I am the pround of a a "new to me" 2001 KTM 250EXC and have a few questions for ya'll.
1. I know I am really asking for it here but what oil do you guys use in the gearbox. I had a KDX and ran ATF in it for years with no probs. Just wanted a few opinions.
2. Jetting. I have read all the jetting posts that apply for the last couple months and I am confused a bit here. I have NOZH needle 2nd clip from top, 175 Main, 42 pilot and 1 1/2 on airscrew. My question is it sounds lean (PING PING on decelleration and lean surge at idle) BUT the plug is still black. Is the NOZH notoriously lean at low speeds and rich on top? I have a DDK and DEK (CEK on back order) on the way and I am really looking forward to trying them out.
3. The bike will creep in gear and will not start while in gear. The previous owner said he swapped the plates due to this and it really didnt seem to help. I thought about changing the hydraulic fluid to see if that helps. Any ideas here?
I know this is a lot all at once but like I said I am starting from scratch having ridden KDX's for the last 6 years.
Thanks in advance
