Hi,
I was wondering if on the 2009 TRX250X (with the front to back driveshaft layout) it is possible to remove the driveshaft that connects to the transmission and replace it with a normal chain sprocket? (which would mean rotating the engine sideways so that it would fit in a golf cart and be chain driven) Are there any sprockets out there that would fit the spline and would there even be a way to attatch the sprocket secure enough to the shaft?

Thanks for any help!

Come on guys, answer his question. In theory it would work. If you could weld the sprocket to the shaft I think you would be good.

You can weld the sprocket to the shaft, if you don't get it too hot and melt the shaft seal. Soak a shop towel or something in water and wrap it around the shaft to keep it cool. Weld a little at a time, while letting it cool and keep changing wet shop towels and it will work.

It would be much much easier to take the rear out of a 250ex extend the axles and use the shaft drive option instead you would have to fab a new longer shaft but it would work.

Yeah, I believe you are right. That would be a lot easier.

Agree^^^^^^^^!!

Welding a sprocket on is a bad idea. You will have to cut it off when it wears out. All that heat wont be good for the shaft either.

True.Very true.

Goodbye inetryconydot. I doubt that you will be around for long. This is an ATV forum.
