Thanks Dave I'm on the mend feeling better each day. Off to Romania next week helping out at RedBull Romaniacs. No riding but on the tools a little with the guys. 👍

@@ryanwolfert8618 dead easy I’ll do a video Monday 👍🏻

I have used mostly 2017-2019 KTM parts

@@Mac_Simiser once upon a time people use to say, ‘Jap Crap’ . How things changed. China bikes are massively improved these days. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

Hi bud, no plans as yet to make another video on the XTNG. 1. I'm currently recovering with a shoulder injury that happened during my last race in Serbia. 2. I like the current Keihin carb set up on the bike. If it happens it will be in the winter months when I'm not busy travelling. All reports I have is that once the carb is vented its dam good. All the current sales are now vented models.

@@BeautifulNorthWales-en3lx I think you have totally missed the point. It’s all about understanding tools and leverage. Yes use a torque wrench 100% but not everyone has one.

@@RobboRobinson Not using (or having) a torque wrench when you own a bike is like riding without a helmet: it can be done, but it's a really bad idea. I don't guess torques when I service an aircraft. It's going to lead to a failure if I do. That's why there are regulations and why bike makers specify the correct torques.

@@BeautifulNorthWales-en3lx I don't disagree with what you are saying. In the workshop there's no excuse. Out in the field , forest, mountain track people have limited tools and I'm blown if I know rider with a torque wrench tucked in his airbox. We have to understand our tools and bikes and do what's needed at times until they are in the workshop environment.

I think you mean high compressions cylinder head? As far as I know a company called AEB in France may be able to help you. They specialise in the DT230 engine performance mods. aebmotors.aeb-developpement.com/

Thanks mate, appreciate 🙌

@@diegomartin2719 no problem

Red loctite is ok. I've gone to using a smaller amount of oil just enough to to be flicked up when the starter spins. 3 in 1 oil is good.

The main reason I have this over the slightly bigger bikes is the weight and manoeuvrability. I can take this bike in to some really tight places knowing if I have to I can man handle the bike out of a hole if needed. I've even done pivot turns on it on the odd occasion. Another big factor is carrying out any mechanical work if needed. It's so simple and easy to work on. I've had the experience of working on and riding bigger bikes and they just don't do it for me. Having a campervan I can take the bike anywhere set up base and ride out for the weekend so no mega road miles. I like to take it into some technical areas where it would be unsuitable on the bigger stuff.

Thanks! Very informative and touch few important for me spots as well. I might have to rethink my choice for 701!

XL comfortable fits gpx.

The GPX 450 is a good bike. In comparison it lacks the performance of what the KTM 450. Something like 40hp v 49hp. Also the weight difference is probably 10kg or maybe a tad more on the GPX. Hydraulic clutch v cable clutch. A plus for the GPX is longer service intervals. It’s all a matter of what’s your budget and expectations. I wanted lightweight & performance so had to spend some cash. The seat is available for GPX bikes.

Thanks bud the 300 rips ✊🏻

Hi bud, it’s a higher spec battery to what is standard on gasgas Ktm bikes. 200cca compared with 120cca. Starter solenoid is a JMP part that will fit exc 2017 - 23 but also other stuff.

@@RobboRobinson , Thanks...I still have been struggling with my e-start and noticed it works best with my battery fully charged..so was thinking about the cold cranking amps...I'll check mine tonight. I will change that starter solenoid just for a better part. Thanks for the video and response...stay safe as I unfortunately had a crash and broke my scapula riding offroad of all things 🤣🤦‍♂️

@@Dirt_Bike_Dave bugger man sorry to hear that. I’m away till Sunday adventure riding. I’ll get the battery code across when back home for you to look at. Take it easy and heal soon. 🤞🏻

Jets should be somewhere near I would think. Clone or Genuine carb? Only way to find out is try one and have a selection of jets and a couple of needles. Contact Dave on the DirtbikeDave channel I think he uses a PWN carb.

@@RobboRobinson Nibbi pwn its new series from nibbi racing , design same pwk have power jet

170 is a good start point. Heat , humidity, elevation all play a part in jetting.

Good work 👍🏻
