Anyone interested in a nice wheeler with a few hidden problems??

I just got the frame powdercoated neon electric blue, ive got LT250S front suspension on it, LT250S Pegs and brake lever since theyre a lot wider than the stock 230 pegs. Now the point that i run into a question is with the motor. I have a complete 230 Motor and a Complete 250 motor... I know the 250 will bolt right into the frame, but ive been told that the 250 cylinder matched with the 230's stroke will make a 273?? But i believe the wrist pin diameter is bigger on the 250, so i wont be able to just swap the top ends around.... Or am i completely wrong?

Also i know a HUGE weak point of the quadsports is the chain coming off and hitting the stator cover. I know people found ways to add chain tensioners but they just didnt cut it for me. I added a nylon chain guide to the swingarm from a yamaha blaster.... Best mod ive ever done and havent had a problem with the chain since, once i figure out how, i'll post pics of the chainguide.

Ok here are the pics, hopefully they work. This is on my trail bike so please excuse the way it looks, theres tons of rocks, trees and mud so its hard to keep it looking good. But anyways, heres some pics of the chain guide i made and front and rear bumpers.

i got a question for ya...or well anyone really.

i bored my cylinder .80 over and would it be easier to re-jet the factory carb or is there an aftermarket that i could buy that i would not have to re-jet?

rejet the stock one is easier. You could buy the tm28 and beat your head against a wall for the next few weeks trying to get it jetted right. It is a better carb, but definitely not easier!
