Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By TN-MadDog: I’m pretty happy with it so far but only have 150 mikes on it and still going easy on it during the break in period. Rode up in the mountains on forest roads yesterday and it did fine. I’m a little impatient to get some more miles on it before really seeing what it will do. My impression so far is that there will probably be times when I will wish it had more power but I doubt there will ever be a situation where it doesn’t have enough power to do what I want to do. It’s so much lighter and maneuverable than the KTM 790 that I had. Much more capable for the type of riding that I like. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/35314/7A45DBE2-1E14-4F9E-A61A-0A3B19300EBE_jpe-2239586.JPG https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/35314/3997C705-77CC-4339-8EEE-26A174DA79CB_jpe-2239587.JPG https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/35314/B9C9CD64-9874-47C5-AC21-995FD2C71EEC_jpe-2239588.JPG https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/35314/FCBA7E9B-466E-444E-BB52-2CAA75826C7F_jpe-2239589.JPG I'd have bought one if it had a fuel gauge. Ended up staying with Honda, CRF300l. |

The injection update will only be on the xcs. Buy a Sherco or a Beta. More bang for the buck and carbed so they won’t have all the bullshit injection issues. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By dirtyboy: What is TPI? Never had to fix an EFI. Carbs are always a mystery, take apart, clean and pray that whatever was wrong got fixed. TPI is like....sorta half assed EFI. It's almost like TBI from cars; where an injector sprays into the manifold. However, the oil is sprayed from the bottom up of the engine, creating an aerosol mix of oil on the bearing surfaces, where gas is sprayed top down in the transfer ports. It's a system stolen from Bombardier / Can-Am Snowmobiles. What it does is cause much, much less oil to be burned in a 2 stroke engine - an equivalent mix ratio might be 100-110:1 This didn't come about because TPI is so much better than Carburation - it came about because 2 Strokes are struggling massively to meet Euro 5, and KTM makes too many motorcycles to meet regulation - ergo; they must figure a more "green" way to make the bikes. The downside is it's a much, much more complex system that has injectors, crankcase pressure sensors, airflow sensors, and the like that can and most importantly do go bad. It's literally possible to have a 15 hour bike blow up because your oil injector quit working and you had absolutely no way of knowing, trashing the bottom and top end of your $12,000 motorcycle. You can't just "mix" the gas like you could on the old Yamahas of yesteryear either - these bikes won't work on mixed gas. TPI is a necessary evil. If we can get to true D-EFI in a 2-Stroke (extremely, extremely unlikely due to pressure and timing constraints); there's a possibility we could get back to the reliability of the old ways; however that would move to a closed bottom end system. It's a fuckin' shame too. My 2018 KTM 300 XCW is probably my favorite machine I've ever put a leg over, and I used to be big into performance quads and such. I rarely describe machines as "magic" - but the last generation of carb'd and counterbalanced KTMs were frankly - fucking magic.  KTM's TPI! - and how it works |

That being said everyone was or is running a lectron because ktm fucked the carbs up when they dumped keihin. Supposedly they have the crank pressure sensor ordeal squared away but they are ditching tpi on the xcs for 23 and on the ws for 24. 1. Sure. But bikes made in limited numbers means limited numbers of parts, too. It's the knock on effect of being a more "niche" brand. Sherco makes about 15,000 bikes worldwide. KTM makes about 230,000. The internet exists - but finding parts for more niche bikes is difficult. 2. Everyone bitches about the TMX38 - but I haven't had any issues. Carbs are beyond the intelligence of most folks - and frankly; they were for me too - until about a year ago. I would say I'm getting around 95% of the performance of a SC2 or Lectron. Bike kicks ass. Follow the instructions in the manual for your altitude is the best thing I can tell anyone with a carb'd KTM. No fancy jet kits, no specialty needles. Literally - what came in the kit; about 15 minutes spent playing with Air/Fuel/Idle and doing two plug chop tests. 3. Yep. Going to TBI. I presume it's to avoid the whole issue entirely. I presume that they're going to change how the TBI works to stop motors from exploding. In a TBI setup, you can use premix. |

