubt , the best in the business!!
Dam that dude should definitely be making TH-cam videos explaining stuff about bikes
He does! His channel is Taco Moto Co. Really love his videos and the dual sport builds. Highly recommend!
for real i was watching the video and looking at my ktm and telling her damm baby you got all of that lol learn a lot of thing from this guy💯
I love the way Taco Moto explains stuff.
So in depth, and really helps you understand whats going on!
Tuner guy: explaining the tuning process in great understandable detail
This guy, interrupting: “YEAH DIS PRETTY CORKED UP HUH”
Definitely happy with the way my 500 Excf turned out based on Mike’s recommendations!! He knows his stuff and knows the difference between the capabilities of different mods and which mods are bogus or are right or wrong for your style! Thanks Mike! 🙏🏼
Absolutely!! mike is the man no doubt! glad you're loving the new setup on the bike!!
YZ450f is known for having unmanageable power down low with stock pipe and tune. A custom tune with a ProCurcuit t-6 exhaust system and Twin Air filter with the flash arrestor screen cut away has made the bike soo much easier to ride. I needed an exhaust with a spark arrestor for enduro riding in MT. The bike went from being a death trap that couldn't put the power down predictably, to being by far the best dirtbike I've ever seen. Granted, ive done over 30 mods to get it there. Leaving the decibel killer in hasn't sacrificed any power down low, and believe me it's got more than enough everywhere. 60hp is a lot of power.
"performance and competition" GOT ME FUCKED UP XD
Ahahaha🤣
Mike you've answered my questions twice now and I'm hooked . Ride a 2019 KTM 500 EXC-F with mucho aftermarket upgrades. Will be buying those fork turn signals , bought everything else last year from another to change out that honkin crapy rear stock light / fender . Thanks for all your expertise and incredibly fast response 👍
This was one hella good video teaching me a lot of new stuff about exhausts! Definetily want to try out something else than my FMF. Thanks for such an educational video buddy!
Of course!! Glad you could get something from it! i sure learned a-lot! Crazy how much goes into these things!
@@JoshDontStop Just put my spark arrestor / DB insert back into the FMF. Feels good not killing my ears all the time, and I actually notice more power from having it in!
I rarely watch a video in full , this went by so fast .You guys have awesome chemistry , you have the questions / he has the answers . I’d love to see a build series with both of you . Subscribed !
Thank you!!! we work really well together! Got more videos planned in the future
Love seeing knowledgeable people give the good oil on performance gains...
100% respect to the technician
Mike is the man!!!
I watch so many European sm guys I’ve never heard someone say akrapovic like that but good video and excited to se more
Thank you!! Lots more to come!
With the intake reed valve noise reducer removed, try removing the actual reeds from the reed housing and re-install the housing. It acts like a velocity stack and restores the correct velocity and throttle response. Works great.
Mike needs to make videos he explains everything and that’s awesome and he builds everything and knows so much.
he does! Check his channel out!
He has the best videos on TH-cam for KTM's
Havent yet done anything to mine. The EU EXC is great with like 62hp stock.
Enjoy the ride 🙌
Been loving it!!!
This is by far the best video i've seen when it comes to mufflers.
I've been thinking of getting me a FMF or Akrapovic for my EXC-F 350(sold in sweden, so bassically uncorcked already) but it sounds that i should stick with the OEM-one.
Would love a walk around of this guy's personal bike.
You should be using the ECU to get the power not blocking off the plpe !
backpressure is not good for the engine.
With the db killer it pop up pretty well.
Ya it sounds great with the DB killer in it!! Really crisp sound to it👌
Taco mike is the man
For real!!
Tacomoto is the best. Nice engine off wheelie.
Thank you!!
Go with FMF mega bomb and silencer + vortex & dyno tune. Taco don't know Supermoto
Taco Mike is the man for sure!!
No doubt!!
Dude this guy knows what he is talking about for sure. He is like a weath of knowledge that's for sure. I feel like anything to do with a dirtbike he knows everything lol.
Foreal! I feel the same way😅
@@JoshDontStop I hope to get together one day and ride with you that would be so dope & you seem like a really cool dude.
Ya man, I travel a lot so the chances are you’ll see me around 🤘 I’m just trying to have fun and share what I do with others
@@JoshDontStop right I couldn't agree more bro we have to bring attention to the sport of riding and get kid back out side doing things like that. And I live on the east coast but hopefully we will meet one day for sure. Just stay safe out there man.
I hope you guys see once the Swedish guys rolling full Motocross setups on their enduro bikes with 65hp these guys really have balls of steel 😂
This video is great dude! What a cool shop guy to let you do this video.
Man had to pry out those reeds but mine blow out multiple times while riding it
I have no idea what this person is talking about...However, that man is so absolutely knowledgeable that when I walk away I actually learned a lot. Hell, I even am thinking about getting my bike license. California kinda sucks for car transportation even though I don't think you can run these on the highways.
