since im not looking at putting 2 grand into my 400ex motor i decided to go to a hybrid.... my main concerns are cost and reliablility... i want to know from you guys with hybrids...

how much would it cost to make a 450 hybrid... what are some problems with it.. and other things i need to know...

how much would it cost to make a YZ 426 hybrid... what are some problems with building or in general with it.. and other things i need to know...


sorry for the bland post im just really deciding what motor to put back into my frame....PS.. any other motors that are common in 400ex frames?

modifying the frame can cost about 1,000 without the parts. You need a radiator for both motors, but a oil tank for the yz motor. trying to find a motor that isn't chit is also hard. Just keep your ex motor.;) getting the right geometry for the rear end and linkage, chain lining up, and other things..
