KTM 350 DREAM BUILD: Did I just waste $30,000 on a dirt bike 😬

- I’ve owned this KTM 350 since 2020 and after years of riding this dirt bike I’ve decided to do a no budget dirt bike build to see if I can make my favourite bike even better!
Everything from the all new MX-Tech Blackjack Fork and National shock, to a race motor and ignition tune from JPM. You’ve all heard me talk about how much I love this bike but at the end of the build I decided to hand it over to Mike Sleeter to test and give me his honest feedback.
A massive thank you to all of our partners:

I would have brought a new 125 and spent the remaining 24,000 bucks on whatever Stank Dog is smoking
😂
This.
On second thought, coming out of a long hibernation, I'm thinking 20,000 bucks worth of high end vapor pens and 4k for a retainer.
A lot of dyno time and indica 🎉

350 church member here. Ready to show my devotion to the faith
Jase has really stepped his game up the past few years and these build videos show that. He just has a unique way of mixing a vlog, bike build and story all into one. I’d love to see these mini movies on moto events all over the world.
I used to ask myself. Who the hell is Jase ? Who is he in the moto scene, and how does he get all these big names on his podcast.
I've been watching off and on for a while now, and I truly understand now that you're just a dude who loves Moto. Your passion for this sport is why your podcast is so good. Can't wait to see you get to race this awesome 350
Love the film! Camera work, story telling, and editing all look really nice 👍
Your words ony add to the moto word, and seeing you ride shows your passion as well. I think every one wants to do exactly what youu did and sleeter is another bonus when he talks. Great team work and awesome build. Did i see 55 hp from a 350 wow.
I just purchased a 23 ktm 350 xc-f factory edition... its the best bike ive ever thrown my leg over.... im slow and sketchy as hell but i love this bike! Thanks for bringing this 350 platform to my attention...
slow mo shots show just how good that suspension is working. CLASS!
Man this is incredible "The Church of 350" is alive!!! Very well done mate🔥👏🤘
This podcast and the Deegans have gotten me back into the interest of moto. Plan on getting a bike within the next year really enjoyed the podcast with Mohammad Al Bolooshi on it. Highly recommend that one. Now I’m starting to listen from the start backwards. Thanks Jase keep up the great work.
And I thought 60 hours in two years on my bike was barely riding.😂
Awesome video and bike Jase! I just started riding again after 10 year break, and bought a 2020 ktm 350. Your video makes me want to upgrade it on some things, suspension for one 😀
You mentioned tinkering as being part of the fun. I, wholeheartedly, agree Jase! I feel like I have more confidence in the bike and my riding skills when I know exactly how the bike is working underneath me. I love how technical our sport is, on and off the bike. Nothing beats a good day of riding, followed up with some good tunes (or the latest episode of Gypsy Tales) in the garage dialing in the bike 👌🏻👌🏻
This was super cool to watch!! More of this type of content please!
Love that you built this and shared it with us. So rad to put some video together with the stories from the podcasts. ✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻
More on the way
As an older guy I totally get where you are coming from with this build. Killer bike Jase!
Love these videos kind of videos from you keep them coming !!! It’s nice to see you other then just the podcast since it’s like watching a friend out there… I know everyone else feel the same
Appreciate that mate! We got more in the works.
Awesome video brother! Like seeing ya doing what you love, nice change up
I'm joining the Church of 350 soon so I had to revisit this gem👌
Wicked build man..! That 350 hauls the mail..!! 🤘🔥👌
Nice man, love the content. Keep em coming mate!
Good one Gypsy....I really enjoyed that.
Dope!
Building a bike with dad, riding with mates and brother. Priceless
Awesome build jase, cool mini doco on the development too.
Got quite a similar bike… 2022 GasGas 350, Xtrig triple clamps with cone valve and a renthal at the front. Super trax in the rear, both setup by a wp guru. Engine also has a compression bump and fitting map with an Akra exhaust. Modified the airbox lid and fitted a TwinAir powerflow kit. It’s a brilliant bike, soooo smooth and powerful, gives a lot of confidence. This is my third 350since 2014, really in love with these bikes and quite happy I still got a fresh one with the old frame.
Probably the best bike build video I’ve seen
I love my 350
That is by far the best sound 350 I have heard yet!
We need more Sleeter man. Dude is a wealth of knowledge!
Never wasting money when it’s something you love. Beautiful build bike is sick
Except drugs don't do drugs do mx instead lmao
Excellent vid. I am a 22 500EXC owner and this inspired me to get off my ass and ride. Cheers M8!
Also a member of the 350 church. Nice build
Thank you sir!
You are giving me some ideas for my 350, thanks.
Amazing journey man congrats! 🔥🥹
The best part of this bike is you built it with pop👌 Turned out great🤘
Ah this is such a treat during my ACL PT❤
Sick build mate! I’ve just joined the church of 350 with a 21 model. 👌🏻
Crocky that's a beautiiifffuull PC. He's a wild one mate!
This was an experience man awsom short flick vibes , felt like i was part of the scene - great work Gypsy n crew - As a 23 350 owner it owner pumps up my ego 🤣👍
Incredible video, more Builds please
Been listening to jace for about 3 year and I am part of this church amen 350 all day
I love the video. I race Hare Scrambles here in Florida. I recently bought a 23 300xc to replace my Husky 450. I was on the fence about getting a 350xc, but I just prefer the 2t. The 450 power is just too much to handle at the end of a long race.
Happy for you bro. That is a sick bike and great investment
That #57 looks awesome on the bike! Cool build!
Ive been rebuilding 'Craigslist junkers' for years, cant wait to get a clean/perfect bike like this!!
