I have a 12 150sx with four rides on it, less than 2 hours total of ride time. I bought 6 new ktm's for the family and love all of them, but I love my 250sx more. I weigh 230lbs, It was bought from lesko in Kansas and ran perfect at the shop. When I busted it out in Ocotillo it was flat down low, and I mean FLAT !! I didnt want to mess with jetting out in the dez so I rode my 250 the whole time. I just started it yesterday and it ran great around the shop, but it is still too fat down low for minnesota and needs to be rejetted to get the low end grunt back it had at leskos. I of course have all receipts for it and paid like 6 something. I'd let it go for the right price. Lets talk,

This is off OP's topic B DUB, but the stock jetting on the SX leaves a lot to be desired. Get yourself a Suzuki NECJ needle (ten bucks, part no. 13383-37FEO) and run it in clip #4, a 40 pilot, 160 main if you're running pump gas. If you're using race gas use clip #3. You will not believe the difference this jetting makes for this bike, smooth and clean bottom to top.

KTMs use massive mains. I run a 192 in my 125sx. You have to find someone with a modded 500 to borrow jets from if you ever need one at the track. the japanese 250s use 168s or so.

try setting the float tang just a tad leaner than what the manual says. works wonders. or just call Chip Munn. That guy can jet a KTM over the phone.

192 a massive main? My 150 would die with a 192 from being so lean. We run a 210 and on my 08 we ran a 220.

I just got a '12 last week so I can't say anything for reliability but I love the bike! I would also like to see what people say about it.

you want a strange look from someone, find a guy with a YZ250 and ask him for a "210 main". watch the look on his face when you say it's for a 150cc.

"all i have is a 165 and a 168, man."

Ha, sorry I misread your post and thought you put a 192 in your 150, but it's a 125 so yeah that sounds about right.

The rediculous thing is, over here 150's come jetted stock with something like a 185.

Haha, I'd bet you'd get some weird looks indeed. I think the biggest size actually made for this carb is a 230. A friend of mine tried this once. It ran a little soft and sloppy but it didn't even bog. (In cold weather that is).

Does that needle make that much of a difference that you can run a 160 main? I ride a lot of sand, but right now with the stock needle I'm running a 190 main. Now that it's getting a little warmer I'm probably going to go back to a 185 and see what the plug looks like, but I think a 160 would be way lean.
