with the right valves / piston / compression ratio theres no

I looked at the WR250R but they are a 2008 onwards model
and hold there prise... the WR250f takes a rekluse clutch..

edit.... just found this for a WR250F.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/350298522813...#ht_1134wt_932
full skirt 3 ring piston ... high compresion ,but a few base gaskets will sort that..

Interesting.

I don't know what the YZ400F's piston looks like but it has a 5 valve head with stainless steel valves. I think Yamaha changed to titanium valves for the 426.
