Red spring, Yellow Spring, Green Spring? What does all this mean? In today’s video, I’m covering the basics of what you need to know about these Auxiliary springs (also referred to as power valve springs).
Me personally, I prefer to use the Red spring since it lets the power valve open sooner than the other options. Yellow is okay. The green is not my cup of tea.
Keep in mind that this is for the carbureted bikes only. KTM doesn’t want us playing with the springs on the TPI bikes (fuel injected). The TPI bikes I have ridden ran really, really good anyway and I didn’t feel the need to change anything anyway.

    I switched out to the red spring after riding my 300 for 15 years. I should have done it sooner. I was used to 2T mx bikes and the red spring gives it the same kind of snap. It's easier for me to ride, I can stay much of the time in 3rd in the woods I ride - the transition from lugging to power is quick and that's perfect for me. PS I'm 65

    Kyle, thank you for taking the time to explain the characteristics of the springs. After reading the manual, I just expected the red spring to be the most erratic. But how you explained it, I now think it’s the spring I could benefit from the most.

    Thanks for the video. It pays to check the adjustment on a new bike, even though they come with the yellow spring. My new '18 300XC came with the Power Valve adjusting screw turned all the way in. Did not know that and took it for a spin around the neighborhood and was like WTF, this thing has no snap! Then I checked it, wound it out 6 turns (8 turns total from all the way in to all the way out) and it was much better. I generally run the power valve at 2 turns in from fully out. I also usually run the red spring on my 300s too as I live in Denver and ride at elevation. Also ran a Gnarly pipe too on my '13 TE 300. It was a little aggressive, even here in thin air land! I like it. Going with the yellow spring on the new bike to start as I am running an S3 head and Lectron on it, which will enhance the off idle snap, and looking to rev the far smoother counterbalanced bike more. I set my '13 up to be a bottom end beast to avoid having to rev it as much as possible, as it numbed my hands. Running the red spring, Lectron and the S3 head on the new bike might be a little much - baby steps, starting with the stock yellow one - LOL

    I’ve had 2 300’s, a 2004 MXC and currently 2013 XCW. I messed with spring and adjustment on both quite a bit. What I found with both was the factory setting is really best. Green spring is nice if you never get in the power band much, but when it does finally hit it’s always a surprise. I ran red for a couple of years (I typically ride hilly single track with some fast open sections) and found that traction suffered since it was a little harder to stay out of the big power down low. Yellow with a couple turns in let’s me stay out of the big power when I want to without the big hit when it does come in. I know right when it’s coming on though so it’s very useable.

    Hi Kyle, love the vids and can’t wait for some 300 tpi videos and reviews. With the power valve I done some research and chatted with Chris Birch in depth and this is what I have found out... all 3 springs open up at about 5650 rpm but the differences are at what rpm the power valve is full open. The green Spring starts to open at 5650 and is fully open at 8100 and the red spring opens at 5650 starts and is fully open at 7300. Yellow spring somewhere in the middle. What does this mean? Essentially the red spring is fully open the quickest giving you that “snap” or “hit” harder where the green spring makes the power valve open more slowly and therefore less “hit”. For riding...guys that ride the track and open country probably will prefer the yellow and red spring and guys the ride the slow, gnarly technical stuff will be better off with the green spring (less hit, less wheel spin, more traction). Like Birchy said if you want the hit and you are running the green spring it’s just a stab of the clutch to get the rpms up and the power valve is fully open. I think one of your other viewers commented that Jarvis runs the green spring and I wouldn’t be surprised. Birch says all the top guys will run the green spring and screw turned in! All true but now tpi bikes so not an issue. Ps. Chris did play with the springs on his 250 tpi, ran like crap and put back to stock! Enjoy the vids! Cheers!

    +Shawn Johnston 100% accurate. Most top enduro/scramble guys run the green spring bc traction is king, not necessarily the smile on your face for joy riding on the trails. If you have some nice wide open trails of course the Red spring is fun bc it goes from nothing to OH SHIT way faster. Not sure why Kyle said the red spring gives a more linear power as that doesn't make sense if you look at the RPM ranges as to where the power valve is fully open. Green spring is the most linear power, yellow next and red last. as far as FUN FACTOR for joy riding RED SPRING ALL DAY!!! really slippery wet/slow/rocky/rooty etc conditions green spring works best. Of course we all have our own opinions nd thats all they are. Everyone has different feel as well. I think my 300 TPI has way LESS hit than my 2018 Husky TX300. My buddy and I switched bikes for a couple hours and I rode the husky and I felt the TX300 with lectron carb had WAY MORE hit than the TPI but my buddy felt the exact opposite. I couldn't believe he kept saying the TX was smoother and less hit, but he truly felt it was. To each his own. We all like different things and feel things in a different way.

