I have a 1997 lt 80 that I am wanting to turn into a drag race atv. I bought it from a guy that had his son tt racing it. It is pretty fast but will not leave at all. I would like to do a full engine build and would like some help before I spend the $$$'s. I have no clue what has been done to it other than the dg pipe that I can see. If anybody can help it would be very appreciated. Thanks ahead of time.

 

Welcome to the forums.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
I'm sure I can help.
I have LT80's turning 7.2 seconds in 300ft.
If it has a DG pipe on it, he wasn't that serious of a racer as there are better performing pipes out there.
To tell what's been done, I'd need pics of alot of parts.

 

I want to start over. I have access to alot of lt80 stock parts and would rather go that route. It runs good now but it has been built for a while and there is a few fairly stock blasters that we would like to spank.

 

What stock parts do you feel is going to help.
We mod everything to make em go fast.
Please don't waste your money on a 20mm carb.

 

Well I dont think they will help, but I dont know how hacked up my parts are inside. This bike was set up some time back and I am sure there is alot better parts and technology now. I am looking for crank, cyl, head, carb and clutch work. I really need this thing to leave hard of the line. This is where the are killing us. Thanks for the help

 

Chances are your parts are fine. I get them in "race ported by bozo" all the time.
We buy very little. Like I said, we mod all the stock parts (like you are looking for).
Why the crank?

 

So I'm looking for some ideas for drag racing the lt80 too if anyone thats knows a few things replys I'd be more than happy to list the mods done so far thanks

 

Welcome to the forums.
List away.

 

Thank you the list goes

20mm carb
Ct pipe
Boysen reeds
Bored .20 over
Ported and shaved head


What's next to do? Any help appreciated!

 

We raced today and our best time was 11.122 doesn't seem right with the mods done there are other lts that are running tens and they are stock what is the problem
