Hello, i'm pretty much a newbie when it comes to any of this ATV stuff so please bare with me. I recently bought a 91' LT250R and i would like to put a swing arm skid plate on it. The problem is from all the pictures i have seen on the net i am not sure if my swing arm is capable of holding one. It has a sticker along the right side that says full floater in yellow letters. But i don't see anywhere that would allow for the skid plate to attach. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Here is the bike i own.

im not shure but i have a 1990 lt250r and i have a skid plate o the swing arm i dont think the swingarms changed those years i think u might have to drill it out or look under neath the sa{swing arm}towards the back and there should be holes for one it might have bolt on it allready so take those off and bolt the skid plate in there.ok![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] also where it says full floater thats the name of the suspension design they used

 

I have the Armadillo skid on my 87 and they are the same as the 91. You can get them cheap on ebya or rocky mountain atv. Nice heavy duty jobs, 1/4" aluminum construction.

 

Maybe you have aftermarket swing arm?

 

Thanks cdalekid, i wasn't sure if i had to drill my own holes. I was looking at an armadillo on ebay and i saw that it bolted to the swing arm on the sides not from the bottom. So i freaked out and wanted to make sure i didn't buy something i wasn't going to be able to use.


This is totally off the subject and if i don't get any replies i will make a new thread, but after my first ride i left the quad in the garage with the gas off, yet i seem to be leaking gas out of the carburator, on the bottom left hand side, i have some kind of drainage tube attached to it. Do you think i need to buy new seals or gaskets for the card, or that is normal for a quad of its age. Well again thanks everyone that responded [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] i left this posted last night and i didn't think anyone would answer. Oh and i'll be in Vegas this Sunday, but not quad riding stricly r and r.

 

That picture on ebay is on a YFZ. The LT is different.

 

ok u probaly bought the bike new if u know how to do go buy a carb rebuild kit and it comes with seals and springs. also look under neath the carb theres a bolt on the bottom of the bowl and it might be loose .[that bolt it how u also get to the main jet in case u needed to know that![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
