KTM 500 EXC-F 2018 First Ride | Power is the key!

KTM 500 EXC - When I asked KTM if I could borrow an enduro bike the conversation went along the lines of "Well what do you want, 250, 350, 450 or..... The 500?" Well what would you have said?
The Enduro Noob returns for the Winter and this time he's on some serious hardware!! :-)

This has been my dream bike for several years and I finally got to ride it last month. It was literally unbelievable. I couldn't believe that a bike like it could even exist. Compared to my WR426 sumo it was a rocket.

[@AdventureMotoEnduro]

lol , it hammers alright , i had 3 of them . rip it and grip it ,!

[@Britishshooter]

I know quite a few Yanks who change oil every 1200 to 1500 miles and have more than 12,000 miles without a piston change. Valves hardly ever actually need adjustment so a much m,ore practical bike than you might think.Buying one myself very soon to replace a 690 ER. Same power but at least 80 pounds lighter, what is not to love about that?

[@streettriplesstoney5534]

I got one for myself for Christmas, God I love it. The power is great, they ride is great, and of road it's incredibly.

[@LambChopRides]

Its great isnt it, my favorite Enduro currently!

[@adibop1]

I have 67 hours on mine and I've done 1 service never checked the valves. I'm doing it different on this one as my other bikes I've done the services on time and under. I want to see if it gets to 200 hours with very basic 3 services and strip the engine to see how that's impacted on the engine compared to the my well serviced bikes.

[@bradwylie9732]

Lay the bike to left on the ground letting the fuel move down to the bottom left hand side of tank and stand it up and ride off. Fuel tank is designed lower on the left then right to give you that little bit more fuel for moments like this.

[@dahveed284]

You covered the important information - the service interval is way too short for this bike to be used for me as a dual sport. That's an oil change and valve adjustment every other day. No thanks. Good review.

[@Britishshooter]

dahveed284 See my comments above.

[@Dirtpoorhomesteader]

What camera are you using?! The picture quality is exceptional!

[@TorsoMan7]

just bought one of these today, love it!

[@br4d350]

How much

[@a64738]

My 2019 KTM 500 EXC F sounds a lot more aggressive, loud and snappy then this when you give it more throttle. But on that all restrictions in the air intake and exhaust have been removed and that made a huge difference (ECU was already programmed for that). The 500 is a beast and it feels a lot more powerful then my old Yamaha WR450 while power comes on more controllable and it feels more light and have better breaks. It is scary powerful and I love it :)

[@nicholstop8161]

Rondo Cat I rode my neighbors and that thing power wheelied so hard. He popped a wheelie and ripped past me on a gravel road while I was almost maxed out at 75 on my crf250l. That bike is insane and super loud

[@ryangraham6756]

How is it on the pavement?

[@libertyliberty4371]

After how many moto/h or km need change oil and check valves ??

[@curtismaynard1508]

Same thing happened to me twice on my 2017 KTM the exceed 500, when the gas light comes on it’s basically empty😳 Great video, have fun on your new bike.

[@user-vk8yq8oq7p]

We can’t because the grass is pretty much always wet and there are walls absolutely everywhere

[@jacksullivan8844]

[@corbindanylycha5246]

[@yerokaasregor]

There’s loads of places to “off-road” in the uk but like the guy said above, there’s literally walls/fences everywhere lol I wish I still had my bike so I could post decent videos off-roading where I am😩

[@mxracingunlimitedltd7784]

Why are there so many walls or fences? Lol. What about just open untouched forest with trails going thru it? Or not really close by to most?

[@6Twisted]

I was sold until you mentioned the service every 15 hours. Wish someone would make something as light as this designed to daily.

[@ogasi1798]

but a service is a bottle of oil and 20 mins of your time - it is nothing and in fairness the intervals rated are for hardcore riding - you can easily double them with ZERO worry, my sxf 450 as an example gets a service every 10 rides and that might be 35-45 hours, it is 100% and i have had it since 2013... 🙂

[@a64738]

62HP !! ... :) The Yamaha WR450 I used to have had 42hp and bottom end torque that was scary at times when going offroad and it did power wheelies in 1, 2 and 3rd gear with supermotard road tires on. Think when I get a new dirtbike I will get the KTM 500, it has same weight as the 50CCM moped I had when I was 16 lol.

