Blame the brand for not checking important stuff on your own bike. Jesus.

I’m very curious if the hub had a comeapart or if the sprocket was loose causing a chain reaction. (Howabout that pun)

To post a photo with no explanation is distribution of disinformation.

Also, the 19 350 is looking realllllly badass.

Lol, yep, had that happen on my 18 CRF 450. Chain sucked a rock into the guide/sprocket.

Wow those OTD prices are crazy low. I picked up a left over 18 this weekend (love the bike rode it on Sunday), I was looking at the 19 but financial it was not worth it for me. A 19 was not coming close to that out the door in San Diego.

I just put 2 1/2 hours on my 19. My 17 has a 52 rear, fmf system, 2 stroke filter cage and I cut the tab off of the inside of the air box cover. With in the first min riding the 19 I thought it was much slower then my 17. I even did the 2 stroke air filter cage and cut the tab off the air box cover before I rode the 19. Within 1/2 hour I ordered a 52 rear, but it was gonna take a few days to get. Now I have put 2 more hours on the bike and have grown to love the power. I’m wondering if a 52 is gonna be too much. I guess we will see, but I just can’t believe how awesome this bike is! It handles like no other bike I’ve ridden. I had to figure out a new psi compared to the 17 (149 to 155 now), but at 2 1/2 hours this thing is stable and corners like a monster. I love it!

The only mods I have made are a 51 on the rear and new bars. It has been raining for a week here. It’s driving me crazy not being able to ride it!

Did you have a chance to ride with the 51? How did you like it?

For you guys who had older models of the 350, did you replace pistons or bottom ends? How much time did you get?

I spent the weekend on one at the Boise Old Timers. Sweet Bike. Corners like a demon. No issue with dialing in either end and fun! Great bike. No complaints.

I just picked up a leftover ‘18 two weeks ago and it’s an awesome bike! What did you end up paying?

Joe....my buddy Chuck who race the vet expert stuff put 130 hrs on his 16' 350......didn't do a top end at all. When he sold it , the valves were still in spec and he said he had them adjusted around the 25 hr mark. Never went out of spec the rest of that 130 hrs. Pretty bullet proof bike if you keep up on the maintenance.

I’m sooo close to pulling the trigger on one as well- Can’t decide on the 350 or the new Green machine-

I’m onto my second 350sxf, had a 16 from new, put about 90 hours on it. Bought a 19, 6 weeks ago have 6 hours on it.
I have fitted FMF silencer, 2 stroke filter cage, drilled holes in edge of airbox cover and fitted 51 tooth sprocket.
Also swapped over my spare forks with Ohlins inserts and received new Ohlins shock last week.
Nothing wrong with standard suspension, but at 53 and sore body I like how the Ohlins feel.

They are a great bike.

What does the 2-stroke filter cage do for the performance? Simply not having the backfire screen?

This is my 19 350xcf right after installng the decal works backgrounds. I have since added about 10 hrs and I have raced two harescrambles. I love it! I swapped to a 52 sprocket, ktm bark busters and cut 1" off each side of the bars. Oh and added a cv4 2.0 radiator cap. Smooth, fast and handles great.

Less restriction of airflow. Some people may notice more throttle response.

I want one, but not certain about a 350 over a 450.
I mostly race MX, occasionally off-road. Currently have a ‘16 450 SXF (with AER) and a ‘16.5 250 SXF. Should I kick the 450 habit and go 350? I can ride the shit out of the 250, but never raced it. Feel like I need the 450 to be competitive. BTW I’m 5’10” 180-185 lbs.

Had a 15 FC 350 and put 80 hours into it without doing anything other than oil and filters, still looked prime when it was opened before sale.

Will that tank fit on the 19' 350 sx-f? thanks

Looks like I'm going to have to travel to get a deal. I've never bought a new bike because I know its not a financially sound decision, but I'm finally in a place where I have/am working my butt off and I can splurge a little but...It's so frustrating...

I have 2 dealers that are both an hour from me. One dealer has literally said point blank they don't give a shit about bike sales because they are a high volume side x side dealer, so I'm not even going to go there. A couple weeks ago I made the 2hr round trip to see if they had any deals on 18's or if the 19's had hit the floor at the other dealer. They had one 18 350xcf in stock. Their best price...$9,300 PLUS all the normal fees! It was right at 10k for an 2018 with the 19's hitting the floor. So seeing this thread made me think screw it I might just get a 19 then. Call them just now, Dealer: "No we don't have any 19's yet, but any day now." Me: "Do you have the 18 still in stock? Can you deal on it with the 19's hitting the floor?" Dealer: "Come on in we'll work you a good deal on it"

I'm not driving 2+ hrs again to hear that bs 10k for a leftover bike. Seeing MSRP on a new one is $10,499 I don't see anyway of them coming close to those prices above on a 2019.

Give them a call I drove almost 500 miles round trip for my KTM was well worth it. They move things pretty quick and what they tell you will be true out the door price. There a husky, Honda and Kawasaki dealer too. I wish I had more money they were blowing 18 kx250f out for 5789! There in Berkley springs WV. Ask for Harold. He's not very chatty he's straight to the point. In my view that's good no bs. I didn't see any 350 there but might have some on the way. Good luck with your search!

I got a brand new 17.... that hasn’t even ran hardly. It is literally unridden. Geared down. New RC high bends

Yes. I’m a loser.

Nice. Still riding the 18 and couldn't be happier. Never thought I'd say anything nice about air forks, but crap these things are nice.
