A lot of great info! Super cool how the bike came out.

[@rickreis2286]

You guys kill it !!! Such good info keep it up please good day sir

[@rcarle]

Greatest bike ever made and Jay just made it better!

[@buddywilson104]

Nice! Especially since it has my racing number on it!

[@chestertownelectric6290]

It would be interesting to see one set up for 208 octane leaded C12 race gas. This fuel can handle way higher compression and adds huge power.

[@chestertownelectric6290]

It’s a good idea to get a Twin Air fuel tank sock filter so no dirt hets in the tank.

[@Jaysrippen]

Good info!! Think the XC/SX have different cly with diff porting then the XCW's aswell.

[@tmlpony]

Damn,i wish i lived near you guys..

[@colechristensen25]

Hey Jay the port timing is different on xc and xcw. Cylinders aren’t identical. One of the reasons xc has more power but xcw has better lug. This bike mod sounds like a good middle ground.

[@AverageBikeGuy]

The head is different but the cylinder heights are different … this gives the sxf the revs and top end power

[@williamcrotts7054]

The xc and xcw cylinders are different, not to mention the ECU differences. More compression means more heat, without ecu changes sounds like a great way to blow up your XCW.

[@mikewest7585]

Rad Vest Jay. Who makes that? I have a question for the podcast. Should I email that in? Thanks!

[@rcarle]

Yes email is best and he always responds pretty quickly.

[@vwsandvettes3253]

I like that the manuals are online, but I still have to have my paper copy handy. This because its no fun having to carry my desktop or laptop pc back and forth to the garage lol.

[@TWITCH772]

name of the trails at the end? Im from AZ but want to come visit

[@BraaapoholicBob]

Guys, I love this video! I just picked up my 2024 KTM XC-W and to me it has plenty of power but I guess why not! Also, I printed out the manual double-sided and have it in a notebook in my garage so I referred to it all the time with index tabs for things like torque specs, etc. Question: why would KTM put that step in the dome to prevent you from swapping it out easily? I’m just curious. Also it looks like you have an FMF Shorty silencer on the bike. I would think the preference would be to go for the longer turbine core so you don’t lose low, end, torque and power. I’m just curious why you made that decision. Thank you!

[@Scummy_shovel]

I do that also. I’m old school. I miss the days of hard paper shop manuals. I still order them when available for any bikes I own. To be honest I think every bike/machine sold should just come standard with a paper back service manual. But manufacturers really don’t like guys working on there stuff anymore.

[@Cd55650]

Jay, Were you able to get a red or green sticker on the 2024? I want one but I’m scared to buy one with coming changes to sticker program in CA. I have a 2020 right now so I’m locked in luckily

[@jrockstubed]

Most get an out of state plate...

[@coltonk2011]

Can u do this to a 07

[@twisteddevelopmentracing]

Leaving the stock map In the white position of the handlebar switch really gives the best of both worlds. When you want to get some hit the green button 🤘🏻

[@onthethrottle7104]

I'm guessing you mean after your special tune is involved, correct? Not by using the new head and a stock tune...but rather using your tune along with the new head and using the map switch.

[@twisteddevelopmentracing]

Yes the true magic of this motorcycle is how it can be ridden in greasy and terrible conditions. We chose to respect the best parts of the stock motorcycle in the white map and build a fun more mx style map in the green map option

[@rcarle]

@@twisteddevelopmentracing You do such great work. I’m excited to ride this bike!

[@onthethrottle7104]

@@twisteddevelopmentracing Got it! I'll check out your information, I hear tons of great stuff about you guys. Thanks so much for the information. You're describing exactly how these bikes should be set up, white map for regular trail ride and gnarly hard enduro stuff and green map for long gnarly straight hills and other great times that deserve WOT!

[@artsteale3443]

Instead of XC head I would go to Kesley at RK tech and get him to make me a pump gas compatable head.

[@eriknash8783]

I want to know how you’re trail riding a ‘24 Two Stroke in California and planning to build another for yourself? I’ve been wanting to add a modern 300 to my garage but if I can’t get a plate or a sticker, I’m hosed in Cali.

[@dirtbiketv1]

Sounds like quitter talk 😂Email me for answers.

[@jrockstubed]

Plate different state. Ez Many free states don't ask about residency and all that. Guys out there thatprovide this service.

[@Tacoloto-YOYO]

Just found out KTM is owned by Baja 300 Austrian technicians laid off what the heck is going on? We are told by actual KTM technician they would not touch a KTM anymore with your 10-ft pole KTMs 300 are blowing cylinders off or 2024 Husqvarna was leaking oil so bad out of the shift seal they replaced it twice now. Is this true? Please tell what you know about this

[@husaislander4838]

Why wouldnt you just buy an XC

[@ybaha1995]

The most common answer will be that you don't want the rear suspension linkage. Other than that, some people, for a variety of reasons, will start off with an XC-W and then eventually want more performance.

[@bambam7070]

As someone with a tx300 I think now I would have gone te300 and done the dome. So I could easily have the power for a light off the bat and the heavier flywheel for the extra lug. It would’ve been closer to the 450 I came off.

[@aaronphillips2728]

Xc doesn't have stator

[@3BrothersExtreme]

Another great video! Cool option to make a great bike even better!
