Yes, just like I mentioned in the last issue, the KTM 350 SX-F is probably the most fun motocross bike there is to date. But what about making a 350 with more power? Will it make the bike too hard to ride? Can it compete with a 450? These are all the questions that I get asked all the time when it comes to this uniquely sized machine. Chad from XPR Motorsports has been working hard on a dual injector to not only get more power but make this 350 compete with the larger machines at your local motocross event. Since my recent injury, I thought, why not get back on a 350 with some modifications done to the engine and suspension to see if this porridge is juuuuuust right.
