YZ250f-KDX Hybrid

Has anyone ever tried a YZ250f-KDX hybrid? I have a 2006 YZ250f with a bad motor (bottom end Shredded) and was trying to figure out what to do with the chassis. The bike is in really good condition, other than the engine, and I love my KDX. Got me to thinking, could I shoehorn a KDX motor into the YZ frame? Seems like it would be a great combination.

Anyway, if anyone has tried this, and either succeeded or failed, please let me know.

Thanks
Jeff

It’s probable if you can weld.

Could be done, but will require lots of welding/fabrication as the cradle on the YZF splits too low to fit the KDX pipe. It has been done with a RMZ frame I believe, search the hybrid forum for RMZ, KXF to see.

Yes, it can be done. Plenty of welding will be required.
