Best Dirt Bike for Short Riders: KTM Freeride 250R Modified For Single Track

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The 2015 KTM Freeride 250 R is an awesome and unique two-stroke dirt bike that is a hybrid between a trials bike and a full-size MX bike. It's also on the smaller side, so it's a great starting point for shorter dirt bike riders who need a lower seat height.
Sadly, in stock form, the bike doesn't run well, does not work particularly well in any particular riding scenario, and still has a seat height that is too tall for anyone under 5'6." This bike is being built for SourceADV host, Mark Jackson's, father so he can comfortably learn singletrack dirt bike riding because he is right around 5'6".
The bike will be optimized for single-track dirt bike riding using the following parts:
• 28MM SmartCarb
smartcarb.com/shop/smartcarb-...
• Lowered & Revalved Suspension By EnduroSpec
www.endurospec.com/
• Scalvani Exhaust Pipe from Slavens Racing
slavensracing.com/shop/ktm-fr...
• Goldentyre GT333 Rear Tire & Bridgestone M59 Front
• Tubeliss Tire System
SmartCarb Installation Video on Yamaha YZ250X:
• SmartCarb - SC2 - INST...
The Freeride runs so much better with the 28MM SmartCarb, new pipe and airbox modification.

    @mateuszstrzelczyk5408 - proponuje ci odrazu szukać zestawu od ktm exc 300 - cylinder, tłok oraz boczny dekiel wraz z zaworem wydechowym. Taki zestaw plus wydech scalvini oraz duży filtr powietrza nawet na oryginalnym gazniku robi supero robote i jest warte kazdych pięniędzy :) Powodzenia !

    In the spring I want to put on jd jetting to the serial carburetor. I have modifications to the air filter housing, Excel takasago black wheels with mousse, PHDS handlebar mount, lion battery, led light. For this I plan to modify the rear brake, there is almost a "matching" caliper from ali - I will try to install it and for that a master cylinder from exc model. All the time I am looking and hunting for scalvini, 7-8 HP is a lot, do you think it is worth it? Greetings!

    Smart carb said opening up the Airbox and then going richer is what actually drives most of the power. It’s definitely a different bike with a lot more umfff

    I'm having a hard time finding info on whether the freeride has a counterbalanced engine or not.

    It does not, the counterbalanced engine came to KTM on the 2017 KTM 250/300 XCW engines, this engine is based on the older architecture. Vibration is not crazy though.

    How’s it been going with the bike? I’m thinking about picking one up for my girlfriend so hopefully it’s reliable enough for a beginner

    It’s great for my old man. It might honestly be a bit spicy for a true beginner with the pipe and air box mod (drilling a bunch of holes in the air filter case). SmartCarb sends a richer rod for that. Honestly, I’m kinda kicking myself for not getting my dad a KTM Freeride electric or surron electric to start out on so he could just get a feel for dirt riding on milder power with no maintenance.

    @@SourceADVi ended up getting a 250r. You’re right it’s pretty powerful, revs out very quickly though. My girlfriend has some experience, she’ll definitely have to grow into this bike power wise- fit is great. I have a smart carb sc2 as well. Do you still run 80:1?

    @tobytwiss nice! Yeah man, it’s got some good low mid, fun bike. Yeah still 80:1, smartcarb guys confirmed that. Cheers!

    We're you able to run the inline filter that's included with the smartcarb? I just installed one on my Freeride and the fuel line is too short to the petcock to fit the in line filter. Also, when I open the choke it interferes with the petcock valve. Same issue on yours?

    I picked up a right angle fuel filter that worked better and just shaved a little bit of the choke knob off on one side with a box cutter to get better clearance. Do yourself a favor and just pull the pipe off if you need to do clicker adjustments versus pulling the tank off.

    ​@@SourceADVWhat did you set the clicker to on your SC? Mine came at 85 from full rich. I've been messing with it, but not finding the sweet spot. I tried 95 and 105. What did you settle on?

    @mskahn2002 I’m still getting it 100% dialed but I have gone a lot leaner, I think like 110+ or so and 1-2+ turns in on the idle screw
