This has been my dream bike for several years and I finally got to ride it last month. It was literally unbelievable. I couldn't believe that a bike like it could even exist. Compared to my WR426 sumo it was a rocket.

lol , it hammers alright , i had 3 of them . rip it and grip it ,!

I know quite a few Yanks who change oil every 1200 to 1500 miles and have more than 12,000 miles without a piston change. Valves hardly ever actually need adjustment so a much m,ore practical bike than you might think.Buying one myself very soon to replace a 690 ER. Same power but at least 80 pounds lighter, what is not to love about that?

I got one for myself for Christmas, God I love it. The power is great, they ride is great, and of road it's incredibly.

Its great isnt it, my favorite Enduro currently!

I have 67 hours on mine and I've done 1 service never checked the valves. I'm doing it different on this one as my other bikes I've done the services on time and under. I want to see if it gets to 200 hours with very basic 3 services and strip the engine to see how that's impacted on the engine compared to the my well serviced bikes.

Being from Australia I always find it funny how British people just can’t off-road, basically because there isn’t any...

You covered the important information - the service interval is way too short for this bike to be used for me as a dual sport. That's an oil change and valve adjustment every other day. No thanks. Good review.

dahveed284 See my comments above.

Lay the bike to left on the ground letting the fuel move down to the bottom left hand side of tank and stand it up and ride off. Fuel tank is designed lower on the left then right to give you that little bit more fuel for moments like this.

My 2019 KTM 500 EXC F sounds a lot more aggressive, loud and snappy then this when you give it more throttle. But on that all restrictions in the air intake and exhaust have been removed and that made a huge difference (ECU was already programmed for that). The 500 is a beast and it feels a lot more powerful then my old Yamaha WR450 while power comes on more controllable and it feels more light and have better breaks. It is scary powerful and I love it :)

but a service is a bottle of oil and 20 mins of your time - it is nothing and in fairness the intervals rated are for hardcore riding - you can easily double them with ZERO worry, my sxf 450 as an example gets a service every 10 rides and that might be 35-45 hours, it is 100% and i have had it since 2013... 🙂

What camera are you using?! The picture quality is exceptional!

The way that he is riding this bike there is no need for such short intervals for maintenance. Change the oil before it starts to look black and ride the shit out a it my wr250f has 50 hour intervals for valve checks it now has 13000 kms on it and only one valve adjustment since brand new as long as it starts and idles fine then valves are prly still good

You should try the husky 450 or ktm 450 6 days. They have the same power but weigh even less! You also get the map switch, which can turn the traction control on/off. Side note - I ran my 450 out of fuel just after attending a bike meet and leaving spiritedly. The fuel light means you basically have no fuel left lol!

pretty sure he was fumbling with the numbers when he said that. AFAIK the 500 excs usually have about 45-48 hp or so, which seem to be closer to just above 50 hp when you fix the mapping and airflow on it from what ive read. the only lightweight SM bike i know of that pulls 60+ hp numbers is the Aprilia SXV 550 (which ppl claim actually pulls 70(!) hp, in addition to weighing less than the exc?)

Service on the 2019 is 150 hours for valve inspection not 15 when not racing (if I remember correctly, but it is for sure not that often)... Service intervals on the KTM 500 at leas on the 2019 is not that close according to what it say in manual, mostly only oil changes that is done often :) If you are not riding hard at high revs valves usually do not need adjusting for a long time.

Some people say the vibes are bad on the 300rr on street but I figure Flexx bars can help with that. However, I'm also throwing around the idea of getting a 18' 500 EXC but the 15 hr valve adjustments turn me off but most people say it's fairly easy and the valves are usually always in spec. What I like about the 300rr 2 stroke is it's simple maintenance, oil injection (no mixing oil and fuel), just an easy top end every 150 hrs, that 2 stroke hit of power, unique sound and super lightweight bike. What do you think? The 2 stroke will not be used for the highway but local roads and backroads. Thanks for the reply! I appreciate it.

I borrowed the ktm 250 tpi, I have a review on the channel. It's an incredible bike and so light. Even though curb weight isn't that different between the 500 exc and 250 tpi the two stroke feels so much lighter as engine rotating mass is so much less so changes direction quicker. But your right so many people told me forget the 15 hour vavle check on the 500 it's allways in spec just change the oil and check valves every 6 months. I think the job is pretty quick too.. it's seriously tough call between the tpi and 500 fours, two strokes do sound lovely though and probably thier days are numbered as they will never be able to meet emissions law in a few years so buy one while you can I recon 😎😎

+dr. Doeslittle it's the exact same engine on the 2016 701 and 690. There are suttle differences, the 2017 701 has the new duke 690 engine and that does make more power..

Lamb Chop Rides ok confirms i still need that damn 701. Im not familiar with the stage kit hes refuring to. Didnt know they made stage kits. Anythings gotta be lighter and more powerful then my adventure pig (klr).

Keep your electronics out of my off rd vehicles. Next year it’ll come with wifi and Bluetooth and nobody will rightfully reject KTM for it.

Can you test ride the 300exc tpi?

62 HP according to www.enduroworld.co.za/2016/07/02/2017-ktm-exc-xc-w-first-impressions/ . Why do they hide thees numbers? After 30 min of googling I finally found a link to the data in a youtube comment section. Was impossible to find weigh and HP data anywhere the only numbers I care about, I do not need to or want to know bore / stroke and all kinds of fine data about the engine like that...

Wasn't there any reserve petrol tank?

+WoodysMoto no reserve as it's fuel injected. Has a fuel light and a see through plastic tank so no excuse I was an idiot 😂😂

i have ran out of gas like 2 times in a month while on my way to the gas station but thank god my 530 is carbureted xD

School boy error !!!

ktm claims 63hp at the crank but it's nowhere near that, dyno runs i've seen put it in the high 40s stock. Low 50s can be achieved with the 450 sxf exhaust, a minor airbox mod and a fuel injection tune (JD jetting efi tuner).

Only key is for the steering lock.

Wow chopsy I know this is an old video but damn that sweet bike has attracted all the foreigners and bombarded your channel with some shitty comments. Ignore the trolls they're not your real fans. So what you aint going balls out on a borrowed 500 4stroke ! Main thing is you're having fun and that's what it's all about.
