I was told by my dealer to run the bike @ 60:1. That sounds really lean. Ive always run my bikes @40:1 using quality oil. Just want to know what every one else is running.

Will post pics soon...

Bit the bullet, going with the  '10 model which i pick up next week. I was blown away by the fit & finish of the bike.

Why not just get a good used one? Why spend a whole bunch of money on a brand new one, when you could get a good used 2-Stroke for about $2000. Heck, my dream bike would be a new KTM 150, but I can get close to the same kind of fun on my CR250 for a whole lot less. After I ride myself into shape and save a little bit then I'll get a 150. By then, I can probably find a good used one. Two strokes are so easy to update to good running condition, that an updated used one is just as good as a brand new one.

We could start a whole new thread as to why i don't want a "good used one'' I'm just after feedback on the '10 ktm 250sx before spending my hard earned as i've never owned a ktm before.

If I were you I would hold out for the 2011 and get the new bodywork

Agreed, I had a chance to at least sit on one of those recently. It felt a _lot_ smaller (that was not the right word.. hmm, slimmer perhaps) than my '06, more or less like a 125.

Unfortunately I'll have to keep the '06 for a while... it was tempting though.

Part of the reason of getting the 2010 is a better deal price wise compared to the 2011. Im also looking into the  2010 YZ250 which more or less priced the same as the KTM. Thanks for the feed back, keep it coming!!!!!

Ok im new to this forum and not sure this has been discussed before. Its been a few years but im getting back into riding again and im interested in getting a new bike. The bike im keen on is the 2010 KTM 250SX. Just after some feed back on this model, eg build quality, any faults, what to look out for and basic reliability. I plan on buying brand new and bike is going to be a keeper for many years. So any feed back (good or bad ) would greatly appreciated