Love the edit Jase quality stuff
Getting into Motology's kind of storytelling here Jase, and I'm sure Adam would approve.
Edit: That's a collab I could get behind, despite the geographic obstacle.
frfr
Yeah I reckon we will at some point for sure!
that's a clean 350 build right there, sick vid too!
Maxima chain cleaner is a must have as well. Spray on , power off.... good product
This non podcast content is good
And I can vouch for Maxima chain wax gold
Damn Jase I didnt know you can SING!! Nice pipes! And I'm not talking P.C.
Nice! Love a build vid. Would love to see an enduro build next or in the future, maybe for a Transmoto event?
Keep killing it dude!
I'm keen
Sounds Crispy! I dig it!
After watching this I think you definitely talked me into getting a 350. Also, what wheels do you have on your truck? Definitely dig the bronze wheel white truck combo.
This video is amazing. You definitely made me want to join your church as well. So glad I found this channel 🫡🤝
I have waited a lifetime for our savior! I have been faithful. I've owned a 350 since 2018. And my loyalty has paid off. 😅😅😅😅 I will walk along side to the 350 heavens.
Im also now in the vet category who likes shiny cool looking shizen. 90% of all fasteners are titanium cause I wanted to see blue bolts, lighter weight was secondary 😂. Then I started changing guards to carbon and to finish it off I'm going for Ti axles and a carbon fuel tank and getting B kit work done to my suspension with Kashima coating.....then I probably won't ride it anymore hahaha. I froth on wicked looking machines. Your bikes dripping Gypsy!!
Bro your riding style/ attack position form is on point!!! Great work bro not a ktm guy but beautiful build bro.
you said bro a lot bro
Hallelujah … i got the same bike and are doing the same thing .. this Will be epic 🎉
😂 great edit, especially the intro.
I got to ride one of these rigs here in Japan. I sure do like the 350 (I am a 2 smoker guy to be honest but it was RAD)
Sick build and vid
im 30 seconds in and I have goosebumps 😩 im so ready for this
Awesome name lmfaoooo
Awesome vlog bro, sorry for offtopic: Im planning to move to USA. RN I have KX250F 2013 and selling it to buy tickets. How long it takes in NYC on default job to get bike? On my calculations I can do it in 1 year
Completely agree. Nice work on the build. Hamish Harwood sold me his mx tec suspension, DEP pipe and GET 2 ignition system of a 350 and it turned it into a 450 eater. It would eat all 450s on the line except Josh Coppins Yamaha where it was about the same speed in a straight line....I wonder what he had done to the engine? I know JCR don't run stock....and he did ask me what I had done to it, so imagine going high comp and race fuel would make it an animal.....after trying a spected up 450 and comparing lap times I really can't understand why the pros aren't using them....the only reason I can see is the 450 does get off the start line better no matter what we did. However the 2sec a lap on a 2min track makes up for it all day long.
I had a 350 for 5 years, great bike for a 30+ rider but it made me lazy. Went back to a 250 2 stroke and MX is so much more fun now
Just finished rebuilding my son's 2016 350. What a great bike. Why do they not have a 350 class or have guys race them in the 450 class.
unreal video
Hopefully you see this lol but youve convinced me to get a 350, one question I have is how do you like the mx tech suspension? I'm thinking about getting it because I love the idea of the 49mm fork but how has it held up and all that?
How did you guys fix the red painted logo on the brake caliper after the cerakote… 😎
I have a 2022 Husqvarna add 350 I absolutely love road 2strokes all my life this 350 I the best bike I have ever owned in my 62 years
I really like the. RED Astars jersey! Where can I get one?
Sounds lit. Jase where r those sunnies from bro cooorrr
“Battle of the bush”, lol sounds like a normal every scenario back in the 70s
Nice channel island boards, where is your home break bro
What were the power gains over stock? Peak HP and type or difference in power curve.
That bike would look so good with an orange frame and orange seat cover 🤤
Song was perfect fit seriously 10/10
Looking dope! Love white bikes
I got rid of my kawi 450 got a 22 Husqvarna fc 350 and I'll never ride anything else it's the most amazing 👏 bike I've ever had
I love 350 and 300 2 stroke but 450 are narly that's what's impressive watching the pro throw them around when average person just could never
Noticed wings of freedom T-shirt XD nice
IYKYK
Need to ask what colour is the cerakote on the brack calipers
🔥 production
How does these bike engine compare too the new 2023 ?
What an awesome video.
30k well spent Jase 👍🏾
Mans doing wonders with convincing me to get rid of my CRF450R for 350, and the exhaust clip treating it like a gator had me dying
What a sled, definitely not a cent wasted on this build!
Did u ride it with sleeters fork setting?
This video inspired me to loose some weight and dust the old 350 off and get back to the track.
Let’s go!
What song is in the riding montage?
For track riding I’d go husky 450 or Yamaha 450. For free riding a 350 would be epic though
Mint film !
I do appreciate the retro graphics
Definitely didn't waste the cash!I got 240hrs between 3 350s myself. Went with Coppersmith Hybrid fork
Nice track..where's it at?
I’m a devout disciple of the Church 350. My 2022 XCF350 is the best bike I’ve ever ridden
I can’t justify getting rid of my ‘22 kx250f with a Ti6 pc pipe/tune with a revalved kyb suspension for a 350 quite yet but it is on the wish list!
Jap bikes with KYB just hit different 🤌
Intro reminded me of Dan pastor's on the pipe 1 segment..forgive me father I have sinned.i hit a 4th gear jump,fifth gear pinned🤘.the best line in Moto.
Mate! I would love to buy some of your merch but literally every time I go to your site it is sold out. I wanted your Excite bike T for years and could never get one. Say the Camel "Gypsy SX" T and its sold out now too.... super bummed. I just wanna be a gypsy!
What stabilizer are you running? Looking to do a similar setup on my 16 350
