Almost sounds too easy.
If that be the case then could you install the KLX300's 400cc big bore on the 250 instead of the 330cc big bore kit? Should work shouldn't it? That would seem pretty cool to me. You would have awesome power and lighter weight of a typical 400cc dual sport (DR-Z 44)

I probably wouldn't go from 300 to 331 but I might go from 300 to 400.
Tell me more?
Reliable?

OH geez dude I'm sorry... I just went back and read it over again. Kraft has that old school HTML ghetto type site and things are all jumbled together. I saw the KLX400 there next to the 300 with a link directly in between the two and didn't realize which one was for what. All this time I thought it was a 400 big bore kit.

Yeah sorry, I disappointed myself in the process. So thats two of us.
What I dont get is why do they charge you approximately half the price for the 300 vs the 250? I know why, its because they redo your 300 cylinder and sell you a new 250...but, question.......why cant they just bore your cylinder out and let you keep your old one? Better than spending hundreds of dollars for a new jug just to let your old one collect dust. Or will they do that if you ask them and they just haven't updated their site? They really need to do something with that thing. It looks straight out of of 1995.
I would be more willing to buy the kit if they bored out my current jug vs buying a new one. I'm not paying that kind of loot....or just buy aftermarket piston and sleeve kit for a stock 300 and do that.

At the time I thought $500 was cheap but I did not know what I know now.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing.
I got to keep all my 250 parts as spares but I will probably never use them.

I think it depends on where and how you ride the bike if it is worth going from 300-331.
If you are doing a lot of street or long wide open strectches offroad, then I would say the 331 would be better because you could run some higher gearing for more top end and still have a lot of bottom end torque.
Where I mostly ride I think I am pretty set with 300cc. I am running 14/47 gearing and it gets a little buzzy at 65mph on the street but I only use the bike on road for short commutes and to get to trails. Offroad in the woods it has more than enough power and I can easily loft the wheel for obstacles.
I think that the only way I would go to 331 would be if I got a different bike for offroad and the klx got a sm conversion.
