hey im thinking about getting a 250ex but i dont like how weak they are, (i rode one of my friends with a pipe and jet kit) is there any thing else you can do to get more power out of them (i.e. big bore, air filter, any thing)
thanks

you can get pipe,air filter,and powroll makes a performance kit for it,with the powroll kit it says its 20-25% horsepower gain, plus add a exhaust and k&n air filter,then you should have pretty good power. check out the kit at powroll.com

 

Even if you do get the 25% increase in power, thats only gonna boost you up 3 horse power from the stock 12, so now matter what, its not gonna be that powerful.

 

so if you get the poweroll kit, pipe, air filter, and jet kit you should be looking at abot 17-19 right

 

Why spend so much money on the 250ex to mod it out when you can go and buy a 300ex for the money you spent on the 250ex.

 

because when i rode a 300ex i didnt like it at all only thing i liked was the power rode a 250ex and loved it. it was so much fun to ride just needed a little bit more power

 

why spend the money on a 300ex when u can get a 400ex, better yet, why spend the money on a 400ex when u can get a 450r [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

The 300EX has real sport bike suspension, where the 250 shows its utility heritage! With limited suspension, who wants to go fast? You just get beat to death.

 

True my 300ex rides like a charm and why didnt you like the 300ex also how old are you and how tall?

You really cant get a 250ex to go much faster than stock unless you want to spend lots of $ to port and polish and bore it out.

 

i'm 18 5'8 weigh 150 i just want it for something to play around with at races as a pit bike and around the house to goof off on
i didnt like the way the 300 felt under me it just didnt feel right
