Any ideas on mounting the 350x oil cooler on a 250x frame? any pics would be great.

Maybe mount it like where you'd mount a radiator on a Blaster/YZ250 conversion, right in front of the header pipe. And maybe a heat shield between the two. Basically mount it right on the front supports, behind the a-arms.

how did you mount it to the engine? does the 350x oil filter cover fit right on?

been wanting to add one to my 250x for a long time!

That 250x has a 350x motor in it so tryin to mount it on the 250x motor your on your own. topend my the 250x engine i have here is trashed so put the 350 in it.

been wanting to add one to my 250x for a long time!someone, I think dennis kirk,or powroll makes a cooler kit for the 300ex,250x.There are boss mounts on the clucth covers on the 250 and 300ex to drill and add fittings to run a external cooler.I just cant remember who stocks the kits.

this is my 350rx but i use this style of cooler on the 250x frames when i use 350 motors.

these coolers cool better and mount easy.

this is off a street bike but its about the same as a 400ex or 450r cooler.

i just bend 3/8 steel line and weld on the right ends for the motor and the cooler ( you must be good with a mig to do this), but you could use rubber line.

yes i remeber seeing those in old dennis kirk. don't remeber seeing them in the new cataloges, but i wasn't looking for it either!

i didn't know he had a 350x engine in that frame. i thought 350x parts would fit on, so was gonna look for a used oil cooler from one. thought i could save a few bucks!

SWIGIN where did you get that header? And do you know if it will clear the 250x frame?
