Default Oh God, I've got an idea!

Alright, well, its bore and ring time for my 230, and I was thinking about the topend in general. And I've come to the conclusion that I really wish it had a 4 valve head. But that was a while ago, and just a few minutes ago I went looking into LT250S cylinders on ebay figuring that I could do a crazy bore and satisfy my power desire that way. Well, I think I've gotten myself into a little more than I bargained for; a DR250 head and cylinder. Its 4 valve, 250, and MIGHT fit the 230 bottomend.

But, theres still some things I gotta know, such as stroke, and base bolt pattern. They LOOK similar, and I know Suzuki likes to keep some things fairly congruent throughout thier quad and bike lines, but idk.

Heres some fiche:

DR250 - http://www.suzukipowersports.com/fic...1985&fveh=2026

LT230 - http://www.suzukipowersports.com/fic...1986&fveh=1821


So, tell me what yall think.

I'm not sure. Probably a decent power increase.
