Trying to catch a fish? *nibble nibble*

At 300 low hours I think its pretty clear whats needed.. That's assuming everything is stock. If its already had a few pistons and a bottom end, then perhaps it could be the PV, or pipe mounts, etc.

What you do yourself will depend on your mechanical ability and the time you have to spend working on it.

Quick and nasty test for mains bearings, remove the stator cover, grab the flywheel and see if it has any play up and down. Other than that I'd be looking at pulling the cylinder to visually inspect for damage, and then measuring things up. Generally these 250's like a piston and rings every 100hrs (or less if ridden hard). If the same pistons been in for 300hrs bore is very likely worn as well.

Pulling the top end off is a small task. Maybe 3 hrs to pull and replace parts and rebuild. Reeds would likely be a problem with starting before they would rattle.

300hrs on an original piston and rings is not low. If I were you, I would pull the cylinder off and inspect for wear and if all good with the cylinder put a fresh piston, ring, and gaskets in it.

300hrs is about 3 pistons worth, and time for a bottom end. Thats with a pretty standard trail warriors maintenance schedule. You're rattle could be one of many things from big end to little end, mains or piston slap. You won't know until you pull down and start looking. I know one thing though, ignoring it probably won't lead to a happy outcome (for you or the engine).
