KDX250 Big Bore?
Thinking ahead to my hybrid build and was thinking about going with one of Eric Gorr's 265cc big bores on theKDX250 engine with the "mo better" porting. I figure with what it is going to cost for a replate, gaskets, new piston and rings, etc., the BB kit would only be about a $100 more. Not sure if anyone here has tried one of his 265cc kits but, if so, was it a very noticeable power gain? Any odd quirks with jetting or anything else? Anybody think this would be a bad idea or a good one? I know I would find some over at TT that have used his 265 kit but I would rather hear from the KDXrider community first.

KDX250 Big Bore?
In my experience any time you mess with something then you are asking for problems. But with that being said a 265 wouldn't be that big of a jump so the engine should perform simular to stock. Porting can be a good thing, and a bad thing. But if they have done it before then they probably have it worked out. For me I think I would be more inclined to go with a big bore kit then having carb work done to get more power.