Nothing wrong with the TPI bikes from KTM/Husky/GasGas.
My 2019 300 XC-W tpi still runs great (Even better with the GET ECU, Gnarly pipe, red powervalve spring and the high compression head). For 2023 KTM released an SX300 with EFI fuel injection and an electronic power valve. No more oil injection either, back to premix. https://www.ktm.com/en-us/models/mx/2-stroke/ktm-300-sx-2023.html https://www.ktm.com/en-us/models/enduro/2-stroke/ktm-300-xc-2023.html  |

Sit and think about that for a second. A stock KX500 makes about 63. A Stock CR500 is somewhere between 55 and 60. A modern 500cc 2-Stroke by a major manufacturer would be fucking terrifying. |

I am not saying that the TPI bikes are the "best of the best", they are what they are. I have friends who bought the Athena GET Fuel Injector Relocator kits, I have friends who ditched their 2019's and bought the 2020's with the two crankcase sensors. I have a friend who sold his 2019 and bought a leftover 2018 carbed Husky 300. No one has moved on to a different bike because of how "shitty" the TPI bikes are. Like I said, my 2019 XCW 300 TPI with an Athena GET ECU works pretty damn well. I do like your Sherco, I would not kick it out of bed for eating crackers. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By KA3B: Strange how none of the KTM/Husky dealers couldn't / can't keep TPI bikes in stock. Some have issues, some don't. They have been out long enough that they are known issues. I am not saying that the TPI bikes are the "best of the best", they are what they are. I have friends who bought the Athena GET Fuel Injector Relocator kits, I have friends who ditched their 2019's and bought the 2020's with the two crankcase sensors. I have a friend who sold his 2019 and bought a leftover 2018 carbed Husky 300. No one has moved on to a different bike because of how "shitty" the TPI bikes are. Like I said, my 2019 XCW 300 TPI with an Athena GET ECU works pretty damn well. I do like your Sherco, I would not kick it out of bed for eating crackers.

Like I said, I have several buddies I ride with who gave up on ktm/husky 2 strokes because of the tpi issues. The crank case sensors were the culprit every time and were impossible to get. No one was seizing them, they just never ran right. Friend sold his 2020 300 with 25 hours on it moved on to a 500. I sold my 2020 with 50 hours on it and moved on to a 501. Another buddy bought an 18 te 300 to replace his 14 ktm instead of buying new. Throttle body injection should fix it but most guys i ride with are getting tired of ktms price increases with no apparent quality/durability increases. |

  Pics don’t do it justice but rode a 40 mile loop at a poker run in the cascades today. I didn’t stop and take any pics but it was my first time riding any legit exposure. couple sections were rock face on your right, steep, long, bike destroying drop on your left, and 3-4’ of trail to keep you safe. Such a blast. |

Riding video from a couple months ago:
 XR400 and a YZ450F at Green Mountain On this guy:  2003 XR400R. I rebuilt it in 2019 with a 10.5:1 piston and stage one cam, tons of power everywhere. Converted to dual sport last month and she's currently saving my ass from gas prices throwing down low 60's mpgs hauling me to work and back:

 Ride last night. Started at about 6:00PM and we pulled back into my buddy's garage at 12:35. We quit because I ran out of fuel. Should have jammed more into the bike instead of just saying "eh, it's full enough". |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By camarojsmith: I was told ‘79 but he wasn’t sure. Got it for free but looking toward to getting into it. I parked it in the back corner of the shed for now though. That looks older, I had a yz400 in the late 70's and it had mono shock, aluminum swing arm. https://dirtbikemagazine.com/mx-history-the-yz400-two-stroke/ |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By dirtyboy: What is TPI? Never had to fix an EFI. Carbs are always a mystery, take apart, clean and pray that whatever was wrong got fixed. Jinxed myself. CRF250L won't run, fuel injection doesn't sound right when you turn the key on. Only has 18,000 hard miles on it, 2014. Parked it and am on the crf300l now. Slightly better power and suspension plus everything works. |

My youngest and I went for a ride Saturday morning. There was a lot of rain Friday, so the trails were pretty washed out and rutted. Lots of fun!
