  • A review of some basic mods to make this bike ready for hard enduro (plus some extras), then I take it for its first ride on some gnarly single track. #truenorthmotos #tx300i #2021

    Update: I do NOT recommend the Fischmoto spark arrestor for TPI bikes. It made the bike run like crap. I’ve since gone with the FMF Turbinecore 2.1, which has been great.

    Nice bike and mods! I'm not running a pipe guard either and upgraded to the FMF Gnarly pipe after I mangled the stock one. So far it's holding up pretty well!

    • @WASemiHardEnduro
      @WASemiHardEnduro  4 роки тому +2

      Kinda my thought process - pipe guards are 50% of the cost of a new pipe, and they still don't 100% protect from damage.

    Great tire combo. In the summer put an M5B on the back. 33S is perfect for wet rocks tho.

  • @Siskiyouoffroad
    @Siskiyouoffroad 3 роки тому +1

    Great video! Ironically I just bought the exact same tire combo for my ‘04 450 MXC, hoping the combo does well in the woods… my Motoz desert HTs were great in high desert but they are not a good tire for roots lol

    Love the smooth running and low end grunt! This trail is a little more rough and slow than I care for but this bike is up for it. It probably really flies out on the roads?

  • @TonyRidesDirtbikes

    Interesting that you've got the ktm headlight mask on, didn't even notice. Blends in well.

    • @WASemiHardEnduro
      @WASemiHardEnduro  4 роки тому

      I’ve always thought the Husky mask looked goofy!

    • @davedesmon9470

    Great videos. Wondering if you are going to mention the grip heaters and the different grips. I run grip heaters only bikes but I haven't put them on my 18 TX yet. Would like to see how you wired them and what throttle tube you use. Thanks for sharing. 👍

    • @WASemiHardEnduro
      @WASemiHardEnduro  4 роки тому +1

      I run regular Tusk grip heaters. To get them to work with lock-on grips, you need to scrape off the grips from the lock on tubes. Then you can install repeaters, and then you install regular grips over the top. I have them wired to an accessory switched power source using a motominded adapter.

    Love the build! Did you stick with the stock flywheel and battery?

    • @WASemiHardEnduro
      @WASemiHardEnduro  4 роки тому +2

      Yes, TX has the same stator & battery as the TE.

    Very nice setup! After you added the TNM kit, how did you register it with WA DMV?

    • @WASemiHardEnduro
      @WASemiHardEnduro  4 роки тому +1

      Had my dealer do the paperwork and submit it to the DOL. then they send back a license plate and a new title that is branded for “on road use”

  • @alang3991
    @alang3991 4 роки тому +2

    I’ve got the same bike and it runs fantastic. Question for you. Has the header on your pipe turned gold? Mine has at 5 hours. The way the bike runs, the spark plug color, the look of the piston through the exhaust port, and the coolant temps all indicate fueling is safe - maybe even a touch rich. Not sure if I should be concerned about the gold header color, or if it’s normal. Thanks.

    • @WASemiHardEnduro
      @WASemiHardEnduro  4 роки тому +2

      No, mine doesn't seem to be turning colors, other than the grime that gets built up on the hottest part of the pipe that is a #@$% to clean!

  • @stangindude99
    @stangindude99 2 роки тому +1

    How do you like the tx over the te for enduro riding? Might pickup a tx this weekend

    • @WASemiHardEnduro
      @WASemiHardEnduro  2 роки тому

      I like the TX personally for 3 reasons:
      1- the gearing is better (1st is actually useable, no big gap to 2nd),
      2 - the AER forks IMO are better and more versatile, and
      3 - it's 12 pounds lighter than the TE.
      Both bikes can do harder enduro stuff just fine, and I love my TX for that kind of riding - I've never wished I had a TE instead. Now the '23 TX sounds like it's a little more hard-edged than the TPI version, but I'm sure it's good as well.

  • @CW-up7xv
    @CW-up7xv 4 роки тому +1

    Recommendation: try the ktm power parts plastic hand guards that tie into the master cylinder and use stock flags. I'll never go back to cycra/fasteway/acerbis.

    • @WASemiHardEnduro
      @WASemiHardEnduro  4 роки тому

      Those look good, but won’t work with the Clake clutch

    Question on the FAN does it have a set temperature it is set to come on? Love that bike!

    • @WASemiHardEnduro
      @WASemiHardEnduro  4 роки тому +1

      Yes the fan has an adjustable thermostat switch - currently set to come on at 190, seems to work well.

    @davedesmon9470 3 роки тому

    I'm an older casual rider, nothing technical or racing for me. I could get a used 450 for half the price, but i could afford the Husky. What Should I get?

    • @WASemiHardEnduro
      @WASemiHardEnduro  3 роки тому

      For trail riding, I'd avoid a 450 at all costs. They're generally pretty difficult to ride on trails. The TE300i would be a good option, as would a number of other less-racy bikes.

      I haven't had the chance to ride more than 35mi on a tank yet, so I'm curious as well!

    • @kevincrownshaw4669
      @kevincrownshaw4669 4 роки тому +1

      @@WASemiHardEnduro but with 35 miles is it empty or close too? I just bought a 21 TX300I and I feel like I go threw gas like it’s water. And I’m not riding it hard or for a long period of time

    • @WASemiHardEnduro
      @WASemiHardEnduro  4 роки тому +1

      I remember it being lower than I expected... mine seems to also use fuel faster than I would prefer. I'd love to be able to count on 60+mi per tank, but I'm not sure if it'll do it yet.

      @mathews0618 4 роки тому

      WA Semi-Hard Enduro my stock yz250 will do nearly 70. That's a 5 speed. I wanted a wr transmission so cruising speeds of 50-60 wouldn't be hard on the bike. But i dont like the modified wr gearboxes where they take a motocross transmission and create weird spacing. So i guess i was hoping this one would hit 75

    • @WASemiHardEnduro
      @WASemiHardEnduro  4 роки тому +1

      Per Gearing Commander, the TX will do 80+. I just haven’t gone that fast.
