What was the last year that the TRX 250 was built?
what was the best year that it was built, i heard it was the 87-89 around there?

 

88-89.

 

89

 

The 89 has the best gears, they were beefed up to handle the power and abuse, I've seen aftermarket updates for older 250R's that run 745 bucks !! So for the best tranny, I'd have to say 89. I have heard the most powerful engine was actually in the 86 ATC 250R, they changed it for the TRX, don't know why, more power is always better !!

 

The 86TRX had the same motor as the trike. (short rod) It reved a little faster and higher, but the longer rod R's (87-89) had a little bit more torque, But for the chassie the 88-89 was the best.

 

from what ive seen and heard from veterian R riders is a stock 85 atc would take a stock 86 atc for the most part with equal riders. some blame this on the flatslide 86 carb vs the round slide 85 carb. i never got a chance to do this because my 86 was ported when i bought it.
