New bike

[phil.hughes1983]

Off to have a look at a ktm 300exc tomorrow and just wondering if anyone is using one for a trail bike.

I have heard that they are very tuneable and I really fancy a 2t before all the eu laws ban them completely.

I understand that they are juicy on fuel but there are options with bigger tanks etc.

When I get this I will be looking into doing some events also.

Cheers phil

Plenty of peeps trail ride a 300 smoker, sort out the jetting and they can be fairly economical, wack a big tank on and you could easily do 130 miles on one tank.

I loved mine, bit of an old girl, but the as they say, 'they have more throttle, than you have bottle' Golden barns ok for ragging it around.

Doesn't sound like the jetting is a problem Phil! How's the fuel consumption?

[phil.hughes1983]

Fuel consumption is high but possibly normal after reading other peoples reviews. I got 40 miles before hitting reserve. I was riding with a bit of gas as it's a new toy and we all get carried away. I have adjusted the float level slightly as think it may be slightly rich

Pics or you haven't got it!

Give Luke Bull a shout on here - he knows his onions on setting these up.

[Todd5774]

Very nice, definately get yourself a bigger tank, means you can have fun without the worry.

Don't find the fueling on mine to bad
Mind you I didn't clock the miles but had a great time

[Luke B]

You should be doing nearly double that mileage on a tank of fuel.
Float height has nothing much to do with fuel consumption.
