Insane How Good This Bike Runs Now! - KTM 250XC

[@coyotef150surfer7]

Love the mix of drone and 1st person views! Only a handful of trail riders giving quality content on the Tube, and this is the best of em 🤙🏼

[@DirtBikeChannel]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@BSm2919]

You don't know (might actually know) how much I live through your videos. Between work and family my bike has sat way too much in the garage this summer. If I can't get the real thing I can at least live a bit through your videos!

[@moonzy11]

Trails look amazing. I threw a coober ECU in my 22' 300xc...you wouldn't believe the difference in throttle response and power redistribution throughout the rev range....game changer

[@obi-wan7067]

One of your better videos with views, IMO. Would like to see a little bit more of the drone footage mixed in and less POV, but still overall really cool!

[@Rieju300]

$6k suspension upgrade?! Like half the cost of the bike? Something is seriously wrong with WP if it requires a $6k upgrade, no? Does it feel like you got your money’s worth in all seriousness? Seems excessive. Great photography and scenery by the way.

[@psyxx_]

Suspension is all expensive. The price of a set of used forks and the rear shock setup for an A class rider can be anywhere from 5k to 12k

[@Offroadmayhem21]

I think suspension is only necessary when you’re at the A-pro level. I see no reason why he needs 6k in suspension to do trail riding lmao

[@newenglandrides576]

This is why I got a 2022 Beta 300 instead of the new KTM I was planning on getting. WP is trash. Sad because the rest of the bike is sick.

[@dirtrider2234]

Unless you’ve ran a set of a-kit suspension set up for you, you have no idea

[@TheTacticalHouse]

I spent $4k at Mx tech. Huge difference buddy. Huge. Yes it’s worth it

[@lancelee1598]

Really digging the blue and orange color scheme you have going on this bike. Also, thanks for leaving that gate as you found it! Can have negative consequences leaving one open or closing one that was meant to stay open.

[@DADSGETNDOWN]

Born and raised in California, that's not Desert. That's good old Mountain Trails.

[@wildadventuresnz536]

What drone are you using

[@tylerberry2476]

Right on ride !!! The trail looks amazing!!! And your drone video is so cool. !! Thanks for sharing this with us !!! 👍👍😎

[@DirtBikeChannel]

Thanks 👍

[@MP-wc2wh]

Great video Kyle; enjoyed watching your ride. I have been hearing about that suspension change; looking forward to review by of it. Keep up the great channel.

[@prestonthomas9406]

The drone shots are so much better to me, at least I’m not getting sea sick when your constantly showing video on the bike. Good stuff IMHO.

[@theautopage]

Drone shots are amazing! Crazy how it follows so good!

[@matthewdipadua3463]

I'd like to see a comparison review of a TM 300 EN. . I'd be curious of your thoughts compared to the KTM. TMs are a class of their own, and even know they are hard to acquire due to dealership locations, they stand alone on top.

[@Briank-ef5iq]

I’m picking up a 2022 250xc next weekend I can’t wait !!

[@Dat_Sun]

Get a in-line fuel pressure gauge, record the running/riding pressure so you have it for future troubleshooting. There is a fuel pump upgrade that I consider essential, replaces the china fuel pump with a high quality one.

[@Briank-ef5iq]

@@Dat_Sun why ? There a lot of issues with this bike?

[@Briank-ef5iq]

I been riding a 2015 250xc never had any problems just matinence

[@Dat_Sun]

@@Briank-ef5iq I had a horrible experience with my new husky 22 TPI bike. @ 15hrs of gentle use, a ccp censor failed, @17hrs, Chinese fuel pump failed (about the time the fuel tank fades to an fugly yellow). Also at 17hrs the kickstand return spring lever sheared off (well know design problem), lost the hardware and buggered up threads required kickstand replacement. 2nd failure of ccp sensor @20hrs, plus the silencer was soaked in oil for some unknown reason, I took a 5k loss (wouldn't sell for 6k locally, most potential buyers commentedon ktm/husky quality problems) so I traded it in on a new Yamaha. Made a few videos on it, grandby homesteading.

[@Briank-ef5iq]

@@Dat_Sun I got 19 hours on my 22 250xc bikes been flawless so far idles perfect no flat spots , I just let it warm up 7-10 min at idle then rip it

[@darinvanderpol3351]

I'm really hoping for a full review of the Cone Valve forks and Trax shock. Very interested in what you think about them.

[@marco21falcon]

What the drone you use?

[@jaspermiller7769]

Your drone footage is awesome!

[@sundaymorningrides9142]

Might be giving the 250xc a shot for my next bike or add to my garage as a second toy 22" 250xcw. Toss up between that or the 350xcf. Xcw is sick for the hard enduros, want to get something better for the hare scrambles. Although the XCW is pretty sick everywhere. Is that the pre-mix 2023 you're on? Or that not come yet?

[@Briank-ef5iq]

My opinion 250xc best bike out there !

[@YT1344]

Geeeezzz this is well-edited drone and helmet views cinematography! amazing video

[@texlee84]

@dirtbikechannel, How do you like the Acerbis LED headlight and how do you think it compares to the offerings from Baja Designs?

[@dmitriys3983]

Looks fantastic. What trail is it ?

