I’ll get to the bottom of this tomorrow lol
I’m starting to think they will mount to either bike, possibly different specs?

Akrapoviks website should be helpful but what a joke. I was trying to find info on a system for my 23 MC350 and had better luck with just an internet search. Not sure if they’re going through a website redesign or what but its disappointing you can’t find info at all from the company that makes the stuff.
So the 450 FE slip on does fit the 350. What’s weird is most exhausts are labeled 250/350, so I’m guessing this would also mount to a 250, possibly just different specs. Weird
I'm running the split clamps. Honestly I really could hardly tell a difference. I also have the 6500 inserts which made a huge difference in front end feel. I would start there and skip the clamps. I'm also running a Luxon adjustable link in the rear(1mm longer). This really helps get rid of the stink bug feel of the stock geometry. Kind of gives it the feel of previous gen bike but in a better way.
My biggest gripe on the bike was that crummy herky jerky throttle response right off the bottom. I finally broke down and picked up a mapped vortex from XPR. Definitely spendy but was the only thing that fixed this.
Awesome that’s perfect. I actually have the luxon link sitting on a bench already. I was going to wait til the bike is broken in before changing anything to do with handling, but I may as well put it on. I’m definitely going the vortex route, just can’t decide on going with 6500s first or not. I’ll have to budget this out over a couple months lol. As of now I’m thinking vortex first
I would pull the trigger on the Vortex first. It makes a huge difference. I love the 6500's but the Vortex gave me way more confidence on the bike. I hated that unpredictable throttle response off the bottom. I would also get the occasional flame out which is totally gone now.
When you want to go for a full system, please give me first dibs on that pipe hahaha
Lol. I’ll try to keep it clean for you
Can anyone with a TD mapped vortex post their mapping sheet? I’m calling tomorrow to get maps sorted, so far I’m wanting the Power map, torque map, engine braking map and a couple t4 maps. Anything else you guys recommend?
I was literally about to ask if anyone used XPR. You were happy with it?
Pump gas and T4 use the same mapping from my understanding. TD is great to work with. Once you ride it if there is something that you want to change they will help you dial it in.
Oh perfect, that’s the exact mapping this vortex has already so they won’t have to change anything. I’m buying it privately and it’s already at twisted. I’m assuming a slip on wouldn’t change the mapping
No problem. I have a FMF full system and T4. Runs fantastic.
Perfect, thank you

I have an XPR mapped Vortex and it's great. I am also running a PC full exhaust. I am not 100% convinced it is the best yet. I want to try to do some testing with the stock exhaust in the next couple of weeks.
With the exhaust, I did loose a little bottom end. I have only tried the initial two maps which are labeled max power and max torque. At the track just having fun, I feel the max torque has a better feel for me probably coming from 450's over the last 15years.
Awesome, thanks. Same situation. Coming off 450's. It's my first 350
I think this bike would be even more impressive to me if I was coming off a 450 because of the handling. Coming off a 2 stroke it did feel on the heavy side at first, but I think it’s overall amazing so far. Low end is good and overrev seems really good too
If anyone out there is a larger gentleman and looking for a shock spring, they are hard to find and I have one for sale.
54NM OEM are on back order
I have a white cannon racecraft spring for the new shock, 245mm length and 55NM or 5.6kg.M, same material as OEM I am lead to believe so it's good for relative tuning.
If you are 240lbs plus, this is for you, 10 hours on it and I'll put it on classifieds shortly.
I am down to 51NM spring now and if things stay on track, I'll be giving away all my 38 waist TLD gear, LOL.
The mapping for pump, T4, and Pro6 is actually all the same (through Twisted). With the Pro6, they suggest tweaking the fuel trim levels. I just had this discussion with them.
I’m running the PC, I just put a Vortex on there too. I preferred the Torque map to begin with but after adding a PC linkage and getting the balance right I prefer the power map. I did find on some of the tighter U.K. tracks we have that the rear stayed light in some corners and the softer torque was better. The linkage has helped with the rear and I have to say I’m really impressed with it
I'm running a vortex from xpr and an adjustable luxon linkage 1mm longer aswell. Trying to get my shock dialed in now. 175lbs no gear. Running 105sag 38mm static with the OEM 45nm spring.
Does having a longer pullrod give more, less, or the same bottoming resistance?
Just thought I’d throw a picture of my bike up. I love the way it came out.
Neon ufo plastics? Looks great. I have a set in the box still, working on designing graphics at the moment.
my vortex should be showing up tomorrow so I’m excited to try that. I did notice the akropovic slip on seemed to help with decel pop and even made it not quite as jerky in first and second
They are stock KTM plastic. Vortex made a huge difference. You will love it.
How do you like the linkage and the engine mounts also what difference does it make please
It really helped settled the chassis down. Not sure that I “needed” to do both. I think the linkage helped the most.
