Waiting for one to blow up so you can update your CR500 or KX500?
Cool idea but hold on there buddy... This would not be a simple swap.

For the time being the fuel-injected KTM fuel-injected two-stroke engine will only come on one bike—the 250XC-W TPI off road model. TPI stands for Transfer Port Injection. MXa doesn’t expect the 250XC-W TPI engine to be powerful, but it will burn clean. The plan is for the 250XC-W TPI to meet the new Euro-4 emission standards. Then the technology can trickle down to other models. The smaller displacement engines will have a much tougher time complying with the emission standards than bigger engines—like the 250.
KTM’s 250cc engine is known to be the most powerful and most competitive two-stroke engine in the world. And now things get even better. The 2018 KTM 250XC-W TPI boasts a newly developed and patented TPI (transfer port injection) fuel injection system – a truly unique feature when it comes to two-stroke race bikes. The patented EFI system with two injectors into the transfer ports of the cylinder makes the engine much smoother to ride and reduces the fuel consumption drastically, a global game changer in terms of technology.
Ignore what looks like a fuel injection throttle body. This does not have anything to do with injecting fuel into the KTM engine. It is simply a way to control the flow of air into the engine. Instead, look at the fuel line hanging off the back of the cylinder. One goes to the gas tank and the other two go to fittings in the cylinder’s transfer ports. The two hoses on each side of the cylinder connect to the injector nozzles, which have electrical fittings that go to the ECU.
Gone is the hassle of jetting, premixing gas and difficult starting. It was time to give a new push to two-stroke technology and prove two-stroke s have a bright future. The KTM 250 XC-W TPI is leading the charge as the most advanced Ready to a Race two-stroke.
