FYI........

Sprocket Specialists just called me [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

The 26 steel rear sprocket is on about a 2 month back order [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
They can do aluminum, but I'm sure that's more spendy.....

So, you could go to a Suzuki dealer and have them get you a stock rear sprocket for a '87-'88 LT80.
Keep an eye on E-Bay also......

A shopping I go................

 

Hi

Just a question about the clutch, i've seen in several places mention of removing, drilling and shaving rollers, what effect does this actually have ?

Thanks

 

It raises the stall speed.
re: more throttle before it moves. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Whats the benefit in that, is it just to get a faster getaway in racing ?

Thanks

 

yes, but it's more to tune the clutchs to the motor/pipe power curve.

 

my daughter has a lt 80 and for about $250 i ah a DG pipe put in and the carb redone it had a major power increase

 

Thanks allstardj, is the increase on acceleration, top speed or allround, what would you estimate as top speed increase, 5mph ?

Thanks

 

kb3:: if you're still following this thread...at the same time you are pursueing mo' power, make sure your kids LT has good tread still on his rear tires. Climbing steep sand hills seems to be one of the most difficult things on any quad. Half the battle is good tread or paddles to displace lots of sand. The other half is rider technique, he should shift his weight back/forth over the rear axle to help the tires displace more sand instead of spin. This takes practice to not wheelie yet still displace as much sand as possible...I call it the G spot. He can work on this technique now and perfect it before or after you get him more power.

Thanks for the response. He is running paddles on the 80. It just runs out of go by the time he gets near the top of the hill. Mind you these are hills that lots of people much older than him would try to climb. He has found that he loves the sand and especially climbing the big dunes, what is a dad to do! Again thanks all for the input....I have it torn down somewhat and am starting the new build up.

What's a dad to do?? Get your wallet and motor out and get it up to fun level again for your kid. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
