Yes - piston, valve, and crank failures are a known thing for the 23 and 24 KX 250. I know a guy who’s 2024 KX 250 crank bearing seized on the first break in ride. They pulled the crank and the oil weep holes and grooves were not cut all the way. He rides for the Kawi test team in Holland, so it wasn’t his own bike, but those motors seem to have a hard time holding up to high level riding in stock form, as other members of his test team had issues with valves and rod breakage. Now...

Ryan with MX Locker did give me a call today. He was very understanding and easy to get along with. We did come up with a solution and I will continue to utilize MX Locker. Also he is working on a call center to avoid things like this in the future that can be handled with a simple phone call.

Ryan I did not agree to the $46.10 as I strongly felt the cancelation of the order was not my fault. I stopped the order because the seller was wanting suspension that was not going to be supplied. I did not want the seller to think he was buying something then receive it and not be happy that is why...

Ryan, i have tried mutiple times more than 5 different occasions. and have asked for a phone number and a person to talk to get this resolved.

My experience has been not good with MX Locker. Had an issue with a partial bike ad claimed no suspension even though pictures had suspension. Person paid, I notified buyer and made sure he knew or read ad. I did this because he asked about the forks. I told home suspension was not included. No big deal we had to...

FGR01. Thanks for the picture. I am saying the right things. But my position of the needle was backwards.. My clip position 1 is actually clip position 5.

Digger, Thanks for the input as well. Having the needle in clip 5 drops the needle down in the main jet leaning down that opening with works pretty decent. That is the reason going with CCM in 2nd clip, I have also had this needle in 4 and 5 position. It seems the bike performs better in the 4 and...

Same jetting tried CCL Needle 5th clip down mid range studded almost not there. Tried CCM needle 2nd clip up, terrible studder at around 1/4 to 3/8 throttle. My question is will a 6.0 slide help?
