I found this video thinking “that’s really close to me, gonna rip through that” only to find that this walker valley is in Cali, not NY😭
Can you have a copy of that product Matrix that people can print up put in here somewhere. Super helpful review. Also, same experience with the M5B. Piled my bike into side of the hill in slick wet terrain. Bad wreck! Pulled that thing off the next day with only a few hours riding on the tire. I have a couple of months until rain so plan on using it again now until rainy season.
What riding zone is this? Looks so fun
Ridge trail?
Thanks for explaining the difference between the VX30 and VX40. I've been on the 40 for awhile and want to try 30 for reasons you mentioned (mud).
I live in Bellingham area, I'd love to know where thats at at ride with you someday
It's the only legit trail in your county... ;)
Lookout?
for?
What about the shinko 505?
👎
I just installed the medium head + ERM and the bike is super fun now. Throttle response is outstanding and the bike had a snappy + playful feel to it that makes me want to ride more. Definitely worth it for me.
Great to hear! It’s a must-do on these bikes.
i just got a 2023 ktm 150 exc tpi there so good
Where did you get the tuner
RMATV. But have since sold it and gone with the TSP ERM from Southbay Moto
where is this trail? would like to ride it
Looks fantastic and hard....
You guys are studs - solid riding. Thanks for posting
Nice riding! What trail is that?
Other than one of the last climbs out there is nothing really that hard on this trail. I never understood it's reputation. Now ride it in reverse, that's gnarly.
There’s always that one guy who says “that’s not hard I could ride that in my sleep on a trail 90”. Whatever bro. It’s not a trail I’d take beginners or even some intermediate riders on. It’s remote, and has multiple spots where someone can go downhill into a valley with difficult climbs out in either direction. People have been stranded there before.
Now I know where the 2 Beta boys were stuck and why they took so long! 😂 I sat at the top of the hill climb and waited for a good 20 minutes before they showed up at the bottom! Great times that day and another great video!
Haha yeah they got slowed down by the trench. Good stuff!
God last time I was out there nothing but downed trees. We must have cut 10 trees out of there in a mile and a half. Probably my fault for going a little early in the season. 😂
Why is the JD Jetting Tuner still blinking on your frame in the video if is tuned with the TSP ERM. Did you just set everything to 3 so it was stock?
Yes. I’ve since removed it.
@@WASemiHardEndurohave you since put any of their head inserts into the bike? I'm still on the fence. The bike makes plenty of power at WOT, but definitely has a gurgling rich condition at low throttle inputs.
@@christopherhennessy3517 I didn’t do a head, I didn’t think it needed it.
looks insane!
Nice work! That's a tough trail. Last time I rode it I got vertigo in that open meadow bench cut section right at the beginning. That suuuucked!
I can see that - it’s wide open and quite a drop down that hillside!
I can see why its a fave...pretty amazing trail!
Nice riding! You're always so good at finding traction in the gnar!
Thanks man, looking forward to riding w you again!
Your camera is awesome. What is it? Its hard to pick up the mountains in the distance like that sometimes. That trail looked sketchy when you passed that other group.
Hero 12 for all the pov footage, +iphone14 for a few stills
Great video. I’m heading up to Washington soon to ride. Love it up there. Just beautiful
24 TE250 rider .. ERM is a fantastic device and the TSP map is great along with their head dome insert. I found a lot of my crappy running stock bike symptoms came from terrible quality control and I encourage anyone with a new TBI to just go through checking your Cylinder deck height ( adjustable by selecting the correct thickness base gasket(s) and the mechanical adjustment for power valve height! both of mine were WAY off from the factory and I chased so much other stuff first before finding this. My power valve was over 1/8" too closed!! Correcting these two areas made a HUGE difference in the way the bike runs. The "mechanics" at most KTM dealers aren't even going to consider these two very important specs.. . I love my ERM and I've been able to super dial in the TSP map to run even better for my circumstances.. Shame on KTM !! They don't give one poop about quality control or even making good on their errors...
Great review, thanks for posting! I swapped the OEM AT81F on my KTM 300 XC-W when it was due, for a Bridgestone M59. Have about 40 hours on it so far, and am loving it. Any thoughts on the new AT82F?
