The 6500’s are a great fork insert for most. Tyler Medaglia was running KYB the last couple of seasons and recently switched to 6500’s over KYB and CV’s. He mentioned that the 6500’s give him more front end traction than the KYB’s. He seems pretty happy.
Components are high quality and they seem to be way easier to find a good setting that works for the rider than XACT Pro’s.

I find the grey plastic to be ghastly.
Now, the 'Heritage Models'; they are quite nice :
......
Graphics and plastics color are a whole different discussion, but I’m not much for white plastics, especially the whole bike… but I’m sure it’s appealing to some.
I change all my plastics to orange on my KTM’s, then keep the graphics very simple. Just what I like, that’s why they make several colors of plastics.
But, flamin' heck / hooly dooly, langhammx , on a brief, far from accurate count I just made, I reckon you've got over 50 brand names / emblems on (each of) those Beautiful bikes. And yes, I realize that most are on big, custom made decal panels.
Me, I thought I just had the 5 on my ancient old thing, but No, I realized that there is an Acerbis decal on the front disc guard, and, I have a strip of duct tape on the rear fender to cover my number plate, that's there to place if there are cameras / 'concerned citizens' with mobile phones that think I'm not supposed to be on trails that I've ridden on for more than 5 decades.
As far as I know, everywhere I go is legal, especially with a legit plate, and an as quiet as a grumpy mouse exhaust, but you never know when the rabid greenies have decided to close off an area, from we tax payers, without telling us. It's getting a bit silly in the Blue Mountains - places that have had roads and trails in them, for at least a hundred + years, that never change, well, they are now designating as Wilderness.
I’ll be out riding at my property with some of the other 250+ land owners of one of the most diverse terrains we have here in Sunny So California. A few thousand acres of combined land that brings out some of the most accomplished riders/ racers.
The only problem we have is trying to keep the motorcycles off of the PCT (pacific coast trail) that runs through the middle of the area. The ones who don’t own land and think it’s ok to ride there, are trying to ruin it for us all, by doing this ! The PCT is plainly marked with signs to please stay off the hiking trail, but some feel they are above that and ride on them anyways. It’s a problem that requires constant attention from the ones who own land there.

~ to each their own bud, it take it you like em plain Jane style. No problem, we are all entitled to dress em up how we please, right ?
Will they have a mc300? Mc125, mc250??
KTM was positive that it was the TPS. I took it to the dealer and they hooked it up to the computer and using the idle adjustment knob and fast idle button/knob they set it to where "it was supposed to be". This was at the direction of KTM. It didn't do anything... They told me NOT to adjust the actual TPS.
This was probably a dumb idea but i was tired of waiting around and our dealer is like 2 hours away - I wanted to adjust the damn TPS but didn't have the pigtail connector to set it by voltage. So i just sat and ever so slightly adjusted it until it ran right. Revs out fine now. I want to get a connector to check the voltage and get it perfect because every once in a while it will have a slight bog but it's much better now.
Havent messed with it in a week or 2 now b/c we were at Mini O's racing other bikes and took the suspension off to get done a few days before leaving.
I have seen some of the videos kicking around on Youtube about adjusting the TPS and it has been somewhat conflicting. Some say you can richen and lean out across the throttle range by changing the initial voltage and some say it only affects throttle just off idle. It would make sense to me that the whole throttle range has been affected with the move of the TPS but I'm no expert. There does seem to be an nice meter you can buy(TPSTool.com) to help with this.
It's winter now where I'm at so the bike is holed up for the season but might as well give it a shot. Thanks for the update on your situation and if anything improves on your end I'd love to hear about it. Don't want to see my kid get wadded up (or anyone's) out on the track because the bike cuts
Pit Row
Winter is here so more testing to come..
Finally brought my TX300 home-you guys with the XC models-did they come with o-ring chains? I noticed mine didn't which is strange because my '20 did.
Gonna start tearing into it today to grease the chassis and I'll have a pile of parts on the way this week too. Hoping we get some good weather soon to go break it in.
