Dropping in an MX motor

How complicated would this be? I am thinking it would be awesome to have a legal kx250..err maybe more of a KDX 250 of course it wouldn't really be legal but the VIN number on the bike would say otherwise. I saw some used engines for less than the cost of the 300 kit.

This would be perfect for me as I really just want an MX that I can ride on the street for a couple miles

That was one of my original plans but the stealership told me I would not be able to register it no matter what mods were done.

RE: Dropping in an MX motor

if you want to go that route, you probably should buy a new Husqvarna. those things are fast and dot legal in all 50 states. they're the real deal for dual sport duties. the kawi is nice, but it is sure no power monger.

RE: Dropping in an MX motor

I would like to check out the Husqvarna unfortunately the stealership will not let me out of my contract. I am stuck with the KLX unless you know a lawyer that will work for free.
