NGK brand spark plug BR8ECMVX is the stock plug for the bike. The proper gas / oil mix is 32 to 1. That means 4 ounces of 2 stroke oil per gallon of gas. The posting was not clear as to just what the problem is. If you are burning up plugs there may be a air leak in the intake system making the bike run lean. A lean fuel mix runs hot.
Hey dan, I own a 2005 kx250 also , had a heck of a time jetting the bike to not foul plugs but here's what I did ,lower the pilot or low speed jet to a #48 (stock is #50 ) this will clean up the bottom end and make it a little snappier , If you're going to ride the bike wide open alot like in sand riding you could leave the stock #160 main jet in , If trail riding you'll want to drop to a #158 main jet this is all for sea level to approximately 1500 feet and 60 to 75 degrees, if you ride in 55 degrees and below you'll want to richen up the mixture to stock specs or more ,I'll use a #50 pilot and #162 main jet for 50 degrees and if it gets hot like 90 to 100 you'll probably want to raise your jet needle clip up one clip position (2nd from top is stock) to the notch on top of needle , all of these suggestions are what I use here in Oregon just make sure you're watching the plug color all the time especially when leaning the engine out it should be a light to medium dark brown in color, If it gets leaning towards a white color on the ceramic under the electrode you're in danger of seazing the engine, the last thing is run your premix 32 to 1 with a 50/50 race gas to pump premium ( if you can afford to) and that will help both keep plugs from fouling and prevent pinging of the engine , Also you need to use a old plug that has color on it when you're jetting , that will make it easier to see if your running lean. I'll bet this sounds like quite a hassle but once you get it sorted out you won't be eating $11.00 spark plugs anymore .I hope this helps , I haven't fouled a plug now for 2 years.
You don't always run 32:1. It depends on what king of oil running. If using racing oil most require 50:1. It says it on the back. 32:1 is to much oil and will foul plugs expecially if you do not run it hard. The plugs I always ran were br8es and br9es. Both ngk

With a bike that is 35 years old lots of things could be the problem. I will list what to look for in a "most likely" sequence but with a mind to some of the easy things to check first.
This is a pretty good list of things that should keep you busy for a few hours. Wish I were there to help. It's been a long time since I serviced an old Yamaha 250. I was a shop mechanic for ten years.
Let me know what you find out.
Please rate this answer. Thanks Brandon!
SOURCE: hey! ,i have a 06 kx 250 2 stroke and shes not giveing any fire !
sounds like your coil is packing in try the coil on another bike buddy if this works on another nike get back to me
SOURCE: 2 stroke ratio
32:1 to 40:1 is fine.if you go any more than 40:1 your just wasting money and will foul plugs! any less than 32:1 and the top end is not protected.....

I don't know why anyone would be mixing 32:1. This is ONLY for pure mineral oils. If you're using a semi synthetic oil, you can safely mix at 40:1 & if you use a fully synthetic oil you can safely mix at 50:1. I have been doing this for 20yrs & haven't had a single problem with any of my bikes, jet skis, lawn mowers, chainsaws, etc etc etc. Use an iridium plug, at correct plug gap & follow the mixing suggestions I just mentioned & you will have the best performance from your machine.
