just had too bring at least one new bike already set-up for the dirt home .
right ...

Been missing my 08 XCF 450 so much that.. WELL YOU KNOW!
this bike acts so much smoother in the rough-n- tight track
big huge difference in FI over the carb slide and there suspension .
Makes an AARP old retired ex motocrosser feel good again .
well somewhat :rofl:
been a perfect gentleman with it and she HAS responded .

so far not a tank full yet- pics to follow but these were some yesterday morning

Get out and ride that thing! lol Does it have turn signals?
 
No turn signals Rob- didn't need them...

Sicass kit that I specifically told cyshack north to ordered came with-

Highway dot high beam bulb duel filament BRAKE light lamp. ( head lamp already has the anemic light bulb lit at all times difference is I can control other head lamp bulb from off switch .

Another feature that's nice is the outer push button secondary kill.
KILLS the battery but everything on as long as engine runs of course.

another 35 miles at running temps at 6am today.

Hey Rob question for you now its so easy ...

Does your bike have the OEM FACTORY RADIATOR FAN already installed mine already had one AND>>>noticed its a no joy

others that have them are on or off with KTM`s or so my XC-F 450 did .

Does XC/W 500 activate when it senses extreme heat or ?

CRIS- thanks and yes I've definitely enjoy my early morning ride 3hour tour of oil fields, RP, pipelines, dirt roads, still more to go came back for a drink and some checks of bolts about 50 or miles so far.

:eek2: rain looking might nice right now yawl:zen: get out there :lol2: weathers beautiful wish you were down here:rider:doug
 
thermostat controlled radiator fan found it in manual.sweet:rofl:
 
thanks Greg !

we gotta hook up soon .
after few more hours of break-in :yawn::pirate: lol
 
Don't mean this ugly, but based on your break-in I did it way wrong! lol
 
having seen your bike run ! :sun:
choice varies and depends who you really believe .
Runs with premium gas or use better fuel simple right.
dealer top it off with there fuel - hint most likely never checked 10% ethnol content regular unleaded drip gas.. maybe not :yawn:
next romping wont be the same as my first 2 ;-) and tank will be empty.

Yea you have! Chased me around on the Livingston run! lol
 
BTW, have you changed the oil? Doesn't manual say to change after first hour?
 
Yes sir i did the oil, screen, and filter .
lol
 
Congrats. I just got the 350 XCF-W. Totally different feel then the older bikes. The FI is great as well as the suspension. I can lug 3rd gear everywhere in the woods.
 
Nice bike! Sometimes I miss the 500... sometimes. The 350 doesn't scare the crud outta me in the woods like the 500 did... that throttle should say "launch control" on it.
350 has twin cam vs single cam. totally different manners... each has its place. Enjoy it, I had over 130 hrs when I traded it for 350, and the valves never moved.
 
thanks for everyones comments it shall be throughly enjoyed.:sun::trust::rider:
 
Why are you saying good bye, he only just got here!! :rofl: Nice bike, still like my CRF450X, but would also like a modern KTM..

Have fun with it

Gary
