2023-24+ KTM 250/300 TBI TIPS & TRICKS

[@KincadePavich]

Sweet video. I'm gonna try loosening my chain.

[@micahnuckols5046]

I have a 2024 250 xc-w. I run my chain 55mm measuring behind the upper chain guide with a pro motion chain checker. The recommended is 55-58mm so maybe I need to loosen it. I know it squats under power. If it's too loose it slaps as I let off the throttle. That chain stretched a bunch at first then settled in at the second to last mark on the swing arm.

[@dougwelch6446]

Great video ! Absolutely been running my chain too tight, now I know enough to give her a lil slack ! I did notice with it tight it just would not settle in like my ole 17 ' would.

[@MT-zl3kl]

Good information! Short and easy explanation of what and why you should do a mod. Well done and thank you!

[@mark_Hershey]

Going through the squish deal now. Did a top end at 37hr trying to get rid of random bog on my 2023 300xc. The old gasket measured .58-.64, I went with a .62 and my bike is too tame, runs super clean and great but feels more like a 250. Power band seems shorter. Going to have to use the solder thing and see where squish is at. Plus when I put power valves back in I could not get it back to 48 mm, like 47 or 47mm was all though it’s an odd angle to measure. The fuel pump is was seems to have solved the random bog issue, old pump tested at 48psi and just didn’t seem strong. New pump is 50psi and hits it instantly. Plus ktm updated the new pump apparently, the new ones part number ends in 200, the old one ends in 100.

Finally, someone that knows his chit on these bikes. Yes, I've said the same things you have but not many people listen. Chain, has to be super loose! Great info, thank you! Didn't know about the squish but good to know.

[@ktmrider_45]

Only thing I didn't add was the tps reset but too many people are messing with the voltage and that actually hurts the bike worse because the stock tps voltage is how it comes set up for from the factory. Everyone is chasing this 4.00 VDC and it can still make it worse.

[@onthethrottle7104]

@@ktmrider_45 Good choice. I've left mine alone too, it runs great so no need to play with it. The bike has great response, no issues at all.

[@jangoreo]

Haven’t touched mine for 40 hours. Best bike I’ve ever owned.

[@coopkink]

Just picked up a 23 250xc, ill keep this stuff in mind if I have any issues. Thanks

[@SwormCycles]

Can you say where you picked up your wake up connector? I have a '23 TX300 and I need the red capped one like you have. Thanks

[@darrellmabry699]

Good info. Great video.

[@bullwinklebrown283]

Loving my 25 TX300 husky

[@99Yeti]

U got a good lookin bike

[@michaelledoux5261]

I bought a 2023 YZ250X n don't have any of these problems---juzz sayin.

[@kr9spy617]

Do you know anything about the ignition coil? I have a 24 250XC hit 10hrs. an has a code bike runs just doesn’t like idling sometimes

[@ktmrider_45]

I had that code too never replaced the ignition coil. Got a ktm rep to wipe the ecu and download the most recent software/maps and it went away. These bikes like to throw random nuisance codes. Next best thing you can do is buy a Two Stroke Performance mapping tool that you can clear codes and map the bike yourself.

[@ReelLyferOS]

I have brand new 24 250sx and it falls flat on top end 1st and second gear any idea why ?

[@ktmrider_45]

@ReelLyferOS no clue. Other than dirty/over-oiled filter starving it for air or if it's not throwing an FI code idk. Try replacing your fuel line filter and tank pick up filter, if the gas line has any dirt/debris in it, it can make the bike feel sluggish.

[@onthethrottle7104]

I forgot to ask, where did you buy your Nihio on off switches?

[@ktmrider_45]

Nihiloconcepts.com

[@onthethrottle7104]

@@ktmrider_45 Thanks ktmrider_45!

[@harveygrant8495]

What fuel tank are you running and pros and cons thanks

[@ktmrider_45]

IMS. No cons just holds more and can put a quickfill on top for harescrambles instead of a screw cap

[@BryanStatham]

What did you do with the map switch?

[@ktmrider_45]

Nothing map switch is fine. Pretty sure you can remove it completely because gasgas bikes don't come with them. It's the start switch that's junk.

[@BryanStatham]

@@ktmrider_45 I'll give it a try. Thank you.

[@CraigSteinman-zt3vu]

The best tip is too boycott ktm till they get their shit together..qaulity is a real issue !..for 13 or 14 grand for a dirt bike this kind of thing is unacceptable!
