Minor jetting change if you elect to go 40:1, like mentioned though, do it or mix per manual.

Oops, my bad, sorry about that...this is an oil topic. Congrats to the owner of the new 18 SX250...the bike is incredible and a powerhouse. For in depth info about oil, call David at Sportcycle KTM in TN, he's a one man show...owner/operator and sells only KTM, he's the Oil Scientist and a helluva a good guy. Carry on.

.. If it is a universal thread, maybe I will put up my broken lawnmower for sale. OP started the oil stuff and you know how that goes. Selling something in another's thread is sorta hijacking isn't it?

Congrats to your cousin on his new KTM - we have a saying where I work - “if you can’t find what is recommended any oil is better than no oil”. That probably sounds snarky but I don’t mean it to....

BR8ES, I made an apology and you bite again. I hate to derail a good man's thread but i'll be gentle on you. It's YOU and your arrogance that hurts this sport, and this site, your'e like a bad disease. My advice to you...fix the lawnmower and go to work cutting grass...that's about all you'll qualify for with your lovely attitude. If you talked to me face to face that way...I will not walk away. I spent more time overseas than I cared for, and many sleepless night's doing what I had to do, for those that I care for and this Country. I'll be honest with you...it make's me fuk'n sick and mad as hell when I think of my friends that died trying to protect an arrogant smart ass SOB like you. Go play on your dirt bike... and NO, I would not take a round for you.

I have an ‘18 also. It’s an amazing bike for sure. On the power valve turn it all the way out and then back in 1 1/4 turns to start then 1/4 in at a time until you find a place you like it. Mine is currently 1 3/4 in for most tracks. Back it off 1/4 turn when it gets slick or in a 1/4-1/2 turn for sand.

I run amsoil dominator at 44:1 with u4.4. I’ve run 60:1 with it as well and C12. There is also a good jetting thread in the tech section. If the bike runs like crap on the low end.

K2 a 40:1 for 230 hours and no problems. I replace the top end every 30-40 hours and have never touched the power valve. Stock lower end too

Motul 800 at 50:1 for MX and 66:1 for SX last 20 years. Minimal deposits or oil gunk. Never had an issue other than a worn out 6yo big end in KTM 200 that gets ridden like a 125. Hardly an oil issue. You can tell it's a good oil because you can still feel it on the piston when doing a strip

i run the motorex low smoke synthetic stuff in my 2018 KTM 150XC-W. 50:1 ratio, no problem yet.
