I'm from the south and we like to ride and get dirty, I have a 250 or 300 ex I was told I have been tring to fix it back up slowly but surely and want to do it correct I have no clue what year or size of it so if anyone could help me out and the serial numbers have been pealed off the frame NEED HELP

Welcome to the forums. The VIN number should be stamped on the front of the frame, it can't be peeled off. It would have to be ground off. The sticker on the front of the frame just tells the year. If you can find the VIN number, I can tell you what size and year it is.

This illustration shows the location of the VIN number.

and if the vin numbers have been ground off..if i were you..i'd think twice about going out and ridding it..and getting stoped..a ground off vin number is never a good sign !.

A 250EX has no hand clutch it's a foot shift only, a 300ex has a clutch, a 250X has a kick start and a clutch. Revers for both the 300ex and 250X is a lever on the left side of the engine that you pull up.

It's probably the 300EX, because it has electric start and no kick start. The 250X just has kick start and no electric start. If it is a 250EX, it wouldn't be chain drive, it would be shaft drive.

Welcome to the forums. The oil filter is located toward the front of the engine up under the bottom, under a cover with one bolt holding it on.
