My 25 Husk came with a 47 as listed in the manual and yes you spend more time in 2nd gear than 3rd. The 300 lugging thru turns doesn't happen for me with a 47 tooth. Only 6hrs on the bike and I can tell the chain and sprockets won't be on it much longer from chain stretch and rear sprocket wear.

I expected issues for a first year model from a boutique Italian manufacturer, but the main areas of the bike are really good. Motor, chassis, suspension, and brakes are all superb. Considering there are less than 500? of these bikes in the wild, and most people dont ride for an hour or more without stopping, I'm not surprised this issue is only now surfacing. Unfortunately my stepper motor reset hack didn't resolve the issue. At 40-45 minutes the throttle response started to lag, and as I kept going it started to bog/stall, but only at initial throttle opening. Considering Jared...

Mr. Plump Added a reply to MX34 vs AT82 front on sand MX track?

8/15/2025 8:48am
AT82 is my new moto tire, hands down. I just bought an MX3S to try, but of the other major players (MX33, MX34, MX32 mid-soft, X31, etc.) the AT82 has been the standout for me. It works everywhere (very good in soft or sand-ish conditions) and has a lot of "bump comfort", if that makes sense. As someone else has...

I raced with a at82 front this last weekend. I wasn't in sand, but it was soft/intermediate terrain with lots of tree roots. Tillamook state forest in the PNW. I really liked the front and I'd take it over a mx34 front any day. The 80/100-21 size seemed narrower on the at82 than the same size mx34. Not sure how the 90/100-21 would look next to the 80/100-21 MX34, might be closer or maybe a little fatter

Another vote to round-file the Maxxis garbage. I have a 21.5 KTM and my dad bought a 22 (or 23…can’t recall but same bikes) MC450…I couldn’t believe how bad those tires were compared to my bike with the Dunlops. As far as air forks, I swapped to 6500’s on mine…if I’d have ridden dads bike first I would’ve just revalved mine and stayed with air. They are really good.

Tires, air filters and oil changes. This is my strategy. When it wears out I'll grab a fresh one. I'm slow, but the air forks are fine for plenty of riders of different levels.

FWIW, I have to agree regarding the air forks. I'm running them on a 2024 350SX-F and 2024.5 Husky 450 FE and have really come to like them. I have no desire to convert to spring and I haven't even revalved mine (45+ Vet A/B, 178 lbs.). Anyways, tires, bars (whatever your flavor is), and maybe some chassis mods. I...

Are these just open MX rides or is racing involved? Suspension (I stuck with the air forks, I actually like them), tires, and seat time.

That bike doesn’t “need” spring forks, especially if you’re riding 2-4 times a month. Honestly, it doesn’t really need anything, but if you’re fishing for the best mods… Tires (the maxxis aren’t great), ethanol free fuel (to keep things clean while the bike sits), and maybe a bar pad because the GG pad is basically non existent. IMO, a vortex by xpr/twisted is the best bang for your buck, but it’s not cheap, and it’s not necessary.

Interesting! My 2023 300sx definitely came with a 49, which I replaced with a 50. I can't imagine a 47-tooth being optimal, unless you like running 2nd gear everywhere. Although, I could see it working OK on a very open and fast track.

Both my manual and Motorsport say stock gearing is 14/49 so I ordered a 50 to go up a tooth…when I pulled the stock one it’s a 47 but I can’t find anything online confirming this gearing. Am I crazy?

Lol - it came from "Pleasantly Plump" which was supposed to just be a temporary "funny" handle from another group. But you know how that goes, it just stuck and I became "Mr. Plump". But now I should go by "AFKA Plump" since I just lost 60 lbs. and I'm not "Pleasantly Plump" anymore...down to 178 lbs., lol.

I'll agree with Mr. Plump (...how did you get that name?). My GG would drag and stall when I put it in gear. I pretty much just accepted it honestly.

In my experience, the KTM group bikes suffer from clutch drag more than others, especially when new and/or when the engine is cold and has not warmed up to operating temperature. Bleeding the clutch can help if there's air in the line (I would do this either way to make sure), but my experience is it didn't help much. I...

One of the most interesting posts in a long time. Yes, where are the performance charts? This is easy to obtain, compare. Where are the published weights? If it shaves off 400 grams, is the average rider going to notice in any way? Maybe only their wallet. Also, why does a little single cylinder exhaust system cost $400 more than a full Borla twin Cat system for my 6.2 Camaro?
