I’ve ran tons of UFO and Acerbis and never had to mention it, The UFO stadium plate utilizes the stock graphic unlike the Cycra stadium plate which was nice.

Sometimes, especially if it's a restyle kit. Cycra often has differently shaped number plates and stuff like that. It varies by bike brand and plastic brand... How close did they make their mold to the original on that year for that bike? Some of the graphics shops ask you what plastic you'll be running, so I assume they have different cut-files for each brand. I just bought a GasGas and put Acerbis plastic on it before I rode it. The local place (Fusion Graphics) did a set of numbers for me and they went on without any trouble. I'm pretty...

I went a tooth down to 49 on my yz250f and I like it better. I can actually use second gear now in tight corners and I don't have to shift as often into forth on straights because third is more usable.

2018 250 edition

Keefer has podcasts with a couple of engine builders and he asks them which bikes need the most parts upgraded to hold more power and which take the least.

My KTM and FC250 before that were solid. All told, I put 200hrs on those bikes, and the Husky had over 200 when I sold it, running well. That's one of the #1 reasons KTMs are popular with the off-road crew, because they hold up to many hours of riding. The weakest link in the current stock KTM 250F motor is the oiling system, IMHO.

Rmz250 is bullet proof.

One thing to look at is the cost of parts.. Its only $50 for a OEM piston on a 2022 yz 250f... About another $60 more for gaskets, cam chain, rings, and a wrist pin... As long as you keep your air filter clean and oil changed, it should be far more reliable and far less maintenance than your prior 2 stroke.

All the modern 250s are very reliable. It’s not like the 90s. Keep on the maintenance. I know a bunch of riders with 100+ hours on stock pistons on their 250f
