    No kidding! Carbs, 4CS forks.......comments like "its un-rideable"..........with the stock carb, or forks....are you kidding me!?

    When I think of the inferior (in fear of your) equipment I use to ride fast back in the old days.....todays bikes are a dream.

    My 86 KX500........old 89 CR500.......or even an old Suzook TM400 Cyclone. Gawd!

    Just ride!!! Unless your a pro or AA rider........it's all a moot point. Close enough for most mortals!

    I disagree^^^^^ I was a decent speed Senior A guy and my 14' TE300 forks sucked ass big time.... I went back to my 86 430xc with 43mm WP forks on it.....

    Mikuni is a good carb.... my WR300 and all my husky 125/144/165 have them without an issue..... like Robert said stop piddling with your bike and ride the damn thing....

    As far as the forks for me.... its a safety thing.....

    Living and riding in MN where we ride in temps from 95 degrees down to -10, you couldn't pay me enough to use a TMX. Maybe they are better now? I suspect Keihin switching focus to efi is the real reason though. Or maybe Lectron is paying KTM to do this?

    I don't care what issues it has...my 15 forks sucked so I sent em out and problem is solved and I absolutely love that bike! So I'm sure I'll have one of these in time! They all have things we personally don't like about them but that doesn't mean this bike isn't gonna be efffing sweet!

    isnt the TX going to be the same as KTM's XC Model the one with linkage, does say in the description its designed for closed circuit racing and cross country, and not enduro like the TE models Thats why it has the AER forks so closed circuit racing usually involves some MX style jumps .
    My bet is the TE models will keep the 4Cs or go to the new WP Xplor forks, which where just released on the new KTM's but they look like they a similar design to 4CS

    Im having my second thoughts on the TX version due to the SX/MX AER forks. The TE now has the latest evolution "X-Plor" forks, from what I understand are well done very evolved 4CS types.

    Placed a deposit on one Friday can't wait to get the bike. Hoping the AER forks don't suck and am alittle worried about them.If i don't like them i'll be looking into putting my 4cs forks on it and go from there.
