okay so i have this hybrid for about 10 months now and i still dont know what kind of frame i have. its almost like its a 400ex and a 250r put together into one frame. but every time i have to do somethin to the motor like say replace stator ect i have to pull the damn motor out of the frame because the valve cover smack the frame and wont clear it to pull it out. ARE ALL HYBRIDS LIKE THIS? if not please someone let me know and if youve got a houser frame or walsh frame or laeger frame. somethin along them lines let me know. becuase im gonna get another frame if so.
thank you for your help.

if its a 400ex the vin plate should be between the shock mounts or behind the front bumper. That might be a 250r frame, but doubt it. Someone put on 250r tank and plastics, they don't fit good at all. More pictures of how it is, closer pictures.

here is my 250r lsr hbrid, yours looks mix and and matched with parts.

Ya, try to get some more close ups.. I can't tell. But, it looks like they used a 250r sub frame...

looks like old style walsh a-arms, and old style walsh cr-link swingarm, but who knows about the frame

the diamond shape guesset on the swingarm (where the linkage bolt goes through) makes it look like a walsh

Aftermarket frame of some sort. Not Walsh though, I think Walsh frames have a much beefier gusset around the swinger bolt. Bolt-On subframe and bolt on grab bar give it away for me. Looks like the thing needs some TLC. At the very least a 250R seat and line up the front and rear fenders.

Walsh CRF frames have an upper frame rail that you remove, so you don't have to pull the motor.
