That's exactly the reason I don't have Facebook, or any social media. I believe what I experience myself and see around me with my own eyes. I'm not saying people don't have issues with the tbi bikes or any bikes for that matter. But I do believe the issues are blown up to be alot more than they really are...

Can speak on a 23 300sx and 25 150sx, no way did they need a vortex or anything done with the tuning. Both of them ran better than my 17 150sx and 22 yz250.

I can't say anything about the SX300. Had a YZ250 turned into a YZ300 What I can say is the SX250 revves really good, I can't complain about a lacking top end. Could use a little more bottom end maybe. After the first rides I was a bit disappointed and thought maybe I should've taken a 300, but after some time on the bike the 250 is definitly right! Absolutly loved it last weekend! Playful, fast, great traction, all with a good dose of 2-stroke power, fast revving, really good! Right now PC pipe and a short HGS silencer. Waiting...

Appreciate the feedback. I have a 25 350 as my main bike which I love. Had a 25 150sx as a fun play bike as my 2nd bike and although it was a super fun bike I'm just too big and ride sandy tracks so it just didn't work. I want a fun play bike to go with my 350...

Just wondering if you've ridden a 23+ 300sx and how it compares to your 250sx? I'm interested in getting a new 250sx but there's not alot of info out there about them. I had a 23 300sx and didn't really gel with the motor on mx tracks. Have heard people say the 250sx feels more racey and fun than the...

If you have a 25 350 now and want a play bike to go with it definitely get the 25 150. That's the combo i had and the 150 was a blast to ride i was just too fat for it ha ha.

I do love my '24 KTM, but this certainly makes me wonder about future bikes. Time will tell. (Dear Japanese manufacturers, one of you please make a competitive 350.)

Is the 25/26 kx450 much different from the 24? I’ve ridden my buddies 24 kx450 a bunch and I’m a little lost at the idea that it’s slow. I own a 24 yz450 and my preferred map is the “hard hitting” map, so coming off my bike and riding his kx450 you’d think according to the bikes reputation it would be a huge difference. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a very noticeable difference between the two, but just because it’s noticeable doesn’t mean the kx is slow. That bike absolutely fucking rips! I legit jumped on his bike this past...

I have the Luxon knuckle and link on my 23 350SXF. It’s been a while since I installed it so I’m fuzzy on the A to B comparison but I do remember it making the rear feel more stable accelerating out of corners and it helped with bottoming resistance. I backed off my high speed compression about 1/4 turn when I installed it.

Have too much stuff to do and didn't have the time to dedicate to do the testing and dialing in.

I know this is a Luxon thread but I second the REP link. I installed it after damn near giving up on the +23 chassis. The best bang for my buck on my '23 KTM 450, hands down.

I realize you are asking about the Luxon but just put an REP on my 25 Husky. Very happy with it as it keeps the rear from any unwanted sudden kicking to the side when hitting a single square edge at speed. That was my person issue.

I installed the Luxon knuckle on my 2024 350sx-f and it definitely smoothed out the harshness of acceleration chop. That was my biggest complaint with the 2024 chassis - when I would ride my 2024 kx450 back-to-back with the 350, the KX was much more comfortable on hard edged acceleration chop. The Luxon knuckle significantly improved that area on the 350sx-f. I had to adjust clickers slightly (backed out LSC and HSC to compensate for some kicking going into corners), but otherwise I did not have to change the rear spring rate. I also have a 2024.5 Husqvarna FC450 Rockstar...

Wondering if anyone has used the Luxon linkage knuckle on a 23+ sxf, preferably a 25 and what they thought? I have a 25 350sxf and I'm reasonably happy with rear end but would like a little better bottoming resistance on the big hits. I could definitely get a revalve but the luxon knuckle sounds like it could achieve what...

The only way lowering hp helps with battery life is if you lower it to a point you are actually going slower than your ability is capable of, if that makes sense. Say if you ride at 55hp and you are going as fast as your ability allows, going to 60hp won't use anymore battery, you will just use less...

I owned mine for about 12 months and reliability for mine was great, no issues at all. 2 of my friends have starks and have had a few small issues which stark warranty fixed promptly. So I wouldn't be too concerned on the reliability side. Battery life is where it could be the best bike ever or a waste of...
