Watching your slow technical riding puts my mind at ease, just picked up a 2022 tx300i with tsp power kit. So the medium comp head, injector relocation and tune and at low rpm the thing sounds like a rattley old diesel tractor I thought it had a knock but was told to not worry about it they just sound like that but yours in the low rpm and idle sounds pretty much just like mine such an odd thing to get use to coming from only newer 4 strokes and newest 2 stroke was a 09 300xcw was putting sounding but not quite the mechanic rattle knocky sound these seem to have

Hey mate. I like the way the 450 makes power over the 500 and how it effects the handling characteristics of the bike in a positive way. The 500 is a grunty engine which is amazing for high speed desert type applications but I found when trying to turn the bike at speed in ruts leaning over the engine would always try and stand the bike upright fighting me in the corner. The 450 does not do that anywhere near as bad. It also has an engine that is much more willing to rev more but still has good grunt/torque if you wanted to ride lazier and just use the power instead of needing to search the rev range to find the best power like on smaller displacements. Best of both worlds in my opinion. Especially if you get the ecu tuned to add some more fuel where needed as all these bikes are lean standard these days. I love this bike even more now that I have done that. Just clocked 103hrs and still going strong as👌

No, I am very happy with the power of the 450. The 250 is fun in the right conditions where you can stretch its legs and get it reving, but in the riding I am doing mostly, the 450 grunt works better. I am a lazy rider so the torque of the 450 works well. It also is happy to idle around in the tight stuff without getting hot and stalling too much.👍

@6:12 not my idea of a fun ride ! lol I bought a new 21 FE350 thinking that they wouldn't be much less power than the FX/FC350's, boy was l wrong (that was with a Vortex and FMF ti slip on) !! I would have eaten it on my 99 125SX. Happy to say that l now have the bike that l should have got in the 1st place.... 22 FE501 got the Vortex remapped for it and the FMF is the same size so that was a bonus. There is next to no weight difference between the 2 bikes. It's everywhere on the internet that an ECU and exhaust transforms the 350 like it's night and day, while there were gains but it wasn't like people said. The 501 on the other hand really came alive with those mods. Coming from a MX background l expected more. If you want a bike that lifts the front wheel without the use of the clutch and putting your weight right back Don't buy a FE350.. Lower gearing would help for sure but they run out of steam on fire roads.. sorry about my rant..... I just don't want anyone to make the same mistake that l did...

Have owned multiple 500s though and loved them and have 22 300 tpi as second bike.

I have ridden the 21 husky Fe 450 and 350 back to back. Both are much more planted to the ground than the 2 strokes. It mainly comes down to how you like to ride. If you love revving and running in the higher revs, the 350 is the pick, it also feels/rides a bit lighter than the 450. If you are a bit lazier with your gear changes and like a bit more grunt/torque, then the 450 is the go. it feels and rides a slight bit more heavier but is that bit more planted at speed also. Both are great bikes and you can't go wrong with either in my opinion.👍
