Dave,

You're going to worry yourself bald over this.

Buy a bike.  Ride the snot out of it.  Worry about the rest of it next winter.  A bone-stock 2002 CR250 will pucker your sphincter just fine, top, bottom, or in between.

All I've done to mine is replace the stock aluminum clutch plates with steel plates and that added enough flywheel effect to make the bike stall less when trail riding.  Anything beyond that is gravy.  I'm going to "Mo Betta" my 2002 this winter for a couple reasons, none of which is that it really, really needs it.  The only reasons I'm going the "Mo Betta" route is that for little more than the cost of having the RC Valve cleaned and serviced, I can get the valve serviced and get the engine ported by a respected expert.

Trying to stuff a YZ or RM engine into a CR chassis is a lot of hassle for very little gain.  You'd have to be an expert motocrosser to tell the difference, and since you're not racing, why bother?
