General Two Stroke Talk / Need owner reviews of KTM 250sx

« on: June 11, 2013, 09:14:40 PM »

I have a 2013 250 sx. now 300 sx. First off for a faster moto rider i thought the wp forks in stock trim were HORRIBLE.  My stock pipe cracked w only 5 hr and it is a common issue, but after the stocker cracked i started paying more attn to the pipe bolts and i havent cracked one since. This bike is a blast to ride and i love it with the FC suspension, but you have to constantly check your fasteners.. common ones just like above: shifter/kicker/pipe bolts/swing arm bolt/upper shock bolt/motor mounts/spokes... I guess its worth adding that it did this in stock trim also, not just w 300kit. keep plenty of loctite on hand and check your fasteners before/during each ride day and its a blast.

For sure, we have no shortage of riders wanting in. Working out details now for Budds!

Would releasing a list of names be possible? Fwiw, I was at river valley mx in Boyd, TX last weekend and Tommy Hahn was there railing on a KX250...... Just sayin lol

T Hahn would be a great pick!

All of the technology is cool, and will make bikes go even faster... even with less skilled riders. Todays bikes are fast enough, take out the "fight" for traction and add "auto adjust suspension" and the tracks will just get more crazy to keep up.  This would both add cost to an already expensive sport, and add more danger for serious injuries when it becomes common for your local track to have 4th gear 160ft quads... like this one



Like i said, more danger for SERIOUS injury. No doubt that some of the technology could help safety, but When you have to go bigger and bigger to push it to the limits it just makes your mistakes that much more serious.

I like advancing technology, but there needs to be some limits. The way things are going kids wont/already dont have the same chance to ride and race growing up that kids 10 years ago had. I say that because i beleive with the 4 strokes along with the recession it has already gone to far, and the addition of EFI,traction control, and "skyhook suspension" they will sell boring bikes that do most of the work for you... that we watch go around a track on tv.  Or maybe even worse, all of the above, but battery powered... Electronics on DIRTBIKES should be minimal.  Advance the "hard parts" and keep the rest out of competition.
