Hi all,well after some time out after a crash and selling my bike i am now on the look out for a ktm to thrash.Always had crfs but its time to see why everyone rides a ktm these days.Looking at a 08 250 sxf so and pointers as to what to look for valves/waterpumps ect and best first mods jetting/suspenion ect.

Cheers all

No probs lol must be good!

I bought a used '08 250 sxf six months ago after riding Jap bikes for over thirty years.  Jetting it was a challenge but it is working good now.  It mostly needed a smaller (if I remember correctly) leak jet to allow more fuel via the accell' pump.  So far, it has been a very solid machine.  My only complaint is the center of gravity is a little high compared to the Zook & Kawa bikes I've been riding.  It more than makes up for it in steering prowess though.  I was a little phobic about going with a KTM because I always thought they were a little weird and had questionable reliability, but no more.  Very nice bikes!

55 leak jet?

i have an 07 250sxf and i love it the valves never move always fires right up hot or cold
im now doing the first top end on it since ive owned it not because its blown but because its goin on 75 hours on oem piston!!!! lol
take care of it maintain it and keep it clean and itll be a good bike!!
