Dear Vital bros,
What are your opinions on the 2016 KTM SXF 250? I just recently got one, 58 hours on it since new. Just had a new OEM piston put in.
I've heard about the front spokes issue, transmission problems (which doesn't apply to this one according to VIN), any more things I should be aware of? What's your experience with those bikes?
Any simple mods that help the bike in any particular area? I definitely will have to replace the front tire, as it's a Dunlop MX52 and I hate it. Other than that, it seems like a cool bike.
Any input appreciated, Much Ty.

Here is new gear
The 16 and 17s have the same gears
The upgrades for the bike are endless. It’s a great base to start with. Once you get the suspension dialed in for yourself, you will be stoked!
I'll replace the gears asap.
Joe, I already got the bike on CV's, the suspension works pretty well
The Shop
The "good" thing is that KTM will with a 99% certainty fix it for you if it fails. A couple of friends have been on 2016 and 2017 KTM 250s and they've always gotten new parts for free if the gearbox has failed.
I rode the 2018 250f on a demo day. It was incredibly good, i would probably be faster on a 250f than my current 450.
What pistons do you use in those bikes? Was wondering if OEM (which seems to be a CP piston) is the only way to go, or forged Vertex/Wossner would be fine? I had great experience with Wossner products in the past and its half the price of OEM ktm piston.
