Smith246 Added a reply to Huge Stark Issue/ Refunded
5/3/2025 7:01pm Just the control they have over the bike is enough for me to never buy another one. The riding aspect of the bike is amazing but the fact that here in Oz they have simply dropped our charging rate and there's nothing we can do about it, plus a few other things have really pissed me off with the company.

5/3/2025 5:51am The 450 felt very light and flickable. The chassis was super compliant. They would prep the demo track in the morning and then just let it go all day so I purposely rode in the afternoon. A couple parts were really shot out with big holes and the bike had a weird sensation where you would brace for something that you were accustomed to feeling really harsh and the bike would go through it like nothing was there. I will say that front end traction isn't super good, but you might be able to improve that with setup changes. The...

5/2/2025 9:19pm I spoke to a Triumph engineer at Mini O's for about an hour after riding the 450 and I asked about a 350. I have a lot of experience on a 350 so he was curious what i had to say. He basically said that they are making one for off road and it only made sense to build a motocross version as well. At the time they were also considering slightly different engine sizes like 370 and 380, but sounded like they would land at 350. I haven't said much prior to this because it seemed like some of...

5/2/2025 9:11pm This is some of the best news I've heard in a long time, to say im excited is an understatement. Personally I'd love a 380 but they'll be getting my money either way. It's a bit off topic of the thread but do you mind giving me your thoughts on the TF450, especially compared to the 23+ 350's?

5/2/2025 4:24pm Do you have actual proof or just rumours? I only ask because i have a new triumph 450 on the way but am a massive 350 fan and would definitely wait if one was coming.

4/30/2025 3:38pm In case you haven’t heard, as it’s been oddly silent on the US moto media front, Joel Evans crashed at an Aussie national last weekend and moved on from this world. His partner announced she is pregnant with his son. Please consider supporting them. https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-support-joels-little-family ML, any chance this can get on the homepage?

4/15/2025 6:16am Cheers for your feedback. I'm feeling most of the harshness through my hands. I've definitely made it alot better than stock, but I feel it is partly in the chassis or maybe triple clamps.

4/15/2025 5:35am Are you riding your EX on a moto track to feel the softer chassis? Where do you feel the chassis is softer, like does it feel plusher through the bars or the rear or just overall? I have messed with my MX suspension alot and got it very good, but I think the MX has a harshness to the chassis...
Smith246 Added a reply to Best Exhaust for '23+ KTM 350 SXF
4/7/2025 4:23pm I would definitely do the Akro slip on again. If you've got money to burn I'd go the full system but if not the slip-on is enough. Ive got over 60hrs on mine now and it's still holding up very well. Other pipes I've had looked trashed after alot less hrs than that so I'm very pleased with the Akro.

3/23/2025 9:05pm I rode one yesterday. Definitely feels very KTMish when you sit on it. Power is very smooth and linear like a KTM. I thought it turned decent. Not as good as a Kawi or a Honda 450. It was a stiffer feeling chassis like a Japanese bike, but had power like a Austrian bike. We rode a sand track at like 4500 ft so it may have been a little bit of an unfair judge of the bike for me, but it lacked a little bottom end power but liked to be in the higher RPM.

3/16/2025 3:29am I'm confident there's nothing wrong with my bike, just electric technology isn't ready for all situations yet. Yeah I've ridden a few other tracks now, best I have got is 40% battery for a 15 min moto. This was a harder pack slower overall speed track, basically best case scenario for me. Both of my friends with starks are a...

3/16/2025 2:46am Yeah we did, and used similar battery on each bike. I've heard different things about the adjustable power curve. Some say it won't be available on the current MX version and some say it will.
