Smith246 Added a reply to 2024 Kawasaki KX450 and KX450X
6/19/2024 6:55am That's the beauty of our sport, we have so many awesome bikes to choose from at the moment. The only thing I still struggle to understand is when people say a 350 wears them out more than a 450. I ride both my 350 and 450 with the same level of aggression and I go faster on the 350. Both...

6/18/2024 8:34pm How many hrs have you got on your 450? For the first 20 or so hrs I liked my kx450 better than the 350 but now im starting to get bored with the heavy feeling slow revving nature of the kx powerband. The new 350 on the other hand is alot snappier fast revving fun style of power. Again I...

6/18/2024 5:53pm I have a 23 350sxf and a 24 kx450 and while I definitely don't regret the kx450 i don't think I'll be keeping it. It depends what sort of rider you are and what you ride but for doing pure moto the 350 is still more fun, safer and faster over long rough motos for me. I will say the...

6/18/2024 5:19am So you are saying that if you make a map and send it to the bike it goes to both the white and green map on the switch? So you then only really have one map? Others have said your made map will go to the white map and the green will stay as standard ktm green map. Can anyone...

It goes to the white map. The green map always stays the same.

6/13/2024 8:32pm Glad to hear it's worth it, I'll hopefully get mine to dealer next week to get updated. When you send a new map to the bike does it go to the white or the green map on the handlebar switch?

I have it on my ‘23 350 SX-F. The dealer had to update the ECU to get it to pair. It was definitely worth the money. I’ve created a couple of maps playing around with things like traction control and engine braking and it definitely makes a difference. I also paid for the Rider subscription. The data logging is really cool, but for some reason I can’t get it to read jump distance or height.

6/13/2024 5:13pm I just installed one on my 23 350sxf and it wouldn't connect. I'm guessing I'll have to get the ecu updated?

6/9/2024 10:00pm Yeah I have a 24 kx450 aswell and while the 450 definitely has alot more torque, the 23 350 is more like a mini 450 than the previous models. It also has a very responsive quick revving nature that makes the bike feel lighter an more fun.

6/9/2024 7:05pm Personally I prefer my 23 over my 17,19 and 22. I don't really feel the frame is too stiff at all and the engine on the 23 is awesome.

This is crazy... I rode both my YZ250, then my MC350F back to back on Thursday at a track I built a month ago for some friends. Both bikes are set up pretty well at this point. I was two seconds faster on the 250 than I was on the 350 according to my Garmin GPS watch and a private Strava segment I have for that location... I didn't jump the three in the two-three section on the YZ250 and it was still faster on my two best laps than on the two best laps of the 350F. I assume...

6/8/2024 5:52pm Got a chance to ride my first yz250 yesterday and I honestly loved it. No way would I be as quick as my 350 or 450 but it would definitely by an amazing 2nd/training bike. Rode 350 and 450 on the same day and I've decided 450 is going. 350 was quicker/safer and easier to ride longer. Might swap 450...

Thanks for the reply. PC just said some peoples go in the whole way to the tab, and others don’t. Said it’s fine to run… but seems odd to me. Guess if you haven’t had an issue, it’s ok? I haven’t started it with it yet, but will look it over closer for leaks over the weekend.

6/7/2024 3:30am Mine has the same gap, about 3mm or so. Not sure what the tab is for 🤷♂️

6/5/2024 5:20pm Thanks, appreciate the feedback. I didn't think anything has changed with the engine on the 25's?

6/5/2024 4:10pm Have you ridden a 23/24 model before? Can you actually feel any difference with the new chassis?

A YZ250 would be a great second bike if you like a 250 two stroke. The 2022 KTM two strokes with some jetting work are superior to the new injected models. After riding the 2023 TC125 and TC250, you can pry my carburetors from my cold, dead hands. I haven't ridden an aftermarket ECU on the newer Austrian two strokes, Maybe that would change my opinion?

6/5/2024 7:17am Apologies for being a bit off topic but I'm considering a yz250 as a second bike to my 350. Do you feel the yz250 is a good second bike to a 350? I'm also considering a new 150sx when they come out but can't decide what would compliment the 350 the best.
