Motor Swap

[WARRIOR OF DEATH]

Im kinda thinking about swappin the warrior motor out for either a honda atc 350x and building it up, or putting in a ninja 250r motor and building that up. What u guys think.

The ninja 250 would be pretty sick and uniqe in a warrior but I like the idea of the 350x just because its still a 350.

Your better off building the warrior motor

Probably, around the same power but a hell of a lot less fab work

The 350x makes awesome power. Powroll still makes a 393 big bore kit, and I think a 430 stroker. There are still lots of cams available for it, too. However, if you are thinking about building one, you are better off to get either a 250x or 300ex roller and put the engine in. It is a direct swap, and powroll offers the install kit, which include; wiring schematic, motor mount spacers, and the hardware. The exhaust system is the killer price tag. Something like $650! But, you can make your own. The install kit itself sells for $75.

i think if i was to do the 350x i would do it because, yes it is still a 350, for two i like the kicksatrt, and three it has four valves instead of two

 

[WARRIOR OF DEATH]

if i do the ninja 250r motor, i would want it cause i would have great top end power and great hill climb power as well, plus if i build it up i can make it a drag bike possibly lol

What do those 250 kawi motors make for power? I tried to find out on google, but came up empty handed.

 

[WARRIOR OF DEATH]

i heard someone say like 30 hp, but i think it has to be more than that

 

[Mathius]

Do you know their weight by any chance, and the weight/power of the 350x?
The one thing I found by doing the swap on my quad, was that the 350 Yami motors are fricken heavy.

 

[WARRIOR OF DEATH]

yeah, there bottom ends are big as hell

 

[88WarriorBoy]

Ya the kawi motors are 30hp at the crank and I have a friend who has 2 350x's now

 

[Mathius]

yeah, there bottom ends are big as hell

Well I was blown away when I found out a complete 350 weighs 110lbs!

lmao

Yah. Their heavy bitches.

I lost a nail trying to pull mine out

 

[Mathius]

I would like to see someone wedge a Seca 600 motor into a warrior. That was the original motor I had planned to stuff in mine, but the only one I could find had to many miles on it.
I did some homework on them though. If you give the motor a bit of rake, it will fit under the stock tank. But fitting an exhaust could get tricky.

I got my wife to help me with mine.. lol (giggity)

 

[WARRIOR OF DEATH]

yeah, i might go with the 350X motor

Has anyone done an XR650 Honda?? I know its a Honda but still would be cool.
