Putting an extra spring on the brake pedal and use carbon pads helps to keep the brake temps down for me

Nice input mate

Great info.. Also a over 40 A cross country racer.. Running cone valves and WP trax shock on a 23 and 24 350XCF. I would recommend taking out a rear engine mount bolt on each side. You'd be shocked how much it changes the flex in the frame. Seems to calm down the rigidity. Haven't tried any aftermarket engine mounts.

miss the days of big six, WORCS and SRA gp once a month.....switched to a streetbike and hate it, going back to dirt soon...... owned KX, RMZ, YZFS.....the 2009 KTM 450 XCF was best bike I ever had, including motocross

My weight and class. Nice review.

Great review and suggestions, thanks!

I'm kinda glad I didn't wait for the 24's when I bought my 23 500 mid year. I'm seeing alot of negative feedback regarding the stiff new chassis.

Wouldn’t the front end benefit from a 20mm clamp vs 24mm ?!

KTM 2025: yeah we're going back to 2022 frame, sorry guys.

[@youtubeaccount9058]

It seems like most of this is about the bike being too rigid and twitchy.

Might be in the video, but I missed it. What seat are you running?
