Yea they actually are according to Moto Hose. Was surprising to me also. No longer a "Y" hose. 3 separate hoses for the 16's ( at least for the 250/350's)
2016 250/350 & 450 are completely different ..... and arrived yesterday.

2016 KXF450 came in too.

I called KTM US today and confirmed that the recall is only on bikes sold in Europe... We're in the clear for now!

That's interesting, in Australia we have the US version and I have been contacted about the recall.

Where did you notice the leaking? I haven't noticed anything and I'm at 8 hours currently.
It was dripping on the bottom bend of the hose onto my front sprocket. I thought maybe that quick connect fitting was loose or it the hose was nicked itself but the closer I looked I noticed it was running down the hose from where it connected to the tank from what I could tell. It was post race so she was muddy. Dealer is having me bring it in tomorrrow.

This is what I've resorted to on the radiator hose. The 16 was obviously completely redesigned so I'm up sh*t creek without a paddle. I was hoping maybe ktm had something in the works to fix this

A better solution would be a piece of fire sleeve around your hose.

Anyone put a set of renthals up to the stock Neken bars and found out what the match is? on the 2016 KTM250sxf,

I just put 997 twinwall's on i had here at home and the Rise makes the front end feel way too high, thinking the 996 or the 998 is the same bend judging off the neken bars im here trying to measure off.

That set up looks really, really good. I know it's company colors, but if you just changed the red accents on the pipe and graphics to orange... Woohoo Woohoo Woohoo

like those graphics. Were you at Orlando? Saw the Rocket booth from EI Daves but never made it over.

Very cool, I've been doing that with my suspension wraps for 5-6 years now and people love it.

Hey guys can someone help me out here?

I'm converting all the plastics on my '16 350 SXF to orange, and I've hit a snag with 2 pieces.

I still need the 2 airbox pieces:

Aibox bottom: 79006001000EB
or: 7900600100028

Filter box front: 79006001010EB
or: 7900600101028

I've seen them listed with either the "EB" at the end or "28" at the end

The dealer I usually get stuff from - KTM-Parts.com is telling me the orange airbox pieces are discontinued from KTM. That just doesn't seem right to me.

Anybody got a handle on where I can get these in orange?

Thanks

On my Dyno the YZ250F was 40.9. SXF250 was 45.2. As you might imagine the YZ250F was better up the front.

A friend of mine was able to get me a full set with the airbox peice but I believe he did say they are now going to be discontinued or unavailable for awhile.

I'll ask him if he can still get them. Have you guys tried calling Ktm direct? The orange plastic looks so good. I'm going to wait till the new factory edition comes off and come up with a graphic scheme based off that but something that jives with the orange plastic

Lucky... It looks really good on that orange frame too. I don't even want to put mine on until I can get these two pieces.

It's a hard choice between the two I'm going to look at the Ktm today
