[@duken4evr]

Nice video! The bike runs crispy critter! My experience was the same with my '18 XC 300 - plug and play. The Lectron is stone simple and works great! Love mine. FYI on install, KTM made the rear intake boot stiff on the newer bikes. For those you have to remove the silencer and swing up the subframe a bit for clearance as the boot is not really bendable like the older ones. Lectron sends the carb with a see through hose. I reused my stock black hose as my experience has been that ethanol in our crummy corn gas tends to harden the clear fuel hoses even faster than the rubber ones.

[@Eaglefreek300]

I've got a 36mm on my 11 Husqvarna WR300. it didn't take much to dial it in and it runs fantastic. It has a smooth linear almost electric motor type feel. I tuned it at 900' elevation and rode in CO at 7,000+' and all I had to do is turn the power jet a 1/4 turn. the only issue I've had, is on two occasions when going through a mud puddle, the throttle stuck wide open. I had to remove the carb an remove the grit that got sucked in. I've never had the issue with a standard carb. Otherwise, it's worth every penny to me.

[@sethsc77]

I hadn't previously heard of this carb, but I'm definitely going to look into it now! Thanks for sharing!

[@DirtBikeChannel]

+seth christiansen Yeah, it's a great product and I've now spoken to the owners a few times. Really good guys at Lectron.

[@tdub8baseball]

+Dirt Bike Channel Really enjoying your videos. Keep them coming! I'd like to see one on bleeding brakes. Something I believe most of us neglect!

[@DirtBikeChannel]

+tdub8baseball That is a pretty good idea.

[@walterr4042]

Love your videos and respect your honest approach. I always get something positive out of your channel and it is greatly appreciated.... I can understand how difficult it is to communicate with a helmet on so I assume that's why you weren't wearing one on the test ride. I personally have two friends that have paid long and sever consequences for "no helmet test rides". I'd love to see you change this in the future.

[@Fz07Org]

Ha ha! I told you Kyle! Once you go Lectron, to heck with playing with Jets. Have you taken it to altitude yet? That's where it really shines. And, better MPG too! It's like having EFI for a fraction of the cost.

[@DirtBikeChannel]

+fz07.org Yes, I have taken it to about 9600 feet and it ran great.

[@jridenour31]

Your little test at the end has pretty much settled my internal debate between a 350xcf or 300xc for a do it all bike. That really shows just how much power and response the two stroke has off idle.

[@DirtBikeChannel]

+jridenour31 Yes, the 300 is pretty hard to beat for an "all around" bike.

[@erics5839]

You guys are top notch.... thanks for all your time and effort you put in. Your passion for the sport shows. I wish I would have stumbled across this review sooner... really going to consider calling Lectron now. My elevations vary enough that this would truly be magic.

[@DirtBikeChannel]

+Eric Sundquist Thanks for the support. I do love the sport. This lectron carb is pretty fantastic. I can ride from 3000 feet to 11000 feet without touching a thing. It's the closest thing to EFI on a 2 stroke there is.

[@SEOGuru-xk2mr]

Thanks for the great video, very helpful. I have a six days 300, at 5200 altitude (Denver). I have the same bogging problems and poor jetting that I am done fighting with. I am about to install this on my ride, I hope to get the same results.

Looking forward to get one of these for my 2017 300 XC-W, I'm in Utah also. Excellent install guide.

[@chandler1390]

I work at a KTM dealer and I normally just lossen the subframe and lift the air box off the carb that way, silencer bolts left in loose and I never have any drama caused by the boots. But to each their own, I'm just putting another perspective out there

[@scottmckenzie1162]

how does the throttle twist back with the lectron?. i just fitted mine and its only a quarter of a turn now

[@jayrife5949]

Thanks for he review of the carb, I think I'm going to go that way on my 300 days, I hate tuning for the summer and the winter and when I go out of state to ride.

+Jay Rife This should take all the pain out things once you get it installed.

[@Kenwindatt]

Ya I understand it, it's a pain wrenching on bike while riding. Keep up the good work with a review on this carb after a ride. Try to get your hands on a 250 free ride and review it. Looking at replacing my 300 with one in the near future.

