If you put a 450 piston and head on the 250 without changing the stroke you get 388.59cc If you put a 450 piston and head, new conrods etc, so that the stroke is the same it will be 449.3 just like the other 450’s.

Maybe when this is all sorted you can split this thread and leave the original as a how to and set the “other” as a how to derail

Convert your 250 EXC RFS into a fire breathing 350 EXC RFS and enjoy huge torque and power gains. Kit comes complete with piston , cylinder, and gaskets. Fits KTM 250 EXC 03-05 ONLY!

Yeah but you sadi putting a 450 head on a 250 makes it a 350 and it doesn’t. The 350 kit is a cutom designed top end.

Wrong there too

[Bruce CurtisMember]

I would very much doubt that a manufacturer such as KTm would make a “one bottom end fits all” setup as husqvarna did this and revolving mass kills the power and response on the smaller revvy motors, I would believe some of the cases are interchangeable, but there is very little market benefit to be gained from this style of engineering, as you can save weight by design to brief or end use. Otherwise a KTM 250excf would weight almost as much as the 450, no advantage there.

BTW Moto somewhere in that argument you sounded Austistic, by being literal, both are acceptable reference terms of displacement, bloody anorak :laugh:

NO Mention of stroke being changed!

So WE are BOTH right!!!

OH yeah SORRY AB for turning your thread into a bun fight:blush:

No XY its not Moto but thats not important, you need to learn he cant be wrong, he wont let go and if he is he will just cut and paste or carry on till you give up.

I dont care and next time we will delete whatever’s not thread related because there are rules for this tech thread as people need help here

Here is the post regarding the tech help forum

Please limit the amount of dribble and crap slinging in the tech help thread, if some one has posted here its because they need help or can help. Any posts that we the Admin team think are non constructive, aren’t helpful or aren’t asking a question will be moderated, there are plenty of other places to carry on the OBT way. Other than that same same as per the normal OBT

Admin Team

So please guys take it to another thread and lets help Austblue
