RE: 'if a KX 250 motor will mount right in ..'
1. Of course not.
RE: 'if it is possible'
2. Of course it is.
RE: 'how ???'
C. If you have to ask THAT question, forget #2, stick with #1.
The KDX does not have a KX frame..not the 'same'..but styled similarly.
Kind'a like the KDX(200) is 'similar' to the KX(250)...just 50cc smaller!

Huh, dang, I missed the Chasis Awards again, I really need TiVo. I once saw a KX500 engine in a KX80 or 85 frame. So, there you go. Should be a piece of toast.
Ok, that was a little sarcastic. Seriously, with the prices of used two stroke race bikes so low, (at least down here in the good ole US of A-holes) I would just get the bike that came with the motor I wanted. I used to think the KDX was somehow more "trail-worthy" than a MX bike. After riding my kid's YZ in the woods, I'm backing off that notion. My opinion might be different if I was back east or something, but there is a lot of merit in a bike that was designed from the ground up with modern technology, and works as a balanced unit.
