Yes.
I’m starting to now finally, after my near death experience last summer 😂
Throw the white coupler in that launch control plug on the harness and call it a day. It’s the same wiring pattern, just eliminates unnecessary clutter. Works for 2019-2023’s. #Factory

Do you prefer your 22 over the 24?
Yes, but not really a fair comparison. My 22 had a FMF and a Vortex ECU and it just ran really good. I need to quit messing around and get my Vortex mapped for my 24.
So it's the engine that makes you prefer your 22? What do you feel about the handling between the two?
This is my first kx and and I got it because I wanted the most stable bike I could get, and everyone says that is a kx. Not that i feel this bike is unstable but it's definitely a bit more busy than I had hoped. My 23 350sxf is noticeably more planted in the front end coming into choppy corners.
It's hard to say, but I do agree the 24 is busier than the 22. The suspension revale helped a ton, bike was sketchy when it was stock, zero headshake now. I was one of the guys that didn't mind the long feeling of the 22, the 24 turns better.
Maybe try stiffer fork settings? My bike is supper plush with my stiffer settings, so much that I'm going to be going stiffer myself.
Like I told the guy earlier. Try dropping a single optional stiffer spring in one side of your forks. I had a bit of twitchiness prior to making this change, and that twitchiness is gone now. The spring was less than $100, so it is a cheap way to solve the problem if it works for you as well as it worked for me.
I'm thinking I would actually be one of the people that may possibly like the feel of the older model better ha ha.
Forks are currently getting there second revalve. I'm running heavier fork springs and more oil for better hold up but softer valving for some plushness. Maybe im just too used to kyb/ohlins/dal soggio suspension but these showa's transfer alot of feedback into the hands.
Thanks. I'm already running stiffer springs and more oil for better hold. Have had forks revalved once and they are currently getting done again. Hopefully this time I'm happy 🤞
I have got accustomed to the KYB feel- and have KYB on my 24 kx 450.
Have already transferred over some friends to KYB on their 24 kx 450 as well .
the showa can be made very good but it will definetly have a different feel ( less top of the fork plushness mainly)
consider putting some kx250f KYB forks on it - or give my guy Craig decker at enzo at the texas location a shot - my showa he did was pretty close on the top stroke to my current KYB.
Is that 7398 Out the door if you're an out of state buyer paying cash? Or is it 7398 + 450 Freight + setup + doc fee?
They’re under 8k out the door at tricounty in wv and sport cycles in nc
you doing it?
I think i have come accustomed to that feel aswell, I really like alot of initial plushness.
Gonna try one more revalve and see how that goes. If still not 100% happy I have a set of a-kit kyb outer tubes from a yzf, they are the same diameter as the kx. All I'll need is the cartridge and some new axle lugs and I'll have complete kyb forks for the kx.
I would definitely use Enzo but as I'm in Australia it's a little too far to send my suspension ha ha.
Next year maybe, i gotta atleast ride the 350 2 seasons. These deals make me all itchy trigger finger tho!!
Pit Row
Same lol. I need to stay off the internet...
I had to delete Facebook because of marketplace and all the endless temptations lmao!!
Both you guys have more money than me. Go buy a damn bike and thank me later.
Damn if that ain't the truth button the flip side I can't sell shit on FB anymore no matter how low you go. People just are not spending any money.
It’s $7398 plus $546 in sales tax, plus $99 doc fee puts you at $8036 OTD
paid $7838 OTD for my 2020 KX 450
on my 24 KX450 paid $7899 plus $560 NC tax, and $99 doc fee = $8643 OTD on 3/23/24
Did you ever get a chance to ride or race the original layout at ECMX? Loved it. Haven't raced the "newer" layout. 402 Trails designed the new layout but all the sand I guess got mixed into the base, its totally different.
Thanks , so should be 7398+99$ doc fee out the door as an out of state cash buyer, should be no sales tax. I’d finance and let the cash ride in a savings account earning 5% but I think that would force my hand to pay sales tax and make it not worth it.
My 19 was roughly 6750 or so in November of 19 after the team green money. Doesn’t even make sense to buy early and team green them when rebates are as high as they are now.
Been a minute since I was last there
That track is a pure sand track, very deep under race conditions, last race it rained the night before so practice and first Moto was a mud fest.. second Moto was very tacky, finished 3 overall last October
Not sure what the being out of state tax policy is??
surely they’d hit you up with State sales tax upon purchase?
I have to pay sales tax in the midwest buying bikes in MN while I live in WI.
Finance or cash doesnt make a difference.
I've Purchased new bikes at a dealer from 3 different states of which i'm not a resident, paid cash, and did not have to pay sales tax. Some states may have reciprocity agreements that avoid this, or "dealer must deliver out of state" to avoid collecting, but i've never had to deal with that.
Sucker, have Ballz or I handle it for you next time...