[@aridlifestyles]

Dood, what model drone are you using? My Mavic Pro is shit compared to your drones tracking speed and accuracy. Great content BTW, I like how you don't edit out when you make certain adjustments, IE drone shots. Thanks again!

[@RUSTY-A-L]

That is some awesome trails Kyle I am so jealous! Do you ever get lost?

[@paulwanray1056]

It's brand new of course it should run good.. my wr runs perfect as well

[@aaronmcelhinney1436]

Interested to hear your take on the cone valves & traxx. Also, which year did the air forks get plusher?

[@bryanroberts]

Right on! Great footage and riding!

[@painsrides]

Funny, here in New England in one of the areas we ride there is about 200yrds of open space like you have... lol

[@ItBeVonBee]

I’ve heard a lot about the 250 being better than the 300 m. How so? What do you think?

[@marco21falcon]

My question.... is why couldn't they keep oil injection?

[@Dat_Sun]

It was troublesome. The pump requires regular testing and replacement. The feed line was exposed and easily damaged.

[@marco21falcon]

@@Dat_Sun see I have the 23 250 xcw. It has proven to be super reliable. And these doesn't seem to be anything exposed

[@duality65]

Congratulations on 300k subscribers

[@luketomas6138]

What adjustments have you made to the suspension? I find mine too feel a little too light or loose in the tight stuff

[@carlatamanczyk3891]

I do the same thing Kyle... Rain in the mountains pushes me out on the desert too.

[@DirtBikeChannel]

Last week the mountains were too we for me to ride. I got soaked and didn't want that to happen again.

[@carlatamanczyk3891]

@@DirtBikeChannel One time 3 of us including Destry Abbott's ISDE riding partner Ken Koslik were on the trails in the Stansbury Front area and a rain storm hit us to no end. Not fun...

Does the 250 lug as well as the 300?

[@greghart6310]

[@waikaboi4233]

Hey guys, I wanted to know if an 2023 ktm 250 sx 2 stroke bike be able to turn it into a trail bike? If so how or what can I do?

[@GahBoe]

6k upgrade? Think an average person would better off with the 300xcw?

[@dundeal79]

I’m new to riding and picked up a 2023 GASGAS EC 300, is it similar to this bike and is it good for CO single track? Love the channel sub and liked

[@northerntoyota7584]

Basically an xc-w Ktm. So perfect for single track. Or I gues husky TE as it has linkage.

[@railduke68]

Is there forward compatibility with your upgraded suspension to the new 23 xc frame/platform? I would guess yes on the forks but no on the shock.

[@newenglandrides576]

You got it, forks are the same, shock platform is completely new though.

[@zackfrick4163]

Are you going to give that bike away with that suspension set up?

[@joecoruzzi3494]

Hey bud, when I win your bike you should come to the east coast for a weekend and ride with me. You’re officially invited, and beers at my local brewery after.

[@stevenstanton5034]

I’m dreaming about how sweet it would be to ride single track trails on one of those modern 2 stroke bikes! I’ve been riding wr250r dual sport, it’s been getting me out exploring riding trails falling in love with riding. But I see a 2 stroke in my future.

[@seller2001]

I made the switch from wr250r to a ktm 250xcw, and no regrets here, I'm able to ride a lot more tight technical woods.

[@stevenstanton5034]

@@seller2001 that’s what I’m after! Riding more tight technical trails on a 2 stroke seems like the good life.

[@snowyman42]

What!! A desert with rain???

[@rossmckenzie544]

As always, great vid Kyle! I’ve got a ‘22 Erzberg w/ 12 hrs on it and still runs like crud. Bogs out pretty bad until mid 3rd gear or so. What is the best fix to resolve this issue? Thanks Brapp!

[@mikeh423]

Perform the oil pump priming sequence. I think it may also perform a CCPS calibration at the same time. Helped A ton on my bike. Could have been a fluke, but it is free! If that doesn’t fix it look up the TPS rigging procedure and do it.

[@mattgraham349]

Check/adjust your power valve setting. Easy thing to try for a solution.

[@ardelius0198]

Someone help me with carb tuning please. I watched one of those videos about how to adjust the air screw to get throttle responsiveness. Now it revs out the best and the revs drop down to idle well just like they said is the best on those jetting videos. Now i noticed i definitely lost power on the low end. Did i gain anything on top end? I dont notice anything on top end so idk. Why are they saying you should do this to get a chrispy throttle response on neutral if it has less power under load??

[@mkramsauer]

That looks like a ton of fun keep it up 👊

[@justinl55]

Nice job as always Kyle! Are you still using the proshot mount on your helmet?

[@DirtBikeChannel]

Actually I'm mostly use SoPro mounts these days.

[@justinl55]

@@DirtBikeChannel Ok thanks! I ordered the proshot from the link on your website and just received it. I’ll give it a try!

[@onthethrottle7104]

When you ride the bike so wound up (wing ding ding) at such high RPM, you're tightening that suspension. Try riding another gear higher and use the clutch to romp when needed. The suspension will be so much more compliant.

[@Mark-mq1cc]

Give us your impression on that suspension just incase I win the lotto!

[@jeremyfernandez7237]
