Oh yeah, that's right. I remember reading that before. Thank you for the reminder. When I install the throttle housing, I will slide it all the way down, and then back it up a bit. That way I know for sure it is not all the way down.

Great! Thank you again!

Thank you!! I knew it had to be something simple! That will allow the entire throttle assembly to just slide off, right?

Thank you for your suggestions. Other have also said it could be a hydrolock problem. Some have also mentioned vaporlock.

There is definitely oil in the bike. I just changed it not too long ago.

Thank you for the new suggestions. I talked to the dealer I bought the bike from and he said it could be vapor lock. I'm also thinking it could be hydro lock like a few have suggested because I did wash the bike a couple days before. Perhaps too much ... more »

I have fun on both, but I ride the 250f much better than the 250sx.

I'll keep this in mind and get the KTM out and figure out what I want to do. Thanks.

That's just it. I have always thought a 250 2t should be ridden wide-open most of the time, which I don't do. I do love the KTM, but I guess I've been unsure about how to ride it. I'm going out to my usual track next Wednesday if the weather cooperates, ... more »
