TE/TC Adding a TE300 to the Stable

Picking up a 15' TE300 Saturday sounds like everyone is digging this bike. I'll still have my FE350. Have a Rekluse core exp, HD Slavens clutch spring, pipe guard, rad guards, lectron, map switch, fastway stabilizer mount, g2 barkbusters and another set of full works Kreft suspenders! Should be pulling wheelies in no time!
I've ridden quite a few 300's and they all feel similar except a buddies 300 xcw which was apparently set up to run like a 200, guessing powervalve and map was set on full sissy.
I've read a bunch of bullet proofing threads which seems pretty standard. How are you guys liking your set ups? Gearing for tighter enduro and hare scrambles, power valve settings, and pipe silencer combos? The new FMF rct 2.1 looks sweet! I'll be needing a spark arrestor silencer eventually. Anyway looking forward to ripping on this thing and owning a 300 again! It'll be nice being able to swap basically everything back and forth off the two bikes!

Great bike, I liked my p/v set at stock but I like a linear power... if you like you can make it full wheelie mode.... you will just have to deal with suspension

I can tell you my buddy and I rode some tough technical single track last weekend. He on his ktm350 and I on the Husky Te300. He was way more wore out than I was after about 30 miles and was tapping out. We are in similar physical conditioning so I know it was the difference in the bikes. Interesting because these two bikes aren't that far out weight wise. It must have something to do with the rotating mass of the four stroke.

you suck chums. clearly you are making too much coin

is full sissy a factory setting for nancy boys?

Haha I was just surprised by how much these ktms and Huskys can be turned down power wise! Getting this bike wasn't without sacrifice, I had to let my kx500 Aluminum Frame go, sad and happy all at once!

I'd agree that a 300 is much easier on me than my 350, the 350 is always in the wrong gear for me and I ring its neck and it sounds like your going fast but in reality I'm faster bogging a 2 stroke than flailing on a 350. The 350 does come in handy for hilly races and some mud races though.

thats a brutal choice mate. 300 more practical but when are males really practical?!

Put a couple more hours on the 300, I was a little surprised at the lack of brute power on the bottom end but I've been playing with powervalve springs and adjusting the dolly screw. Seems like my bike has the most manageable power and smoothness with yellow spring about 3 turns in and probably the most power and smoothest with red spring about 2 1/4 turns in on aggressive map and lectron everything else stock.
Definitely gets with the program with the red spring!
The skinny rear at81 had to go it just couldn't hold the corners as well as the wider one I threw on and being 225lbs I went a tooth bigger on rear sprocket which is just enough that I can bog through a corner and wack the gas and it'll perk up and zing without any clutch input. Hopefully the race results show an improvement over the 350??