Mike knows all
the power of placebo 💪bro, take your bike and dyno it. actually Vortex did it for you. Zero gains in up to 7000rpm and peak power gain 2HP 😂
Great explanation very thorough!
He’s the man!!
I really like also the fmf with the baffle 🔥🚀
FMF with the Megabomb header, torquy with high end flow. What about adding the autotune option too?
The power commander auto tunes everything
She's a monster!
Happy for you bro
thank you!!!
This guy is incredible.
Great day bro
yep hahah
Why did it keep stalling on the test ride
It a trick that they do during wheel stands... They kill it and coast for a bit just to restart it
Great motorcycle
oh ya!!
Love your vids man you should upload more often
Thank you! It means a-lot. Im doing my best to get to 2 videos a week!
Love the videos man, was always curious with all the rave around Harley stunt riding these days have u considered rocking both the ktm and a Harley to stunt ride ?
What’s top speed stock it’s like 101 have you tried to
Go top speed now
Idk anything over 100 on supermoto is really fast Ahahah
People is not aware that these need to be unrestricted and that they have about around 58hp on the dyno unrestricted. Official stats say only 39 hp and there is several videos showing them having only 39hp on the dyno so now lot of people now think the KTM 500 only has 39hp and look elsewhere for their need for power....
Yeah had both 450sx and 500 huge power difference so sold the 500 may be looking to find another and go threw the uncorking just seemed like a lot to do
Ordered my wheels, looks fun
Can you comment on the bike motor and radiator temperature when you do stunts? How often the fan comes on it if is set to 190F?
It’s just set at whatever the stock temperature to come on. The only time the fan comes on is when it’s really hot outside . Like above 95 degrees and when I’m not moving . As along as you stay moving I’ve never had an issue
tacomotoco rules
Oh ya!!!
Bloke doing muffler what would be best for a ktm muffler 85cc 2010...what type should I get please help me...
im not sure about two strokes sorry :(
Try out a Vortex ecu you'll love it. You can increase the timing unlike the PC
He was just saying hello 🤣
Used your code. Thanks for the video
Just bought my 2021 KTM 500 EXC-F and I'm struggling to find an exhaust for it... What model Graves is this???! Sounds amazing!
Just check out the link in the description for taco Moto and you should be able to find the one for your bike! It’s the “graves titanium diamond slip on 20+” Use my code: Supermotojosh and you’ll get 5% off!!
I just got one also, and i'll be getting this exhaust. But where can i buy that power commander?
@@robertchambers690 You can buy everything from taco Moto. Use my code: Supermotojosh and you will save 5% of the exhaust and power commander . The link is in the description 🤘
@@JoshDontStop are those the only 2 things i need, and can hook them up like you did also? Also do i need to replace the factory header, or get a powerbomb?
@@robertchambers690 factory header is tuned very well
From my own experience, you wont notice 0.5hp from only muffler, it's just sound effect that you think you are faster
same here!
Don`t underestimate the power of sound making you think you go faster ;)
Nice video. I want a street legal machine so I’ve been looking at the 690/701, but the 450sm’s look like more fun. Decisions decisions…
Whatever bike you decided to get , make sure you have the 6speed transmission if you wanna ride on the road . Any Ktm with the 5 speed will run out of gear really fast
Here in Norway the KTM 500 EXC is street legal. I have a 2019 500 EXC with plates and it is really fun to ride and easy to control the power compared to my old Yamaha WR450.
love the growl of the bike, awesome video
Its sounds so good now!! Thank you
10:33 Too lean does not mean too much fuel, that would be too rich
Can u get the same numbers out of the excf 500 with the same mods
Hi Mike, I have the GET ECU with your MAPS and I just got the Graves Exhaust and needed to increase my engine idle screw about a 1/4 turn in, is this normal or should I make the adjustment in the GET instead?
Zero out the TPS, set idle speed to spec on your bike and SEND IT🤘🏽
Shoot me an email if you have any questions
Mike@tacomoto.co
hey bro i am nobel
your new t shirt designer from upwork .
i follow you here.
Thanks for posting. Are you running any other ECU upgrade or are you only using the "dyno jet commander"?
just the dyno jet , im going to try a new ecu on my new bike tho
Did you need to modify the suspension on your bike after doing the supermoto conversion?
I just went up one spring rate in the rear , made a huge difference
Weird how many more connections that Power Commander has than my Athena GET. I went GET and FMF 4.1 on my 2021 EXCF 500.... Would be interesting to ride a bike like yours back to back with mine.
you went with get so yours would be faster for sure. The GET and Vortex ECU's are much better than the PC
@@bmwm3man I usually end up riding map #2 which is softened because the main map is so hard hitting.
@@jasminebebe3455 nice. Where'd you get your ECU from?
@@bmwm3man Taco Moto Co.
what gearing are you runnimg?
stock gearing , works super well with the supermoto setup
@@JoshDontStop so low top-speed 60mph max?
