2024 ktm 250sx total carnage!!

[@UPmichiganfpv]

Oh that’s just lovely. Just bought a new 24 250sx. Swear If this happens that early I’m gonna lose it!!

[@thedirtdigger5990]

Change out the piston now to avoid it, get a forged pistonn if you look up JBub Ktm on facebook he has the fix for this. If u watch my other video of splitting the cases you'll see it even broke the cases

Dang

[@thedirtdigger5990]

My thoughts also

[@J4M54UK]

I have the same issue with mine. Done 13 hours. Looks like the piston ring caught the power valve. Looks like yours also caught the ring?

[@thedirtdigger5990]

The powervalve didn't look like the ring caught it but it's possible

[@J4M54UK]

@@thedirtdigger5990 on the RHS of the power valve when your setting the Z height it looks like the carbon is polished off. This is what I’m seeing in mine.

[@thedirtdigger5990]

@@J4M54UK actually I had to polish that part because some of the aluminum chunks of piston had messed it up and lodged it open

[@mitchellmorrison4233]

manufacturer error or lack of maintenance I wonder?

[@thedirtdigger5990]

I think the piston hit the crank. There's been quite a few of the 250s and 300s having that issue

[@mitchellmorrison4233]

Good to know, thanks.

Pretty disturbing how common this is

[@thedirtdigger5990]

@JamesyMusial14 yeah for sure and worse part is the rid bearing locked up about 12 hrs later! Luckily they had a forged piston in it so it didn't do anymore damage then just the rod

[@JamesyMusial14]

@@thedirtdigger5990 dang, absolute garbage. Would be nice to see KTM either recall these things or at least acknowledge they’re shit. Only a matter of time before someone dies from these bikes locking up on a jump face.

[@thedirtdigger5990]

@JamesyMusial14 exactly!! I love ktms but these new 2 strokes are junk and I couldn't buy one
