In your opinion what is the benefit of the 350 XCF-W over the 350 EXC-F that comes out of the box street legal? :ponder:

I believe it is a difference in gear ratios, the W being for wide ratio. My understanding is that is more trail/dirt oriented (requires less shifting because you have a wider usable power band),

From Wikipedia, the source of all that is true and dubious...

"Alternately, a wide-ratio transmission requires the engine to operate over a greater speed range, but requires less shifting and allows a wider range of output speeds. Close-ratio transmissions are generally offered in sports cars, in which the engine is tuned for maximum power in a narrow range of operating speeds and the driver can be expected to enjoy shifting often to keep the engine in its power band."

So is this one street legal as a dual sport? (meaning have you made it street legal since it does not come street legal).

To me, having had the 500 EXC prior to this 350 XCF-W, showed me the difference in the ECU, and the emissions/charcoal canister. It doesn't come with any of it. I don't know what the stock gearing is on the 350 EXC but the XCF-W came with 13/52. I swapped to 13/50 from my wifes 250. Gave her lower gearing and made first gear a little more useful. Still worthless, I never start in less than 2nd unless climbing gnarly hill at Muenster.
So for less money (new) you can plate a XCF-W and have less crap to deal with.

I beleive Tourmiester is comparing the XCF to XCF-W not EXC to XCF-W. XCF is hotter motor, close ratio 5 speed, closed-cartridge forks, non-PDS rear shock with linkage, can tune ECU, use map switch, etc. XCF-W and EXC are locked ECU and PDS non-linkage rear, with open cartridge forks. More plush.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Legal... no. It is ready to be registered and plated. Has everything it needs minus the mirror which I am keeping for the new DR.

Close. You describe difference in XCF and XCF-W. EXC is Cali legal choked up XCF-W.
 
Re: FS: 2013 KTM 350 XCF-W - Denton, TX - $5000

XC-F is close ratio transmission XC-FW is wide ratio I also believe there is a camshaft profile difference the XC-F has the same camshafts as the SX motorcross bike and XC-FW and EXC share the same.

Was that a 250 you rode the other weekend at Muenster Bud?
I just had my first experience on a trials bike.... 280 GasGas Raga replica at City Park in Austin. Man was that fun and different... just may have to get one...
 
Re: FS: 2013 KTM 350 XCF-W - Denton, TX - $5000

Yep that was a 250XC-F

Trials bikes are fun I should have never sold my Gas Gas but no one else around had one. Sold mine and Sam bought one the next week:doh:
