Hey guys, I was just wondering if it is possible to put a 250f motor into a 450R frame? I race in the 250 class, and found out how much HP the 250f motor puts out and it got me thinking. Instead of spending a heap of money on a raptor 250, why not just put a different engine in the 450 chassis. I was wondering if anyone has done this, or is looking to do this.
Thanx

you could do it but it would take some fab and you could only race it in local series becuase it would be considered a hybrid or non-production

what kind of fab? would it be less work to just build a whole frame?

I'm not sure but a conversion usually has some work with where the swinger attaches the the motor and frame and then bottom and front motor mounts. chain alignment would probably be off but that can be adjusted with offsetting the motor to one side or the other. then all the rad hoses would have to be figured out. and the kick start would most likely need a extension to clear the frame.
If I were going to do this I would look on here for a 250r with all the fixings (suspension mainly) and use that to put the motor in. becuase then you dont have to deal with the fuel pump in the tank and it would probably cost a lot less if you found the right 250r

thanks. And 250r i am assuming is the honda 250 two-stroke. Is that quad built to handle as well as even a stock raptor 250? I don't want to spend a load of money on suspension or a arms. Thats why I chose the YFZ450R

You can probably even find a 250r with a 250f already in it, with top of the line parts on here. All hybrids are for sale, you just have to name a good price. Except for mine

No, I don't want a modded raptor, because the more you mod it the less reliable it is, and I do more than race. Is there any other quad frame that the 250f motor would fit in?

it isn't just going to drop in a frame. and you must not know a lot about the 250r because it will run circles around a little raptor 250. and do you understand I ment get a 250r with all aftermarket suspension then put a 250f motor in it. and it would most likely still cost less then a yfz450r and it would perform better also
