I recently purchase a 2009 KTM 250 exc (2T). I took it for a ride today (first ride before this weekends Nundle ride) and ended up pushing it home ( I live half way up the bloody lookout = fun). The Bike “seemed” not to have a shite load of power, but I was not sure what to expect. The bike was far to easy to kick over, but it started first kick every time. This is the first 2t bike I have owned (I have ridden a 300 Gas Gas and 250 KTM 250 exc (2013) hence the interest in moving from a KLX400 to a 2 stroke. I can’t seem to upload photos but the piston has some big gouges in it (its farked – not the power valve side, the left hand side if you were sitting on the bike) the rings were not freely moving, not a lot of blow by but it is very well stuffed piston. The crank has a little sideways movement but no upward or downward movement. I was booking the bike into Bikes and Bits to fit/jet the new FMF gnarly and shoryt pipe I had coming next week, should I do a new 250 Piston kit and jug or has anyone done a 300 kit? Any comments are welcome. Cheers
