    I'm with MR ATC here..I'll chime in and give you all my .02...
    Installing a 500 in a 250 frame is pointless for anything but straight line drag racing. Any thing else and they break. Perhaps Kasey should take his balls out of his purse and ride it like most of us ride
    I have seen these frames break when they are chumped up to accept a 500 motor. The best and easiest conversion method is to use the 500 frame and just make a custom subframe to fit ATC250R plastic. Metaltech makes a conversion swingarm and you can put your ATC triple clamps on the 500 frame. This is easier than you think. The vibration is there but almost non-existant. I'm sure Kasey and 200X agree that the vibration is terrible in there 250/500s. Vibration on the 500 in the 500 frame is not bad at all. I think it is because of the frame geometry or something. Dont ask me why it does, it just does. Anyway, this argument will go on for pages and pages but I just thought I would post my personal experience with the conversion.

    the 250 frame conversion vibrates more because of smaller tubing used for the frame wereas the CR 500 frame has a larger tube diameter. the larger tubing provides more rigidity and strength.

    I have to agree with M ATC on this one, I believe he has had more experiance in this feild so I would trust him on a job like this one. MR ATC, if i ever want a 500 in a 250R frame, i will probaly let you do it, i just cant trust myself enough, lol.
