Largely due to your reviews of the 2023 300xc, I decided to upgrade my 2021 Husky 250i. Ended up with the 2023 TX 300. You were right. What a game changer. I don't know that in 40 years of riding, I've ever been as comfortable or confident on a stock bike.

You know you’re good when you make it all look so easy!
Very inspiring

Stoked to see the boys ripping so well! My son's on an 85, and it floors me when he pulls away at times!

Went with this kit for my son's 23 KTM 450 SXF (A rider MX). Haven't heard a bad thing about them yet. Just go everything back on the bike. Great video!

The 6500 inserts definitely shine in the slower technical gnar over the AER! Great video. Thanks for all your content.

Your boys are riding super good, man you must be one proud father.  
Take notes all you dads out there, spend time with your boys and that time will pay off!

Air forks are my favorite for play riding. Multiple revalves is how you get to "there" the better you get your bike working the more the expense is worth it. Platform pegs are an affordable luxury

[repoman]

You mentioned the fly fishing, but didn't show the strike indicator! 🙂 Was curious to see max travel you encountered on that ride.

Sold my bike kept the 6500 kit for the future bike. With the right springs and valving I’ve never had anything better.

You're doing a helluva great job with these videos, Morgan. I'm abut ready to pull the trigger on anew 23 300 XC. Might do this upgrade next year. Or not. Thanks.

Trust me, from a guy that has rode the same type of terrain you ride. As Soon as I noticed the speed you were going over some of that stuff, I said to myself ….that dude that there is definitely in the “A class .”

My 2021 was 10000.00 bucks. (New in 2021) For as much as they charge for the bike it shouldn’t take 1500 more just for the forks. Maybe a revalve not whole new guts. Also my 250 TPI motor took money to get it as good as a carburetor bike. I’m keeping this bike I have but never getting another new KTM.

[scottphillips]

And to be honest I would buy your kid a gasgas mc250 and put a keihin/fmf pipe combo on it. The 19 to 22 frame with a balancer engine is still legit. Then the yz125 would become an heirloom/spare bike. We don't have everything in common but we have a lot in common. 23 XC300 is the 1st new bike I would buy. I would ultimately gut the forks. The difference between big tanks is marginal, but I am an over 3 gallon minimum for a smoker. Have you considered an ohlins shock?

Can’t wait for you to make my new KTM 450 xcf-w dreamy. This bike is gonna be cool

[grutzmac]

Long term review on these? Don’t see one on your channel. Holla!!!

[suzukig]

I have a '23 300xc and I'm just finishing up breaking it in (6 hours on it now). My only real complaint is that it knifes under in 3rd/4th gear deep sand (yes, I'm in Michigan). Not sure if the front is too soft (even though I've got over 2½" of unused front travel) or maybe the rear has too much compression. But on hard pack I'm happy with the suspension.

[scottphillips]

In my opinion a stock bike is a foundation. I anticipate dropping 2 to 3 grand on set up. I 100% appreciate your input. After watching your clown ass I am now a believer in the 6500 kit.

Timing couldn’t be better for this video. I’m at a crossroads with my 2019 FX350, it’s due for fork service… feeling really harsh and sticky now. I feel like I loved them when the bike was new but now at 100 hours. I rode a 2022 250xc with stock xact suspension and it felt soo much more plush than mine. Again I know mine are due for service so that’s not a real comparison. This weekend I rode a 2023 300 xc with stock valving but with racetech spring conversion and WOW!!! It was so nice I don’t have words. I rode it though the same whoops and Rocky section I had just gone through on mine and it was night and day difference. I’m trying to decide between inntech glide kit and refresh my suspension at the same time, or racetech spring conversion with also refreshing everything else… or going with some inserts like this. What is your opinion? @highlandcycles

[brianmullins]

Good stuff Morgan! I LOVE my 6500 kit!

Curious...have you tested it or know anyone who has tested the FMF Fatty on the new 300?

[scottphillips]

It looks like the Shock on your kids bike has some Yama hop
