heey guys

i ran into a mistery last week.
my friend bought a 400ex but i doesnt have a stock 400ex frame.
is has square tubes and a detacheble sub frame.
does any of you guys know this could be an aftermarket frame?
and what brand it could be?
its using trenga racing a-arms though

250r?

Posted by: nightmare311

250r is round. maybe an old leager frame i remember them making a 250r frame that was square.

no,a stock 250r frame in square......along with a 300ex frame

Posted by: oldskoolex400

ive seen bill ballances old lrd250r and it had round tubing
i guess it could be a older frame your friend has or maybe the 400 frames were square
who knows

its not a 300ex frame.
cause it does use the 400ex motor wich wouldnt fit into a 300ex
and it uses 400ex plastics
also have thought about 250r frame but the 400ex engine is to tall to fit in there to

Get some pics of the bike. I am suspicious as to if it is a 300EX frame.

a 300 doesn't have a removable sub frame it would about have to be a modded 250r frame

a 400ex motor will fit in a 300ex frame and so will the 400ex plastics it is easy to tell does it have stock a-arms or after market and see if they are like 300ex or 400ex becuase both bolt on with little to no modifying. and is the grab bar detachable and is it huge or small?
