trails ok but works best in 2 plus feet of fresh snow. It's much more maneuverable than a snowmobile.

I'd like to see what others are running and if they are using the 351 or 250.

Nice. Good to see someone with the same kit. I actually had to modify my kickstand mount post that the spring attached to because it was contacting. Have you had any issues? How does the klx show bike compare to the KTM?

The ktm is 300cc two strokes so it does perform better on the ktm. The ktm is also higher to the ground so it's able to go through deeper snow.
The klx advantage is on cornering between trees, because it's lower for the same leaning angle the handlebar are not as close to the trees.
The 4 stroke advantage is mainly when we pull stuff, we've made some groomer to maintain a fatbike trail and it's easier to carry with the klx.
No issue with the kickstand mount as you can see here.

My spring pin mount on the bike was contacting the black arm on the explorer. I notice that pin was bent from the contact so I ended up using a removable solution. I'll post some pics tomorrow.
