I work at a Kawasaki dealership and this is the first I have heard of it. We have two faster guys both with around 80 hours on their 17's. No issues. Not to say these people haven't had issues, but we haven't heard of any or received any bulletins from Kawasaki.

Good to hear. I’m buying an 18 kx250f before the end of March so I was disheartened to see this thread lol. But glad to see most people agree it’s not a common problem. Since you work at a dealership, what do you think is the best part on the bike to upgrade first? I was thinking Pro circuit exhaust and suspension. What do you think?
Man, I'm the wrong guy to ask haha. Other than getting suspension set up (possibly revalved) I'd leave it alone for now. Maybe upgrade the chain right away. I'm a huge believer of riding the bike stock first before sinking any money in it. Get to know the bike, the motor, the suspension etc. That way if or when you make any changes you will be able to notice those changes.
Both Pro Circuit and FMF systems are popular here. I've owned 15+ motocross bikes and have never bought an aftermarket exhaust though so I have zero feedback.
I'm still on a 2015 KX250F. Race Tech suspension, ARC levers, higher end RK chain and that's it. I'm hoping to be on an 18 myself this year as well. Going to try Factory Connection suspension this time around though.
