1987 Suzuki LT80. This machine had a complete frame off done last spring. At that time we replaced the front suspension with one from an LT160 so it has longer, wider, stronger A-arms, bigger shocks, bigger tie rods, etc, etc. We used the steering stem from the LT160 which is also much beefier. We powdercoated the frame and suspension components as well!

Issues: The front brakes need adjustment (tightened up). The back brake "sticks" which means I need to install a stronger spring. Both are minor adjustment issues that I will remedy by this weekend.

This machine needs a new owner and is ready for your graphics package!! I have extra set of rear wheels/tires available (not incl. in purchase). Lots of guys buy these for pit bikes b/c they are so tough. If you have pit bike races with your buddies, you will have the advantage with this quad!!

These are extremely popular machines because of their durability. The LT80 was virtually unchanged from its introduction in 1986 until 2005 making parts easily accessible. The Kawasaki KFX80 is identical except for the color (and name, obviously).

This is a quick little machine. Perfect for someone who may have purchased one of those Chinese or Taiwan-made knock-off POS machines and is ready to upgrade!! This machine has the factory thumb throttle so if you wanted to reinstall a screw for the throttle-limiter for a lesser-experienced rider you can do so.

No way could you do all this to a machine for the price we are asking!! To buy a Japanese made equivalent, you will spend a LOT more and THEN you will have to do all the upgrades!

Asking $1495 but will discuss reasonable offers!! Not looking for trades except maybe things that go "bang"!

 

Where are you located?

 

Great question and something I didn't even think to put in the ad!!!

Lake County, Ohio in the Northeast corner, about 30 minutes east of Cleveland.

 

Let me add that this machine was NEVER abused!!! It has a mild build to keep up with my son's size and riding skills. This was a trail ONLY machine and never saw an MX track, taken over big jumps, etc.

You can see how clean it is that we never abused it. This is a great intermediate machine, it served it's purpose for us getting us transitioned from a youth quad to a 250cc machine. The power is no longer the problem, but my 14 year old is a little cramped on this machine!!

Price drop to $1375 for ATV Connection community only!!

 

Another price drop - $1250!!! That still not good enough? Make me a cash offer and we'll talk!!

 

You guys are making me work for this!!! You KNOW these don't get listed all the time!! $1100!!!!
