Are these like the 500exc that can go forever with proper oil changes/maintenance, or not as robust or long lasting type motor?
@code4performance2 күн бұрын
I've got nearly 4k miles on mine with only regular maintenance and valve adjustment/checks with zero issues. The 350 engine in the EXC platform is a bit different internally as compared to an SX version. Stainless valves vs. Titanium valves for one. If taken care of, it should give many miles of fun! Thank you for watching and commenting.

I see what you did but I really don’t understand your logic. Why wouldn’t you guys be carrying extra Tubliss Inner Bladders for both the front and rear? Yeah, you made a hack and made it out but destroyed a perfectly good rim lock in the process. Doesn’t make sense.
@code4performance3 күн бұрын
Good point taken and we certainly could have taken extra bladders. But what if you have a failure of the red liner? You would need to have tube to replace the entire system. We planned ahead in the event a total failure occurred. We used what we packed and it worked great and I would do it again. Appreciate your comment in the meantime.

Thank you for reaching out!. We could have camped off the bike but elected not to for the exact reason you ask about. Wanted to keep it as light as possible and still be rideable like a dirt bike when the going gets tough. Check out Mosko Moto luggage, they have some killer bags and top pouches. Giant Loop also has a possibles pouch you can lash on the top of the bags. There are some super lightweight sleeping bags, tents and mattress pads out there that would be very packable. For water, I would carry a filtration kit and filter the water you need and then Jet Boil stove with the Mtn. House backpacking foods. IMHO is all! Thank you again for commenting.

I am experienced with ultra-lightweight bikepacking gear, and am now working through the tradeoffs of volume/weight and where/how to carry on the 500 platform. The Mosko Reckless 40 & 80 are great options even if some minor weight penalty for round-the-world quality. Also a big fan of Jetboil + Mtn House.

How does the power input go into that fuse box from the Taco relay kit?
@code4performanceАй бұрын
Thanks for reaching out. The outlet power and ground from the Taco relay has one wire for the ground which I extended near the relay creating three small gauge (20 or 18 gauge) wires for each accessory device. I did the same for the power into the fuse block. I used a butt connector designed for one end accepting a larger wire and then heat shrink protected the non insulated connector. You can find these connectors at some auto parts store, or I get mine from Waytek wire. Here is a link to the connector www.waytekwire.com/catalog/terminals/butt-connectors/external-step-down-butt-connector-38246 Hope this helps!

When you went with Samco, did you do the thermostat delete? The Samco clamps are so wide that I found it impossible to get the recommended 10mm hose extension. What did you do?
@code4performance2 ай бұрын
Yes, I did the delete. It will run too cool if you are riding in a cooler climate, so watch your temps to you run the engine at the temp where the ECU keeps the fueling correct. In hot climates or summer riding, it is no problem. The Samco clamps are wide and if you try and get 10 mm of hose protrusion, it will never work. Just make sure the clamps are square and you have the hoses seated fully on the outlet nipples. Make sure the clamp top edge is below the bulge of the outlet nipple. Samco hoses are a great upgrade for sure, well worth the money. Thank you for watching and replying.

Best choice I made, maybe was good to have rode the 500 for 1.5 years first stock to get used to it. With the ECU mod now, I can hardly wait to get on the bike, it's like it keeps feeling new to me, that's what's so compelling about that upgrade. Should mention I did the billet end cap with silencer plug. I didn't get an fmf cuz the stock pipe with cap is more rugged for adv stuff I do.

Looks like enough room for another headlight between the chainsaw base and the fender. On a trip, how much extra chainsaw fuel and bar oil do you carry?
@code4performance3 ай бұрын
I’ve seen guys mount a slim LED bar under the saw mount, so it can be done. As far as fuel and bar oil goes, I think it depends on your intentions for the ride and time of year. If it’s early season and you’re only going out for a day ride to “clear trail” and you have intel on a lot of downfall, then I’ll pack a backpack with a qt bottle of fuel and a quart of bar oil. Better yet make it a team effort and have buddies with saws:). If I’m going later in the season and likely not needing to use the saw frequently, I’ll carry a syringe marked in CC’s and I’ve come up with the amount needed of 2T oil and inject it into the saw tank and then siphon out of the bikes fuel tank. I then carry a small bottle of bar oil equivalent to the size or close to the saws bar oil tank. Long explanation I know. Thank you for commenting

That is a great question and well thought out. The Beta has very similar characteristics as the TPi bike, but much more torque imo. Because of the torque and snappy feel of the Beta, it seemed like it equated to less weight feel. Hope this makes sense. If you could ride a TPi and a Beta back to back you would understand. The TPi is really good for sure and can be ridden all day long and not wear you out as it has such a linear powerband as compared. Thank you for watching and commenting.
