Welcome to the list!

I have no first hand experience with the 250F, but one of my friends had one a few years ago. Now, he is on a 2018 EC250.
I don't think he modified the engine or carb settings, but he did a lot to the suspension (TTX fork inserts etc). He was quite happy with the bike, but you have to perform frequent oil changes, as the bike has no external oil tank. The Yamaha bike using the same engine has such a tank, but in the Gasgas the engine is converted to wet sump.
If you are looking for performance increases, I guess sites that deal with the WR250 has a lot of suggestions. One thing that Gasgas did offer at the time was a 300kit. Athena barrel and piston if memory serves me right.
Another option I seem to remember is using YZF camshafts (or perhaps only the exhaust one).
