Has anyone ever done this swap?
Last year I bought a 1986 250r for my hubby, that had a calfab swingarm, steering stabilizer, durablue axle, ect... but it is, well ugly, needs plastics, tires, gonna need a top end soon-- you get the idea. He's been kicking around the idea of selling it and buying a 350x. I have someone that is willing to buy it for the 1500 he was asking, but i'm concerned that he'll be disapointed, since we don't know anybody that has a 350x to try out first... I guess my fear is that he'll sell it, and be unable to replace the 250r with all the mods for the money he'll get. We already have 2 rebuilt 200x, so its not like we don't have good running 4 strokes to ride.
so now to the point. I have an opportunity to buy a 350x motor with wiring harness, totally complete. And we rather liked the idea of being able to keep all the travel, light weight, and mods of the R and be 4 stroke.
so, how does the 350x compare to the 250R in performance,
And how difficult would the swap be? We live at a shop, so tools and space aren't an issue.
Any input would be appreciated, thanks
