Can I use 2016-2019 ktm 250 sxf piston rings on a 2022 ktm 250 sxf?

Currently doing a top in on my 2022 KTM 250 SXF I ordered piston rings from Pro X on Moto sport and vertex gaskets the piston rings on the package say 2016 to 2019 i’ve looked it up, but all the answers. I’m finding are from ai and I know you can’t trust ai, I put them on the piston, but haven’t fully installed them yet, they seem to fit good and I don’t see difference between them and the OEM piston rings, I appreciate any help!

Thoughts on pro x piston rings?

Currently doing a restoration on my 2022 ktm 250 sxf, the motor was flooded and the bike was crashed badly, I’ve got the top end torn apart and cleaned up the throttle body, head, and honed/cleaned the cylinder, there was water in the motor but it didn’t get past the rings, the rings are rusted from water hence the new rings, I wasn’t going to change out the piston yet as this is already a very expensive project and it only has 45 hours on the entire bike, I’ve also bought new electrical stuff ecu and a few other things, thanks for any help!

Market place madness

I’m currently selling my very nice 1996 kx250 for 2600$ I got a message for a offer of 2350$ I said yes we messaged for about 2 hours and asked like 1000 questions we got a meet up time for 6pm tomorrow but i was an hour away from him so I offered to meet halfway we got all of that squared away got a time then he asked if we could meet today instead I said yes but it would be a bit of a struggle because of last minute, I drove 40 minutes away to meet him one way got there unload the bike started it started first kick like always I put in the description that it needed suspension work, he got on the bike I told him TO NOT HAMMER ON IT because the chain slider wasn’t on because I was cleaning it but I told him he could take it out very slow in 1st gear but he hammered on it and almost slid out and the chain popped off almost went through the case and scratched my powder coated swing arm very badly he didn’t seem to give a shit tho, he didn’t read the description I said it needed suspension work done forks and rear shock he said I didn’t put that in there then lowballed me more I obv said no, and he walked away, wasted my time and diesel money I’m honestly so pissed off people are just so annoying, what’s some of you’re market place stories?

How much is it worth?

Hey everyone I’m currently trying to sell my 1996 KX250 2 stroke, but I’m not sure about what number to put on it, here’s a part list if it helps, starts in one kick

• Applied racing triple clamps
• FMF gnarly
• FMF shorty
• V force reeds
• Renthal bars
• Renthal bar pad
• Acerbis plastics
• Hinson clutch basket
• ODI lock on grips
• Dunlop tires with about 90% life left
• Wiesco piston and crank estimated 50hrs
• Excel wheels powder coated purple
• Purple powder coated hubs
• Pro taper rear sprocket 
• Renthal chain

All these parts are almost brand new, other then the FMF, oil has been changed every 8-10 hours, estimated 50 hours since full motor rebuild with wiesco parts, all the hours on the bike have been pretty soft, always ran koltz 32:1 gas mix, pretty firm in my price please don’t lowball me, the only thing the bike needs is the rear shock rebuilt it’s about $200 to get it rebuilt otherwise the bike is mint.

2022 KTM 250 sxf

Hello everyone, I recently purchased this 2022 KTM 250 SXF the bike is crashed missing ecu and some other electronics, the bike cranks fine if I bypass the starter relay it feels smooth when turning it by hand through the fly wheel, my question is that it has had a decent amount of water in the intake and in the head the bike wasn’t running when water got in it what will I have to do With the motor? It has 45 hours, thanks for any help!

Does anyone know if a 03 kx 250 shock will fit a ‘96

Sorry for asking this but I wasn’t able to find anything online, I appreciate any help!

Hey all I need some advice

Pic just for attention, I’m going to buy a 2022 ktm 250sxf on the 20th but It was crashed so it’s going to be a project, one of my problems is that it’s a 3hr trip and it’s going to be raining and I only have a truck the air box is open so I didn’t want water to get in there so yall think a tarp would work or should I see if I can use a small enclosed trailer, thanks!

EDIT the bike has 45.8 hours I understand this bike is a project I know I’ll need to put a decent amount of money into if, don’t waste your breath commenting if you’re just going to tell me that, thanks to everyone that was being helpful!
