I have changed my mind about wanting a utility quad. I currently have a 1987 Kawasaki Mojave 250 bored over 20. I was wondering how much difference their is between a mojave and lakota. I already know that the Lakota has electric start and is 300cc and that it is air cooled. Also i was wondering if anyone knew of any people that wanted to trade for a Mojave or sell a Lakota for not too much money. SO if u know of anyone let me know.

 

Lakota's are sweet, they are a hard quad to find, you dont see to many. Whats on your mojave? Lakota's are great quads for anything, trail riding and they are pretty good on the track i do some races with mine, just on my track with friends and stuff but i'd have to say my lakota puts up a nice battle against some 400ex's, 300ex's and has no problem with blaster in the trail races. As you can see from my pics i really hooked up my lakota with some nice parts and i still plan on a lot more mods. Ill prbably soon race it in real compeitions. I ask some of my friends if they have

 

I have had a lot of work done to mine. It has a lot of engine work mostly. new piston, clutch, gaskets, timing chain. All of that is what i have on her right now.

 

Sounds nice, would you be able to post some pics of it, also do you have a pipe and stuff too.

 

lakotas and mojaves are both very underrated quads, but the lakota especially because it is based on a bayou utilitly engine but even before the cam and all the other engine work i put 300ex's to shame and little 7 year old kids come up to me on their 250ex's and think they could beat me and i just smoke them, and it could keep up with 400's pritty good, whats good about the lakota is that its very good in the trails, and mud, and rocks too. Their is this spot in the trails where i ride and for about 1/6 mile it is all jagged, rough rocks and i see people on 300 and 400 ex's, banshees and othet sport quads go accross and they end up rippin off skid plates and all sorts of stuff and the lakota just goes right accross. If you can, id keep the mojave and try and find a lakota too

 

I would love to post some pics of my mojave but i don't know how. No i do not have a really good pipe YET. but i will when i save some money. Right now i have a regular stock pipe. I do agree with the person that said that i should keep the mojave and get the lakota also. that way my dad and me couls ride together.