Anyone considering Taco should look at the work environment then go look at how Rottweiler Performance's shop looks. You've got a guy working out of his garage, subbing out tunes from another kid working in his parent's garage vs a top notch company complete with R&D dept, dyno, race background, someone who answers the phone (both before and AFTER the sale), ships on time and correctly, etc.
this knows where he talks about but pleas stop saying gotsyaa every 40 seconds, hahaha
Installing the same setup tonight from Mike on my ‘22 500. So stoked to hear and feel the difference
Hell ya!! how do you like it so far?
@@JoshDontStop Dude I absolutely love. It's uncorked for sure but almost seems more managable/smoothed out if thats even possible. Such a fun bike to ride and dealing with Taco Mike was top notch!
What gearing you use
Stock gearing , i believe its 13 - 48
Another question. Where did you get your swing arm protective cover? Been looking for one for ages
Tacomoto has them, just the polisport swing arm guards on the his website. You can use my code : Supermotojosh it will help me out a bit :)
Wicked cheers bro will do 💪🏼👍🏼
Taco promo code doesn't work. Got another one?
Just updated everything, joshdontstop and supermotojosh will both work. Thank you for the support 🙏
I just got a 500 the 2022 model. Can I just put the muffler on or do I need the full set up. I heard you can’t just put mufflers on the 22 one bc of all the new technology on it but wasnt sure how true this was. Could you clear it up for me 😂
ya of course you can put on a new muffler with out any thing else and it will be just fine. But to take full advantage of the exhaust getting the tune will really help.
@@JoshDontStop no not true. The bikes are very lean from the factory. Adding an exhaust without changing fueling will lean it out even more.
Can I get a e85 tune and is it worth it compared to a 93 tune. I live in Iowa so Iowa has rase gas everywhere.
nahh no e85 tunes that i know of
GOTCHA. GOTCHA. mmhm! Gotcha. mmmhm! Gotcha!
Dream bike 😭
Your promo code dosen't work...
Just fixed it , either supermotojosh or joshdontstop will work . Thank you for support 🙏🙏
Where’d you guys get those shirt?
ahahah😅 i think i got mine as a present
hey bro what tires do you run on your KTM 450?
gpr 300's always
Yo, does your CEL flash on when you let the bike idle for >~60 sec? Mine does that with the PC5
ya it does , but i just kill the bike and restart it . Then it goes away . Has no effect on the bike
If removing the O2 sensor and adding emulator causes the error code (which is very annoying), why not just leave the O2 in place and skip the emulator.
@@eriknash8783 the instructions said to replace it. Unsure of why.
#SponsorSUPERmotoJOSH
All the sponsors!!!
I put a vortec ecu fmf and took reeds out I was told almost 70hp it rips check it out tricked out ktm on u tube
is this an xcfw or exc?
xcfw
Does this guy have a TH-cam?
Yep tacomoto
I wonder if that man has a 2002 crf450r slip on exhaust
who knows... maybe
@@JoshDontStop do I have anyway of getting ahold of the man??
@@SweatyPotatoGN send him an email all of his contact info is on his website 🤘
@@SweatyPotatoGN I kinda doubt it because he does pretty much all Ktm stuff . But who knows
There’s no Graves fitment for that bike unfortunately
Take the reeds out. I know Taco Moto knows to do that! Such a nice KTM 500 exc-f but due to stupid emission standards it's all bottled up!
We did pull the reeds out!
I pulled the reeds, then inserted an aluminum tube. Velocity tube. Not sure what gains that afforded, but makes for a smooth air intake.
A bone stock KTM 450 SXF makes 58hp this 500 is only going to make 53 after all that work. What is the point, just buy a 450.
one is street legal
@@claytonharbin1151 for less than you spent on the 500 you could have made the 450 street legal and would have had a faster bike.
@@shaneboushie4737 The 450 can't be made street legal in every state. Also isn't it a red sticker?
@@claytonharbin1151 I live in Arizona, we are still pretty free here. All you need to be street legal is lights.
500 is a different bike. 6 gears, wide ratio, different suspension, street legal, stroker motor etc. They do different things.
Bike keeps stalling out
Sooo DOHC is better😪
Uhm gotcha
yupppp
This man really thinks a spark arrestor makes more power😹
he is pretty full of shit xD back pressure? he think this a two stroke? xD
It’s not just a spark arrestor, the resonator insert moves the low end of power band down closer to idle and the hit off the bottom with his gearing and tires is sharper and more immediate.
@@TACOMOTOCO this isnt a two stroke, it has valves. back pressure isnt a factor on how a four stroke runs
@@charlieward7606 the pressure wave scavenging of the tuned can of the muffler is biased towards the low end of the torque range w the resonator insert installed and biased more towards mid range to top end w it removed
@@TACOMOTOCO there is no scavenging it has valves, they close, it’s not a two stroke
Dude, loose the skidplate for streetriding.
What about that urban moto jumping off of loading docks tho?
Guy just wanted to do the video so he could show off how stupid.😂😂😂😂😂😂
😔 Its not TH-cam's fault now..I was sleepingg😞
hahaha , you made it on the new on tho😀
@@JoshDontStop Yhhh and I'm proud of myself
