Naa dont work for KTM but am pretty good friends with a KTM dealer who convinced me and my rather large group of riders who were converted from Suzuki's and me and my father from Honda's. We call it the orange club now haha.
KTM dont make a overflow bootle as they believe it is not needed for casual off road activities or short burst races but im doing neither so i've opted for it. I imported it for about $50 through EBAY, its a very simple design and i considered replicating so if you're a very handy man then you could make your own.
Im not sure if its possible but i'd be keen to know that if in the future (like the single cam KTM's) you could swap piston/barrell to get a larger capacity. Like put a 450SXF barrell on the 250excf (not sure what cc that would make), because then you'll have 6 speed (SX is only 4 and they're having trouble converting it to 6 this year) and the road kit and all the other enduro stuff. Because the 250exc (single cam) was quite dissapionting in terms of power so the 350SXS big bore option was available (which i think may have been a piston and barrell off a 450) and then made the 250 (now a 350cc) into a pearler of a bike.
The 400 exc could also be an option for you, im not completely sure on the wieght this year but last year the wieght and handling type setup was exactly the same (because it was ultimately the barrell and piston that was different between the 2 models). The 400 has got a much more softer hit and linear power delivery then the 450 which is a bit more brutal. If you're considering a DRZ400 then definately have a look at the 400 exc as it has a bit more power across the first half and the same type of linear power delivery but quite a bit more smooth power up top where as the DRZ tappers off. But something else to consider is that 2007 maybe the last year of single cam 400's so it might be outdated by 2008, i dont know...
