I just bought a 2009 yz250f swingarm to put on my 2004 yz250, I read on another thread something about having to mod and/or the frame to get the newer style linkage to fit.I'm just seeing if anyone here knows anything about the swap to a steel frame. I got a 09 swingarm, complete linkage, and 25mm axle on the way. I also plan on getting an 09 hub. Also will a complete brake setup (master cylinder, caliper, caliper mount) from the newer 2009-2019 4-strokes bolt onto my yz250 2stroke?

I've always wondered if this could be done on the 02-04 Steel Frames. Does anyone know if this swap has been confirmed before on a steel frame?
I have just replaced the suspension etc on my 2003 yz250 with 2009 yz250f forks, swing arm, shock etc. (everything but frame and motor)
Problems are.
1. shock/swingarm link arm from the 09 did not fit the 03 frame. But the 03 fit.(the 03 arm is a little longer.)
2.steering stops work but could do with some beefing up.
3.I changed the complete rear brake setup. the 2009 pedal did not fit had to use the 03 pedal.(09 hit the side case)
Thats About it.
If i remember i will do a ride report to compare.
Would you by any chance still have this swingarm? if so i will grab it
Yes still have it buddy. Email me👍
