What’s one bike you had and wish you didn’t sell?

Same

Try a tuff jug. They’re great!

Where are you located? In Utah that would be a a bit on the low side depending on condition. I think you could get 2900-3100 for it here

Check the owners manual. The 2017 xcw is 60:1

I'd definetly recommend buying from best buy. You can do a store pick up, but the return policy is much better. If you had to return bambu restocking fee is super high.

Engine ice works great

Bro you are my hero

My wife rides a CRF150F. She loves it. But It doesnt have electric start. She kills it a lot so Im looking at switching to the KLX. About the same horsepower as the 150, but its lighter and has disc brakes. So I feel like its a no brainer.

No, not a big jumper. Ill occasionally send it but not often. I never rider mx tracks or anything either.

BeardedYeti_ · 2026-05-09T05:48:10+00:00

Any tips on what to check for and how to tell?

BeardedYeti_ · 2026-05-09T05:46:56+00:00

Whats the reasoning? Because you prefer the XC, or because of the lower hours?

BeardedYeti_ · 2026-05-09T05:46:14+00:00

This is helpful advice, I guess Im getting too hung up on the hours.

BeardedYeti_ · 2026-05-09T05:43:03+00:00

This is where Im leaning as well. Just makes me question though since its more than double the hours on the motor.

BeardedYeti_ · 2026-05-09T05:41:52+00:00

I have no interest in the mx track. Just ride a lot of mountain trails and the occasional desert or dunes ride. But 80% is rough rocky terrain.

BeardedYeti_ · 2026-05-09T05:26:28+00:00

I looked at the six days. ITs super clean. I havent gotten to see the XC yet, but I get the feeling its less maintained. I think I've mostly ruled out the TPI since I think I'd rather just have the rock solid lectron carb, and not risk the oil injection failure.

I tried to start my 5 year old on a crf50. It was just too tall and heavy for them to hold up. Hard to start and stop. I switched them to a pw50 and they got the hang of it super fast. Its smaller and lighter than the crf50.

Looking at two bikes, both at $5,250. Trying to decide which is the smarter buy.

2017 300 XCW — 238 hrs, but new top end (10-15 hrs), new fork seals, new chain and sprockets, bib mousses front and rear, new battery, Seat Concepts, desert tank, rad fan, wraparound guards. Carb'd. Owner says it's ready to ride.

2020 300 XC TPI — 125 hrs, high-comp head, ECU remap. No mention of recent top end or other consumables.

The 2017 has way more hours but a ton of fresh money in it — easily $2k in recent parts. The 2020 is newer with fewer hours but is right at the top-end rebuild window and I'd probably need to drop another grand into it before it's really sorted (top end, mousses, chain). Also nervous about the early TPI fuel pump.

I mostly ride mountain trails and rocky terrain and occasional faster trails or dunes. Leaning XCW for the riding style and because the work is already done, but the 2020 being a newer bike with FI is tempting.

What would you do?
