Don't forget to get hold of some 22 mm offset clamps to make it handle better and some p circuit longer dog legs on the linkage helps as well .

Just curious, why do you say that? On my 13 the wheel base felt short but I only noticed it on the hills when it would want to tip backwards more than a 250 2 stroke or a 450. And I don't ride much wide open desert style riding, only tight and winding single track, so I'd like to still keep its turning ability sharp.

KXDINO:
The 22 mm triple clamps give the bike more trail  , so when you lean and turn you have more grip on cornering especially on turn in which the kx 250 f does , so it momentary loses grip when you start to turn and lean , makes it turn better, as for the longer link gives the bike a less stinkbug feel and changes the rising rate so it firms up in the stroke faster , I do this to a lot of kx f bikes except the kx450 16 model as it a very good handling machine and only needs personal set up in the suspension as all bikes need.
