CxBXR Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 You would have to rebuild the whole frame, to be able to support the heavy engine, that is the 250R which is designed for a light weight 2-stroke engine. It is common practice to redue the whole frame in chromoly steel tubing, when converting to a large motorcycle engine. If not the frame will produce stress cracks & eventually break in2, Just welding braces at the bends probably would'nt be enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slowrideCX Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 That would probably kill you at first chance those bike were hard to handle with the stock engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spicholy Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 I love this group so much! No matter how crazy something sounds, we rally around a death machine. I do know about these machines. I had an 86 Kawasaki Tecate. 250cc two stroke three wheeler. I would outrun the Honda all day. Untill he kicked it into 6th. That extra gear was my nemisis. I just thought it was a crazy idea that someone might want to try. Although a CR500 would be more appropriate to the chasis capacity. Lighter weight, but still crazy power.

TitaniumBird Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 You gonna die man. A three wheeler, with this engine would be just plain fucking crazy. My thought when I read your post was a 6 wheeler, ATV, one of those deals that goes in the water, 6 big balloon tires, have this engine running two big heavy duty hydrostatic pumps to drive the wheel/tracks... mmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
