- Getting the freshie EC300 setup and dialed in for a season of Hard Enduro riding and racing. So far I'm loving this bike's power and feel. In this video we get the protection on it but stay tuned for a part 2 where we do some modifications to it.

"Freshie!!!"
*Proceeds to pull out grinder*
"Freshie!!!"
Hasn't been cleaned.
Love how you ran through the vid real quick and succinct! Excellent overview.
Awesome video. Thanks for all the upgrade tips and links!
Quality content as always Chris 🤙
Cool tip with the mini vice grips. 👍
I know this is an older video but I'm willing to bet that MXU chain has held up well. I used that chain on both my KTM 300 and my current 2012 Beta 498. over 300 hours on that chain and Iron Man rear sprocket. quite a few countershaft sprocket replacements though....
I had the Samco hoses and after just a month or two it rubbed a hole in it, and they wouldn't replace it. So, we've put a patch on it, thinking about the delete but would just use standard radiator hoses, as I can't see the Samco actually being any better.
Shuda weighed the stock bike before you put all the guards and stuff on it. I wonder how much all the stuff weighs... love ur channel ... always great content
Sick video!! Pt2 out yet??
On a hard enduro set up video I saw a guy put the master link clip on the inside of the chain. He said that it was harder to put on but he was never worried about it getting knocked off.
i can't remember the part numbers but i run a 80 series mousse in a 100 series rear tire works amazing in the hard enduro ( high alpine rocky mountains ) destroys the tires carcas way faster but worth it for the traction on my big old 500exc
How often or hours do you change your transmission oil on your 2 stroke?
Did you get a wake up dongle with the gasgas? I did a idle screw mod, but didn't get the gasgas dongle with the bike. No idea which wires to connect.
Primary drive x ring chain is really good and inexpensive
Yep. I’ve been using them the last couple years. They last.
FIt your chain split link on the inside of the chain. Much less wear.
How much weight did all that add?
Love your vids man! Have you had any issues with finding parts for the GG?
Just the levers unfortunately they’re different than brembo although very close
Anyone else use a grinder to get their chain off?
Always!! Also use Dremels and drills for other things too...lol
I have.
Bolt cutters work pretty good. I’m always scared to hit another part of the bike with a grinder.....
Just use a flap disk an grind the rivets off, thats how we always do it at work
That’s how I shorten a chain
What did all that cost?
Why the fim tire with the shorty knobs? Yes u said it's a gummy but I thought running fim tires when not required was a disadvantage.
the more hard enduro pros I talk to the more I hear them say they prefer the low knobs after having to run them in Europe. it feels more planted and the tire can squash down and the low parts where there is no knobs can touch the rock as well. For extreme traction I think these are better than a tall knob gummy. my favorite all around tire grip + life is the mitas 454 though which has a bit taller knobs and a bit harder shop.trailbound.co/collections/parts/products/mitas-xt-454-extreme-double-green-gummy-tire
I am in the middle of installing a new RK chain. My chain had NO link clip anymore! I spent 10 minutes spinning the rear wheel on the stand looking for my link ( I installed the chain correctly almost 16 months ago). NO LINK!! And I just came back from a 58 mile ride. I know I installed the link correctly, but could not even conceive it could be knocked off.
I am contemplating using a true rivet style master link from now on. I've NEVER had a chain break in the woods (520), they are incredibly strong.
rivet master is probably the way to go. I always wear off the master clips from wear through the usually bent chain guide
Has anyone had luck with a bolt on Rear Disc Guard? Or is the one piece version the only way to go?
Not sure I’ve seen a bolt on. I have bent the one piece ones and just bent them back. They take a beating tho
Have you not tried the soft nitromousses or soft Mitas mousses?
Soft nitro yes but Michelin is higher quality. Trying to get my hands on mitas bib. You try them?
@@TrailBoundco I've put 3000 miles on a standard nitromousse and it's still going strong. That being said our terrain is nowhere near as good as yours! I have just received a soft version to try. The Mitas are readily available over here but not tried one yet.
@@NorthWestEnduro it’s more of the nitro being in consistent in sizing and feels more dead than Michelin I think.
@@TrailBoundco ahh I see. I've never tried a Michelin so maybe I will next time.
So why do you remove the thermostat?
Because they can stick closed and overheat the engine. They are just one more item to fail. The housing is also bulky and prone to puncture your radiator during a crash. They are only on the bike because of the emissions in Europe for the two stokes. If you slowly warm up your engine like you're supposed to you don't need a Tstat.
Dirt bikes should come out with the protection...just saying. Thanks 🤙
Yes I agree especially when u paying 15/16k new
Looks great! Thought stock gearing was 13/51, no?
Na its 13/50
@@fh4248 I swear I saw one ktm with a stock 13/51 but I forget which year but yeah usually 13/50
ktm's are 13/50 but I swear recently I saw a bike with 13/51 stock on it. hmm
Hmm ok 🧐🤷♂️
I’ll verify but I swear my 21 Husky TX 300I is 13/51
Can't wait for this sale ad. Low hours, never dropped, adult owned/maintained...
Not sure removing the t-stat is a good idea - these bikes are already pretty cold-blooded.
Just have to make sure to warm them up good. But the main reason they are on there is all of the emissions Europe imposes and KTM is facing. Also, those cheap T-stats get hung up and can fry your motor or at least screw up a good day.
I agree i put the samco hose kit on my bike and the bike ran terrible it would not heat up properly. It drank a ton of gas and used alot of oil due to it running much cooler. After just a few rides i had to put the thermostat back on and bike runs perfect now.
@@joshdoman1929 Hmmm, the logic doesn't support your claim but you never know...
TPS* guard and it's essential.
Looks like moonrocks
For sure.
👍👍👍👍🇷🇺
I would not want Allen bolts instead of torx! I swear Allen get stripped no matter what
Why? I never change my sprocket once it’s on the DDC never wears out
@@TrailBoundco might have to switch brands when my stock sprocket wears out
@@flannel7977 try out the ddc I’ve never managed to bend or wear it down
@@TrailBoundco will do!
Wouldn’t hurt to clean your bike
.
Just Bought 1,000.00 worth of stuff.
Haha yeah kinda sad we buy 11,000 dirt bike and still out 2,000$ of parts and protection on
That is not a GasGas
You better wash and clean your gasgas first before you upgrade the parts. You so slattern
D I D. Chain made in Japan. Not China !
