will a 250x smoke a 250ex?

[nismo]

hey i have a little bet going on that i can smoke my friends stock 250ex with my X. His 250ex is stock and my X has a uni filter sur trac tires complete motor rebuild and other little stuff. will i be able to smoke him in a straight drag on a dirt road? and what is its top speed(250ex)?
thank you

[Sportrax10]

You should kill him, im not exactly sure of the top speeds though.

[FourFiftyFour]

a 250x will KILL a 250ex...... thats the bottom line :D
my 250x isnt the most powerful quad in the world but it has beat a surprising number of quads... it will def smoke a 250ex! the 250x is like the same as a 300ex..... some say one is a little faster than the other but overall.. the 300ex and 250x are the same quad.....

[nismo]

i think i will be making my self some money then!:D what about a blaster will i be able to beat it all it has is a slip on and everything else is stock?
thanks again for ur responses

[honda400exrider]

a piped blaster will give u a run for your money... after that you would have to take weight, rider experience, etc into consideration... good luck!:devil

i havent done any actual drag racin.. but ive beat stock blasters before on the track... but the riders might not have been at my level.. this girl in my division has a friggin modded out blaster (her dad owns an atv shop and is the pres of the STQRA so her little blaster is fast) and that one has beat me on the track b/c that little thing can haul for a blaster.. its amazing.

[Sportrax10]

As for a Blaster, its very close. It probably depends on riders.

The X will spank it, when i went though my carb and did some replacing, then re did the timing and what not in the motor i embarrased a 300. so a big ol 250ex has nothing

This is pretty funny this has been brought up. My firend recently purchased a 250x for $200 :eek2: . He thinks he can take me out with my mods below. I doubt that, I think a stock POS blaster could still beat a 250x. I have heard they have very good bottom end though.

A blaster would definatly beat a 250X in short drag race, being a
2 stroke, but in a long one it might be close.

According to 4-wheel ATV action the 250EX speed is 51-52 mph and the 300EX is 54-55 mph.

Pretty close.... :rolleyes:

I raced my buddies 250x and won but my 250ex isn't stock either.

[redrider ex]

yes a 250x will win

[tants]

yes the 250x will win

500ft drags i always win

[redroost85]

Most certainly a 250x will beat a 250ex! I used to have a'91 250x and it was awesome.........until I got ballzey one hot afternoon and cased a rather large double. And that was the end of that fine machine....dang me for that! I wish I had my old 250x back.:( I kicked a lot of *** back in the day with that ole machine!

[FourFiftyFour]

u wanna buy mine?????

[josh]

i'm rootin for the x, if you wanna def get him on the line go out and buy a 12 tooth front sprocket, you'll pick up a lot of bottom and loose just about no top end, i did this with my '91 250x and it made it a lot quicker, i was able to hold my dads 100% stock super clean warrior draggin down the street with the 60 pound rider weight difference, but my x has new rings, super clean motor in and out, very nicely kept care of, and 22" rear holeshots, after i put a cobra full system on that bike it took the warrior by another bike length before i got to jet the carb right, so i think if you guys are of equal riding skill you will deff beat him!

and how much are u bettin on this, good luck

josh

[nismo]

i think we r going $10 a race (will probly race each other 4-5 times)
i have a 12 tooth front sproket and 22" sur trac, and new rings hasnt been started yet(i just replaced the timing chain and rings this week not done putting it together yet)
well thanks we r going to race down a farms road its is about 4/10th of a mile maybe a little more

[Honda4trax250x]

hes gonna eat ur dust have fun winning the bet

[born-to-race]

I think it could be close... :rolleyes:

[honda_250x_87]

o yea.. that'll be the best 10 bucks ya ever made! lol.. although, from what i hear, u shouldnt go drag racing with a FRESH rebuild.. maybe ya wanna break er in.. have fun kickin his arse tho!

[nismo]

i will break it in before i race i hope to have it back by friday and i will ride with them on sat. or sunday

[josh]

make some money, then buy whatever mods you can with the profit, i say re-gearing it is the cheapist way to get more performance out of it! but a full exhaust system and air filter with a perfectly tuned jet setup will def help the bike out! take a nice & easy 2 hour break in ride and make sure it's all sound before you go drag racin,

just my .02, good luck on it

josh

[phatswinn]

best mod u can make for the money is the $7 14 tooth counter shaft sprocket it does wonders without hindering performance at all, actually makes 1st gear almost usefull

whats wrong with it for that cheap? if its a good quad then he got a heck of a deal:eek2:

[250x#93]

Hell yeah, 250x's are awesome:devil

[redroost85]

Ahh, I miss my old X.:( Good God that was (is) a fine machine. Dang me and my old teenage stupidity for ever taking advantage of that ride. Hmmm, I am actually kinda bummed out now.

Ok bottom line......your X will continue to kick many and various *****es always. I always did. I shall bask in my glory days, 'cause now I have a slower ride......and it is quite humbling!:o

[born-to-race]

Pick up a magazine, a 300EX is only like 4 mph faster than a 250EX.

[kxrider]
