hey all,
Im actually a new 4 wheeler owner. For many years i been a bike man but since i got married i wanted something to play on and give my wife some thing to ride soi bought a 87 polaris 250 cyclone for a hundred bucks. It was a good deal...it ran ok pretty solid but decided to rebuild the top end. So i was wondering if anyone else has one and if ya do could ya send a pic let me see what its actually supposed to look like. The boy that had it before me went wild with the spray paint [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img] so let me know...and actually any info about the bike would be great
Thanks all
Jerm

Try the a search on the forum and you may find some good info on your cyclone.

Welcome to the forums. You actually have a pretty fast machine on your hands. They were a lot faster than the current generation 250's. They had a clutch kit. performance pipe, aggressive porting, and a bigger carb all from the factory. They make 32hp@7,000 rpm, which the current 250's make 22hp@5,850 rpm. The cyclones are also 60 lbs lighter than the current TB250.

I had two of them. One was a runner and one for parts. The parter one donated it's top end and carb to my wifes Explorer 250. The other I sold to my buddy who still has it. It is faster than a 400 TBlazer and my 500 Scrammy. It has a great power band. The pipe on all I have seen(at least 10) get real hot and like to melt the plastic on the side. It's common. They are a little out dated looking, but the are longer wider and lower than most of todays sport quads. It was a very stable ride. Look into the clutches real good. New springs may be in order if they are original. There is a old picture of ours in my photo page. I still have a lot of respect for that ride.

 

Oh yeah, get yourself a Clymer manual for the older Polarises. Polaris did not make a manual for and the Clymer was worth it's weight in synthetic oil. lol. And welcome to the forums.