[@Exata1337]

pretty sure he was fumbling with the numbers when he said that. AFAIK the 500 excs usually have about 45-48 hp or so, which seem to be closer to just above 50 hp when you fix the mapping and airflow on it from what ive read. the only lightweight SM bike i know of that pulls 60+ hp numbers is the Aprilia SXV 550 (which ppl claim actually pulls 70(!) hp, in addition to weighing less than the exc?)

[@MrStr8den]

Was that Alan Partridge i heard @ 5:47

The 500 is a beast and it feels a lot more powerful then my old Yamaha WR450 while power comes on more controllable and it feels more light and have better breaks. It is scary powerful and I love it :) Bought the 2019 KTM 500 after test driving the 2 stroke 2017 KTM 300. The 300 was very nice with no vibrations but it had very little power compared to my old Yamaha WR450 and I could not make the 300 do any power wheelies... It has become apparent I am a torque power junky so I did go for the 500 even if it is pretty much way to much power for me :)

[@LambChopRides]

same here, I bought the 6 days 500 EXC in the end for the same reasons :-)

[@MotardSteve]

Curious what you think compared to your 701, obviously the 500 is the better off-road bike, but if you had Sumo tires how would you describe the two? I almost bought a 17 501/500 before deciding the 701 was a better fit for my personal riding style(long rides,dual sporting, commuting.)

[@LambChopRides]

+MotardSteve yeah it's tough... by the time you get a smaller rear sprocket I don't think speed wise will be much in it... 500 is lighter of course but it's not as powerful as the 701, I think as a road sumo 701 makes more sense 👍

[@MotardSteve]

Lamb Chop Rides Yeah that's why I went with it. Thanks for the reply. Pretty much said the same thing I did when deciding to buy mine.

[@tompearce6752]

You should try the husky 450 or ktm 450 6 days. They have the same power but weigh even less! You also get the map switch, which can turn the traction control on/off. Side note - I ran my 450 out of fuel just after attending a bike meet and leaving spiritedly. The fuel light means you basically have no fuel left lol!

[@kimbercolt95]

tom pearce my tuned 17 excf 450 six days is a beast. Crazy power. And yeah the light comes on when your basically out of fuel.

[@TheRealKalEll]

5:58 "what have I done!! Why am I doing it!? Why do I keep doing it?!? What have I done AGAIN!?! WHAT DO I STILL CONTINUE TO DO!!!!!! LOL

[@jackz7083]

Debating on getting the 500 exc-f or 350 exc-f but I’m concerned I’m going to be making a bad choice. I want to go on the road regularly so the 500 might be better but on the dirt I feel like it would be too much, the 350 would be better on dirt for me, but I don’t know if it’s going to be enough to ride on the street.

[@LambChopRides]

The 500 is a pussy cat lower down the rev range if need be. Very smooth power delivery. I now have a 500 as a supermoto build. If you check out the off-road test of the bike you will see it's very easy to ride off-road 👍

[@langzikesch25]

Jack Z what did you end up getting? I have a 500 and it is a tame beast, the power is there when you want to use it. The thing I love about my 500 is you just point it up a hill, pick a gear, and just go!

[@ryangraham6756]

Hey guys, can anyone comment on how well the 500exc bike does on the pavement? Ill most likely be riding 65/35 road/dirt. Is the 500exc a good option? Thanks

[@38ronz]

Tell me what bush you chuck your bikes in 😂😂

[@AdventureMotoEnduro]

did it have a tire left on it after the test run lol , harhar funny , gotta love the kato 500

[@CycleCruza]

Nice! How are the vibes on this bike?

[@LambChopRides]

Hardly any vibes CC, I would buy this over the 701 next time 👍

[@CycleCruza]

Thanks LCR! I put in a BYOB order for a 2018 beta 300rr 2 stroke with plans on using it as a supermoto and dirt bike. Some people say the vibes are bad on the 300rr on street but I figure Flexx bars can help with that. However, I'm also throwing around the idea of getting a 18' 500 EXC but the 15 hr valve adjustments turn me off but most people say it's fairly easy and the valves are usually always in spec. What I like about the 300rr 2 stroke is it's simple maintenance, oil injection (no mixing oil and fuel), just an easy top end every 150 hrs, that 2 stroke hit of power, unique sound and super lightweight bike. What do you think? The 2 stroke will not be used for the highway but local roads and backroads. Thanks for the reply! I appreciate it.

