Mavatar7 all years of the 300ex even the 450r inspired plastics should work you may need the fender brackets but all years of 300ex should work I know for sure 93-06 will cause they are the same atvs only difference between them is just the 300ex has a little longer stroke on the crank rod and 300ex is electric start and the 250x is of course kick only but the topend s are identical and do interchange even the bore I.e. piston is identical the crank rod on the 300ex is what makes the cc difference and I know for a fact you can run a 300ex piston in a 300 fourtrax I ran a 12:1 high compression wiseco 300ex piston in my 94 300 fourtrax utility quad

We have a 2002, 2008, and 2017 TRX250X....you can't kill those things! I'm an old man but still like to play, once I hit the mx track the 2008 never comes off full throttle and never misses a beat. It's suspension isn't motocross friendly but it'll still do 30' jumps with a good straight run. Running in tight trails it'll eat the 400's and 450's and you will not be tired from fighting a clutch and power all day. Never use to think like this until I met a guy that won a hare scramble on a KLX140 and he turned me on to the idea of small, more maneuverable machines vs big power. I personally believe the TRX250X is the most under rated and dependable quad on the market.