[@shaneberkness2743]

I was really set on getting a KTM 350xcf one day but now I'm leaning towards the 300xc. The only thing I really like more about the the 350 over the 300 is that it sounds better to me since I've always been a 4 stroke guy.

[@DirtBikeChannel]

I have both of them right now. I always find myself opting for the 2 stroke when I know I'm going to ride tricky single track. Whoops and desert, I opt for the 350.

[@shaneberkness2743]

Thanks for the reply. There's not any good trails in my area so I'll be riding mostly dirt roads, some woods and trails but the only trail near me is pretty flat since it's a snowmobile trail in the winter. If I happened to take it out to a motocross track once in a while I'm thinking the 350 would be a better choice but I really don't have any experience with a 300 2 stroke and any 2 strokes really besides an 85.

MOG; May 12, 2018, Thumper: KTM 150 STIC, page 6: “.....top end goes into this insane scary feeling rev that builds power till you shut off, I don't know how high it can rev but it doesn't really flatten…..” “So I have had a super productive day, got the bike running so strong it's almost scary. For comparison my friend has an 18 SX250 with a vf4 and an FMF 2.1 silencer, he’s running the green PV spring. So the first session was the usual fast but didn't feel like the throttle is connected to the rear wheel at all, the power would come in uneven. Finally, I fitted my handmade tailpipe, I had a theory the STIC doesn't like back pressure, all shorties have small outlets like 22.5mm, and STD is 25.5 but long. So with the cut-down silencer and no other changes, I started it up, suddenly the engine barked by blipping the throttle, never had it do that, I was hopeful. On the track the engine came to life, the power was almost instant and way stronger on pickup, like 50% more, I asked my friend to ride it to see his opinion, he says the same, instant crazy power, it is honestly almost too much , the bottom and mid are just not like anything I have ever ridden, then the top goes into this insane scary feeling rev that builds power till you shut off , I don't know how high it can rev but it doesn't really flatten , I'm worried it might be lean but the plug had a bit of darkness to it, no detonation. I rode the 250sx and it felt powerful but less aggressive, it felt slower in some ways but has that big hp at low revs. I can't imagine a more powerful 150 and would not really want one, its3kg lighter than a YZ125 and most have around 10hp more at peak and about 15 hp more on part throttle.” thumpertalk.com/forums/topic/1260081-18-sx150-dyno-tuning-part-2-keihin-carb-and-stic-tests/?page=6

Alright so I have a 2012 250sx and I installed my lectron today and the fuel level was just like yours in this video. I didn't mess with it but just took it out for a test ride, I tried the low speed full throttle whacks like you did in this video and it bogged and the front wheel barely comes off the ground if at all. Is the float level being off causing this or am I running my bike to rich. I'm running 32:1 fully synthetic

[@nicholasbufano7684]

Just installed a lectron carb on my ‘03 cr250r. Not sure what’s wrong but the idle is ALL over the place. Nothing about it sounds normal. I give it gas and it bogs. Float bowl looks filled to the top and fuel doesn’t even look like it’s filling the fuel line. Followed the instructions. Free place is adjusted right. Haven’t touched the rod or pilot screw yet because it’s supposed to be pre-set. Hoping I get this figured out :(

[@jotacalvo]

Just tried to install my new Lectron on my 2009 200 XC but the carb is bigger and the boot folds over :-( I'm dying to try it, but now it looks like I've gotta do some shadetree fabricating and cutting. Heard of this problem?

I had never heard of these carbs until I saw your vids on them. Ordered a Lectron for my beta yesterday and can't wait to be done with jetting! I wonder why the bike manufacturers don't work with Lectron to build their bikes with Lectron instead of the mikuni and Keihin carbs. Other than maybe a very slight price increase I can't think of any downside. Can anyone else think of any advantage to the regular jetted carbs?

Did you look into the ADP Smart Carb before committing to this carb? The ADP carb is billet or cast, also never needs jetting and has NO float bowl. You should do a comparison on both carbs, that would be awesome. ADP claims your MPG will greatly increase as well.

