SHERCO vs KTM | Which is better for Enduro ?
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Both bikes are very good and each has advantages and disadvantages. KTM has long been a well known brand and a leader in the enduro world and racing. But Sherco proved to be a good competitor in the racing, for us hobby riders he is a very good dirtbike and comes with a lot more equipment than KTM.
Want a better suspension? Cheaper parts? More Traction?
Buy Sherco SE300
Want a more aggressive engine? More parts stores? Easier to sell later?
Buy KTM EXC300 TPI
KTM TPI is a very good dirtbike and very easy to use. You have two tanks that matter, one for fuel and the other for two stroke oil. You don’t have a problem with mixing fuel like you have on sherco. You can also tip over the dirtbike and the fuel will not leak under, which is good if you often crash or ride very extreme enduro tracks. You can save a lot of fuel when compared to a carburetor. Ktm with wp suspension has a big advantage when compared to sherco and kayaba. In the middle of the forest, you can manually adjust the suspension to your liking, if you want harder or softer. While with the kyaba this is a problem and a tool is needed for it, and even with the tool it is difficult to adjust the compression on the front forks.
But Sherco also has advantages, you can adjust the carburetor and adjust the engine to your wishes and riding style and on ktm tpi you cant do that. It is easier to ride in difficult conditions in hard enduro, and gives much more traction on the ground what is really important. KYB suspension is much more stable than WP, and is suitable for competition. Parts are much cheaper than for KTM, for us hobby riders this is very significant. Because this has become a very expensive sport in short time.

One weak point (relative to KTM) of the Sherco is the stock clutch. This can be resolved with a Rekluse Core Manual rebuild. The Sherco motor is better for super technical riding, especially for low end power and holding pressure/traction. KYB suspension is also better out of the box on the Sherco. But keeping a carb jetted in varying conditions is a bit of work. A Sherco 300 Factory, with Smart Carb and a Rekluse Core Manual Clutch is an awesome set up, but you are taking an already expensive bike, and then adding about $1500 more in aftermarket parts.
Good video, and I think you were very fair in your thoughts. Love my Sherco 300 SE, the TPI bikes that I've ridden just seem dull.
I have over 400 hours on my Sherco and it runs better then new. Hope they keep the carb as long as possible.
That's why I bought the last year of the carbed ktm 250xc 2019 and so glad I did .
Very interesting! Thank you! I’ve got husky 300 carburator 2017. Very Very good and simple to ride in difficult condition
Perfect video ! Best regards from chile 🇨🇱
I am a carburator fan on 2stroke bikes, you can feel diference when tunning the bike, i think the tpi system needs more fine tuning in the position the injector is, keep up the good work💪💪👍👍

Fully agree. The snowmobiles in that world, and Yamaha's new shown engine of 2024 300cc 2 stroke with fuel and oil injection and electric start will have the fuel injector in front of the reed cage, not in the transfer ports like KTM (a dumb idea).
Great Info! if you have experience with husky, would be good to have a comparison “husky vs Sherco”
Would never change my Sherco for a Ktm
I have had 3 ktm tpi bikes thay we're all good bikes and you can adjust the power valves they also have 2 ignition maps .all new bikes have growing pains sherco bikes have issues to as far as the tractibility of the tpi it's outstanding .as far as I'm concerned it's better than the carb bikes I have owned .

What about the 4 stroke models,, I am a normal intermediate rider,, ktm 350 exc or sherco 300 sef??
So, what are you getting next? I'm looking at Sherco or Rieju myself. I like that the Rieju still has the kick start. I've never ridden the Rieju (Gas Gas) but it seems like the Sherco has really good smooth torque for technical riding. Not sure about the GasJu power delivery and electric start reliability?

It seems like a ktm 500 but with better parts? And when i say better parts i mean not bling like the ktm 6days. My question is, would a 500 EXC-F be worth leaving for a 500 SEF?

Hi sister! 👋 Looks like a pleasant and competent mechanic and person. KTM has a 2 map system. The connector to connect / disconnect is under the fuel tank on the left side of the frame. Full power is MAP 1 with the single wire white connector connected. MAP 2 is with the connector disconnected. KTM sells a right side handlbar switch thumb operated to be installed that goes in series with the connector. MAP 1 is full power and MAP 2 retards the timing for a softer power delivery. No need to remove the fuel tank to access the connector if the switch is installed. MY KTM 300 TPI blew the engine completely at 7 hours of trail riding.

@@human1513 That sucks. I remembered back home in the Philippines when Toyota first introduced the D4D engines in their several line up. Whenever we encounter major problems in the engine like no start, black smoke, low power, stalling and the likes. The very first we do (if it is determined that the problem is in the fuel system) as instructed by Toyota is we have to replace the high pressure fuel pump, common rail, high pressure pipes, fuel filter and injectors as they couldn't determine the root cause yet.
Really like your clips mate Am going back to carburetor, easier to maintain Riding a Huski 150 i at the moment Love the playful nature of it I ride technical enduro but don’t do extreme stuff Am light and like light bikes, think 300 will be too much Beta or sherco 250 ? Even beta 200 ?, you should do a clip on this bike if you get a chance What you think ?

Maybe a Beta Xtrainer. 300 cc and light to. And not high.
Depends on what you can afford and availability of parts where you live to maintain each one.
you can use a smartcarb instead of carborator but they cost alot but no tuning except idle and fuel/air no jetting or piolet needle
Tpi bikes may seem simpler without mixing gas jetting ect but they do require more maintenance with all the sensors oil pump ect So its always a trade off !

Anything the comes from KTM is slow in coming. Son needs a head for his Husqvarna FX 350. Back ordered from Nov to April. That is not acceptable by any means. Ducati learned their lesson by not having a warehouse of parts in the USA.
Fuck oil injection, get a lectron, call it a day
Good video but... 1) you said that TPI has less low end throttle power delivery than carbs. I would agree that TPI is much "smoother" off throttle therefor feels less abrupt power wise off low end. 2) but you then said TPI is harder in hard enduro technical situations because its power delivery is too harsh. But this contradicts your first statement. TPI bikes are coined "goats" because they simply tractor up things with ease and smoothness of their power delivery. Carb bikes dont have those same smooth power characteristics. 3) You said there was nothing to indicate the oil pump was not functioning but I was to understand the ECU has an oil pump error code for signal too high and too low. Which was to tell the operator if the oil pump was functioning. I'll have to check into that...
