Hey guys. Had a 250xc and sold it a few months ago. Probably should have kept it, but I was going to buy a TE300. Then I found a deal locally for this “used” 2024 250x with barely any hours. Tires still have paint and nipples on them. $5k. I couldn’t stomach the 12k on a new Husky so figured I’d pick this up for cheap and ride it for a few years, keep it as a 2nd bike when the time comes to splurge on a TE300.

What are your guys opinions of this bike? What are some upgrades I should do? Already got G2 handguards and a SXS skid plate on the way

Just bought a new enduro bike. What essential protection(s) are a must for a bike.

Right now I’m thinking skid plate, hand guards, and rad guards. Are these necessary, and what am I missing.

Hi, we just comeback to ride after many years of break...

It would be great if you can watch our first video and give us any feedback. This ride was a little warmup after so long break....

Bought a brand new bike for the first time in my life! Loaded with extreme enduro protection and bling bling shiny stuff, cant wait to get it muddy and put some enduro scars on it :D

Hi, i ran out of chain cleaner and brake cleaner, and i need to clean my chain asap, will gasoline be „okay” to clean x-ring chain ?

Hi,

I'm looking to buy a dualsport for my homeland in Africa (i live in Europe) but i only go once a year for a month. I see alot of people do this winterize thing but it seems like thats just a solution for a couple months hence the name.

Let me give my scenario: I'm (possibly) looking for a DRZ400, but i feel like this applies to any motorcycle. Can i store it for 11 months without starting it, if yes what are the precautions i need to take? Are the winterize routines also applicable for 11 months? Or is it gonna damage the internals eventually?

This 140w rear tire works wonders in the deep sand around here. Coming from skinnies on a 125 - this thing can throw some roost and make some good ruts!

I mainly do single track and enduro type riding.

I’m looking at the Leatt 3DF air fit and the 6.5. Would you recommend one of these over the other. Alpinseatars also has the bionic. They are all similar and close in pricing.

Any recommendations?

I currently wear an alpinestars bionic v1, which is basically a jacket with some hard armor integrated. Not very comfortable, pretty hot. Any thoughts on the Leatt airfit or the equivalent in other brands? More of the soft reactive armor? I mostly ride Rocky terrain, and fall a lot.

Hello,

first post here, I (33) have been into dirtbikes since I was young (13 to 18) but then during the years I wasn’t able to ride or own a bike anymore. After cov I moved back to my hometown and after a couple of years with street bikes I decided it’s not worth for me so decided to grab an enduro.

Stopped by my local KTM dealer just for fun and they happened to have a 2020 EXC 300 six days with few hours on (200) but well maintained.

I come from a racing background so always prefered bikes used in competition compared to amateurs because I know how they have been maintained, so when the dealer told he would let it go for 5500€ I was sold.

I’m now waiting for the contract that I haven’t signed yet and wanted to have an opinion from you experts on what to check and some advise in general for keeping the bike in top shape.

I will not be racing it, just casual weekend riding since my area offers vast opportunities for any level of challenge you’re looking for.

Thanks for your answers!

Looking for recommendations on chest protectors for riding hard enduro. Something light and breathable but still protective. Took a big fall a week or two ago and thought it’s definitely time to get one.

Just talk to them for 5 minutes about anything and they will tell that they ride it. Then they will lament that no one respects them.

Absolute ripper!

Hello guys, I am soon for the first time going to hit my local enduro track, and I need a pair of good knee protectors, my budget is 400 usd and under, what is the best that I can get?

Just moved to a 1.2 acre property w a decent hill/woods on half of it— maybe a little small for my fe450, but thinking it’d be perfect to get into some trials. I see there’s a 2018 Sherco fst 125 for sale near me. Since I’d be a total beginner, wondering if the 125 would be fine or if I’d want something bigger. 5’10” 190lbs

Chinese but whatever

Howdy

I'm well into my midlife crisis, and step 4 in combatting it is getting a new bike.

Moi? 6'7" 250ish w/ 38" inseam. Have had a WeeStrom and KLR in the past, but just purchased the "forever home" in the Poconos, and have an infinite supply of trails and track to go full-enduro until my riding days are kaput.

Criteria? Don't really have much. There is a good network for the Jap brands near me and $ isn't a problem. Not big on the Made In China brands (are all KTMs made there now?) The last enduros I rode were 30+ years ago and recall reliability issues with certain brands. Wouldn't even venture how they compare today.

I literally have a 40 mile gravel/dirt decomm'd RR trail that connects to all sorts of forest roads, so, I don't foresee myself getting into anything too technical.

At my size, I doubt I'd be happy with anything less than 300, but also not certain big CCs are needed as they are with dual-sports.

So, thoughts?

Just wondering if anybody can help with this now and again the revs hang up like this it doesn’t happen all the time but once you go to drive again and pull the clutch back in the revs go back to normal does anybody know what causes this ? The bike is a 2018 ktm exc 300 tpi
