hey mate at the moment i own a 2010 kx250f and it cost a fortune to keep running like: oil filter every 8 hrs oil every 4 pistons every 25hrs and clutches very often aswell. all im trynna get 2 is that im thinking about buying a reasonably new ktm150sx wether it be 2009 2010 2011 etc, all i want 2 know is that is it low maintanance wats sort of the things u have to keep an i eye on and is it good for like this sort of slow moving trails aswell as its known ability on a track? cheers..
@mrHansen122 Being a small high-revving engine, you probably want to keep an eye on the top-end. I never owned a small two-stroke before (came off a KTM 300) but I hear they do require a but more upkeep. It's great on slow trails and high speed tracks. There are a lot of track vids of this bike on youtube. The only place I have any trouble is very steep and loose hills --- you HAVE to keep momentum, as there is not a lot of low-end power.
do you race? if yes, what class.. How do you like this bike? ever ridden a 250f? how does it compare? I really would like to get a 150 but don't know if i'd like it or not. I like being able to lug my four stroke around and not be on the pipe but still go fast. hows it do on hills? Anything else you can say?
@baraklee263 I don't race, but I have done a couple of enduros. I ride in an age class, so the cc doesn't matter. Some Motocross clubs are allowing the 150 to race against the 250F bikes. I would say you would have no problem with 250F bikes on this machine. It is very light and fast, with about 36HP on a dyno. I owned a KTM 300 EXC for years, so yes I have ridden bigger bikes. This will NOT lug around like a four stroke. You have to keep it on the pipe.
