Riding single track dirt bike trails at Walker Valley in the PNW. Fi Failure at 104.5hrs on my 2023 TX 300 TBI

It's cool seeing videos from the local spots. Keep it up.

[@DaWafflenator27]

Thanks for the video!! Really thinking of grabbing the KTM version real soon.

[@rx2ride259]

104 hours already on a 23... NICE! Get mine on Friday. Pretty excited to see the difference between it and my outgoing 22 TE300i.

Congrats, I bet you will be smiling ear to ear the first time you hit that powerband or try to climb a big hill or obstacle with a short run up. Enjoy!

[@charlesswiger2260]

I got mine in December and love it 😀

[@mikeburnett6222]

So what was the outcome?

[@user-se7vt5ow4e]

Had a’17 KTM300 absolutely bulletproof. The new KTM’s just have too many glitches I will probably buy a Rieju or a Beta next.

[@pnwdirtridersbrianlynn8112]

Totally understand. For perspective though. I have over 230hrs on TBI bikes with 1 Fi issue. Not too big of a deal for the amazing performance these new bikes offer. Maybe you have ridden a TBI already but if not…I would recommend the XC or TX models to try out before buying the Rieju or Beta.

[@petergruenwoldt5394]

Bummer that happened. I had a question, for pnw trail riding. What bark busters do you recommend? Thank you in advance🙏

[@pnwdirtridersbrianlynn8112]

I like Cycra for closed in protection. Lots of good options out there and it depends on your preferences.

[@randonsoderstrom3647]

I just put some cycra wrap around on my beta last week. I'd recommend.

That camera angle is amazing; is it mounted to you front number plate?

[@pnwdirtridersbrianlynn8112]

It is mounted to the triple clamp

Is it a go pro? And what setting are you using?

What ended up being the issue’

[@ReeceTasker]

did you try resetting it while out on the trail? easy to do and only takes a few seconds

[@pnwdirtridersbrianlynn8112]

No, I didn’t get a red dongle when I purchased the bike. Long story…but I ordered one in November and it’s still backordered until April. All good though. Took it in today and got it all fixed up. 4 unknown codes, they did a flash update, engine control unit and still had one unknown code. Turned out it was the exhaust control actuator error. Dirt got into the connection and once it was cleaned and plugged back in the error code was gone. Ready to go!

[@ReeceTasker]

@@pnwdirtridersbrianlynn8112 just hit the start button but dont start the bike, like tap it then 3 full twists of the throttle should reset the codes. Don't need a dongle

[@pnwdirtridersbrianlynn8112]

[@themotocrossmodchannelWulfMX]

@@ReeceTasker Can you confirm this is the same with all 23' TBI bikes? 125/250/300?

@@pnwdirtridersbrianlynn8112 can you please post the part number of the dongle connector and what does it plug into? A OBD scanner? thx-

How man miles do you get out of a tank of gas?

[@pnwdirtridersbrianlynn8112]

Depends on the terrain I am riding but 60-65 plus is reliable for single track mountain riding.

[@marcmorelli3536]

That’s great. Thanks. Pretty sure I’m selling my 250xc for this beauty! Btw your vids are great. I lived jn PNW for 4 years and the riding was awesome

[@BigCDawg785]

Do you ever find that the bike needs a fan?

[@pnwdirtridersbrianlynn8112]

it has overheated 2 times in 105hrs so I have not added one yet. I think the new gearing helps avoid excessive clutch play.

[@tinman-le5kh]

@@pnwdirtridersbrianlynn8112 Did it just boil over? What coolant were you using?

[@pnwdirtridersbrianlynn8112]

Did you ever find out what the code was?

[@pnwdirtridersbrianlynn8112]

I explained it in the snow ice video I just posted in the description.

[@mikebarger3563]

It'll be interesting to hear what the problem was...

[@pnwdirtridersbrianlynn8112]

Me too. Thinking it is fuel injection related because the Fi light is solid and not flashing.

[@raydornbush]

That sucks.... Just goes to show tpi or tbi doesn't matter you can have failures.

[@onthethrottle7104]

And carbs can fail, too. He made it back to the truck easily so the vid is kind of click bait. It was an update needed not a failure.

[@alang3991]

Have you ever fouled a spark plug?

[@pnwdirtridersbrianlynn8112]

No, 105 plus hours and no issues.

[@taylormoore5897]

@@pnwdirtridersbrianlynn8112 Diddo! i also havent fouled a plug on my 23' TX

[@tylermoore3024]

Is the 23 tx shorter than the ktm xc? The moto bike is supposed to be 1”+\- shorter
