What kind of fork does a KTM 250 SX F use?

How much does a Yamaha KTM SX-F weigh?

The KTM weighs in at 224.6 pounds, ready to race but unfueled, and the Yamaha claims 247 pounds wet. Given the fuel capacity on the SX-F of 1.6 gallons, I’d say KTM wins the weight category by a mile.

Is the twin air filter on a KTM 450 SX F?

The new Twin Air filter is easier and safer to mount and can be changed without tools in seconds – a standard and original KTM feature. As in the past, all new SX-F engines are fitted with the proven electric starter – a unique KTM feature and a major benefit at all levels of motocross racing.
