Brand New 2024 TE300. I took it to Glass House Mountains for it's first ride.

[@lyellbro1]

I went from a four stroke to the 300 and haven’t stopped smiling since

[@simovision5894]

Nice one. I get what you mean. They are a dam good bike.

[@lindsaymcpherson4744]

Great video im just about ready to purchase my first bush bike ,and your video helped

[@simovision5894]

Mate hang in there a few more episodes to come. That was just my first ride getting used to it. I Have put a few more hrs on it now and it only gets better.

[@joeuno4399]

I had a 2016 husky 300 and sold it for a 250 ktm best decision i ever made that 5 kgs is a huge difference plus power is more usable great vid man 🇦🇺🤙

[@simovision5894]

@@joeuno4399 Yes the 250 reves out more. So Better for trails and mx. The 300 is better for hard enduro. Lugging up steep hills. And slower technical riding. I did concider the 250 but really wanted to cross train my Trials riding. Glad your loving the 250. As long as there is a smile on your face that's all that really matters 😁😁

[@joeuno4399]

@simovision5894 ive got supermotos on it ATM but it was beautiful in the trails and less gear changing due to it being a 5 speed

[@simovision5894]

@@joeuno4399 love the supermoto. Very cool. Just got to dodge cars.

[@michaelfila2796]

I made a similar switch to a 300tpi after riding 450s for 14yrs. I had similar reactions to yours and wondered if i made the right decision, however after a 20 hours i was loving it and after 50 hours i never want to go back

[@simovision5894]

Thats great. I have put 5 engine hrs on now. 2 rides and absolutely loving it. Getting a lot more feel for it thats for sure. Cheers 🍻

[@miro_s]

nice! did you have a 4T before? how do you compare them? I’m on the market for a new husky, totally undecided between 300 (never had one) or a usual 350 (possibly 450/500)

[@simovision5894]

Mate check out some other vids on my channel i have ridden a 350 for a few years now. Just thought i would give the 2 stroke a crack. But as for which one well that depends on the riding you want to do.

[@UTPP]

Interesting, I've just gone back to a 350 4 stroke. I'm keeping my Sherco for the rally hard stuff but for the most part the 350 is way easier and faster for general riding. The 2 stroke will feel like an arranged marriage for the first 10hrs.

[@simovision5894]

I love it (arranged marriage) that sums it up about right. And yes at this point ill keep the 350. Thinking mite take it across the desert.

[@retiredwaterdoctor]

What do you hear when you see the blue smoke.....the mad bees....I remember when they were all 2 strokes....miss that day. Great ride Simon...Garth

[@simovision5894]

Thanks mate. It gets better as the day went on.

[@HardPackedADV]

You're so close to the magic 1000 subs, so I decided to sub to get you that little bit closer.

[@simovision5894]

Thanks mate much appreciated 🤘

[@simovision5894]

Watched your desert crossing. That was very cool. How was the 2 strokes compared to the 4 strokes. crossing the dunes ?

[@rodneyphillips2633]

Can you ride at the glasshouse without rego plate and indicators?

[@simovision5894]

Legally probably not.. my bike is registered. Just had to wait for my paperwork to get processed. Also my click and ride indicators are on backorder. Should be sorted soon.

[@BreakTheAlgorithmYT]

Those still have the power valve switch? I road the 23 model and switching the power valve made it way more rideable in the slow stuff.

[@simovision5894]

The 2024 is TBI and very smooth power once you get used to it. The off pipe cruise is a bit jittery but you can smooth that out with a re map. If you want to spend the bucks.

[@BreakTheAlgorithmYT]

@@simovision5894 It doesnt come with 2 maps already?

[@simovision5894]

@@BreakTheAlgorithmYT yes mate white and green maps. Neather smooths out the mid range. Check out the IRC TYRE guy. Rich Larsen he did a vid on it. Called can i get the 300 to run better or somthing to the effect. Should see the difference.

[@ManBikeSwag]

Wow. have you had a 2 stroke before? I've ridden one once but never owned.

[@simovision5894]

Yes my trials bike is 2 stroke. And when i was much younger i rode a few 2 strokes. This machine is a bloddy awesome enduro bike.

[@mattmuir4388]

No rec reg ?

[@simovision5894]

We don't have rec registration in QLD that allows you to ride off road. My bike is registered. Just waiting for rego cert.

[@SteveHale-y8j]

Have had 3 of these bikes and wouldn’t get anything else. Ride up a gear and use the clutch more

[@simovision5894]

Thanks mate appreciate it. The more i ride it the more i love it.

[@Tomshuski350]

Where you and Steve at the kenilworth chook chase i saw a bike exactly like steves with the hand guards

No mate sadly we missed the chook chase. As we were both at a Trials training weekend.

@@simovision5894 also id recommend sending the suspension to mpe to be re-valved and set to your weight and you can get the ecu remapped for cheap there aswell

[@simovision5894]

Thanks Tom yes i deal with MPE. Good blokes. The 300 has the right spring and valves for my weight. Mite concider a remap if they can smooth out the cruise. Cheers 🍻

[@eureka1512]

I am definitely getting a thumb throttle. The traditional one is nonsense in offroad

[@simovision5894]

Did not know that was an option. Interesting 🤔

[@H3avyHaul3r]

G2 throttle tamer is probably the answer and or riding a gear higher than what you think…

[@simovision5894]

Thanks for the suggestion. Going out again tomorrow see how it goes

[@dalewyatt1321]

Great add for not buying one. The bad: stalls, suspension, brakes, throttle. The good: You didn't tell us. I will add I'm a 4 stroke fan. You would have romped that last rise on your trials bike.

[@simovision5894]

Thanks mate. It's just completely different to what I'm use to. ill get it sorted.

[@Ttnorth11]

2 stroke is for fit and skilled riders. Everyone else stick to a 4 stroke :P

[@simovision5894]

Ha ha thanks ill throw a few more hrs on it. Ill get it dialed. Im sure.

[@grantschelfhout1227]

@@Ttnorth11 Yep just like moto GP 😃

[@grantschelfhout1227]

Three hours to warm it up 🤦🏻‍♂️ the throttles too light 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@simovision5894]

Definitely a different bike to ride. Dont worry ill get it dialed in soon enough. Cheers 🍻

[@igotmoretoysthanyou]

you need the map switch! to dial it down a bit

[@simovision5894]

I tried the white map but the throttle response was to slow. When i actually needed it.
