Ive heard the 98 was much better? wat were the main differences...could i change my bike to go like the 98?

i had a 96 and now a 99 which i may be selling soon for more of a woods bike, but to me the power was basically the same between the two. its just how you set the power up is whats gonna make the huge difference. 250 have plenty of power and will keep you occupied for a long time. Whether it has 51hp give or take some there fun bikes
