Thanks, i was also relieved that it was a simple fix. The stock reeds have different rev plates. But with the boyesen reeds they recommend using the supplied rev plates. Im confident that the issue was due to the 6130 reeds being a bit too large.
@@MudAndDustMoto If you can get hold of a WR manual it covers indexing the valve and leaving a small amount of slack, I never had issues with cables after years of ownership. Hopefully yours was just a manufacturing fault and the replacement cable lasts.
There is no specified break in procedure. Break ins are highly debated On my bikes i do 2-3 static heat cycles with throttle blips then 2 easy riding hours (or how ever long the first ride is), oil change, and then i rip it.
The RF250 we had was very reliable. we only had one mechanical issue caused by some impact damage, We did not notice the selector shaft had bent and that eventually damaged the shift forks in the gearbox. Other than that the RF ran great, are you a beginner rider or returning to riding? My personal opinion is that a twostroke will always be better suited for hard enduro vs a fourstroke, but if you are starting off and looking for something affordable you cant go wrong with the RF250
@@Letsdoittv67 as with any bikes there are pre ride checks and regular maintenance that needs to be performed. If you adhere to those your bike should be reliable. As i explained in the video this issue was caused by using the incorrect reeds. Overall the KT250 seems to be just as reliable as my friends Japanese and European bikes. Dirt bikes do require a lot of maintenance regardless of what brand so people should not be under the illusion that parts components will last forever.
Thanks Buddy - can save some future hassle. With this info I will NOT install the Reeds you got first, and have to order the other one.
Yeah i had to learn the hard way im happy if it helps other people avoid similar issues
IIRC, my WR200 had a bracket on the reeds that prevented them opening too far. Good to see your bike up and running again :-)

@@MudAndDustMoto Beautiful, they're a cracking little motor :-)
@@krazed0451 yeah they are, do you have any suggestion on how to adjust the power valve cables so the pv does not get stuck

Thanks for the video ,always a good watch .👍
Thanks for watching as always🤙🏼
Love sand :) Dirt don't hurt.
For sure, looking forward to the TR Enduro funduro
How many hours or kilometres does it take to break in the rf250

How good is the rf 250 for hard enduro I’m scared to buy one and it doesn’t last long

@@MudAndDustMoto I rode mx but wanna start enduro so I just wanted to know if the rf250 is reliable and won’t brake after a couple rides
@@TyjWollace oh nice, what bike did/do you use for MX?
As long as you do regular maintenance as with any dirt bike the RF should be fine.
@@MudAndDustMoto I was riding the yz250f
@@TyjWollace lekker bike, one thing i have to mention is the RF250 is a lot tamer than any modern bike, so dont expect the quickest thing.
Hope mine holds up lol
What your Kayo or the reeds?
@@MudAndDustMoto bike itself I’ll probably upgrade the reeds.
