Just looking for some info if anybody has experience servicing ktms just recently got a 2015 sxf 250 and wanna drop the oil and give it a service before going out how much oil exactly does it need and where should it be on the sight glass? Also does coolant make any difference or is there a specific type eg dilute or straight

I highly suggest purchasing a service manual for that bike.

Treat it like a new bike, you don't know the true condition its in.
Take it apart and inspect. Touch every nut and bolt
Clean re grease
Electrical plugs pull apart - clean and inspect/apply dielectric grease
Motor:
Ck valve clearances
Look at piston condition thru exhaust port for wear
Change all hydraulic fluids and coolant 50/50 water
Pull clutch complete and inspect for overheating and wear
Oil- 1 full bottle
Transmissions were main problems

Not sure you can see the piston through the exhaust port. Are you using a micro-digi camera?
If you're on IG, check out dirtbiketv account. They just did a little video on the oil change for a modern 350 EXC and XCF which are almost identical.
