Does anyone know how many over bores you can go on a Honda TRX250R before its illegal ?

Stock displacement is 246cc, max allowed is 255, so you're allowed to gain 9cc's in area, so working in reverse...
66 * 66 * 3.1415 = 13684.374.....add 900mm*2 = 14584.374..... divide by 3.1415 = 4642.487, take the square root = 68.136mm
68.136mm is the max allowed bore, Stock bore is 66mm.

Yeah Stock bore and stroke on the honda 250's are 72mm stroke and 66mm bore, how ever running a displacement calculator I found that a 67mm piston would put you at 253cc and the next size over bore would put you at 257cc which is illegal in UAS racing. I think this alone is a good reason to change the displacement rules regarding the 250cc 2 strokes. only being able to rebore a couple piston sizes isn't realistic. and at the 68mm piston you'd be 261cc still some 40cc less than a wankle.

if they are the same as cr250 cylinders, they are nik cylinders, can't overbore.. don't know about the trx cyinders..
Dont mean to nit pick Ted, but 68mm bore will yield a 261cc capacity. Also most 250's after 2001 are 66.4 stock bore and 72 stroke.
Actually Tim, thats a really good point to argue. I hope you also argue the case of 450mx competing with the 250mx 2 strokes in AMA. Also that the 125's couldnt even get a look in until they allowed the 144cc conversion.
