4/6/2024 6:29am Stock is 5.0nm which is 0.51kg I reckon your right, I wish I tried just springs and oil before I got a revalve aswell.

4/6/2024 6:23am Yeah I'm running forks flush which has helped. To me it's more of a harsh feeling in the hands on the small chop. Feels good on bigger hits it's just short sharp small stuff nearly rattles the bars out of my hands. I'm running 5.2nm springs, 350ml oil and a revalve.

4/6/2024 6:17am I have a 23 350sxf and a 24 kx450 with about 20hrs on each. Have kyb forks on 350 but otherwise stock. You really can't go wrong with either of these bike, they are both awesome and I really can't separate them. I will say that anyone who says the kx is comparable to the 350 must be riding it...

4/6/2024 5:21am Was just about to ask the same thing. I'm finding mine very busy in the front end on choppy braking bumps.

4/6/2024 4:58am Got my first ride with Ti6 exhaust today. For anyone wanting to save a few bucks and doesn't mind the look of the stock exhaust removing the baffle and screens gets you 80% of what the full PC does. Definitely a little disappointed there wasn't a bigger difference. Also it's a subjective thing but to me the PC pipe sounds...

3/30/2024 4:23pm When did the ticking mainly happen, like when the motor was under load? Was it more like a metallic crackle/rattle?

3/27/2024 8:02pm Thanks, I'll stick with the ti-6 then 👍

3/27/2024 6:13pm Contacted pro circuit and they said both ti-6 and ti-6 pro are the same length. Was about to swap my order to the pro and just got a msg from my local shop saying my ti-6 has arrived 🤣 Would you swap to the pro? Is your t-6 horribly loud?

3/27/2024 5:10am Would you possibly know if the pro muffler is the same length as your t-6?

3/26/2024 9:32pm Can anyone confirm the difference between the ti6 and the ti6 pro? Is it just the core diameter or is the muffler length different aswell? Thanks

3/15/2024 3:30pm Thanks, I've sent him an email so hopefully he sends me his new map. In saying that I have tried a few different maps and a few of my own and I'm actually very happy with the stock mapping with opened up airbox/exhaust and 51 tooth rear.

The last few posts about Keefer’s fuel and ignition settings is the old 24 kx450 one. He since went a complete different direction with the fuel and ignition settings. He said in stock form the bike is rich. In his podcast he mentions you can email him for the new settings with the stock ECU. It’s a very different mapping for fuel and a slight change on Ig. I have the numbers but it’s not my place to post them. After that, he’s now testing the vortex.

3/14/2024 5:44pm Another video on Keefers site saying bike is rich yet the Keefer/cha map adds more fuel. Am I right to be confused?

3/13/2024 6:44am Pretty simple to do, remove end cap and grind/cut out baffle that is in the end cap. Then remove the 2 screens inside muffler, 1 is close and can get with long pliers. 2nd one is further down and need long screwdriver or a long drill bit works good aswell. Just tear the crap out of them they will come...

I appreciate it. That definitely makes me feel a little better. Sucks that I can't be home at the moment and get to riding it. As for now I can only sit and read and watch videos and so on. They all have their own special pros and cons so it's good to hear you are enjoying it so far. Can't wait to get home and get started on the freshy.

3/11/2024 11:40pm I'm coming from a 23 yz450f and 23 350sxf (which I still own). With 12hrs on this new kx it's definitely not perfect but it's better than my previous bikes, don't stress you made the right call 👍

3/11/2024 3:49pm I agree, bike definitely feels lean. Especially once airbox and exhaust has been opened up.

3/11/2024 3:47pm Yeah I tried a map with more fuel and less timing and it did improve the detonation. It was too slow for my liking but so I've been putting octane boost in my fuel lately and it seems to be ok. Haven't ridden on a real hot day to test it yet but.
