Blows me away that the KTM group is the only manufacturers that can devise a reasonable air filter setup.

And all 3 KTM group bikes use a different airbox. Stupid but they had to have the KTM be the raciest.

Mind blowing that this brand new bike needs all this help. Kawasaki needs to get rid of their r&d team. I wanna say none of these are issues on older bikes. Not a single soul I know complained about pulling a seat to change an air filter. I’m starting to agree with Suzuki’s approach here (minus not having e-start)

Ive got a '22. As an older 50+ vet rider i like the earlier model. Hoping Kawi fixes some of these issues soon. Then maybe ill consider a new one. Im seeing them advertised around $6k which is a great buy. Thanks guys.

The low end mellow power may be fixed by removing the rubber lid under the battery and by using the rideology app. I recently tried a couple of maps and the improvements where noticeable.

I used to race a Suzuki RM 125, and the day before a big race, my bike blew up, but I was able to borrow a KX 125 from a friend. That bike handled like crap and I felt like I was sitting on top of a skyscraper. I couldn't get it to corner for the life of me, and the brakes were a joke. You couldn't pay me to ride one of these.
@OtisFlintАй бұрын
So let me get this straight, because your buddies poorly setup, 20+ year old kx125 was a POS, this 2024 KX450 must also be a POS...man, wait until you learn about 1990s KTMs .
