This will be my first enduro and see that it is a closed race what does my bike need. Getting mixed information.

This is from the rule book but these are for a road use race not a closed race.
A. All motorcycles must have a current motorcycle license plate firmly attached to the rear fender.
B. All motorcycles must have a securely fitted muffler or silencer emitting a sound not to exceed 99db(A) measured at 0.5 meters (20 inches) at half maximum RPM. Each sponsoring club must perform a sound test and machines not meeting the accepted standard will not be allowed to compete.
C. All motorcycles must have a securely fitted US Forestry-approved spark arrestor in addition to or incorporated into a muffler or silencer.

It's a 11 300XC just stock can I use it this way for this race?

Jay, no tags or registration needed but you will be checked for a USFS approved spark arrestor.It will be stamped on your silencer if it's an approved type.

H/s with no spark arresters - that's weird.....

Thats correct the stock silencer is not a spark arrester. KTM now does not have to be EPA checked. Their bikes are only closed race only!

So I can't race with a stock ktm exhaust?

[Kenneth Held]

steel screen from the hardware store and a hose clamp will work fine.

[jay j wentland]

Kenneth, that is very doable!
