Soft terrain direction is now available in Part 2: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2esm2yGhrR-gKs I prefer the hard direction forward, with the paddle as the brake. I navigate steep hills made of clay, silt, and sand, and rocks. Being able to descend with precision control is highly desirable.

The only reason the AT 81 is chunking the knobs, is because production on them stopped a while back, because they were introducing the replacement for them. There is a date code on one side of the tire. It is pretty small, but it will have an X 0816 . The X followed by the month and year of production. I love the AT 81 for Southern California Desert. But l have gotten an old one, and it only lasted 6 hours with 14 knobs chunked off. Get tires made within the year, it really makes a difference ! The New AT 82 in no way as good as the tire it replaced. I have tried 12 different tires at least twice, to make sure, and the AT 81 gets the best overall traction everywhere, except sand washes when knob height wears down.

@podpocalypse9817 16 күн бұрын
I appreciate the explanation, and the stock AT81 is indeed mid-2022 (purchased in Feb '24). However, I am now left with more questions about its build quality if it can't last 1 year in an air-conditioned building, and as to why they would choose that kind of rollout strategy.

Running the crossbite on my 450exc in northern Nevada and I hate it! Sketchy, unpredictable no matter what pressure I run it at. Ive settled on 12 psi but its just not confidence inspiring. Its getting replaced with a Bridgestone X31, based on many recommendations. Recently mounted Emex T45's on my sons XR100 and he was almost instantly a better and more confident rider. He's only 13 but i value his opinion, he's a pretty talented and aggressive rider and so far he loves the grip the T45's are giving him.

If you love slow technical terrain then the TE will be awesome. It does have a different power delivery, though. A bit tame compared to the previous generation; a lot of people re-gear them by adding a tooth or two to the rear sprocket.

Unscrew your red idle adjust screw and apply some grease or anti seize to the threads. It should make it screw in easier and possibly go further to raise the idle. Also be sure your TPS value is set at .40v with both red and yellow knobs unscrewed all the way to where they don’t affect the reading.

@actionhero1232

I wouldn’t attribute the stalling to the flywheel wheel weight, the added inertia will keep the motor going so more weight will equal less stalling on roots, rocks and technical. Same with starting off. Most people can’t discern the added weight for acceleration. Motocross riders use it often but don’t tell anyone. Another product that works amazing for taming fire breathing bikes is the G2 throttle cam. It smooths out your riding and really helps during a long 3-4 hr race when fatigue sets in.

@podpocalypse9817
@podpocalypse9817 2 ай бұрын
Great question. For parts of Warner, especially the east side and Sand Hallow, it will be amazing. You're right that the bike can be a handful in slower technical sections. If you switch to the white map (the slow bro mode), it changes it quite a bit and becomes more manageable. The forks are better than the previous gen, but still stiff for hard edges.
@onthethrottle7104

With the TX you might get the flame out feeling but not with the TE or XCW...those bikes grunt like crazy and never want to stall. The TX can be tuned in a super cool way, where the white map can be the exact (actually better) than stock TE and then your green map even better than the ripper the TX is now. TSP is the company I would go with or Jamie at Twisted is super good with the tunes as well. Excellent video with good info for sure!

Hi bud just bought the same bike last week coming off a te250i. Your initial video had me 2nd guessing with the explosiveness of the engine. Fitted a grey throttle cam I had laying around (suggestion from a comment) and the power delivery is totally manageable. Was in some slower speed stuff today and I need a little bit more responsiveness so going to try the black. Noticed you have the oem fitted white which is the most responsive. Maybe lift the idle a little if you have a problem stalling these things lug so low. Really don’t feel a need to add more rotating weight.
@podpocalypse9817
@podpocalypse9817 2 ай бұрын
I had attempted to mess with the idle but either the dealer or factory had it maxed out already (suspicious). Tried both reducing and keeping it maxed but still stall occasionally going downhill with full clutch and brake tapping. Final mod (okay, maybe not final) will probably be a mapping kit, which I think might help since it feels rich at 1/4 throttle. As for the added weight, it was mostly for the under 5mph super technical riding; the slow down was a side benefit since I recently broke more bones 😅

I loved my 23 TX300 TBI in the woods and hard Enduro setting. Imo the added power made it easier to ride because it just didn't take nearly as much throttle input to make things happen rock gardens, waterfalls, single track and hills. That's all we do and I got through the technical stuff much easier than I did with my 2020 and 22 tpi. Was considering trying a TE Pro because I missed oil injection and want a bigger stator and lights. But I'd have to get a head and tune on the TE

So agree with you but will also let you know that the tpi did come with a more aggressive black throttle cam that you could input into the throttle. This changed the bike completely and made it more snappy. I have a 2020 xcw and feels like it has more than enough power in technical and flowy.
