changing over to a 250cc won't be a walk in the park. there would have to be modifications made.

Lots of modifications. Plus the 250's aren't real easy to find. I would advise to do a P7P on the head, or go with a better head and have Tom do the porting, big bore kit, a nice cam and DIY exhaust header. You can, and might have to, go with a bigger carb with all those mods, but I would try the stocker first. The big drawback to the stock type pipes, is that they aren't port matched, and sometimes have rough bends. Find some mandrel bent pipe and weld up a nice transitioned head pipe and decent muffler, and you should be set.

Try 11gram slider for start. Then move on to uni filter and gut ur exhause. You may need to jet a little bigger no big deal. Try the first step first (sliders) and let us know if you see a differance..... wich you should. Unless you have them already idk.

Ok cool thank you! May jus try the lil stuff first. Then go the route of what masteryota said. But where would I get the parts masteryota talking of? Been plenty of places on internet, not much out there.
I don't mind doing modifications, so if I can find the engine at decent price be better in long run. But either way where best place to look for the parts or the engine!
Thank you

as far as what Master was talking about parts he was talking about Tom on here as one of the dealers you can talk to and he will help you tremendously in any way you need it for upgrades, more speed or pulling power.
