here we go!

How much is a new frame worth, which are the better ones? I bent mine! I work at a body shop and one of the guys thinks he can streughten it. IF that fails I mayb have to buy aa new frame. My quads an 86 trx250r with +2+1 front end, and stock rear. In ride mostly xc with some track.

Second I have a gasket set for my quad it is the head gasket out of an 89 250r it is much thinner than the gasket im currently running. The problem is the kit came with 2 bottom end gaskets, do I have to use both of the bottm gaskets if I want to use the 89 over my stock.

third and final, I would like a gasoline additive for my quad(octaine/race gas). With out the cost of race gas. Before I rebuilt my machine I tried an alochol additive(methyl hydrate) in my fuel tank. It made a dramatic difference, also I have heard of acetone being a sutible additive for 2-strokes. are there any alochol injected/gasoline carbs avaliable?

I wonder what acetone does to all the rubber seals in your motor? hmm....

I once ran my 200SX on pure methonal (fuel tank dryer) with my main jet removed.. ran ok, but not worth the trouble of draining it and runnin on gas before shuting it off because of the crossiveness of the methonal. sorry for the misspelling, it is late:(

I bought my quad nowing it had a bent frame.. He hit a tree on the left a-arm. Bent it pretty good. Also nowing a body mechanic with a frame machine. We set it allup on the machine.. Cut the frame. Straighten it with the machine..(we measured from center of rear hub to center of front hub on both sides) and replaced the bend peices with new. Welded... Painted.. perfect.. The only thing i messed up was the CDI box.. When welding it, it must have shorted it out.. I had to get a new one. So unhook and removed the electronic components.. its also atleast $500 cheaper too... Good Luck !!