    The mapping in the controller depends on consistent and pre-known values to operate properly. When to change the power valve the controller is going to make changes to fuel mixture etc based on what the data SAYS is happening which will not be what is REALLY happening. To run effectively with a different power valve setup, you would need different mapping. One of the you can do is experiment with flywheel weight. WIth added flywheel weight the engine will spool up more slowly to higher RPM but have smoother more tractor like qualities at low RPM. On my carbuereted bike I like the red spring with an 11 oz flywheel weight. I get that "instant on" power hit but the extra weight smooths out the transistions and the timing of the rpm rise.

  • @AndrewBoundy

    Hmmmmmmm ... 1. There are two springs. The outer spring controls when the PV opens (at what RPM). This is controlled by the screw. The inner (coloured) spring controls how fast the PV opens when it does and is adjustable by spring type (colour/weight). A faster (lighter) inner coloured spring (red) will allow the PV to open more quickly and perhaps deliver a noticeable "jolt" whereas a stronger spring will make it slower and more linear. Power is the same, speed in which the power is delivered, differs. You also have a throttle that does that. 2. KTM tune the PV to 'begin' opening at a certain RPM - this is based on the harmonics of the exhaust expansion chamber as well as it's length, curves, back pressure and all sorts of other factors costing $-millions to develop. I seem to remember around 6K-rpm as being the number. Ask yourself - do you know more than KTM about fluid dynamics? If not, leave it at factory specs. If you're changing the breathing of the bike (intake/exh), maybe a PV tweak on a dyno. might find you something - maybe? 3. For trail riding, changing your PV settings (screw) won't make you faster - it'll probably depower the bike somewhere in the RPM range as it's now not to factory optimum specs. Any gains you get top-end may be felt at the bottom - power can be transferred but not created on a bike (or indeed, in physics). 4. Expert riders (not you or me because we're watching this) may set-up the bike differently depending on the specifics of the race/terrain. MX/SX/Enduro/SM may differ depending on the track. Open desert guys may need all top-end and little down low and technical guys may keep the PV closed longer to gain more low-end tq - whatever. Similarly, expert riders may like the feeling of a different speed spring - fair enough. If you're losing a podium by 1 second, sure, have your team look into it. The moral - honestly, like most of this stuff, leave it alone and/or make sure it's to factory specs - spend your time on the bike and your money on riding lessons from pros. Peace!

Power valve sits within the exhaust port, low rpm the valve reduces the ports size shape and flow allowing smooth low end torque, now when rpm increases the power valve is actuated opening up the port allowing more exhaust to flow out (and proportionally more fuel and air in ) and thus more power !! Now watch the video on how much variation and at what RPM does this change occur via the spring and preload on the spring

    It’s a fine balance for enduro, at slow speed you want controllable power for traction, that is achieved by keeping the power valve closed which retains back pressure equaling powers. As soon as you are on the gas and need more power, that’s when the power valve opens to let the exhaust gases escape quicker increasing power, hence why you get a surge of power on other two stroke bikes, you typically don’t get that sure on these bikes as they are designed and tuned in a way that the power is always there’s throughout the Rev range! It all depends on what your riding and how good a rider you are!,,

If you don’t know anyone with any, maybe check out a local riding club or race series and you’re guaranteed to find someone with one, and maybe even lucky enough to get some seat time!

    just trying to figure this out. i've got a 2019 250tpi and it just doesn't have the power i'd hoped for. i bought it 2nd hand and didn't get the owners manual and little bits that come with it, so i bought a zipped folder and manual for a 2018 250 tpi as its all i could find online. it turned up and inside the folder was the fuel line blanks for washing the bike with the tank removed and the red, yellow and green power valve springs. i'm trying to find out if they come with the springs as new. it wouldn't make sense to say don't touch the spring, and then supply them with the bike

    When I rode with Graham I asked him about how he runs his bikes. He runs them nearly bone stock. Yellow spring in the TE300 he was riding that day and every day. He's changing bikes so much that he wants them all to feel the same. Straight from his mouth... He didn't even want the people supplying the bike to him for the few days to even jet the bike for altitude, that is because he wanted it running "fat" for traction. He said put EVERYTHING back to stock form, but put the tires I want on there.

    FFS, get your facts right before you post this shit... green, yellow and red springs change the rpm at which the power valve is “fully” open red=lower, yellow=stock, green=higher. these are a fixed rpm, you can’t adjust them. the preload spring adjusts what rpm the power valve “starts” to open. this IS adjustable, 1 full turn in or out adjusts the “start” rpm by 150, clockwise=higher or anti-clockwise=lower.
