I don't get it. Are you saying the KTM uses only a screen for oil filtration?

Really? Not even a screen?

It does have a screen: http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ub ... er=1543914

I plan on cleaning it more often than the recommended 7500mi/12000kms. A magnetic drain plug will be going in there too.

That is a shame they couldn't pony up for a real filter.
Yes, the 250 has one. One end of the filter says "This End Out", and forum posters are putting them in backward and wondering what is wrong with their engine. So maybe the 125 is more...foolproof?

I had a old CB200 for a while. It had a screen, but it also had a oil slinger, as well. One that was much easier to service than those on the pre-1970 airheads.

Goodie, an "Oil Slinger" debate.

Do you fry them in butter or bake them in a casserole?

Chuey

Neither, their venom is so nasty even the wilderness survival guys don't recommend eating them! I've been bitten twice, it was no fun...
