2022 KTM 450SXF TESTED - Motocross Action Magazine

#motocross #dirtbike #racing #outdoors
Motocross Action tests the 2022 KTM 450SXF at Glen Helen Raceway. For 2022 the bike comes with 2 new items on the list. One is a small update to the engine department and the other is cosmetics. An orange frame leads us to believe that a new bike is on its way in 2023. Check out what Josh Mosiman and the rest of the MXA wrecking crew thought of the 2022 KTM 450SXF on their first ride. We give you some tips in the video that could help if you have a GASGAS, KTM, or Husqvarna.

I really enjoy how detail these videos are. Please keep on gracing us with good content!

Great content as always. Thank for upload

My Go To place for accurate information. Thank you Josh and MXA wrecking crew!!!

Great test Josh and good mix of content and tips.

[@bagargui]

Thanks for the good video. Are you going to do the same thing with the new Honda 450.

[@Tob108]

I like the blue look of the new KTM but not the orange frame. Always a fan of black one.

[@marcusbarnes5929]

I hope for 2023 cosmetically they change the rear of the seat and make it flush with rear mud guard . Like the kx

[@chrisvillarreal2752]

I don’t think I’ve ever had a bolt come loose on my bike… torques the spokes maybe once or twice and haven’t touched them since and have maybe 30 hours of no adjustments needed on any of the bolts. Except the engine Mount bolts were slightly out of torque spec but not loose by any means.

Thanks for the review! I just picked up a 21! I have about 2 hours on it and I noticed that the engine valve train is a bit noisy. Is that something that is common on these 450’s? Thanks

What’s the name of the extension for the fork pump I saw there at the 10:06-10:07 mark? That looks handy.

[@michaeld3230]

Works connection no loss adapter. Just got mine Thursday and it’s much easier to attach to the fork valve.

[@Drewski423]

@@michaeld3230 awesome dude thanks. I’m gonna have to get one of those. I ride a lot of single track/ hard enduro on a 300xc tpi. Had my suspension revalved and shit for the discipline, and kept them air. With full wrap handguards it really makes it a tight squeeze to get my pump on.

[@LuigiTheMetal64]

Today's Kawasakis, Hondas, and Suzukis would have to be modified with a two-stroke engine and pipe. Even then, that can cost money. May have to find a perviously owned, and used one from the 90s cheap.

[@RedRider820]

Just curious, how come you guys always state the dry weight for the KTM's? I realize that the bike is still the lightest, but it doesn't weigh 223 lbs full of fluids. It's closer to 230 lbs...

They full of 💩💩

[@_AndromedaGalaxy_]

i dont get it, how does steel braided brake lines improve braking? ive heard this a lot but no explanation why.

[@TheKillgore521]

When conventional rubber brake lines get hot and you apply brake pressure the pressure from the brake fluid actually expands the brake lines a little bit. So you're losing a little pressure in the brake line where you would ideally want all the pressure on the back of the braking piston in the caliper. Steel braided lines tend to be a little more resistant against this expanding issue. So yes braided lines are a little better. Here in the EU we aren't even allowed to put them on our cars 🙈 don´t ask me why
