Totally disagree with you here on this one. The KTM 250F motor is a dam good motor and blows up no more than the Jap 250F motors. Maybe it's the sheer quantity of them out there now compared to the Jap stuff and you hear about more failures. The Dirt Rider shootout rated it the best motor of the bunch and commented about when your doing valves and pistons on the Jap bikes your just doing rings on the KTM. Now KTM's newer 450/530 with the split oiling system you can have. Far to many oil related problems with those motors.
