Quick 2024 KTM 450 SX-F Factory Edition Update/Walk Around

We have been pounding out the motos on the east coast with the 24' KTM 450 FE. I will walk you through quickly on some of the things I have learned/noticed at 14 hours on the orange brigade Factory Edition. From engine delivery, chassis updates, bolts backing out and everything in between. If you're looking for a more in depth update, listen to the RMATVMC Keefer Tested Podcast on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts.

Thank you for another good, informative video. I’m a huge fan of your podcasts and articles that you write. You put in the time and effort and your articles and videos reflect that. So hi to the family and please, please more “Coffee with the Keefers” it’s the best podcast…..

Thank you for giving me permission and telling me where to leave a comment, Kris.

Excellent review this is the kind of info prospective buyers need.

Thanks for another informative video! Great to see you riding east coast dirt with green grass and trees! KTM sure makes 60hp easy to ride!

My bolts came loose just like yours. Lost one bolt. Beautiful

[MClyne]

Very informative thanks Kris! I have a question tho, if you had 14k, would you buy one of these or a yz450f with mods to equal 14k?

Well for the chain slack we might be able to get people a bit help so they can set it more according to what does give the most rip..

Thanks for the video I was waiting for, but it's normal to tighten all the bolts on a new motorcycle and regrease everything

[mattcash]

You should come race some east coast races.

[davidtucker]

Kris, will the chain slack measurement also apply to the same year 250sxf FE?

[deanhendrix]

I have a 350 sxf and it is a beast. Almost too much to handle without experience.

[Joe-pblx]

I own an i fit modern forks on it? have 1984 xr350 forks on it now or are you too young to know that and i should ask 64 and want the forks to work good out in the

[dericwalker]

Do you think 350 with a little bit of love could compete against it ?

[DTM]

Spend $14, 000 and it is necessary to spend additional funds on the forks?? I don’t get it.

[brentyancich]

Im sure its an unpopular opinion but for $14k Id expect the stock suspension to pretty darn good for more riders . The bike looks insane but adding 6500 kit or similar will add another $1500 -$2500 to the bill, and I can't see used market embrassing super expensive used machines after 3-4 years of ownership

[Joe-pblx]

interesting you say this bike it annoying enough that you had to bring it up?

[mrrandy]

no air forks for that bike in 2025 which I am happy about

[crowe]

Oh sweet. Another expensive factory edition with shitty air forks. Where do I sign
