Update on the YFS250r. I sold my trx450 for 3500$. have found a blaster I am planning on picking up this week. It is in excellent shape and only needs a top end. I also found a dinner bike however it’s a kx250 rather than a yz250 (prolly will get a new clutch cover to replace the “Kawasaki”).

The blaster is a 94 for 400$ and the bike is 800$ bike runs great and is a 91 kx250.

I plan on putting a top end on the blaster motor and selling it if anyone knows someone in the Utah area in need of one.

I’m also selling the kx250 chassis when I’m done with it. The kx250 runs and rides great and really is in pretty great shape. Got a steal on both.


First things first is the engine swap… after the swap I’ll worry about the chassis, brakes, etc. just trying to get it moving first.
 
What are the plans for the coolant reservoir(s)?
ill be welding mounts onto the frame for everything once i have a better idea where it will all go. I have general idea as a yz250 swap has been done before and a kx should be the same process.

I've been reading your posts today & just saw that you're in Utah. I live up in the Logan area. I just bought a Blaster for my son & have been trying to get it running properly. If you are still planning on selling your Blaster engine, or parts of it, I might be interested. Let me know what your plans are. Looking forward to following your build.
