    I bought this FE250 in October 2014 as a New leftover for $6600.00. With the 2 grand I saved over the 2015 I added a FMF pipe, Olbie link guard, Enduro Engineering components, custom decals from Decal Works, Acerbis plastic and am sending the fork and shock to Krefts the second week of March. The 2014 will be a much better bike than the 2015(stock) for the same price. Never underestimate the value of the New Leftover. My riding club is all KTM, the American Husky should draw some comments. Yeah, I know it is a KTM. See attached pictures.

    I saw your thread on ktmtalk. Looks good. Mine is getting tattered so a mid summer spruce up might be nice.

    What front fender/number plate combo did you go with there? I hate the big brace on the headlight of my 2014.

    That's the new 2015 fender. It's like the ktm brother.

    Oh ok, so I'm assuming a bracket was used to be able to mount the 15 fender, correct?

    Different lower triple clamp and different head light mask On the 2015 but there must be an adapter available.

    I took the light of to save weight as I do not ride at night. You do not need to spend $80.00 on a mounting plate to use the MX plate.
    Remove light assembly and fender brace. Bolt the mx plate at top, there is a threaded hole in the top triple clamp. This will leave the two prongs at the fender and mx plate. Zip tie the two together.
    You do not have to remove the forks as seen in picture, I sent the forks to Kreft. Winter15 041004.jpg Winter15 035002.jpg Winter15 036003.jpg
    The mx plate is not going anywhere and will cost 1 bolt and 2 zip ties.You may think this is cobbed but it will work just fine. Spend the $80.00 on something else like a good front tire

    You forgot to mention the grand or so you saved by not having the new 2015 forks to fix.

    Looks nice!

    How is the FMF silencer compared to stock.

    We added a FMF Mega Bomb system and works really well. More response and power everywhere. Personally I never bought into a slip-on since most motors need the header for any real gain outside of reducing heat.

    Per Weantright, the pipe adds power across the band. The problem is, it is very loud. I run the quiet insert with the spark arrester and the power is the slightly less but more than stock. I have the TPS set at .63. Is it worth the $350.00?
    To me it was. I can't justify the $370.00 for the header pipe.

    We run the quiet/SA insert and it is louder than stock but not offensive. Then again the kid riding it isn't on the limiter! TPS set at .64 and running stock mapping.

    I was just reviewing this thread and have since added the mega bomb header. I was wrong. Worth every penny. Big low end improvement. I have ridden this bike for two years and it is the best 4t woods bike I have ever ridden.

    Very impressive for a 250f, I might get one for myself. If needing more power I was told full race mapping and more open air box, results are much much better. I just do see the need yet.

    My belief is these after market exhaust companies design the system for both header and muffler. Doing one may be better over stock but both are a must for the most gain/power delivery.

    I am going to do something with the mapping before spring. So much stuff out there. What would you suggest. I want a little more low end and mid. I am ok with the power now but I have ridden my brothers 2015 Fe 350 and want just a little more.
