you want to put a 250r into a 300 ex frame. ya it's possible but your going to have a alot of figuring out to do. Cause nothing is going to bolt into place. How about getting a hold of a 350x motor that fits into 250x frames which are basily the same.

One problem to look at is that the 300EX frame geometry was designed for the power and speed of a 300cc motor. If you put a screaming 2-stroke in there you will have a quad that has minimal suspension, short wheelbase and narrow track but now can go fast enough to get you into trouble. Frame strength is also a concern. IMO it will be cheaper in the long run to just sell the 300EX and buy a good used LT250.

Werd unless you wanted to add a lot of extra strength to the frame, new suspension, but it doesn't seem worth it.

for 350x engines. The 350x engine would be heavier then the 250r, but it would be a drop in engine. You could strengthen the frame.

I would say find a cheap 400ex out there and spend your money on it, evrything else would be alot of work for what you were getting out of it. IMO