[@LambChopRides]

I borrowed the ktm 250 tpi, I have a review on the channel. It's an incredible bike and so light. Even though curb weight isn't that different between the 500 exc and 250 tpi the two stroke feels so much lighter as engine rotating mass is so much less so changes direction quicker. But your right so many people told me forget the 15 hour vavle check on the 500 it's allways in spec just change the oil and check valves every 6 months. I think the job is pretty quick too.. it's seriously tough call between the tpi and 500 fours, two strokes do sound lovely though and probably thier days are numbered as they will never be able to meet emissions law in a few years so buy one while you can I recon 😎😎

[@sheepdog819]

CycleCruza I was looking at this as well bro but damn!! The 15hr maintenance killed it. I wish we could get this power in the WR with the WR250R schedule. Is it really that hard for the manufacturers to come through on that? Need that fuel injection too where I'll be traveling. Cali coast to the Sequioas in one day without re-jetting..

[@mxracingunlimitedltd7784]

@@sheepdog819 Id rather have it in like a 2015 Honda CRF250X Aluminum Frame..

[@Rob-kt1lg]

[@a64738]

Service on the 2019 is 150 hours for valve inspection not 15 when not racing (if I remember correctly, but it is for sure not that often)... Service intervals on the KTM 500 at leas on the 2019 is not that close according to what it say in manual, mostly only oil changes that is done often :) If you are not riding hard at high revs valves usually do not need adjusting for a long time.

[@LambChopRides]

In my service book (2017 model) valve check every 30 hours and oil change every 15 hours. Ive done one valve inspection and nothing had moved, its very quick to do anyway so no biggy

[@SadHippieMane]

You should ride the 2018 300 next! Nice video 👍🏼

[@LambChopRides]

Already planned :-)

[@richardwalmsley7579]

Phew, I thought it's going to be a long vid if we had to watch you push for 5 miles. Great vid. Is the 690 a wheelie monster?

[@LambChopRides]

+Richard Walmsley thanks Matey, my 701 was a wheelie monster with power commander. They are standard but need some clutch to get the best wheelies out of them

[@cutting2]

😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 Awesome as always chops 😉😉👏👏👏👏

[@Jake_Hynds]

The way that he is riding this bike there is no need for such short intervals for maintenance. Change the oil before it starts to look black and ride the shit out a it my wr250f has 50 hour intervals for valve checks it now has 13000 kms on it and only one valve adjustment since brand new as long as it starts and idles fine then valves are prly still good

Gotta aim the bike, high center of gravity and stay in the powerband. Let the back tire follow the front. Trust your equipment. Offroad in a snap

[@realtruths2291]

Having ridden motorcross most of my life I decided three months ago to do my bike test, once I passed I decided to buy a ktm smc 690 supermoto and love every minute of it however it's useless off road, I don't think there is a happy medium when it comes to on/off road U just have to decide what ur going to be riding more, just glad I kept the motorcross bike 👍

[@LambChopRides]

Your are correct, people used to say take the 701 offroad get some different wheels. I would say nah its too heavy, after taking this 500 greenlaning sunday I,m loving how capable it is offroad, very impressive bike

[@EricMoto]

I agree. I had a 690 Enduro and 500 EXC. The Enduro is pretty damned capable, but it's no 500. If the 500 falls upside down in a ditch, just pick it up and keep going. The 690's extra ~70lb and lack of a handhold is a problem.

[@carlosandleon]

Pistol wip Danger get a 19" front wheel and some 50 50 tires then you have a mediocre offroader and an ok road bike.

[@paulbudford]

Quite a few of my friends sold their sports bikes a few years ago, as they were too dangerous on the road. They brought dirt bikes instead........didn't work out so well!

[@dr.doeslittle4957]

Hows the power difference between that and your old 701? I hears the 5 actually had more power to weight ratio. Thinking about build a sumo over buy a sumo

[@LambChopRides]

+dr. Doeslittle yeah that's an interesting one as if you consider the 500 is geared much lower than the 701.. my old 701 with the power commander felt almost as quick as was geared for 115 mph! The 500 would probably do 90... but it's how light and nimble the 500 feels compared to the 701 which feels like a super sport bike in comparison. But yes out and out performance and power feel maybe not a huge amount in it..

[@chazboner1593]

I've never ridden a 500 but I have a '17 smc-r with the stage 1 kit on it, holy shit it's fast and loud. It's probably the best handling bike I've ever ridden, sticks in the corners like shit on a blanket

[@dr.doeslittle4957]

Chaz Boner thats the ktm. Ive been looking at the 701. Whats the difference do you know? I have heard the 701 has fine differences like the tank size. Im not even sure if the smc (r) is still in production in the us...

