Hey i was thinking of putting my 82' XT250's motor in my 86' YZ250's frame. It wouldnt be pernament, just a way to allow me to enjoy the bike until the 2 stoke motor can be rebuilt right. The XT's brakes and suspension died last weekend and i just got the YZ's frame back (see post in general disscusion) and all the suspension work will be done by weekend. I just ran out of money to finish the motor and get a new exhaust for atleast a month. Sucks being poor! :( Atleast this way i would be able to ride while i wait for the motor to be rebuilt. Also i can get use to the increased ride height and a real suspension! :cool:
Anyways the 4 stroke 250 runs strong and it looks like the bolt pattern is the same on both motors. I wont know for sure until i remove it from the bike. Only thing i see is the exhaust will have to have a custom bracket made to mount the back half up with the original hanger bracket. No problem since we have a custom sheetmetal shop.
What do you think, is it doable or should i just sit on the side lines for the next month. That or fix the suspension, brakes and who knows what else on the old beater. Click here to see the old beater and deceide for yourself
Thanks!
