Okay so in theory that solves our two biggest issues, stalling (the kit replaces the original flywheel with a heavier one) and obviously restarting again, thank god! But it's going to take a lot more than just that to kill a brand-new KTM... What still needs doing?

My brother and I tested a new Rieju MR300 pro vs my bros YZ250 and came to the same conclusions the 300 felt like a 4 stroke was smooth as and made everything easy leaving left the YZ for dead as you worked your ass off through the bush and up some decent hills. I contemplated modding but the test ride pushed me over the edge and went out and brought a Rieju MR200 If I was modding a YZ250 and I was in your shoes the next mods for me would be: •Change that rear tyre to an 18" (if it's not already.) •Flywheel weight •Steering damper - Scotts • Maybe Rekluse auto clutch so you don't stall out on those big hills as often haha, be able to lug it up there •Consider a bigger tank Clarke or Acerbis 10-12lt with reserve on the petcock •Ballards WR off road light if you're planning on any night racing

Switch to a thinner oil like KTM 2T at 60:1 then reset the carb to run the thinner fuel, like going down to 48pilot and 170 main and dropping the needle. This will stop the bike from becoming overly rich. With yamalube at 32:1 you have to use big jets to let the thick mixture through. With lighter oil like Dominator or 2T you need smaller jets. Then it’ll run crisp at 1/4-1/2 throttle. Then ad a 13oz flywheel weight and a Hydrolic clutch from Magura. Then all there is to do is maintain it, set it up for your weight and valve it for woods. It would make a great hate scramble bike due to the short wheelbase and low height. It is really nimble in the woods. I have a 250xcw and an 03 YZ250. The YZ is more nimble, but has Factory Connection suspension, 11oz weight, hydrolic clutch, low max bars, fmf exhuast system, and is jetted for 50:1.

1st and second gear need to be lowered, lectron carb, apex technical innovations cylinder head, maybe a big bore, but I’m on the fence about the big bore myself. I recently switched from riding a KTM 300 for 8 years to a YZ250X and the cable clutch is honestly an easier pull in my opinion. First and second gearing is too high for really gnarly British Columbia single track tho.