[@HardEnduro8]

+Chad Cooper Didn't know you were so in love over a carb. My apologies over APT, error. My reference was to the float which has no external lines, we ALL know it has a float, but i was exclusively referring to NO overflow lines. They have had issues over delayed delivery dates, however people have raved over the product once they actually get it delivered and put it to use. So for you to promote one product over another, without EVER actually using the product your self is just naive. It would be great if someone actually had both carbs and put them on a dyno and finally did head to head comparison.

[@mattagostino5844]

I am really looking forward to your opinion on the Lectron. I have been trying to decide whether or not I want to continue with my JD jet kit or not. Problem for me is, my rides vary in elevation quite a bit, especially in some areas. An example would be we start at sea level, and end up at 6000ft. or we actually start at 4,000 feet and end up staying in that area, or climbing even higher to 8,000+ B.C. Canada has such insane elevation changes depending on where you decide to go that day that it makes jetting an absolute nightmare. This carb could be the ticket I suppose. I am not going to a 4 stroke to get FI!! lol

[@DirtBikeChannel]

+Matt Agostino In your situation, I'd highly reccomend this carb. They have it jetted for sea level and I took it all the way up to 9600 feet and it ran great.

Kyle, I installed the HV Lectron this weekend, and I am still having the same issue. The bike is an ‘18 250 XC-W, and I have been trying to get the bike to run clean throughout the RPM range. Between 0 to just over 1/8th the bike still burbles and still blows a ton of smoke. I’m running everything as per the manual, and can’t figure out the bottom end “burble” and the smoke. Before the Lectron, I ran the Mikuni with the JD kit (it ran OK, but still had the “burble”). New plug, new gas at 60:1, clean filter... I can’t figure it out, any suggestions, hints? I’m going nuts with this, help. BTW, I appreciate and use the vids you post, great job.

[@olderwiser2080]

Had to cut the airbox boot on my '16 300xcw (per Lectron), and factory routing on my cable is through the cylinder head brace. Needed one turn in on the idle screw for bike to start, then it was so rich it was billowing smoke. After 5 minutes of warm up/idle adjust, the fuel level rose, filled the entire float bowl and started it puking gas all over the floor. Nothing on this issue in their tuning guide. Had to leave after hours message..hope carb is OK, since the stock carb will no longer fit with the boot shortened.

+Older&Wiser Got a call back from Lectron when they opened Monday. Very Helpful and professional. I'm thinking once I get this this carb dialed, I'll be happy glad I bought it.

[@yotoboshi2545]

did you get it to work?

[@olderwiser2080]

I need to get the bike off-road, which hasn't happened with the rains in SE Texas, but it seems close riding gently on the pavement. I may yet have some fine tuning, but the overflow issue seems to have been fixed by squirting some WD40 into the gas inlet (per Lectron). The second "rib" on the air box outlet needed to be shaved off the outside circumference to allow good purchase for the clamp.

[@yotoboshi2545]

"about the same size" can you please put them both flat to see if indeed the lectron is longer? is so, by how much?

Hey, i don't know a lot about 2 strokes but i was just wondering if the newer ones have power bands like the old ones did? Also very nice video!

[@DirtBikeChannel]

+Rupert Mundy Every motor has a power band. 4 strokes and 2 strokes alike. Some are simply more noticeable than others.

[@rupertmundy6556]

Oh okay you learn something new every day. Thanks very much

How do i go about purchasing one of these carbs? For some reason the website provided only has the form for the bike

[@DirtBikeChannel]

Give them call, since their website isn't great. That is what I did. Tell them I sent you! www.lectronfuelsystems.com/contact_us.php

Thanks for the great video. Did you go with the 36 or a 38 on the Lectron?

[@DirtBikeChannel]

+Paul Brock This one is a 36 mm.

I haven't looked yet so I'll just ask if anyone knows off the top; does lectron have an application for a 2011 ktm 300xc? Great vid, by the way.

[@DirtBikeChannel]

+MuTe Yes, the 300 motor hasn't changed much in last half dozen years. Give them a call and the should be able to set you up.

[@mute7116]