[@LambChopRides]

+dr. Doeslittle it's the exact same engine on the 2016 701 and 690. There are suttle differences, the 2017 701 has the new duke 690 engine and that does make more power..

beachsoap its exc-f

[@a64738]

62 HP according to www.enduroworld.co.za/2016/07/02/2017-ktm-exc-xc-w-first-impressions/ . Why do they hide thees numbers? After 30 min of googling I finally found a link to the data in a youtube comment section. Was impossible to find weigh and HP data anywhere the only numbers I care about, I do not need to or want to know bore / stroke and all kinds of fine data about the engine like that...

5:56 - it took me couple seconds to understand, that he is going down the hill. :D

[@tjlovesrachel]

Traction control?... I have that same bike.... I live in the states though.... so maybe that’s a euro thing

[@Twistedmetallic]

Only six days have TC

[@lancekaravitis1488]

There’s two types of spec. - US and EURO/AUS - emissions and specs changed for the two models.

[@10babiscar]

ktm claims 63hp at the crank but it's nowhere near that, dyno runs i've seen put it in the high 40s stock. Low 50s can be achieved with the 450 sxf exhaust, a minor airbox mod and a fuel injection tune (JD jetting efi tuner).

[@bananadude139]

10babiscar not really a stock husqvarna fe 450 has 53ponies stock with slight modification on the 500 ypu can get around 57-59ponies

[@lobotomyy]

jurcek 000 in austria its illegal to lie about technical datas. Socthe 63hp is true

[@dougie1325]

Chops you do get yourself into some mad situations, which is great for our viewing pleasure. It could be worse you could be riding a GSXR down a green lane and dropping it in the deep muddy puddles. Who would do such a thing!

[@LambChopRides]

+Dougie haha yeah at least it's the right bike for it! 😂😂

[@longkeithdiablo8812]

Power is nothing without.......... fuel! Lol 👍

[@LambChopRides]

+longkeith diablo haha too true!

[@chrisporter8829]

Does the bike has a key to it

[@a64738]

Only key is for the steering lock.

[@Brenkeeno]

Mate have go

[@mworld]

Don't be fooled by the 106kg figure. It's 109kg without fuel for the 2019 as per the KTM website.

[@qcenduroredneck9370]

thats still 239lbs what else to be a good off-road oriented dual-sport.... (thats legal from the factory) can't plate a wr450 here in Québec.. Crf450L is like 289pound for 38,2hp

[@Itzak15]

I just got a husqvarna 501 :O Can't wait to run out of petrol in the middle of nowhere me too

[@AdventureMotoEnduro]

happen to me on my first ride ,had to push 5 miles ,then i got a 19 liter tank harhar 375klm range now 016 ktm 500

[@ZhanepoMotoVlog]

Good 👍👍👍👍

[@phillipadams5931]

This could be a new series, just borrow a different bike every month and ride around until you're out of petrol, great fun had by all!

[@mikestewart7322]

Wow chops, I want one. Now. That is awesome. Work better with petrol though, lol.🏍😂😂

[@LambChopRides]

+Mike Stewart yeah it's rather special indeed.. I'm seriously wanting one too now 😍😍

[@TheRealKalEll]

High maintainance bikes usually mean cashgrab $$$$$ think low Honda civic verses high performance Ferrari.

[@michaelj.kastner5165]

I wanna be your neighbor!!! We would shred dirt/ pavement everywhere,everyday!!!!!

[@udubidub]

that's Jammie

[@StayPuft80]

Only Chops can run out of petrol on a bike with a see through petrol tank ha

[@LambChopRides]

+Lee Howling haha well when you put it like that 😂😂

[@MatNewtonTrio]

I think I'd be safer on a SuperDuke. I'd just want to take my it off and see how far I could push it.. 😂 Straight to A&E

[@erwin4501]

Haaaaaaa nice one !!!!

[@ianmangham4570]

Sounds like clutch slipping

[@SJ-gz2hd]

Wow chopsy I know this is an old video but damn that sweet bike has attracted all the foreigners and bombarded your channel with some shitty comments. Ignore the trolls they're not your real fans. So what you aint going balls out on a borrowed 500 4stroke ! Main thing is you're having fun and that's what it's all about.

[@ilmarikanerva237]

stock exhaust?? sounds so lame
