Big Bore for KDX 200?

[theKDX200rider]

My freind has a used KDX 200 and he wants to bore it out to a 240. Has anyone done this? Would you recomend it? Personally, I don't think he needs to. My KDX pulls me around fine and I'm 6'4" and 205 lbs. He comes in at 5'5" and 112 lbs. yet he still can't smoke me. I told him the KDX is a great off-road bike and always will be, if you want a race bike then buy one. Plus, he plans to bore the top end and leave the used bottom end on. I say it's a tickin' time bomb without an updated crank. Anyway, I was just wanting to hear some input on what you think of this idea.

Eric Gore used to do a 240 or something similar like that. The crank is fine. He should look into selling the KDX and getting a KX250.
