Hi all,
So we picked up a Baja 250 really cheap that supposedly had never really been ran. Got it all cleaned out fired up and rode it once or twice only to find a Knox / tick in the motor. We did adjust valves and everything else that we could do to make sure it wasn't that. Well, rather than diagnosing it a whole brand new motor was $350 on sale which sounded fantastic. Even better yet I found one on OfferUp locally that I had for a hundred bucks. I verified both of them were 167fmm motors and everything looks good. Getting home and on closer inspection I discovered that the motor I bought is a 250cc not a 230cc and even worse I found out it has a 12 Pole statter, 5 wires coming out and the plug is different. Now I've watched a bunch of videos about how it all works in a couple on converting it for the headlights but my question is can I either take the AC statter out of the old motor along with the spinning magnet and mount that all up in this motor to run or order a DC CDI box and wiring harness to get this bike up and run with this 250?
Any help would be really great as I talked a friend into getting this and I'm taking responsibility for it till it's up and running for her.
Thanks mucho

"I believe China has started making the instructions on everything they're sending over here smaller and smaller so we have to keep squinting more and more to read them. That way when they take over we all looked assimilated and they don't have to feel self-conscious. Dang those smart Chinese!"
