I didn't know if they would interchange. I think the 250ex is autoclutch on a sport frame? Correct me if I am wrong.

They are the same engines both are shaft driven and both have the same rear end.

250ex is quite a bit faster than the Recon. I'm not sure if it's just a difference in weight, maybe a gearing thing (although it was said they have the same rear). I had a 01 Recon, friend had a 250ex (not sure what year, this was no later than 2003, so would have been early 2000's). He'd smoke me in a race every time. I'd be pegged out on the highway, he'd be able to fly by me. Both were stock. There is more there, not sure exactly what, but there is a difference (may just be weight).

"Although the engine has been pilfered off the Recon, a few performance features have been incorporated to deliver on the sporty side of the 250EX. A new two-valve cylinder head design features performance-optimized valve timing. A 31.5-mm diameter intake valve (1-mm larger than the Recon's) and a 27-mm diameter exhaust valve produce a broader usable powerband. Also new is the 55-degree intake valve angle as compared to the Recon's parallel intake valves. The 1-mm larger intake valve and more efficient angle give the 250EX 10% more power than the Recon. The new cylinder head gives it a slightly higher 9.2:1 compression ratio as compared to the Recon's 9.0:1 The power increase is matched to a new set of higher gear ratios that give the 250EX a more "sporty" feel than the utility-oriented Recon."

so if you bought all these parts for a recon 250 head, you would basically have a 250ex motor??

OK, thanks everyone. I have been looking for a Recon motor for a while, now I can look for a 250 EX motor as well.

One thing I do know is that the exhaust from a 250ex will not fit the Recon without modifying the brackets. Not sure about how the actual pipe goes into the motor, but that may be a problem you encounter with the ex motor.
