Well done on the build and explaining. I want to get a timber sled kit for my 2020 te300i, as well as still keep it for riding tires in the summer. Have fun long live the 2- stroke
You’ll love snowbiking! It’s now a year round addiction I think about daily. Luckily our season of snowbiking is 8 months. Summer seasons are short here in Alaska.
All I can say is "WOW" you've done an amazing job on that bike!!! Extreme clean work at its best, very craftsmanship oriented. Great show man!!! Do you mind telling us where you got the graphics? Best snow bike I've ever seen...
Thank you! It has been a fun build. Custom wrap was made at Deviant Ink. Their website is amazing for letting you customize your own wrap. They hold sales often and I paid $180. The material they use is very good and was easy to install.
Great in-depth video! Can you do a video like this for your BRC500? Can you include a three way breakdown/ comparison with the 300 450 500, where and when you prefer each one? Thanks
I have been running my built 2019 KX450 with Aro 3 premium but i have my actual dirt bike, 22 300 XCW that i have been thinking of putting a 120 riot kit on for the hero days
Be a great bike for those days the snow sets up. Heat exchanger, tstat is a little hotter for the TPI bikes I would try 165F and let it buck! Be a fun combo. Check out the head inserts and ERM module for your bike at Two Stroke Performance.
Need some info on your thermostat, no one has a listing for 2023 probably do to one in the frame. Did you use a 2022 kit and remove the one I. The frame to a open style and what degree thermostat
I have no idea how you made this thermobob kt3 work..? Where did you put the factory temp sensor fitting? Photos or up close plumbing video would be fantastic!
Thanks! The TPI owners are saying slightly higher temperature is better. I want to say the stock thermostat in the TPI bikes is around 149-165F. If you get an aftermarket thermostat, buy both the 149 and 165. Start with the cooler 149 and see what you think. The tstats are only $19 from Watt-Man.
One more question please. Does your engine blanket on right side extend up also? Would love to see a picture with it up.Not sure of best way to deal with pipe and blanket through that area. Thanks again.
Check out this video I recently made, it shows the pipe side and how I dealt with that area around the 2:15 mark in the video. czcams.com/video/gJ1h-UZRLhY/video.htmlsi=UMla1FMa4l5NB5lE

Any issues with your XRT on crusty trails or just maintaining trail temps in general? Prepping for this upcoming season, I recently installed the narrow mid-size XRT heat exchanger on my 2018 HONDA 450R paired with a 2023 ARO3 PRO. I have scratchers installed to try and get snow up to the exchanger but my main worry is with the 3" paddles, how well will the snow reach the exchanger during the mandatory trail riding to get to the back country riding we all know and love.
No issues so far, however we generally don’t have long trail rides here in Alaska to reach the riding zones. We have installed the XRT coolers now on three bikes up here (23 300SX, BRC 500, and 17 YZ450) and none of the bikes have ever over heated. Do you plan to keep your radiators? If so, I don’t think you’ll have a problem at all. Might not hurt to add scratchers just in case but my guess is you won’t have any issue on trails.
At this point i have both rads deleted and im running the XRT coolant bottle. But plan to take the rads along on our first trip incase i need to add one back. @@The_Snowbike_Channel
On the YZ450 build the owner removed both rads and found it to be perfect. I want to say he is running the medium size XRT cooler. On the BRC I deleted both rads and ram the large cooler and it was perfect. On the 300 I left my radiators and use the medium size cooler. I could probably delete the radiators and still be fine but I like the additional coolant in the bike. Seems to help even out the temp swings transitioning from trail to powder and vice versa.
I looked up the parts diagrams for the 2024 Pro kits and found the number that way. Looks like they might be out right now, try Eric Kay at Racin Station, I think he has some. Timbersled Rubber Ski Stop, Item # 5418546

P3 Max Coverage carbon pipe guard and just automotive exhaust wrap you can get at Napa. Wet the wrap first and really put it on tight. I used hose clamps to hold it in place. I also cut small holes in the wrap and start the wrap at the springs mounts so the wrap stays in place. Then go far enough down the pipe so the P3 guard covers the end of the wrap.

Thank you for taking the time. Great video!
Thank you Eric! Looking forward to seeing the 300XC build come along. 👊🏼
Solid Video, Explanation is on point . Best snowbike Chanel !
Very cool bikes. Iam still saving to winterize my dirt 450.

Fantastic overview! Can't wait to build my own!

@@The_Snowbike_ChannelThank you! I keep going back to look at your snowbike, it's just amazing!
Great in-depth video! Can you do a video like this for your BRC500? Can you include a three way breakdown/ comparison with the 300 450 500, where and when you prefer each one? Thanks
Unfortunately I sold the BRC this summer. I will do a cross-comparison between bikes here shortly! Thanks for the idea!
was it carb or tpi brc 500?@@The_Snowbike_Channel
Very nice I just swapped my bike over!

Just picked up my first kit today 18 , 137 aro
Those are great kits! They fly up the hills really good compared to everything else. I had a Aro 137 on a BRC 500 build.

Watt-Man thermobob KT3. Their website won’t show it fitting this bike but it does. Temperature 131F
I have no idea how you made this thermobob kt3 work..? Where did you put the factory temp sensor fitting? Photos or up close plumbing video would be fantastic!
I second this I bought the t stat but I have no idea how you got it in? And where did the factory sensor go?
@@shreds4fundid you ever figure that out? having the same problem
What temperature range would you recommend for a TE 300i tpi. Excellent video!!!!
Thanks

Awesome, thanks for all the tips man. Keep the videos and information coming! Not many other content creators out there for this sport yet 👍🏻👍🏻
Great build! Where did you have the graphics made?
Thanks! The wrap came from Deviant Ink. They usually have sales often and their website lets you customize the wrap yourself. Cost $180
Can you share the exact part number of the new Timbersled Ski dampener? Timbersled's part search engine is... less than ideal.

lol built my engine jacket with the exact same shit
What exhaust wrap are you using?

I also cut small holes in the wrap and start the wrap at the springs mounts so the wrap stays in place. Then go far enough down the pipe so the P3 guard covers the end of the wrap.
Thanks! I ran my TBI 300 XC with just the p3 last year, going to wrap the first bit to see if it helps.@@The_Snowbike_Channel
