That's liquid-cooled? The problem sounds VERY much like water or coolant getting into a cylinder.

just ask your motorcyle mechanics

Yep, lube lube lube. Take your throttle grip off and lube up your cables. Check for quick return while it is apart. Now make sure the grip is not rubbing (common problem), and just move it out till it is free, lube and tighten it back up in this position. If that doesn't work check for worn out cables? Good luck.

check the carb float level and mixture settings

could be a faulty spark plug or the wrong one.

could be as simple as water in the fuel. kick starter issue: need to remove side cover and inspect!

Near the throttle body there is two nuts on both cables one is your throttle and the other is your return cable check to see if the return cable is in its cable seat if it is not you will have to reseat it but if both cables are seated correctly you will have to losen both lock nuts on both cables once you have done this twist your throttle to the idel position and hold there tighten both cables and lock nuts and this should fix your problem

Remove air cleaner and look at throttle body butterfly valve. Ck that it is moving with the throttle, if not fix or replace cables.

Rad cap might be bad or bike overheating try a 50/50 water to antifreeze mix or thermostat

All the signs are that the engine has siezed, could be costly Im afraid

Do you mean brake fluid for clutch pump or oil for the engine?If you ask about oil for engine KTM recomend Motorex Power Synt 4T 10W-50.If you ask about the clutch brake fluid you will need brake fluid DOT 4 or DOT 5.1. See link: http://www.manualslib.com/manual/90432/Ktm-250-Sx-F.html?page=36

You uselless fools, 3 answer and nothing worth about it.

2007 ktm 250 really hard to start. Any thoughts

hey man bout your clutch not working the master cylinder is prob gone and your hydraulic fluid has all leaked out its an easy fix jus take off cover for your fluid on left hand side of handle bars if the resevoir is empty then you no its master cylinder.

I had the same prob with my bike heres what i did.. I took the cluch all apart soaked all the clutch plates in oil. Than i ordered new clutch springs from <Motosport.com.> Than put all back togeather and rebled the clutch and it work like a top.. HOPE THIS HELPS..

line the TDC mark on the flywheel/crankcasing up , then the cam shaft marks paralell to the cylinder head mating surface then fit chain, fit chain tensioner, take plug out and turn by hand to make sure valves aren't knocking, **** squeeze bang blow! intake fuel, compression, ignition exhaust out
