I ride with 5 guys on them. No major issues yet,None are really high hours.
460 hours on the bike. Biggest issue is that I still ride like shit.
Have you considered an anodized fuel cap?

Welcome Dan! P.S. your Penton-colored goggles clash with your modern Husky. You should work on that.

Do you do anything special for start up and warm up in the winter?
Taping up the left radiator shroud (and both when it's briskier) helps. Orange tape is the fastest.
Below -10 C or so it's worth considering snowmobile 2T oil. Normal 2T oil turns into molasses and the poor oil pump might struggle.

Super helpful, thanks! I hadn't thought of the oil pump - on the 4t I had previously I'd maybe change the oil but usually just warmed the bike up in my van which had a heated rear area so I never had to worry about the cold like that because once the case is hot it'd stay warm enough to be fluid.

I have 225hrs on a 19 300 xcw tpi. Not a problem yet. Did the top end at 150 hrs, really didn't need it. I'm going to put in a new oil pump this week, again no problem with it. Just preventive.
Love my TPI, a 250 xcw. I think its BETTER than the 300cc variant.

Good to see you here 😀Someone left the door open and I wondered in. May I join the fun?
How's your new suspension from George?
The 300's power is very smooth. Coming of a KX500, it feels pretty boring even though you are moving right along. It never feels like it is trying to kill you. I miss that sometimes.
The front forks are set up like a super cross bike, very stiff. The harder you push the better they feel. Downside is, I'm not that fast anymore.

Doing good. Have a few hours on it and all is well. Nothing tough tho, mostly dualsport stuff since my 501 is down. George has the shock for it as well

Did you get a shock body from Kraft? Seemed like a good deal
