12/16/2025 5:02am My 25 350sxf is the best stock bike I have ever owned and can definitely be kept 100% stock and still be a great bike. I just like buying cool stuff ha ha

12/15/2025 6:47pm Hi, no I got mine from a company in Australia with a dual injector kit. It has the original maps that come with the vortex when you buy it direct from vortex but they have put a few of there maps in to work with the dual injector kit. I was having a bit of trouble with the injector kit...

12/15/2025 5:00pm I sold mine, not because it was a bad bike but because I realised I definitely like 350's better. I will say it was a hard bike to sell and i took alot bigger loss than I normally do with other brands.

Same here. The Twisted Vortex might not be a much larger amount of bottom power, but it is much cleaner mapping making 3rd more useable in tight ruts. Less herky jerky and definitely less prone to flame out (zero flame out actually). So it's smoother and you don't have to worry as much about covering the clutch or stalling the bike. A 53 sprocket will definitely make 3rd peppier in corners.

12/15/2025 4:54pm The torque map was what I used and it definitely made the most difference off the bottom, maybe didn't rev out as far as stock but still plenty good. I just have the maps that come from vortex as mine was setup for a dual injector kit but having trouble with that so just running the torque map.

12/15/2025 3:15pm Just put a vortex on my 25 350 and while it did make a nice difference i wouldn't say it was night and day better. Where I noticed it most was it was alot less jerky on small throttle openings making slow corners a bit better. Maybe felt like it had a little more torque off the bottom but again...

11/30/2025 12:47am You sound just like me ha ha. I've had 12 bikes over the last 3 years, owning 2 or 3 at a time and comparing trying to find my perfect bike. I don't like to call it wasting money I call it expensive learning 🤣 What I've learnt is that all 450's are basically the same, and you'll be fastest...

11/29/2025 9:42pm I agree, at 95kg my 23 and 25 350sxf have been the best overall handling bikes I've ever owned, perfect blend of comfort and stability in my mind. Much better than my 19-22 models. I also didn't really notice much difference between my 23 and 25 model which was ment to be a softer chassis, both felt equally as good.

11/20/2025 7:10pm I think price, dealer support and looks matter the most these days. None of these bikes are going to make you any faster than you already are.

11/13/2025 10:15pm Yeah I agree, I'll take handling over power any day.

11/10/2025 4:22pm Difference in oil level could be the outer tubes, they not running the pro tubes by the looks.

11/10/2025 3:30pm What I find interesting is it looks like from the pictures all the ktm guys are running the stock tapered outer tubes not the more rigid straight wall xact pro ones. This could also mean absolutely nothing and they could be a completely different thickness and nothing like the stock ones at all.

11/7/2025 2:55pm Not sure on the oils pump gears sorry, mine are all stock and been fine. Any levers that fit a ktm should fit the triumph. How much do you weigh? I'm 95kg and run 5.2nm springs, B grade motocross.

Being 50 lbs lighter might also get rid of that lag I felt too lol. Some bikes just run better than others even though they are supposed to be the same. I might have got a great 19 or a weak 22 model. I might have to give it another shot.

11/5/2025 6:07pm That is very strange as my 19 and 22 felt identical. I wouldn't give up on the 350 idea yet, my 23 and 25 350sxf have probably been the best bikes I've ever owned. And I had them at the same time as a 23 yz450, 24 kx450 and 25 tf450rc.

11/5/2025 5:15pm I'm interested why you liked the 19 350 but not the 22 as they were basically the same bike?

11/4/2025 5:15pm From the pics I've seen the top tubes appear to be tapered like the standard production ones not the exact pro. Not sure what internals but, would be very interested to know?

I loved the Stark when I rode one, but I'd much rather Yamaha uncover a YZ350F.
