    I,m going to deviate slightly on this post but will a TRX 450R axle and/or bearing carrier work in an 86 atc 250R because I see quite a few on UK ebay for sale for a few beans ,,and I see not a lot of 250R axles/bearing carriers over here ,, so the 450R,s would be tip top if they fit ,, Has any one got info on this????
    Cheers

    I was also wondering if the 450r axel fit on hte 400ex rear end. the 450r axel is an inch wider!

    I can tell you a little about the 450r & 250r carriers & axles, as I have a 450r torn to shreads In my barn.

    The 450r sprocket hub Is offset way towards the axle carrier. The carrier Is also narrower In total width. This means the the 450r carrier would not stick out of the swinger far enough to put the brake stay on In a 250r swinger. The outside diameter of the carrier's are the same size & the bearings are also the same Inside diameter. This means the axles are the same outside diameter. A 250r axle wont hit the adjuster side of the carrier on the 450r. The 450r axle hits the adjuster side of the 250r carrier. The brake rotor hub would have alot of spline sticking out where the jam nut & collar goes on, but could probly be made to work with a spacer behind the clip collar. The bearings might not hit the correct spot on the 250r axle on the right side of the 450r carrier also. Wow that Is a mouth full. One cool thing about the 450r carrier Is It has double bearings on the chain side. The brake stay's are the same Inside diameter also & the brake hub spline Is the same.

    Im not sure what state you are in, But here in ME the EX came out in 99.

    Im not seeing 14 years there. This thread is gold as I will be buying an extended axle for my R, It is easier to find extended EX axles.

    for the 350x's you can use a 250x/300ex axle but you have to use the 300ex wheel hubs. Just like above get a 300ex axle + hubs and reuse everything else.

    I have a lonestar +4 300ex axle in my 86 350x so i know it works.

    Jason, does the 300ex axle work in the 85 350x as well? It just uses the stock 350x bearings and no special mods? I may have to do some shopping. LOL
