Should drop right in. A 250EX is a Recon with better styling, more or less.

The EX is geared taller, but they may just do it with the final drive and not with the internal engine gears (?). The Recon is a utility and heavier, so it will benefit from lower gearing.

The recon has a recoil starter at the rear of the motor and the EX doesn't. But that shouldn't be a problem.
