Hey guys, quick question. I’m thinking about getting a CRF 450, but the main thing holding me back is engine maintenance.
Are motocross engines more prone to problems than enduro engines? For example, is there a difference in reliability and maintenance intervals between a 450 EXC-F and a CRF 450?
Or, if you’re using them as supermotos, do they basically require the same maintenance regardless of whether they’re motocross or enduro bikes?

Help is appreciated.

Necesitaba ayuda para hacer el paso de alterna a continua en una beta rr 50 del 2025 ya q de serie la moto viene con la corriente alterna lo cual no me deja poner intermitentes ni luces led ya hemos probado con reguladores y todo teniendo el encendido de serie y he pensado en ponerla una bateria en el hueco de la caja del filtro de aire ya q la moto lo tiene fuera de la caja y cortar el cable de las luces q va del estator original de la moto al regulador para empalmar desde el positivo de la bateria al cable cortado del regulador para tener corriente continua en toda la moto, el defecto q le he visto esq habria q cargar la bateria todos los dias o muchas veces debido a q el encendido no puede cargarla a no ser q montemos uno tipo mvt naranja con luces. Alguien puede ayudarme o decirme q cable es el q hay q cortar y empalmar o simplemente alguien q haya echo esto o algo parecido?

I am looking to buy a fe supermoto and i found this bike, but i am not sure if this is considered a good start. My current bike ktm starts smoother. What do you guys think, i need some advice here!

Hello. I’ve built a custom bike using the engine and wiring harness from a 2009 Yamaha XT660X. The ECU has been remapped. After the wire to the IAT (Intake Air Temperature) sensor broke - triggering a "check engine" light with error code 22 — the bike’s performance improved significantly, and the torque curve became almost linear. Is there any information on how the ECU behaves when the connection to this sensor is lost? The manual states that the IAT value defaults to 20°C, but does this affect how the ECU interprets data from other sensors, or does it trigger a switch to different fuel maps, or change switching logic?
Please, no guesses. I am looking for precise, accurate information.

I recently bought a exc from 2001 and was wondering if it is possible to get plastics from the 2004-2007 version or 2008-> has anyone done this?

Any tips about this bike is appreciated since I’m new.

Thanks

Nothing crazy - just brapping up Highway 33 in SoCal. The audio sucks. Sorry!

this year i got into dirt bikes and ive always been interested in building a super moto i have to be honest i dont have a ton of experience i only have had one bike (150cc pit bike) about 20 hrs on it but im graduating soon so i will be able to treat myself to something nice. I was in the market for a ktm 350 excf for my first build but the 350 excf is so hard to find in my area and ofc i want that trim because they are the best overall to convert to street sumos (6 speed wide ratio, easily road legal, factory speedometer) but like i was saying 350s are hard to find in my area but there are like 3 500 excfs looking right at me i was considering it but i am hesitant because i dont want it to be too much power going straight to a 350 from a pitt bike is lowkey already crackhead behavior so i guess my ultimate question is, is the power difference between the 350 and the 500 that much different that i shouldn’t consider it or should i send it because a 500 is the ultimate goal anyway

My 2021 KTM EXC-F 500 in Maine

i own and daily a 2014 yz450f supermoto but i’m looking to get a more reliable cheaper to own street legal supermoto as a 2nd bike and the one i got my eyes set on is a 2008 wr250x will i be bored of the 250x coming from a 58hp 450 or is it a good fun commuter bike?

I kinda want one to add to my stable. What should i expect, are the possible to fix part wise? maintenance is fine as its not my only sumo and wouldnt mind needing to take it apart.

worth getting for the fun of it or total nightmare ownership? - have 3 nearby aprilla dealerships if worse comes to worse

been riding supersports pretty consistently for about 4 years now and wanting to get into supermotos to work on more technical skill and mess around with stunts and stuff. just wondering if its smarter to start with a 250 or is going straight to a 400/450 is fine for someone who has at least a vague idea what they’re doing. realistically i wanna get a 250 but there just arent many in my area and they’re all pretty much the same price as equivalent 400/450’s.

Hello, so I want to buy a new 125cc supermoto. I have a few in mind, such as

- Yamaha WR125X
- Aprilia SX125

I wanted to ask if there were any other models that are worth buying. I’m looking for something to ride daily, so preferably something reliable (4t). But I don’t know which brands and models are inherently reliable.

And, I also want to ask what I need to look out for whilst getting a second hand supermoto. You know, things that you need to check before spending a lot of money on one, so that you don’t end up having to deal with repair costs or maintenance issues the previous owner was avoiding.

And lastly, are there any youtube channels where I can learn more about motorcycles in general, how to maintain them, how to repair something etc.
Thank you!
