Best big bore is a 330, best bore and stroke is a 352. I've built a couple 250x/300ex motors and you're way better off selling and buying a 400 or a 450. The 350x motor does fit with ease but you're still no better off then just buying a 400ex. If you did the 350x swap you'd need a custom exhaust.

You're looking at about $1200-1300 for a good 352cc motor and that's if you can do the wrench time. That's why you're better off selling and buying a 400.

Well, Lets look at your other choices..Originally Posted by PsychoX
350x motor.. A good running motor goes for around $500-$800, Then you must buy the complete wiring harness, kicker, shifter, carb, all that fun stuff. Then you must buy a custom exhaust (a few companys offer the exhaust kit for a couple hundred). So at the end of that, your looking at $1200++
250R motor? Well, a good running R motor goes for around $450-$700 (stock motors). Then again, you must buy all the wiring, kicker, shifter carb, etc. and then somehow cram a pipe for it in there. Of course you would then have to deal withmounting it, and the radiators, etc. I'd say with that your again, looking at $1200+++
The same goes for a big bore, really pricey, and it takes away alot of the reliability.
As Oldschoolin allready said. You are better off buying a 400 or something different.
Sell your 300, save up some cash for a bit. then buy yourself a decent machine that suits your needs.

I Put A Lrd Full Exhaust/jet Kit/k&n On My 02 And It Made A Very Substantial Difference. 500 Buck For Everything. If Your Budget Is Tight And Your Planning On Keeping The Bike These Are The Easiest And Cheapest Mods.

I have a a 300ex with the folowing mods that made it quite quick. Fmf full exhaust, k&n, jet kit, High comp piston, rev box and cam. They all made it almost faster then a stock 400ex. They all cost me around 600 bucks but i put them all in. When i race my buds 400 it kind of close. if we race around the back field then its close and relatively even but in a drag he only beats me by about 3 bike lengths.
