The Starter doesn't work. So that will need to be fixed if you want to do it. I never bothered as it kicks first kick once warm.
It's plastics isnt new.
Hours: 25 hrs on top end. No idea on total hours but this bike goes like a bomb.
What is new? (6 or 7 rides ago the following was done. Will provide the invoice for this if needed):
1 fork service incl oil
2 fork oil seals
2 fork dust seals
2 inner bushes
2 outer bushes
1 removal and re-installation of forks and wheel
1 shock service incl oil and nitrogen
1 shock oil seal
1 shock DU bushing
1 removal and re-installation of shock and wheel
1 set front brake pads + installation
1 front brake disk + installation
1 set rear wheel bearings
1 installation of bearings, seals and spacers
1 set wheel spacers
1 rear sprocket
1 front sprocket
1 520 o-ring chain
1 carb clean and re-jet
1 New FMF Powercore Exhaust
1 New Airtime Sidestand
The cost of all the above is close to R10K and now you know you wont have to do it.
Here is a video of me riding before Exhaust and Suspension was done. at about 4:00 in you can see how easily it starts.

If I ever get back into the Enduro riding I will more than likely buy another KTM 250 2 Stroke. It's the perfect Enduro bike imho. More power than the 200 esp down low, large fuel tank..10.5/11 litres iirc, nice wide ratio gearbox with hydraulic clutch and if you decide you want to upgrade to a 300...well change the piston and cylinder head. 300 time. I've not come close to needing a 300 though :