I've been wanting to try the new AT82 front, especially in 90/100, but for $110 I lean towards another VX30 for $68
Remember, the pros also can run a brand new tire every week, and definitely every race. I'm always amazed that I show up with what I would consider well worn tires, but other guys will show up on basically racing slicks not knowing just how much they're missing out on
I ride mostly east coast woods with an occasional day at the MX track. Pretty much trail riding like slow harescramble-ish pace. I’m on a 24 TX300 and looking to replace the stock AT81 in the near future. I’m torn on what to get to fit the bill. Was looking at the irc vx30 & vx40.
VE33S would probably work really well for east coast woods, and still be ok enough at the track. I really like the VX30 front for just about everything.
Nice 👍
WTF was that, Michelin Enduro, Metzeler Extreme 6 days, Mitas these tyres pro are using. and yes Michelin Enduro medium is the best all around. Nonsense video.
In the US, FIM tires with their arbitrary knob height restrictions aren’t very popular. This video isn’t for pros - they already know what tire they want to run. It’s for regular riders who sometimes ride hard stuff and want a good high performance tire.
TSP system is the best of both worlds and absolutely PERFECT!
@3:46 Those logs almost kill me 🤣
Do you let the clutch all the way out then pull it back in?
I just go based on feel. It’s constant modulation of the clutch, so sometimes all the way out, all the way in, and everything in between.
I added TWENTY ONE total ounces as an experiment (initially 9oz clutch on the clutch... Subtle change... then added an additional 12oz flywheel) just to see what would happen and if I needed to remove the clutch weight. SURPRISED it is Nirvana 😊. Similar to my Honda 300 Cota Trials, its lugging capability is awesome but still with the sporty snap of this renown 2t 300. Easy to be playful dancing the front wheel off roots etc like my trials bike but now more controlled propulsion on my 2023 TE300i. In short, absolutely love this set up in the gnar as well as open trails (and you know I love the technical gnar and Hill climbs). I NEVER would have tried this simple combo but I stumbled into the experiment fully expecting it would dog the throttle response. Nope... Nirvana 😊
I thought the TBI models already come with a flywheel weight...I believe my new '24 300 xc-w does?
The XCW does have a heavier flywheel than the XC. But it’s not a weight, it’s just the flywheel itself. You can add a weight to either one.
@@WASemiHardEnduro ok gotcha
I’ve been wanting to try one on my new 24 TE300, thanks for the video, I’m also in SW Wa just south of Mt St Helens
I had an 8oz on my '20 TPI and loved it. As you said, it was subtle but where you noticed it was where it counted. I think the biggest problem is folks think more is better and end up with too heavy a FWW which can zap power and make the bike harder to spool up the rev's. I'm a fan for sure.
Agreed. I had a 9oz on my TPI and liked it a lot. 12oz seems like too much. The 7oz on this bike seems like the sweet spot!
Have you tried the latest K map from TSP?
Not yet. I didn't care for the J map so I went back to the I map (with my own tweaks).
Love that Clake. I have one on my '17 300XCW. I like to practice getting the whole bike straight up, both feet on the ground and then turn the bike around for really tight spots we get in here in AZ with the tight ditches we get in.
The Clake is my favorite bike mod I've ever done.
gotta have a big bore XR-500 pinned
I have 2022 ktm 250 exc tpi and Im thinking of buying this kit. Would you recommend it?
Not really no. I took mine off and just did a reflash.
@@WASemiHardEnduro what made you take it out? Did you have major problems with it?
Where can I find out more about this type of race? It looks really fun and a cross between hardish-enduro and trials. How long is the course and what are the rules?
This might be the only one of its kind that I’ve heard of. I wish there were more!. It’s a regular poker run, but you can do these “special tests” at 3 stops around the course. Poker run course is about 20mi long I think.
I like my jx8
got the tsp for my 23 tx300 a couple of months ago and cannot believe the difference! That splutter just off idle was shitting me to tears
Good to know this. I've been watching videos of this bike wondering right away, wtf is wrong with the way it sounds at partial throttle. It sounded too lean to me but most people are saying it's too rich, stock? I dunno. But it sounded immediately noticeably weird.
Hey got a 2023 XC love the bike, what time did you go for and what did you notice other than getting rid of the stutter
what kind of mount for your phone on the bike?
Perfect Squeeze by Hondo Garage use “SemiHardEnduro” for a discount!
I'd actually prefer this vs Belfair round rock and dust. Can't stand riding on rock beds. That's how much I hate it
nice off camber. looks slick but holding in well
Or 6lbs and a uhd tube in your buddies free take offs.
Great video dude. Extremely helpful when making a decision
