What other motor(s) can u put in a 86 250r frame without having to do any welding or anything like that?? I have an 86 frame that has just been pced trans red (looks awesome)!!! If any i would like to be able to put a four stroke motor in this frame just by buying new motor mounts!!! Is their any options for me or not??????? Please anybody with any input please let me know asap. thanks, josh

not possible to do. ONLY a 250r 85-89 motor is a drop in. And also I shoud add, any other motor, besides a 350x motor would be a waste of time too, new breed fourstroke motors won't fit in a stock chassis without alot of work, a 400ex motor will fit with out much problem.

how much would u have to do to fit a 400ex motor in the 250r frame?? Is it just changing the motor mounts and dropping it in or more than that???

sell the 250r frame and buy a used 400ex frame. u would prolly be money ahead, plus you wouldnt hafta hack up a good 250R frame. and you wouldnt hafta listen to peeple like me call you bad things for hacking up a perfectly good 250R frame.

I don't think there are any motors that you can drop in by just changing brackets. I'm pretty sure any motor other than a 250r will involve cutting and welding of the frame.

I would just find another 250r motor for it.
