Do you recommend the BR7 on the new ‘24 300 XC-W?

Looked like you had a screw loose when you were showing the external adjustment?

Thank you Jeff, I am also curious, can 2 of these be installed in one shock? Lowering bike around the 60mm mark? I want to fit a wp rear shock to beta xtrainer but would need two lowering rings stacked, is that possible ?

dang i read in manual 3 hrs was the break in period and now im reading have to change oil after 1 hr. Im at 2.2 hours how bad is this . that im just now going to drain and change oil at 2.2 hours

Can I do the smog, exhaust screen, and intake reeds delete with the vortex? Thank you

I just bought a 2024 XW-F 500, what is the difference between it and the EXC-F 500 model, to me it just looks like the street legal add ons, but google says the XW-F 500 has 39.5HP and the EXC-F 500 has 64HP.

You didn't mention if you had to add or subtract any chain links when you went to 15 front setup or back to the 14 setup. I just put 13/49 back on my 2016 500 and like it better than the 14/50 or 14/48, mainly for trails. Don't care to go past 60 on any highway anyway so I gear for dirt riding. 14/48 seems a little throttle sensitive to me on trails and 14/50 not bad but still a little tall, 13/50 was pretty good to a little short for the power the 500 has. It is all about personal preference.

Is it normal for it to be pretty Smokey during the first ride ? 23 te300

I just bought this bike last Monday 06-24-24. It’s an awesome bike. Uncorking it next week and should ride a whole lot better.

Be waiting patiently for the review as I’m considering this model for my next bike. I’m not at elevation so that won’t be an issue.

Fyi the gg race models come with those same cast clamps.

Can I make any adjustments to my tuning to make the throttle more progressive or should I just get a G2 Throttle Tamer?

Greasy string and a cat come to mind when I think of the 350 at elevation. XCF is fine though.

Hi Jeff there are rumours over here that KTM are going to stop production on there 2strokes from 2026 what do you think thanks

At ten hours mine failed bad, its thrice as bent as yours. That coupled with the chain adjustment marks being different from one side to the next, nearly destroyed my final drive in a handful of hours.

Stupid question, If you make a map with medium/high traction control and upload it to the bike do you still need to press the button on the handlebar for traction control?

Ill have to try this product 😎

Thank you for the video. Love hearing your 30 year thoughts on important and not so important things. And then the advice like Putting a new piston in an old hole…nothing to break in. Thanks again

Greg Billings is the best story on prostate cancer.

Can I use the motoz arena for dual sport use ..I have a 250 L

One day..the environmental marxists, will come after motorcycle tuners, like they did diesel tuners ie millions in fines & jail..🙄

Nice video Jeff. I work in aerospace and every multi-bearing joint, doesn't matter what its for (a control surface, a cargo door, landing gear, etc.), has one bearing location that acts as the anchor point. The other joints float to account for tolerances. On big assemblies, with lots of bearings (attach points), the tolerance stackup can be significant and cause binding as the mechanism travels through it's range. Exactly the same as the front forks/wheel. Two attach points, one is the anchor (the bake side because it's close to the rotor) the other is the floating to account for assembly buildup. Of course the "floating" side here gets clamped up after the free state position is determined but it's exactly the same concept.

Great informative video, really enjoyed watching this, expert advice mate 👌

Thanks Jeff! I’ve got fresh tires and Tubliss set up landing sometime this week from y’all. I had a old Pitbull stand that doesn’t fit any of my current bikes, I was going to order a tire balancer but I’ll just stop by the hardware store and spend 7 bucks on a steel tube to put in between the arms! Thanks for all you do.

I applaud you for making this video.

Still love dirt on 2 wheels at almost 54. Thank you Jeff for your support with this reminder.

If using a brush hone to clean it up, do you use a lubricant on it? Thanks, great vid

Bless you

stock maps?

I just put front and rear on my 2024 350XW-F

Well said.. Thank you

Hey Jeff, thanks for the knowledge and for taking care of yourself. Happy trails!

Lost my brother in law to prostate cancer. He was 54

Great video. Something we all need to do. Thank you sir for the reminder.👊

On the new enduro bikes with the XACT CC can you pull a preload spacer out of the fork to adjust preload? Great Vid thx!

Good review. I have ran many 81s. They are great tires, but they are puncture prone prone. The Midas EF07 or terror force are almost as good as the Michelin, but half the price.

Well done, Jeff, thanks for using your bully pulpit to get an important message out! Most of us dirt bikers like to think of ourselves as tough guys, many of us don't like to see doctors. My Dad was a Marine and a tough guy, didn't like doctors. Prostate cancer killed him. I don't think that needed to happen.

Well said Jeff. Thank you for all you do for our community. ✊🏽

thank you jeff , 67 and still riding 56 years now , had melanoma 3 years ago had surgery so far so good , just had colon checked good to go , prostate next , sucks getting old , just a reminder to everyone how important it is to maintain a healthy diet as well as regular check ups , a lot of cancer is caused by all the poison and toxins in are food and drinks .

@Slavensracing Jeff good to hear you open up and spread the word! I seen you at a local breakfast spot shortly after your accident and asked you what happened you clearly didn't want to discuss. I had to ask others what happened. Glad to hear you're mended up it was good to see you on the trail a couple weeks ago. Throttle therapy! Hope to C-Ya on the trails on the trails again soon!

Thanks Jeff for your concern.

is this near the end of jeff slavens?

Thanks for posting this personal video as it may save someone's life. Along with prostate cancer, colon cancer is an avoidable issue that affects more and more people. Fortunately there is a blood test for colon cancer now as the colonoscopy is a bit of an ordeal to go through. I lost my older brother at age 58 to colon cancer because he waited until he was Stage 4 to go in to see the doctor and he refused to have a colonoscopy and the blood test didn't exist back then. 62 here, finally retired from the corporate hamster stress wheel, and working as an independent consultant, healthy and at a good stage in life. I like this season in my life and want to live and ride as long as I can. 100% on annual physicals which include blood work. Just do it. Jeff is direct as he always is: "ya can't ride if your dead" 😂

I like Sx model better than all these and yes even for hard enduro clutch pops double blips etc. all the 24 250/300sx need is a cheap clutch weight + 13-52 sprockets and change the rear hoop to an 18inch. They fix most of Sticky issue with AER fork and just run that fork at 95psi for hard enduro stuff. If you are 175+ the stock rear spring is fine too just read the manual adjust shock to “comfort settings” if you are lighter then a 39-whatever WP spring will suit you nicely. I have tried both the xc and xc-w and still like the SX better the response is crispy and better.

Thanks for sharing Jeff, very important to get checked regularly.

Thanks Jeff, going today.

I've always been extremely fit and healthy for my 58 years of living and 54 years of riding. I've been off the dirtbike for 14 months and counting due to random and sudden major eye related issues, not cancer or injuries. Detached retina both eyes 6 months apart. Reality check that body parts can and do wear out. I'll be scheduling full health assessment. Thanks for the nudge.

Jeff, I'm 63 and am 3 months post-op from prostate surgery and can't wait to ride again! Cancer sucks but if a man had a choice, prostate cancer is the one to have. I had mine removed by Dr. Patel and it was easy and painless for the most part. Life is good!!

Amen Jeff! How many think it can’t happen to them? I did. Hiding my head in the sand didn’t stop my cancer. I hope folks heed the message, because each of us only has one life to live. Sorry for the clichés, but they are true for a reason.

Thanks Jeff !
